Hello Ladies and gents, and anyone in between, if you've read my latest post, I on the day of December 29, 2006 at 6 A.M. Hawaii time declared tombs to haave been solo farmed for the first time. A one small step for man and a giant leap for sins. It took me a good 6 hours of pain sticking playing, and am very proud of the experience. Thank you A-net for giving such a wondrous time. Ah lets cut the crap, anyways I am willing to show the full guide on how I did it. My reason for soloing tombs in the first place were
1. I like great challenges
2. I believe nothing is impossible
3. Sins were always put down from others
4. I like ninjas *itachi: mangekyou sharingan bwahahahahaha*
5. I wanted to be the first -.-'
All the more I started my project one month ago. I only collected information with my sin on the monsters, their aggro, and basicly how they react. I already got the pops memorized since my ranger already farmed the place before Factions came out. And so I started doing it and got used to it, but the tiring long hours didn't really get me far due to school and the daily non such. Anyways thanks to a help of a couple of people I cut down the time it takes me to get down a level and on December 29, 2006 I declared TOMBS SOLOED.

*******daghang Salamat sa Ginoo for the blessings nga iyang gi hatag*****

Here are the pix to prove it, they're in no particular order:



YES BUDDY THE TOMBS HAS BEEN SOLOED... BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!!!!
































Thanks to these people:
Airji<---modified my build better
Ecknine<----- finding out the diffirence in duals and solo
Silverblade
and all the people who dualed with me

Special Thanks to:
God<--- for brining luck and blessings for my life
Mom<---for buying me 2 ultimate cheese burgers @ jacks dat nite
Brother<---- for taking all my chores that day -.-' I had to pay him....
Sister<----- for finding my long lost mouse for my laptop
A-net and Guild Wars

To A-net: Although you do nerf most things because people find ways to solo it, I believe that's a kind of injustice. To be able to solo means that you have become an advanced player, you took the time and patience to figure out how to solo. This solo here took me 6 hours to clear the whole thing once... and it took me a month to gather information and what not. So just because one guy solos it doesn't mean it should be nerfed. So please do not nerf it and this is a big break for sins who has been put down when they came out until Night fall came and gave them good skills. At that time(factions) I believe the people who made them a disgrace were idiots because they really didn’t know the sin's capabilities and just kept ramming into aggros and such.


***** In order for me to post a complete guide soon, I ask a favor, if someone can give me a full map of each level of Tombs then that would be a great help. It makes the job easier for me if I just explain in map.

And your so damn right with this. I bet it takes ages to learn the tactics which u used in this build. Really good job. I hope sins get more respect from now. Anyway you've my respect.

I've been using your build for a few days now and must say Great Job!!!

One question though...what is your process for killing the worms.
If they spawn with scythes and grasping around which do you kill first?
Do you use the same method for killing them as everything else?

Any help on the worms is greatly appreciated.

btw...I made 10k just clearing the 1st and 2nd room (up til the worms) and it was a breeze. If you bring enough salvage kits to pick up everything, and clear the entire tombs...you'd be rolling in $$$$ even with no ecto or green drops.

Thanks again for the great build.

Gear-dagger mask with sup daggers and sup shadows and sup criticals on two other armor peices/totem axe or something with enc 20%/then vampric daggers of enc20%/no need for sup vigor

(11+3)-14 shadow magic
(6+4)-10 dagger mastery
(8+3)-11 critical mastery
and the main part 10 domination

Skills
1.Shadow of Haste
2.Arcane Echo
3.Shadow Form(E)
4.Empathy
5.Black lotus strike
6.Black spider strike
7.Twisting fangs
8.Dark Escape
i have to give most credit to the person who soloed with his mesmer and rawlinson.

basiclly use the same tactic rawlinson did with the shadow form and haste part(except use totem before going into combat then switch when running in then switch when escaping). Then when you attack a creature use empathy then BLS followed up with Black spider and twisting fangs. After that switch targets use shadow form when the recharge counter thing is on the box with the number in it the shadow form skill on your bar(hard to explain) anyway repeat that same thing with the closest creature after youve kill two pick up items quickly(dont have to right off you can wait but when you get good at it u can pic up when attacking) then dark escape. these are the mods to the old build
Again big thanks to airji, love you man, but I aint dat kind of guy whod kiss a guy

