I mostly get gold runes, but I've gotten rare platinum sickles dropped from the assassins, and I think some other non-rune items as well.

Didn't realize that Essense bond wasn't triggering. I know that I never have energy problems so I assumed it was doing it's job. I'll look to add another curses skill to the bar to swap it out...

Looks like Suffering might be a good choice, or maybe Mark of Pain them on the mini-staircases?

@Garett

How about Reckless Haste? Yes, it's 15 nrg, but a monk can spare that, plus SS will kill a lot faster.

RH only makes them hit less, the attackspeed in HM is already 133-150%, which is the maximum.

I got a max gold cleave so far, and a platinum wand in the very first run. But I got SO many gold runes, it's like, at least 2 per run. It's a very nice spot to raise your treasure hunter level, since the path can include up to 4 chests. Anyone managed to get platinum stuff from the assassins?

Thats becuase you dont have the quest.

if you have the quest in the your log, it will make only assassins spawn.

I believe that if you have completed the quests, the mobs of various professions will spawn (necro, ele...intead of assassins). Making it difficult to solo.

....I could be wrong tho.

I think without the quest active, you can still solo the place using echo shadow form sin build for tomb (haven't tried because my sin is far into NF instead of factions).

You can farm it with a mesmer! (for all you mesmer lovers out there).

12 Restoration Magic
10 Channeling Magic
6+1 Inspiration
6+1 Fast Casting

Vengeful was Khanhei
Arcane Echo
Vengeful Weapon
Spirit Rift
Channeling
Physical Resistance
Channeled Strike (for the boss)

At first you'll wonder how you'll survive against all those Iron Palms, but then they just do physical damage which VwK easily soaks up. Might not be as fast as a Mo/N, but mesmers can do it.

This is what i obtained from this farm:

5 Sup Vigor
Tons of Sup Rit,Sin,Ranger Runes
Tons of Normal Sin Tombs
Materials
3 Plat Sword (1 of them is 15>50)
1 Plat Bow
2 Plat Staff (1 of them is 9 Fire)
3 Dragon Staff
2 Shards Daggers
2 Similar to Xue Shao Dagger Skin(Forgotten the name)
Some LockPicks

These are the more valuable drops that i had obtained from farming.

I noticed that after 3 continuous runs, the gold drop rate is decrease hugely. Maybe it is luck? I recommend that you rest 10mins in between every 2-3 farms just in case.

The chests that spawn near the oni are 90% oni shroud. The better chests are those that spawn at the boss area or just outside the boss area. Less chance of getting amour from those chests. (Came to this conclusion after opening 400++ HM chests there. Maybe it is just luck)

If you hide off to the right side after you kill Senkai, the large groups will run past and you can pull Womack as he pauses near the entrance of the temple and kill him as well.

You are a truly great human being for sharing this info.

This is grinding at its finest but worth every second of it.

Thanks again onerabbit, i am going to ow my set of FoW armor to you :P

You just can't get past onis so the worst possible even is you just going out to die. Last time I checked if you get out to at least the onis you get res'd right next to the farm area.

Haven't had any good drops from the Sins yet.

But decent gold, and a Jade Staff from a chest.

To get past the oni, remember their spawn point and before entering that spawn point, throw up PS. Spawn point is the white line in the river. Once you stepped on it, they will spawn.

There is another way through. Go to the extreme right hand side and run through there. *Near the Ssaki Area* The oni will not spawn there. But it will take 20 more seconds.

Normally, i just die where the oni spawn as it is faster *Just need to recast the enchantments* and 1 group of mobs will make your DP healthy again.

Try out my Rt/Mo Build, 2nd build on post for farming Luxon Assassins. Can kill a small group in less than 10 seconds... works nicely. Same one I used in video for farming insects.
