This is a very nice HM run. I may be wrong, but it seems like I'm getting a drop much more often than 1/8 - even better than 1/4. My luck with gold drops hasn't been so hot. Probably ran it 6 times and got one gold drop - a nearly perfect req 9 dead sword.

I did get a lockpick drop which I've used twice already and it hasn't broken - although only purples.

Recommended, but not exactly raining golds. Also, I recommend you take extra salvage kits. My inventory keeps filling up before I'm halfway thru the undead.

Dervish/Monk also works for this. I use a fairly standard 130 hp build with a zealous scythe of enchanting.

Mystic Sweep
Eremites Attack
Reapers Sweep (E)
Mystic Regeneration
Mystic Vigor
Protective Spirit
Balthazars Spirit
Essence Bond

Cant remember attributes right now, but i know i use at least 13 earth prayers and 12 scythe mastery. Rest goes to mysticism and protection.

Works well as long as you dont aggro more than 3 foes at a time. You can kill the scale mobs on the way, except for the big one. Bosses take some time to kill though.

Same here, the only 'big' drop I got in ages was a Q10 gothic sword +5e, I try farming different places and such but nothing works. My heart fills with joy as a gold dead sword req 9 drops, but fills with sadness as I see it cant be inscripted/has no dmg mod...
Maybe its because lots of people are farming and the areas are all out of loot?

I have gotten quite a few good things the best of which being a Req.9 Gold Sephis but drops do deteriorate if you repeat a run. I started doing this about a month ago and i went on runs repeatedly for 4 days. I started to get crap so i got anotehr farming spot, though last night i repeated the run for fun and got 2 golds which were merch bait and a total of 4k in drops.

I've got about 5-6 Dead Swords, tons of tomes, 1 req12 sephis, other crap golds and tons of purples...... I feel this run is worth it

But I don't see how this can be better than farming the king quest.... Afterall, the spirits in question are right near the entrance... so you can just port out and in each time to reset... Surely that is far more efficient than going through all this every time... What is the "king quest"? Sorry I am new and searching for "king quest" turned up nothing.

Thanks.

Thanks. I believe he's referring to 'Destroy The Ungrateful Slaves' the old place people got dead swords.