Edit: the stats can be altered with superior runes so these combinations could be possible

10dom, 10 dag, 14 shadow, 12 crit
10dom, 11dag, 14 shadow, 11 crit
10dom 12dag, 14 shadow, 10crit

**I use the second combination

PASSING STAGE 2: Part 1 of 2--sectors 1 and 2

PASSING 2-1



The red dots in the picture indicates where you need to activate ur shadow haste. The reason for this is to avoid mob detection. Therefore unless you are too cool to die, I suggest using the indicated area.




The colors indicate groups of mobs and here is the color order in which you have to follow.
Color Order:
1-blue
2-green
3-yellow
4-purple/pink
1-this mob consist of dream riders and terror webs. I suggest killing terrorwebs first due to the fact they are bleed-able.
2-This mob consist of scythes and grasps. There will be a ton of grasps so, watch careful on ur bar, dont over do too much with your combos. In here you should kill all grasps of insanities first then go for scythes. You as a sin can only kill one grasp of insanity within a 40sec sf due to energy sucking from Grasps.
3-same as 1
4-same as 2
*note*there is a high likeable chance dat you will aggro groups 2-4 so be very careful with energy, be alert dat there are alot of grasps on you.


After killing these 4 mobs, you have to kill the group found south. there are pop ups of grasps of insanity. I suggest you start in the middle where the tortured soul spawns.


Vaula you have passed area 2-1


PASSING stage 2-2


Here I've indicated markings.

Gray line-Its below the baby-blue dots, which makes it look like a face... Here is where you start inorder to kill the lime-green pop up and blue mob.

Light blue dot- This spot is where you activate shadow of haste when you are killing the worms.

Pink/Purple line-This is the bottom of the stair. before you cross the point you should activate your sf cus beyond here the left wurm can feel you.

Yellow dots-popping wurms

light green-pop ups

blue dot- patrol consists of grasps and scythes

red dot-duh thats a group

*NOTE*-wurms can't feel you when u port out, therefore they wont chase you
-always kill grasps of insanities first


HOw to pass:
1. activate the left pop up. kill the graspsin that pop up group.
*note*wurm will attack you, when he pop ups u lose balance and take 30 damage. Just get the grasps within your aggro bubble and if wurms pops up stay still and let grasps come.

2.kill blue patrol
Same with 1

3.kill left wurm
How to kill wurm: first head over to light blue dot. activate shadow of haste. Cast Echo, head a little up over barney line. Stand still, wurm pops up, cast sf, attack with all your might. Port out, and rinse. This will take about 4 times doing over and over.


4.Aggro pop up group. Kill red group and pop up. Read step 1 and 2

5.Kill wurm:read step 4.



And vaula you have just cleared Area 2-2



*****sorry I didnt take much pictures... I'll post 2-3 and 2-4 soon, I passed dem but ddint take pics

And this is Random Arena Irl


And this is where we went after my sin got bored farming tombs


bwaahahahah im bored On the side note, all the wurm killing or aggro needs to be done with only one person to be on the sfe side. Because if two people go:
1. there is a likable chance that the wurm will aggro you to your soh site
2. you'll get chased around the whole place
3. you'll have a freakish accident in which RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO and sucker goes all coco like mines and ecknines (luckily I figured how the wurm works)

Back to topic. How often do Grasp of Insanitys and Scythe of Chaoses drop gold items? Haven't got a single drop yet.

