I did about 4 runs with my monk didn't get anything good. Crapload of bones, crap gold protective icon and a silver dye, the rest was white and blue non max junk.

If this is nerfed then kudos to whoever got dead swords already. My luck sucks anyways.

Prices definitely are dropping very fast. I sold my req11 15^50 for 100K last week. Now saw a guy trying to sell the same thing for 45K

. It would be 10K for Req9 soon

I got a +5 energy dead sword on my first run, and two gold drops the next run. Pretty hot.

Bah i cant seem to farm this with monk, neither can i make that supershort run....

i just get spiked if i solo run there bam from 3000 to 0 .. so i need 1 hero to be the distraction.

i use SOA monk build
PS
SOA
Sprit Bond
blessed Signet
SOJ {E}
Blessed Aura
Balthazars Spirit
and Mantra of Resolve to counter the Disrupts

Though from some reason sometimes they still interupte me with mantra on :S

And i use SOJ but they scatter and wont come back, so i can only kill the first group or tank for 25 min.... /sigh

and not even 1 gold drop..

Any1 got tips/advice?

Well, might as well post my build, I prolly wont be farmin there much anyway
Essential skills:
Glyph of Concentration
Stoneflesh Aaura
Sliver Armor (main dmg dealer)
Mystic Regen (for heals, rareley needed and can be replaced with other heals)

The other skills can be extra armor i.e. Conviction/Armor of Earth
And extra dmg i.e. Shockwave and Aftershock

The most important thing to the build is to maintain stoneflesh, if u have no armor up and lose stoneflesh, u die, usually, SO keep using glyph of conc in conjunction with Aura and Sliver

This build can solo both grps of the second wave at the same time, as well as anymore that come, just cant misclick glyph n aura, else u res n retry, but on the plus side, when u get it down, u can finish a farm run with zero deaths, and in around 30min, so rezone n do it again till u get one

Here is my 55 monk build:

- Protective Spirit
- Healing Breeze
- Mantra of Resolve
- SoJ
- Smite Hex
- Blessed Aura
- Baltharar Spirit
- Mending

Attributes:

-Smiting Prayers: 16
-Healing prayers: 11
-Protection prayers: 10
-Divine favors: 10
-Inspiration: 4

few important tips to make this work quickly:
-I bring a BIP necro to help me run to the portal and give energy reg after I cast 2 maintained enchantments so that I don't need blessed signet. Flag him right at the portal after that of course.
-If you get the quest and failed, next time you go there just wait for the King to be slain. Then kill the first group. After that proceed immediately to the other end of the hill so that you don't fight 2 groups at the same time.
-Cast smite hex whenever its recharged. 90 damage per mob is really a lot.
-Move closer to casters so you get deal more damage with smite hex
-If any melee scatters, just wand him and he will come back.
-If there are only 3,4 melee mobs, you only need 1 SoJ and 2 Smite Hex to finish a group.

With this build, I've never failed unless I sleep why playing

so i decided to try this farm out again for the first time in about 2 weeks and got a max req11 15^50 on first try lol. if anyone wants to try a SoA build this is what i use with a 55 monk:

-> PS
-> SoA
-> SoJ
-> Arcane Echo
-> Smite Hex
-> Mantra of Resolve
-> Blessed Aura
-> Balth's Spirit

14 Prot (with +4 scalp)
13 Div (but cast Blessed Aura with a +4 div scalp)
14 Smite
3 Healing
1 Inspiriation

what i usually do is use wurm spoor then use junudu tunnel on the way to the shattered ravines. kill 1st group in quest then move south towards spawn point, take out 2 groups coming from the east, then take out the 2 groups north and ur done. i did make a proper guide a while ago but that was for guildies...but this is all you need really

I used this:

16 Earth
13 e storage

kinetic armor
armor of earth
aura of restoration
stone daggers
sliver armor
crystal wave
earth attunement
ether renewal

Cast kinetic/armor of earth/attunement/restoration, run up and put sliver armor up, stone dagger spam to keep up health, and when low on energy put up renewal and spam stone daggers.

If you're in need for some bones for your Primeval armor, this farm is also very good. Made around 600 bones in under 2 hours.

Anyone have a good dervish build cause the 130hp dervish is way way to slow and you gotta die a lot...

"Smite hex" huh.... and here i was using "Stonesoul Strike" on the warriors...

anyway here's what i got...

I'm either going to turn it into a "Totem Sephis Axe" (+5energy) OR a "Fiery Flame Spitting Sephis axe" (10% hsr), hehehe....

In any case i'm finally going to be able to replace the totem axe i've been using for my 55.

I sold an inscribible non max blue sephis axe from this run for 10k to some noob (Kidding Thom, i love you). It all depends on what the buyer will pay.

So far Ive read that the W/Rt build and earth ele build are efficient, but which is more efficient (timewise) to run?

I havent got the time to try out this out yet due to loads of homework and test before my break, but if my ele has a long way till she gets into Desolation.

Who cares? I have a hsr 10% health +30 sephis now, and it is sexy.

Regardless, kinetic+armor of earth=2 damage from everything, except those savage slashes and reversal of damages.

Also, req 9 command gold skull shield, req 11 gold healing ankh, req 12 command ancient shield, gold req 11 smiting rod with a perfect hsr 20% mod. The drops are retardedly good up there, and it's so easy.

I just got my warrior into elona, ill have a go at this once i get him further. I smell that ANET is going to name an NPC or skill after him in campaign 4.

"Clever Was Witte": Item Spell. Hold Witte's ashes for up to 30 seconds. Each attribute increases by 2 while holding his ashes. When you drop his ashes, all nearby foes take 108 damage.

Here's a freshly picked one for you (feb 15 2007)

If only it were maxed eh...

I guess I'm inscribing this rather than that sephis axe.... LOL I ended up with a "Dead Rajazan's fervor sword" instead...

3 runs later... 3rd run gave me 3 golds including this annoyingly un-maxed one (perfect 2020 sunder too ,ouch)....

destined to be used by a caster.

I'm starting to feel sad because I feel Anet creeping up behind us all, holding a gold Maxed Nerf-Bat.... Then boink... goodbye farm spot.

To Ownageking,

It's the same build as posted in the second or third page, i might have diff attributes though.... (i didnt change my standard soa monk attributes)

Here's a pic, to make things easier...

i have 105 health...

LOL i'm trying to get to Seafarer's Rest to get the smite offhand that might make smite hex faster... (i've never played the luxon side). Other than that i use the standard weapon set for a soa monk.

good luck.
