Hmmm... so many cool builds for this farm spot, maybe we can edit the first page and compile the builds for all the different classes, listing the current most effective skill sets and attributes for each class. (with pictures to make it visually stimulating, hehehe)

and ofcourse credits to onerabbit for calling attention to the fam spot, thanks dude!

Not really

I found out that 16 in axe, 10 strength, 4 in smiting prayers, 4 tactics and 8 in healing prayers work very well. with the build you posted.

found a really easy build

Ele/Mes
16earth
10inspiration
8energy storage

Glyph of renewal
Sliver armor
Stone daggers
Aura of restoration
Mantra of resolver
Mantra of Earth
Stone striker
Stone flesh

When low on energy throw on Mantra of Earth (but don't cast anything) then when you need to cast hit mantra of resolve. Always use glyph of renewal then sliver armor and it will be instantly recharged. Once sliver armor is off hit glyph then sliver again so you can renew it every 15 seconds instead of 30.

for dervish just put mystic regen, armor of sanctity, veil of thorns, and some nice offensive skills together and works easy oh and conviction helps alot to. They should be doing 0 damage to you maybe a little if you keep veil of thorns and armor of sancity up at all costs. This reqs a zealous scythe and 20% longer enchantments for energy managment. Takes less then 5 min if get a good build.

For an earth ele, stoneflesh aura at 16 earth results in 0 damage taken, except the odd armor-ignoring +27 from savage slash under resolve or +4 from reversal of damage/zealot's fire. This can easily be topped up with aura of restoration. Devoting half your bar with mantra of earth, armour of earth, stone striker and so on is totally unneeded, it doesn't make any difference!

Anyways heres the sword, as usual ALMOST maxed...

Oh I'll post my build when i'm happy with it, i tried the standard UW ele build that was posted earlier and i didnt like it when the spirits kept running around and not dying. (but so far i feel that the ele is faster when it comes to killing the warriors compared with a monk using soj)
Ive had a simula experience, was farming greens on mhy necro, and i used the same build for about 5 months, and never got any greens, so i decided t change the build and i was getting greens galore..

So maybe, if you not getting any dead swords, try it out with a different chars and hope to have better luck..or change your build a bit..

in my own experience, I've found that if I switch to my newly-created Dervish and do many missions and quests, next time I go back there I will get some dead swords in the first few runs. Got 5 dead swords in 2 days now. Oh and another thing: IF I dont get any dead swords in the first 3 runs, I would not get any even if I keep doing it for more than 50 runs after. pretty weird.

This place is worth farming if you are looking for lots of bones, fast.

this farm is worth it
Dead swords drops
ancient shield drops,
and if you are do it fast and only pick up the blue/purple/gold/ and bone until your bag is full, they zone back, you will find the farm can make a profit even no rare items drop

There are many different builds for different classes here so try them all, or take the advice of others. This place is VERY worth farming. I've gotten 3 dead swords in 2 days, one of the max that sold for 100k + ecto. Farm farm farm before the nerf comes and the prices go down...*sigh*
