as mentioned by previous posts, they do drop drom dahjka intel, i tried to solo it, but died on first try, 2nd try i killed the first 2 enemies and got a non max dmg gold hammer, on third try got a 14-20 colossal scimitar req9 and sold it for a deacent ammount. then me and guildie ran about 20 chests in barbarous shore and they all dropped corsair items (chests near corsairs)
it took us about the same time to fight as to run so we fought with henchies instead also got a green on the way, but didnt get the sword.
now im working on a 2 man build to farm dahjka intel because as a solo i can either survive and not do enuf dmg or do neither of those.
ill have time and a guildie available for help this weekend to try and clear atleast the first portal of the challange mission as it takes quite some time.
as a solo i can survive all the degen (burning bleeding and i think poison) and tank all the dmg (55 monk doesnt work as guildie attempted with a monk and all monks regen skills as he still died and was very low on energy even with blessed sig) in hopes of gettin a scimitar, imma still try to get this build completed and hopefuly will be able to post it after a good ammount of successful runs
(will also be my first farming build)

Omg thanks for the info can you say what kinda of corsair droped the colossal?
I've been able to solo all the groups w/o monks so just killing the first few groups nets you a colossal then thats just awesome

Where the hell do people turn to sell all the shit they find? If i found anything that was 14-20 i'd merch the piece of crap. Let alone if it was purple. Merched 2 Diamond Aegis' a few weeks ago, got an Ancient Shield in storage that i'll prob merch for taking up space sooner or later too (ok its not quite the same as a perfect CS...).
Is it even worth it trying to solo Inlet? You would definatly need a 2-3 man build to even approach a worthwhile speed since you only have 10 minutes to farm each trip, once you've got a build to cope with the insane amount of degen and other conditions you'd have to do damage.... and since you don't have all to do it in...

Buddy, don't be so negative.
It's pretty much possible to duo Dahjak Inlet and at a reasonable speed too (in a good run you can take out the initial area and the fortress afterwards - roughly 50-60 corsairs). For quite obvious reasons I won't tell the whole build yet but Life Siphon pretty much nullifies all the degen they can throw at you. This also tells you lots about the elite on the tank. And about the sidekick, well more power to the neglected and shunned.

I believe it was the Weapon Master who dropped it
a 2-3 man would definately be doable but id like to make it 2 man for a better chance of getting the item, and im pretty sure i could do it 2 man because as a solo I CAN take all the degen they throw at me due to me being able to produce about +16 regen or so... didnt really count but with all the degen they give me i still have +8 regen...
as a solo i was able to tank an aggro of prolly 3-4 groups but i had a lucky spawn and there was only 1 healer and i managed to take him out solo but then ran out of time/energy since as a solo after i atttack i need few mins to get energy up for next attack. and as for speed, im just planning on clearing 1-2 areas.
as for the elite skill on the tank that kas has implied to, my elite is a very strong offensive skill and also, good idea for life siphon, havent thought of that.
i guess thats all i can say for now... cuz the only time im able to practice it is during weekends.
oh evilsod, i merch all the crap 2 even max weaps if i kno they not gonna get me some deacent ammount of $... but for this 14-20 i got 100+33 and i wasnt trying to get extremely large ammount for it, just something deacent.

ive tried 55 dajkeh
i can kill the first 3 corsairs but the later big group just degen me to death
I also tried using ele with mystic regen (total 5 enchantments) but still i got like -4 or 5 health degen, so i think dajkeh is not for me
and for the moddok mission, are the very first 5 corsair cutthroats that will drop the sword? as they are the only lvl 20 corsairs no matter what your choice is

We had a guild group try 3, 4, and 5 man and we got to the 2nd map but just could not be fast enough to beat the timer.
I honestly think the best way to do the challenge mish is just to form a normal 8 man group and blast through it.
The AI on the doctors is just absurd. They just run around mindlessly in circles...quite annoying.

They just run around mindlessly in circles...quite annoying. actually I can clear over half the npcs on the first map solo, its all about waiting for the right time to run in kill/gank then get out. But the one guy said he got a colossal on the first map which is great news. I'm sure you'll have to do a ton of runs though.
But the AI on the doctors is crazy, I even bought with a cripple and still X_X runs fast you eventually get hit with a corsair net and its gg.
I havent tried to farm this for like a month though so i'll have to try it again after hearing that its confirmed they drop on the first map
maybe i'll get lucky >_<

Are colossal scimitars only worth anything if they are gold, or are they so rare that even white, blue or non-max are worth some money?
The Last Anthem
I've seen a gold colossal scimitar drop from the YAA boss in the quest Land of Heroes on the island. No idea what req or if it was max because I was pugging it with one other person and they wouldn't answer me 
Kas
The healing specced corsair doctor has one major flaw though, he uses healing touch. So if you're fed up by him playing the chicken game, start damaging one of his buddies bad enough he'll move into close range all on his own. The secret is to than keep him busy. You simultanously need to damage other guys to lock the corsair doctor at his place.
The protection specced corsair is even less of a problem, you can get him to waste all his energy on guardian and reversal of fortune by simply hitting an enemy with your caster weapon.

They DO drop in Moddok =)

Sory for OT but i this mission farmable by warrior? or ranger?

