too bad the timer didnt start from the time she had to leave from leviathan pits to get there then having to fight through the outcasts to get to the oni bridge...

lol thought it was funny when she kep trying to activate the second visage when hexed...

u can do an oni run north zone of breaker hollow that has 12-16 oni total in 4 minutes flat useing

arcane
vengfull was
visage
illusion of haste
phys resistance
vengfull wep
mend body
channeling

with no confrontation of other mobs and 1-3 chest per run as well

the tactic with onis is just to get a visage/channeling/resistance up before entering agro(note u must cast arcane as soon as u agro for this or u have potential to get interupted by a knockdown) of them then just arcane and vengfull was... if running dual visages instead of illusion of haste (for running through mobs and faster runs) ull again want to have one visage on before agro then cast the second upon their hex expiring

whil holding the vengfull was keep spaming vengfull wep a single resistance and a single channeling can disperse a group of 6 without needing redone at...

11 illusion
4 insp
16 restoration

and using a enchants +20% weapon and a HRT offhand... by timing correctly your vengfull was will last 13 seconds each time providing better killing

this is why i wait till my first vengfull was start blinking fast before casting the next allowing it to completely expire just before the next is activated allow me to get longer lasting and chance for half recharge... also channeling last longer this way and so does the first visage... if you dont mind being risky u cast ur visage between vengfull was... it takes decent timing and good connection but is completely manageable and it allows the Vrit to farm long and do a few more areas that normally cant be done... like outcasts which are a real pain in the arse in groups larger than 4 typically... but can be done

I'm only interested in getting skill points right now and was wondering what the fastest xp farming area was.

other than the wirlpool and afarming shiro-ken which are the same xp but are much deadlier and way harder to farm with the Vrit

Are Oni farming runs faster xp than troll runs?
Ever since someone posted the Me/Rt vengeful variant, I have been farming trolls. It seems pretty fast, but I'm getting tired of doing that cave over and over.
What large Oni areas are there? I have so many skill points to get to make up for all the wasteful spending I did on switching profs earlier.

What large Oni areas are there? I have so many skill points to get to make up for all the wasteful spending I did on switching profs earlier. where i get all my xp from is the onies outside the north zone of breaker hallow luxon side... there are 4 groups of onis there 3-4 oni per group but the run is done in 4 minutes so bout a skill point eveyr 8-12 minutes if that fancies ya... gawd should test how many runs per point but its fast... my vrit is only 4 months old and has over 2mil xp from doing them

they are popup groups so they aren't easy to find unless u know where they are

from the zone run past the shrine on the right (east) into the little alcove there is a popup there...

then run back along the beach west till there will be 2 groups of nagas there that u avoid.. the group walking on the sea is a short range patrol and stays in the area but the group on the beach itself will walk past u if you wait... or by using illusion of haste u can agro the group in the sea Do Not agro the beach group... head north through to the alcove on that side of the beach where another oni group spawns... after that group spawns continu on the trail north then west along the cliff at the top of the cliff is another popup group....

after dispatching that group u can resign or make the run for the 4th group which is a bit away from the 3 main groups.... continu west going down the other side of the cliffs... trying not to agro the patroll of rotwallows... after u pass the pillars at the botton of the cliff u have multiple direction u can go... continueing west takes u to the next zone aspenwood going north is the direction u want to start but u dont want to agro the rotwallows that are north of u... you want to only go north a very short time then head west which will take u up the side of another cliff... near the mountains near the top of that short cliff is the 4th group...

like i said if u ditch one of your visages for illusion of haste u can do all 4 groups in 4 minutes.. if u skip the last group ur done in 3 which is easier and of corse faster to do... i do all 4 because of the drops... lvl 28 oni ull get oni blades oni shrouds(salvage into silk and linen) and oni drop monstrous eyes/claws/fangs plus the chests that usually spawn near the 2nd,3rd, and 4th group

u can pm in game if u need a quick show through.. ign listed under my post info on the left

I really appreciate the time you took to teach me! yup no prob...

and here are your figures

4 groups spawning 3-4 oni each group
4 minute run once masters
232 xp at lvl 20 per oni
1-3 chests per run
oni shrouds salvage into cloth/linen/silk
oni talons-25gp per
Monstrous Claws/Fangs/Eyes
Gold Oni Dagers/Swords
Gold Archaic Axes
Golds From Chests
100+ gold

2,784-3,712xp per run

you need 15k xp per skill point at lvl 20
every 5-6 runs will give u a skill point
20-24 minutes per skill point

just from picking up everything they drop and salvageing the good materials and selling you can get 3-4k per run (sell rare materials to traders only those fangs sell to trader usually for 1.1k per)

even though Rhea's has a larger congested group of oni's getting to them takes more time for the effor and Ungues of the Oni sell for crap anymore plus the Outcasts are BS to get through for the most part...

plus if you ever have trouble with drops due to anti-farming you can simply do the run and leave through aspenwood gate zone and do the reverse to reset

troll farming is slow because of the heal sig on most monsters
