Anyone got a Ranger build for farming these Corsairs? I trapped them easily, but because they all die at once, I get less loot maybe? Did about 30 runs, no gold, gonna try some more.

This is a moddified version of someone ellses , not super fast but super safe, if you want you can swap armor of earth out with another attack spell.

E/D
Earth Magic 16 (sup rune)
Energy Storage 11 (minor rune)
Earth Prayers 8

Stone Daggers
Kinectic Armor
Armor of Earth
Silver Armor
Stone Flesh Aura
Mystic Regeneration
Earth Attune
Ele Attue (E)

Use galigords staff or a staff with + 20% longer enchantments wrapping

I have had tons of gold so far, really good for the wisdom tilte, still no collossal though

My question is what is the build, and do you farm zehlon or moddock. I tried one Ele build posted in this thread, but you can't kill if theres a monk.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you mean the Grub Lance on the way just ignore it and its friends, cast all enchantments before me meet them then run past and engage the corsairs, your silver armor will eventualy kill the insects and the Grub lance does 0 damge to you anyway.

Edit: I farm Zehlon Reach as do most other players here.

Yeah there is the ele build I posted somewhere around here. Simply ditch Aftershock for Glyph of Elemental Power when you're heading for Zehlon Reach. And you can actually kill monks if you get their AI Pattern down.

They first send their melees in and while the melees are still attacking, the monk will kite like the crazy monkey he is. But once the melee fighters are dead, the monk stops kiting and stands still, awaiting his death. The bosuns and medics don't have any healpower anyways. They're moreover specced on smiting.

And the observation I made earlier about the Loot Quantity and Quality highly depending on your killspeed seems to be somewhat true. The ele build is no doubt slower than the Mo/D Build, simply because it kills them one by one. The funny thing though is, over the course of an hour with each build, the one killing them all roughly at the same time wields a lot less loot with a lot less quality than the one killing them one by one.
Often enough when a whole mob dies at the same time they drop 2 or 3 items. When they die one by one they drop a lot more. Maybe there is indeed some mechanism like there is with soul reaping. Who knows, until I know better I stick to the slower Build. Maybe it really is just coincidential luck but i'm not gonna break my luck on purpose

Well we should feel we are farming 1 item for all farm. Thats why I am not one of those cryers. When we get one its like getting 50ecto at once after 100-150 smite runs. The others are just the * Lucy * (lol I fell pain saying that) people who got 50 ecto from first smite. Lets gope this wekkend we all have 1 colossal for sale and 1 to use for our wammo!

I just don't hope this is going to be the new wammo sword.... like deadsword/FDS I've paid to much for it when it got released...Anyway I think I have another q9 faster if I farm in UW instead of zehlon...

FINALLY after many many runs my colossal dropped for me. been doing this right since HM went live and i finally got it. req 12 though but im not bothered as ill use it as a nice caster weapon Also managed to find a gold max req 9 ornate scimitar. Are those worth anything at all? oh and a gold req 9 strength istani shield. Any info on those would be appreciated and for all those who still havnt gotten their colossals yet, just keep at it. its quite rewarding when you finally get it

got my colossal in zehlon, but i switch every 10 runs or so between zehlon and moddok. my istani shield and ornate scimitar both dropped in moddok if youre interested. ive been running an ele with sliver armor and getting a healthy amount of golds did spend a good couple of hours trying moddok with my monk but only managed purples so im going with the kill-1-enemy-at-a-time theory for better loot.

I don't know what the fascination is with a lot of weapons these days.

Colossal Scimitars are nice as far as I'm concerned only because they're big weapons that can be fully dyed.....

I don't see any appeal in dwarven axes, sephis axes, deadbows... tattooed scimitars I personally believe are hideous and would probably merch even a gold one if I saw it.

And heck... if someone offered to trade me a Celestial Sword for a Colossal Scimitar of equal stats that I'd somehow aquired, I'd accept the trade without question. Celestial weapons are where its at for me, skin-wise.... *shrugs* ... well... and the Celestial shield...
Sure they aren't inscribable. I generally don't care. It may be tougher to get 15^50 on them, but I'd settle for 15-stance or 15-enchant...