Try farming Corsairs in Hard Mode...I would think that would net you some Colossal Scimitars. Though how to farm them...don't ask me.
ShadowsRequiem
Yes, Hard mode is out and wow omg.... Have any of you seen how many colossals are up for sale now?
Farming corsairs in the start of moddok is a good idea now... all lvl 20 easily soloed by a w/rt I 've tried a few runs with a full 8 party team and flagged them away so there names are in grey, gold or purple drop every run, sup vigor and bloodstained insignia but no colossal yet
But just wait the prices should start falling big time!!!!

Just an idea about this...since there are so many conditions and such, why not run a melandrus resilience type of solo build to cope with it, since ull basically regen urself back right?

The screen is from the hardmode, thought it's not max 14-21

I am trying the W/Rit build to farm the initial cutthroats in HM but have not had much success. One problem is that they interrupt when you are casting VwK.
Edit: I was able to do it one and died twice. But no good drops yet. Gonna try with full team now.

I think the best build for farming moddok is with your 55hp Monk as with second a dervish--> for mystic rrgen...

I only have a Warrior Char at the moment.
The main problem is that they throw those traps.

well i tried doing this as a mo/d with prot spirit,mystic regen, soj, heal breeze, shielding hands, essence bond, bal spirit and blessesd aura and it doesnt seem to work, they always have enough degen to kill you. I have tried switching out shielding hands for zealots fire and it doesnt make a difference. You just cant counter the degen..

Well I personally farm Moddok with a dead sword farming build. I can do it and still kill Dunkoro at the beginning after the speech starts.

A W/RT can easily do this, just use bonetti's or shield stance of a cover b4 u use vengeful
add in cyclone axe for a nice way to get adrenline.
I'm sure a Rt/me could easily do this too.
But since hardmode came out there has been a HUGE increase of colossal drops... req 11 are going for about 100k+65e where as a week ago they were going for 100k+90e
its funny I love it

Funny to YOU maybe. I actually found out that zhelon reach had lots of colossal drops in normal mode. Im guessing that there is lots of them in hard mode too. I bet not many people hav tried it .

I've been trying Istan hard Mode aswell, I have some nice drops
Too bad for me A while ago I found a collosal scimitar and Did not know there worth and since I always Merch everything T_T.
And so I stay poor....
ya but IStan would probably have good drops seeing as Low Lvl Monsters do not drop alot of loot (eg. Pre-searing Dye Farming) and Hardmode Increasing the Quality ( so max/near max swords possible).....heh

My views on scimitar farming:
Doing Moddok atm, Farming with a Stygian trapper. Had great drops at awesome farm-times (1.5-2 minutes per run).
Simply place your traps in front of the captain, deny his help, kill (takes 5 sec max), repeat.
(btw, to save (thinking)time, I let donkuro take the spirits and take spike/tripw/flame trap myself)
critique!

Probably because ecto prices have gone up to about 11k each.

Did maybe 3-4 full runs earlier in the little time i had with a W/Rt, no colored drops whatsoever, all white, bullion coins or whatever, stolen goods, nothing worthwhile. Anyone else? I hear lots of runes etc, im killing the first 6 in moddok hard mode, any ideas?
nghwee
You do realise that if u accept the corsair guy's help, walk a bit further, another 18 corsair rangers spawn to attack u, along with those 6....... right?
Gredinus
yeah but can you kill them?
Kas
With the ele build I posted in the other thread, you can kill the corsairs in Crevice. Works for every other position that does not have monks as well.
Energy Boon [E]
Sliver Armor
Armor of Earth
Aftershock
Kinetic Armor
Stoneflesh Aura
Mystic Regeneration
Earth Attunement
Template Code: OgpjkwM5aOFNXBPsUYK+qs3UBA
The reason for Earth Prayers at 9 instead of 8 is that the corsairs spam weakness on you, effectively lowering your attributes by 1. And if you would be at your breakpoint, it would really break you because your regeneration would suddenly be a lot less.
Keep in mind that it is still work in progress but once you get it down it's fast enough. If your emangement is very good you can take Sandstorm instead of Boon but keep in mind the amount of enchantments you have to manage. The run is easy enough: Go in, flag Dunkoro away and accept the captains offer. Halfway you start casting your enchantments and from that moment on keep them up at every time possible (spam mystic regen if you must).
The captain has interrupts so you need to kill him first. Be aware that once combat starts he'll throw his net and then immediately follows with disrupting throw. So wait for that to happen and then cast Sliver Armor. For some reason sliver armor allways targets the captain first and thus he is done for. Next step is to lure the melees away, they inflict cripple and weakness.
After you've killed the melees all you have to do is head backwards a bit so the rangers ball up and then sit down in their midst, spamming sliver armor and aftershock.
Oh well, tap energy boon whenever you need some quick energy and try to avoid the Mandragors which can easily own you with their armor ignoring damage and interrupts.
/edit:
Yes it's rune country. They drop lots and lots of rare runes as well as radiant runes.

Ya, I remember u posting that build in the other thread Kas. I just had one question on it that I didnt get to ask in the other thread. Why don't you use Mind Blast instead of energy boon? Great for energy, and because of the two second recharge it will keep your kinetic armor up while also doing damage.
kess
This is the build that I use to solo all 16 corsairs Rt/me
16 Restoration
12 inspiration
Arcane echo
VWK
Vengeful weapon
Mend body and soul
Wielder's boon
Resilient weapon
Channeling
Physical resistance.
Cast RW when your third vwk running out, and get the bonus on WB.
I use a +5e +30hp sword and -5(20%) +30hp shield. (a +45 enc shield might be better)
Unfortunately for me no colossal for me yet but got 2 sup vigors.
