Dead sword W/Rt build tanks well but can only take down one Vermin mob at a time.
VWK, Vengeful Weapon, Cyc Axe, Bonetti's, Watch Yourself, Dolyak Sig, Healing Sig and Resilient Weapon (works well to keep the degen down so you have plenty of time to build adrenaline for Bonetti's).

In Hard Mode it works easier to go with a sword.

It's the way i do it.
Only requirement is that you don't aggro too much Vermin at once or you're toast.
This is my build.

It's an easy build - Resilient Weapon, Healing Sig, Watch Yourself and Cyc Axe are optional when tackling one mob at a time. A bit more damage when VWK is down would be handy so maybe Riposte & Deadly Riposte, but then energy might become a problem. Toss in Sprint if you over-agro.

Build works fine, but the drops are crap.

Made 4runs in hard mode, got about 6k, just some vermin hides and crappy non max purples and one chest(crappy modded req10 celestial shield)

Also made 4runs in normal mode with the same build, that made 16,5k. 2greens which i sold for 4k ea and alot of improved sale value drops

I've done a few runs here in Normal (since HM was released) and got vastly reduced drops from the old days, as most of the drops were white/blue anyway. Will try HM later.

Cheers.

[edit] a few more runs and i've added a req9 celestial hammer & bow and a req9 crenellated sword. None perfect yet, but damn close.

Dropped tactics to 0, bumped str to 16 - replaced Heal Sig with I Will Survive and Watch Yourself with Sprint. Dead easy build, very forgiving.

They used to be my favorite farm before the AoE scatter nerf, round up the entire room and bash on the boss with cyclone and triple chop, think of it , i might have to do this just to relive the moments.

I've gotten two max 15>50 celestial sword and bow from this in pre-hardmode days.

It's quite easy to farm with a 55hp build (watch out for the star light's nightmare weapon). I wanted a perfect crennelated sword, I didn't get one, my friend did... Well I got an overload of celestials, but thats it...

I farmed Vermin a couple days ago in hard mode. Its too time consuming and the drops are uber-gay.

Go chest run ftw~

Shield of Devotion with 'Sheltered by Faith' inscription i use same build but i use sever instead of standing slash (that -3 to stop boss's regen) and sun and moon instead of flail (though i think flail is better). vermin are dead easy, and i have to admit that the drops are not very nice. great build, nice exp (plus 50% off HM)

Just use the same build as the UW solo but boost strength and you can farm them just fine, only have some trouble with the boss but other than that it goes pretty fast if you only aggro one group at a time.

I tried 55hp farming them in Hard Mode... and they just heal themselves up before coming back to attack some more. It is completely useless... -_-;

I couldn't even beat one group....

I want those Celestial Weapons so badly... ;_;

Confirmed (by me anyway) that the War/Rit UW Build works fine there. Shreader is a real pain in the butt tho, he's not worth the time it takes to kill him.

I think he's pointing out to their healing skill Heart of Shadow, shadowstep away and the next time youre dealt damage youre healed for probaly around 150 health (so much do they seem to get from it).
Naphui quarter used to have better drops in normal mode anyway, so i you could try a 105 or 85 hp SOj build with Scoure healing.
Haven't tested yet if scourge kills those star lights in hard mode but they always killed emself with it in normal mode

I was wondering how the heck 85 health was supposed to help.
Though now you mention it.... would Scourge Healing mess up Heart of Shadow?

I think Rt/W is faster & safer to farm vermin in Hard mode.

I tested it and works great. Here is my own creation Rt/W tested build.

Restoration - 12+1+3 ( include Head piece)
Tactics - 12
the rest i put on spawning. (doesnt matter)

WEAPON
- sword or axe with Max HSR 10% inscription " Let the memory Live again"
- max furious mod is helpful but not necessary
- sunreach shield or anything tactics with -5(20%), HP+30



SKILLS
Vengeful Was Khanhei (Elite) [VWK]
Resilient Weapon <---{VERY IMPORTANT} [RW]
Soothing Memories [SM]
Mend Body and SOul [MB&S] or Resilient Was Xiko [RwX]
Bonetti's Defense [BD]
Balanced Stance [BS]
Dolyak SIgnet
Healing Signet



ARMOR
I use all Survivor insignia for more health.

APPLICATION

DO alternate Balanced Stance & dolyak signet, make sure keep this up all the time. if both still charging, then use Bonetti's Defense.

When Agro, cast VWK, then BS, then Resilient Weapon. When this up, u will have no worry of insane degen cuz it will have -1 degen only.
the VWk is up, then u can spam [SM] & [MB&S] or if u want to remove condition then use Xiko.

When Balanced Stance is up, cast Dolyak, while spaming [SM] & [MB&S] & healing signet. If u use RwX, then u just spam SM and it cost only 2 EN cuz u gain 3 EN while holding item. (so ENergy will always high)

VWK will soon be recharged and u can do it again the same sequence. If the VWK wasnt fully recharged, dolyak help you to avoid being attack. make sure u cast Balanced stanced or dolyak before u cast VWK to avoid being knockdown & get interrupted.

when its clear u can cast healing signet.

Hope this build help. GL & enjoy


PS: I got couple MAX gold reg9 celestial scepter, shield,daggers ,grinning dragon axe, & alot of cockarice staff, lol
