Strategy

Get the Undead Hordes quest from Beetletun. Go outside to watchtower coast and put on your 4 maintanable enchantments, followed by a bsig. Go to the green dot on your mini map, and wait until a group of undead come. Cast PS+HB and maintain them. Once no more undead come, use SoJ. They should all die quickly. The first couple of groups won't drop anything. The last group will be too hard to tank, so when you see the group with the bone dragon in it die. Once rezzed, switch over to your -20 offhand. You will have 13 health. Cast your 4 maintainable enchantments, followed by bsig. Once the undead kill all the krytans, they will sit at the portal of Beetletun. Do not aggro untill all of the bone minions die. Pre cast HB+PS, and focus on the bone dragon. When you see him using choking gas, use HB. Once his CG is over, use SoJ+HB+PS. If he goes to use CG again, cast HB right away. Once the group is dead, abandon quest, get the quest again. Rinse and repeat.

Loot
Sephis Axe
Dead Bow
Dead Staff
Tower Shield
Runes

Best drop I've gotten so far is a r8 6-27 sephis axe. Yes, it is possible to get a max gold one.

last 2-3 groups drop items
got sup vigor + 6-27 ( < :'( ) 14^50 sephis axe req 7

I usually run 13 healing with watchful spirit to counter poison + bleeding + phantom pain

Sweet build, but I wonder if a warrior could do this if he had judge insight, cyclone axe, and triple chop.

yep. i do that on my warrior all the time.

I tried with my warrior but I got screwed by barbs and blinding flash -.-

I did this quest with my Rt/Me solo and it was very easy, just use standart Vengful build

I use my geomancer tank build. First and only trip thus far was a mid range gold sephis axe.

Did it with a normal Smiter Monk as well, less expensive build than 55 . Can't take on the last 2 waves or so at once though, prefer them stretched out, so I continuously fall back.

But as many of the enemies are lvl 1 stuffing anyway, I prefer the route bergen/ nebo/ cursed lands/ black curtain - lots of lvl 15+ enemies for gold drops between 13+ for bread and butter.

well i did 3 runs and so far so good...no max wep yet BUT i got a short sword with a +30 Pommel that i couldn't salvage and a Gold Sephis 6-22 +29 19/20 and also 3 other worthless golds. i also drop essence bonds and use watchful spirit so i don't die in the last group.

i tanked it fine on the last group, some of the undead just run past me and dont attack thou

I use to run this with a W/Mo using Shield of Judgement back in the day. Max weapons are relatively rare, but they do drop. I had a friend who got a couple max Sephis axes from it, but I got mostly non-max ones on my runs. I did however get some good perfect mods from some slightly less than max gold drops as well as some decent runes.