Clearing sector 2-3 and 2-4


This is sector 2-3 for me, it could be 2-4 to you

yellow= pop ups of grasps
blue and light blue= terror web dryders
green= terrors + riders
purple= patrol of grasps and scythes

How to use:
1. red square-use soh here
2. green square- cast echo
3.purple square-cast sf here
4. kill pop up group
5. kill yellow green group ***kill the terrors first***
6.kill blue group
7. kill purple patrol
8. kill terrors
**Note: like math there are many ways to solve a problem, so have fun get crazy and do what ever***

KILLING WURM IN SECTOR 2-3


RED DOT= WURM
BLUE DOT= GROUP OF SCYTHES AND GRASPS
GREEN CIRCLE= AGGRO BUBLE OF WURM

HOW TO KILL:

STEP 1: ACTIVATE SOH ON RED SQUARE
STEP 2: ACTIVATE ECHO ON YELLOW SQUARE
STEP 3: ACTIVATE SF ON PURPLE SQUARE
STEP 4: GET IN ALL THE WAY TO THE MONSTERS INSIDE ATLEAST TO THE POINT WHERE THE GRASPS AND YOU COLLIDE. THE REASON FOR THIS IS YOU ARE TRYING TO RAISE THE AGGRO BUBBLE UP SO THE WORM CAN'T DETECT YOU ONCE YOU STEP BACK AND SO THAT YOU HAVE A CLOSER SPACE TO ACTIVATE SF THUS INCREASING THE TIME YOU STAY IN YOUR FIRST ONE.
STEP 5: KILL ALL THE MONSTERS(EXCEPT WURM)
sTEP 6k KILL THE WURM
-1. ACTIVATE SOH ON THE RED SQUARE
-2. ACTIVATE ECHO ON YELLOW SQUARE
-3. GET INSIDE THE ROOM AND GO IN THE MIDDLE, LET THE WURM POP UP AND RIGHT AFTER YOU TAKE THE DAMAGE USE SF. **YOU SHOULD HAVE A LOCK ON HIM ALREADY TO SPEED PROCESS AND TO AVOID WAISTING PRECIOUS SECONDS***
-4.RIGHT AFTER SF CAST EMPATHY ON HIM AND USE THE COMBO. BEFORE YOUR 20SECONDS IS UP WITH YOUR FIST SF CAST EMPATHY AGAIN AND USE THE FIRST CHAIN IN UR ATTACK THEN QUICKLY USE THE SECOND SF. THEN USE B.S.S(BLACK SPIDER STRIKE) AFTER THAT AND DO THE COMBO. BEFORE YOU USE UP YOUR LAST SF, TRY TO ATLEAST LAND B.S.S
*NOTE: NEVER TAKE THE CHANCE OF DIENG. IF YOU ACTIVATE DARK ESCAPE ON THE LAST SECOND FOR YOU TO POP OUT THE WURM WILL FEEL YOU AND DIG OUT THUS GIVING YOU 60 DAMAGE AND KILLING YOU. BESIDES THIS IF YOU DO MANAGE TO GET AWAY, HE WILL CHASE YOU***


CLEARING 2-4

*** SHIT I NEVER TOOK A PIC OF THE PATROL OUTSIDE( GROUP OF RIDERS AND TERRORS). WELL I GUESS YOU GOTTA FIGURE THAT OUT BY URSELF AND SINCE YOU CLEARED 2-3 YOU GOT A BIGGER RUNNING ROOM SO NO WORRIES***

SO UM... CLEAR THE PLACE USING UR WITS, OH AND DONT GO NEAR THE ROOM THAT HAS THE WURM...

KILLING WURM IN 2-4:

**FOLLOW THE SAME PROCESS WITH 2-3, BUT BECAREFUL THE MONSTERS INSIDE WALKING IN A SQUARE... SO TRY TO GET IN AND HIT A SCYTHE IN ORDER TO RAISE THE AGGRO BUBBLE OF WURM HIGHER AND GIVING YOU MORE SPACE OF WHERE TO ACTIVATE SF****



***I SUCK AT MAKING GUIDES*****



****FOR STAGE 3 I NEED A FULL MAP TO BETTER EXPLAIN.. ITS BECAUSE i NEED TO EXPLAIN WHERE THE SPEWS CAN DETECT YOU AND WHERE THE SPOTS THAT THEY CANT****
