To start this is my farming build(viable even after the 11/10/05 update)

W/MO

attributes:

Smiting=12
Tactics=9+1 rune
Healing=10

and just pour the rest into Axe mastery.

Armor:

The armor i prefer to us is Glads for the chest and legs, Knights for the boots, Wyvern for the arms, and of course Axe helm. Try to get as high as absorption and vigor runes as possible.

Skills:
cyclone Axe= used to charge bonetti's and give you health from vig spirit
bonetti's defense=major form of protection
vigorous spirit(what i like to call Viagra's spirit)=heals you when ever you hit something
Shield of Judgment{E}= only effective AOE smite Ive found to work, make sure you use this only with bonetti's on
sprint=to get to the enemies
endure pain=in case your in a tough situation
mending=make sure this is +3 Regen
Balthazar's spirit=every time you get hit you get energy

Execution:

Now a good place to start is "talus chute"(just outside droks). start off by casting mending as soon as you load up. Then at the start there may be some dengue or dwarfs,
try dodge them by staying to the left wall. If they come for just use sprint. When you just about go into the cave where the trolls are cast balths spirit, then go in.
Try to get the whole first batch around you. Then when your fully surrounded attack with cyclone immediately followed by bonetti's. Wait for cyclone to recharge then cast vig spirit,cyclone,bonetti's in that order. If and when your health get below half just use cyclone and bonetti's over and over again, until your comfortable. when you feel like it cast SoJ for some extra damage. And remember if your about to die use endure pain till u can use a skill. So have fun and don't hurt yourself.

difficulty 1-10: this is a bit easy ,probably a 5. To make it even easier swirtch SoJ with Gladiator's defence

Is there a reason for axe?
y not sword or hammer?
persnoly i am a hammer user

Knido · Nov 30, 2005, 10:13 PM // 22:13

axe for cyclone axe

hammer has one like it, but it gets interrupted
sword has Hundred Blades, but its an elite

coldslammer · Nov 30, 2005, 10:17 PM // 22:17

fow chest farming is rewarding, just make a random running build, run out to the chests, open em, 15>50 chaos axe

, if its not a chaos axe, its a shadow bow/shadow staff or offhand/shield. sometimes you get other random stuff like dragon swords, and hammers.

Sharpe_116 · Nov 30, 2005, 10:24 PM // 22:24

I farm everything with my mo/w and m/me (2 diff chars). My fav spot is UW. when we have favour, me and a guildy get together and just farm till our eyes bleed.

second favourite spot is griffs for the cash

3rd is hydras.

last is perdition rock ( hint hint mo/me) i dont like perdition cuz i might doze off and gett tottaly mauled..

jonny
you might wanna try switching endure pain for judges insight i believe it is
the one that makes you do holy dmg

Monica Angelina · Nov 30, 2005, 11:32 PM // 23:32

I've tried Judges Insight before with not so great results. It doesn't last very long and can be interrupted. The worst part, 1 plat just to find out it wasn't suitable for my build based on someone else's suggestion.

ditto... but i do rarely use endure, i will look for a skill later tonight and see if i can get more of a damage output, only one off the top of my head is deadly riposte.

xiaokai · Dec 01, 2005, 02:54 PM // 14:54

Outside of Augury Rock - Hydras to the north, Griffons to the south.

jonnybegood · Dec 01, 2005, 09:21 PM // 21:21

i dont like to farm those darn hydras for some reason, takes way to long to get any thing i guess

xiaokai · Dec 01, 2005, 09:26 PM // 21:26

can i farm hydras and griffions alone solo?
W/MO 20 Hammer
wat skils should i use for them?

------------------------------

where is it most likely to get black dye

-------------------------------------

some1 said "Besides, farming griffons is pointless now anyways - they've been nerfed to hell."
true? or untrue?

ummm...using SoJ when you have bonetti's on kinda defeats the purpose...

i prefer Glad's Defense post-patch...

1. Check the Gladiator's Arena - there are tons of builds for W/Mo's for farming. And I mean tons.

2. Black dye drops randomly all over - there is no one place that is better to get those drops.

3. True from a gold weapon standpoint, but these still do drop decent amounts of cash (i.e. normally, each one drops about 100g - so, if you kill 10, that's not a bad haul for a few minutes of work).

I know someone posted their build for FOW chest farming a while back, but I can't find it... care to help out?

jonnybegood · Dec 02, 2005, 01:54 AM // 01:54

3-4 plat in 1 run? honestly i don't see how you do it. not criticizing you though, i only get 800-1500g a run. plz explain how you come about this.

take out all the griffons (except for the monk boss if he's around) then go kill the minos to the NW of Augury...it's not always 3-4k, but i can usually pull in that much every other run or so...
