"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Firstly, i'm sorry if this thread violates any rules. As far as I can see, it doesn't but I do apologize if it's not allowed. Secondly, sorry for the bad pun.

Anyway, I decided to mass farm some Charr in Hard Mode and found that they are overly generous with rares (particularly shields, swords and axes). Here is a drop in the ocean of what I found:

I'm reserving my special spot for the time being, but otherwise, happy farming.

... what would I have to do for you to tell me where this takes place? Because I could really use some rares (curse you wisdome title!!!) But, yeah, I think its Nolani Academy, buuuut... I'm not sure. Please tell us, or if not us, just me.

I got a coookieee (waves cookie tauntingly in the air).

Just essence bond Rurik and let him tank the elementals, They only hit him for 10-15ish which is easily negated with shielding hands or SoA. You can clear out the first and final groups of charr yourself. (Just watch for Meteor showers, charr chaots, degen from Red Eye the Unholy, and Blaze Bloodbane who will happily heal-area himself for 20 minutes.)

Charr-itable Charr.

Most of the gold items are merchant fodder though.

I like how you edited the part of the pic where it said "You have been playing for x hours. Please take a break". Was it embarassing?

The fact he has a load of scrolls shows he was farming bosses.

To my knowledge, there arent many in Nolani.

My guess is you did the Fort Ranik mission through, possibly on an Ele since theres an Ele in a SS, then took a SS once you arrived AT Nolani Academy which is where the end of Fort Ranik takes you.

Just a guess.

Probably E/D with stoneflesh aura, sandstorm, mystic regen, fleeting stability or something along those lines. They don't have any enchantment strips until you meet a charr chaot (Gets ugly). Just test around.

55 hp monk works, with SoA and shielding hands. It's slow, but if u arcane echo ure SoJ, it's a bit faster.

10+3+1 Divine (Headgear swap)

Blessed aura + SoA = no need for shielding hands

Ok, I've had my fun teasing

Here's the build I use: OgdTkY285RnxDzGpZcXswY0KAA

16 Earth, 12 Shadow Arts, 4 Energy Storage.

It's fairly simple but timing can be awkward.

Start the Nolani Academy mission and run to the lever. The Charr, including a boss, will begin running towards the portcullis so cast Glyph of Elemental Power, Shadow Form then use Death's Charge to get to the boss.

When you're beside the boss, cast Sliver Armor, Ward Against Foes then Grasping Earth to prevent them running to away. 75%+ of the time the boss will die so ou can re-cast Sliver and Shadow Form then rinse, lather and repeat.

Dying is inevitible and don't expect to kill everyhting. Just keep going in the mission over and over and enjoy the golds, max Tribal Axes and Sickles.

Warning: Nerf Imminent

Feast on this for 2 mins work:
