I would imagine the devs have been watching HA to determine changes for skills for PvP. I'm guessing the Urgoz farm should be safe for at least a week or so.

I'm not a farmer. And as a non-farmer, I am very poor and never see good items.

I may try this farm and maybe get a good item. That would be awesome!

At the very least you could do that until you get enough Elite Monk Tomes to kit out a Monk character enough to start farming upon hitting level 20.

I'd consider this route secondary to that at least, since it still manages to be more risky and require more monetary input than t'other.

And more expensive to do? 1 scroll require 1k kurzick faction...

So far this run is great for me, lot of Zodiac Shield, sword, bow. Working on it with my indomitable survivor paragon, soon ill be R3 Legendary with 504exp per foes with a scroll :P

awesome farm and super quick too. never really been to urgoz only once when it was free entry so didn't think about farming here before. 1st time i tried this i went forward to see how far i go before triggering popups without putting up spirits. i ran back and my pet got killed and req11 zodiac daggers dropped but i died before i could pick them up lmao. btw 4 spirits is enough for me to kill all those vamps, saves a lot of time if ur gonna be doing this a lot

I found out that if you dont hit them or do some kind of damage to them you wont get exp or drops sometimes.... so i put together a better build. I will be posting it, you 100% exp and all drops, and no chance of dying. also will make a video soon as i can....i recommend checkin out the build i will be posting. its similar, by using spirits....but alot better for drops and exp.

And I'm paranoid. I freak out around those vampires.

And for the record.... skills aside.
Urgoz Farm cost = 1k Kurzick Faction.
Byzzr Wingmender Farm cost = Nothing.
Urgoz Farm risk = Potential death.
Byzzr Wingmender Farm risk = None at all.




[Edit]:

After countless times farming these guys and getting nothing.... I came across someone else in the waiting area asking if anyone would show him how it was done...

... So I let him team up with me so I could give him a direct demonstration..... and of all the crazy things he and I BOTH got golds from the same run (He got a Zodiac Longbow and I got a Dragoncrest Axe)... He was quite impressed at the results, needless to say (especially since he got a gold for doing nothing at all).

Divine Intervention and Judge's Intervention only trigger on damage. The Suicide Health skill causes health loss, which is not considered damage. Unless the skill description for Suicide Health is incorrect, those two monk skills are useless here.

This is very easy, I'm a W/Rt and I have 5 rituals, and two of which attack, lol. It's easy as pie. The loot ain't so good though, IMO... there just doesn't drop that much. Maybe I'm expecting too much each time? I don't know.

I have an idea. Do those dredge down there aggro independantly? Add a rit/r splinter barrage ranger with a spirit ranger, do the pop ups then have the splinter barrage the dredge, gardeners only use life bond I believe so splinter should go through it anyway. I think it could add maybe what a minute or so to the run but who knows what kind of golds you can get from them too.

Dude... SCREEN STRETCH!

>_<;

That said and out of the way though.... fortune has turned my way.
I have got the hang of doing this well enough that, lag forgiving, I can manage to pull off one run per minute... which theoretically means 60 per hour...
.... AND.... I now have an absolute slew of golds! ^_^ ... I sold off a few crap straw effigies (get them a lot), one Cesta and a totally useless Zodiac Shield (+9 Armour against plants).... but I now have in storage a lovely selection of Zodiac Axes, Dragoncrest Axes, one Gavel of the Nephilim, one Exalted Aegis, one Zodiac Sword, one pair of Req 9, 15^50 Vampiric Zodiac Daggers and a pair of Vertebreakers, one of which is Req 9 15%stance .....
.... and the other has the most scary mod I've ever seen (and I didn't know it existed): 15% Damage -1 Energy Regen... o_0; ... I'm sure a pure adrenaline warrior could use it effectively though.

And I'm done for the night.
Up again tomorrow morning for more farming! =D

u can do with warrior/r; build i use: 6 ranger spirits, nothing more needed, maybe sprint;
ok start and put 3 spirits in front of u, one next to other, then walk until the weakness come; put the other 3 spirits in a line;
walk to mobs, then vampires comes to u; run to the middle between the spirits; wait for the loot

is something like this (O is a spirit, and x are u, ):

Just so I understand the scrolls. If I use a scroll then I will enter the mission, farm it, and then return to HoH. Then I would need to use another scroll to do it again.

If I got a farry over to the owned part of the town then I could enter the mission over and over without the use of a scroll.

Is this correct or would I still need scrolls even if I were farried over?

Thanks,

Krat

*** Edit ***
Didn't see a need for a new post.

Anyway Thanks a bunch Bourbon for your reply.

Once you are to Urgoz/Deep outpost, you are there till you willingly leave. Resign/death/completion/dc returns you to Urgoz/Deep outpost. Mapping to HzH/Cavalon/X takes you away from Urgoz/Deep outpost.

Wilderness Survival: 12
Beast Mastery: 12
Rest: Wherever

That is my precise set-up.
You can sub in just about anything you like for Dash if you prefer.... and if you'd rather switch the spirits for other ones (preferably with maximum duration and minimum cost)... go ahead.

And despite only having 5 spirits... I find having a pet makes matters much easier... and since there are only 4 Hopping Vampires anyway, having the pet and extra spirit are just insurance (my pet usually survives with my particular tactics).



This morning. I played for 45 minutes and got 10 Golds and 4 Necro tomes (as well as a full inventory and plenty of vampire fangs for collector weapons later). Merched 3 of the golds for being completely worthless, put 7 in Xunlai for later transfer over to my gold-storage char...

... I'm thinking I might possibly be overfarming the area, or at least keeping too many of the gold weapons though.... My gold-storing character's inventory is half-full of Urgoz golds already... most of which I swear I'm never going to use.
I suppose I'll hafta sell some..... somehow...
...... And I still haven't had a single Zodiac Hammer yet.... nor Zodiac Staff... Had one Zodiac Wand this morning and it was one of the things I merched for being useless. All the caster items so far have been Necro-based.... every single one. Makes me figure if I got a staff it'd be Necro as well.

One of my best drops ever:



Daggers was req. 11 and +5e. Not bad.
Shield was req. 9 Strength, and -3 while hexed
Sword was req. 12 and +14/-5e. Not bad...

Thanx SotiCoto, it's just a little easier if I see the whole picture.

What worries me is anet hasn't done a number on popular farming spots like they did to the Griffons, ya know.

Too many dead bodies... queen of the scarabs, blah blah blah. Might see one this time. LOL

Farm is alright, but the incom is not high enough anymore imo... zodiac stuff is not what it used to be.
