You can change to /D by the Command Post, idiotas!

In Elona, I'm pretty sure u r considered to be ascended once u make it to Sunspear Sanctuary, and do the 1st Building the Base quest for a profession changer to appear in Command Post. Nothing time consuming or hard involved.

Prophecies characters must be Ascended and Factions characters must become Weh no Su before being allowed to change their secondary profession here. (Here as in Command Post). Info taken from Wiki.

Make the effort to get /D secondary. It's so worth it. I'd say 2-3 hours from Lions Arch and you could be in the Command Post. Then just get a guild member that has completed the "building a command post" quests to group with you and the secondary profession changer will be there for you to use.

Been on and off, still no colossal. Bleh. I'm unlucky, but I've been getting lots of nice bows and hammers, including a purple r9 inscribable Spiked Club.

You can change your profession in Great Temple of Balthazar as long as you are ascended, then there is no need to get command post that far.

In any case, why not hunt out general farming builds for the relevant classes and test them there at least. ^_^

The Corsairs out of Zehlon have Burning and Reaper's Mark, which is like -13 degen. Plus, Deep Wounds, Cripple and those stupid Corsair Nets.

Everything else is pure damage. They have no Enchantment Removal at all.

EDIT: 130hp dervish is limited.. kills faster but the floggers are creepy.. reapers mark + burning = ouch. but i guess it works if you're cautious and stuff. mo/d is a lot easier though.

EDIT 2: 130hp dervish can kill groups with necros and rangers too. but you need to be careful. again, mo/d is easier but dervish seems to kill faster.

yeah, its not really worth the time for farming it, its just worthless. too many people are farming it, so the price is extremely low, like on the dead swords.

Here's an Ele/Derv build I figured would work, and it does.
Not sure if that's the "full" Corsair run, I killed about 15-20 of em?

Bar slot #7 is fleeting stability, useless so take it out.
I'm thinking Harrier's Haste to run there perhaps?

http://hidebehind.com/2C765D

Earth Magic 16 (12+4)
Earth Prayers 12 ------ Might be able to be lowered to increase energy storage ... I have a +1 energy storage rune on that armor (15k Smite solo armor), I'm sure you can get away with a +2 or even a +4, you have a lot ofprotection so lower health shouldn't be a problem.

After I took the picture I went and killed 2 more hungry skales .. 1 of em dropped a gold forked sword :P

***Edit - Can be done with only 8 Earth Prayers (Regen is still +3)***

Nah doesn't matter 8 or 9, you're all alone doesnt do much, just deep wound, no trouble with the armor up + Mystic Regen.

16 Earth Magic
8 Earth Prayers
Energy 8+1 (I have it at 9, does it need to be, meh.)
Air 7+1 (I have it at 8, does it need to be, meh.)

I added Storm Djinn's Haste instead. If you're having energy problems, then take some off air and add it to energy.

Although I still didn't get my CS after 4days of farming zehlon for ~3hours a day I'm still quite happy with the spot, 3-5golds per run aint bad (i also kill skales and termites).
Btw a bit off-topic but do req8's still drop??? Havn't gotten one in a months :S.

"You Are All Alone"
If target foe isn't near an ally, that foe suffers from Cripple and Weakness for 7 seconds.

Weakness
Weakness is a condition that reduces the damage of your attacks by 66% and all of your nonzero attributes by 1.

That means it'll lower earth prayers to 7, and that means +2 regen/enchant.

Maybe read through my post thoroughly next time?

Let's think about that ..

Earth Attunement, Armor of Earth, Stomeflesh Aura, Obsidian Flesh, Sliver armor, Mystic Regen and Storm Djinn Haste for good measure ... 7 enchants ... which would either be +21 or +14 regen ... where is the problem?

Poison and burning arrow?
Poison, Burning Arrow and Reaper's Mark?

Have YOU tried the build yet? Or just out looking to poke holes in builds?

their Reaper's Mask is -6HP deg so Burning and RM alone make u suffer -13 HP deg. 14HP Reg is certainly not enough.

Btw my mate bought a req9 colossal unmodded for 50k.

I use Mending + HB + Watchful Healing.

Mending +3, HB +8, Watchful +3

It just cancels out the degen fully. Therefore degen = 14

Btw... poison??? never encountered it there...
