Tried Moddok Crevice HD (accept the captain's help) with 55 Mo/D today and it works very well and very easy too.. Gold armors and weapons drop (all non-max) but no colossal yet.

Great for energy, and because of the two second recharge it will keep your kinetic armor up while also doing damage. The problem with Mind Blast is that it is in the Fire Line (min 7 in Fire to break even, 9 to have a very slight gain)Plus it is highly dependent on having more energy than your enemy. The build is allready specced into 3 Attribute Lines with 9 in Earthprayers being a must. Earth Prayers have to stay at 9 due to mystic regen (unless I later on scratch the base and try something completely different). I could lower Earthmagic but the lower it becomes the more energy intensive it will be to keep the enchantments up. So last option would be Energy Storage. Lower Energy is normally not a problem, after all e-management > lots of energy but in this case where Mind Blast requires you to have more energy than the enemy it becomes a problem.

Thanks for the suggestion though, i'm still working on it so every hint is welcome. Currently i'm trying to test how low I can go with the enchantments before the build crumbles and if some of the Dervish Enchantments can make a dent.

Yes I always decline and just kill the warriors, but when I used to do normal i would go kill all of the rangers.... though they never dropped any scimitars so I just forget them now.



Got this last night in about an hour of farming max dmg and gold.... this was an awesome sign cause now I actually believe that colossals will drop here.

now excuse me I have to cancel my bids on that perfect tattooed scimitar X_X

i was just thinking about whether to share this info, but might aswell since i kinda gave it away in another thread and i finally got what i wanted. basically i was right about my new farm spot which is right outside The Astralarium. there is a group of corsairs there which are easier to kill than those in moddok and you usually get a gold drop a run. ive gotten a few rares from it myself like tribal shield and istani shield, and usually get a few of the different scimitar types.

anyway i shared my build with guildies YESTERDAY (and on the other thread), and today 1 guildie got a max req9 colossal this guildie isn't even experienced at farming but was doing it for the gold drops. however she doesn't know exactly which corsair dropped it (she was gonna merch it at first, nuff said). i ended up buying it off her cheaper so im very happy today



you can always alternate moddok and astralarium, since both runs are quick. here's the monk build i use again which works in both places:

soj, soa, ps, mystic regeneration, mending, watchful spirit, blessed aura, balths spirit
15 smiting, 11 prot, 13 divine fav, 5 healing, 4 earth

all thats left now is to farm my own colossal lol, goodluck all

And here is the screenshot of a Cutthroat dropping one, yes I'm shy :P

But you ripped off a guildie :P shame on you!

And yes I do have a cult of scimitars i guess.... I dunno why but there my favorite swords :P I almost have like every other rare sword skin besides a colossal, so i'm kinda a collector :P

ShadowsRequiem -> i didn't rip off guildie, i also traded a minipet she has wanted for a very long time btw i am also a rare weapons collector, have wanted this one for a long time!

bodyboarder -> its easier for me using my monk build at least because there's no interrupts

kumarshah -> take the west exit from the outpost, when you are outside head south. you will aggro a group of termites and after that there are a bunch of corsairs

So whenever you engage combat, keep an eye on Bohseda (best to target him and cast critical spells right after his throw). Something funny i've noticed:
I switched to monk for a change of pace on farming... interestingly enough the loot downright sucked. Most likely coincidence but during the 30 minutes I was farming I got not a single gold item. Switched back to ele, back in business. Heh.

But my Question is to the People that have gotten Colossal Drops in Moddok is How many Heroes/Henchies were in your party?

I got my Gold tattooed while having 4 heroes, but normally I've just been doing it with me and dunkaroooooo

/edit:
I've got a theory now... since everytime I kill a multitude of enemies at the same time they do not drop anything but if they die one after another, they drop a lot more. Geez i'm starting to be paranoid here :X

Nice I have a friend who's been farming The Astralarium for a while and has gotten 2 so far in about 12hrs.

@>ShadowsRequiem You only need to beat the campaign once for all your chars to access Hard mode they just hv to be lvl 20. So if u hv a monk.

Also if u hv ur attributes set right mystic regen should be able to balance out all of the degen.

Here's the template code we use. Using a +1 head piece in prot due to weakness.

With the monk build is there a large chance of dying?

seems like Zelhon drops a lot more colossals... moddok is giving me nothing today :P

with my build i never die in zehlon but in moddok i die occasionally from interrupts. trick to get over the weakness is just as soa is going to end use ps -> soa as u get a small health boost to counter degen for that 1 sec. energy isn't a problem with this build if u aggro enough.

if theres a grub lance its no problem u just ignore it. u will be crippled so just slowly make your way towards the last group of corsairs while killing a few off on the way. once you are near the last group of corsairs the termites should bugger off
