[HM] Fahranur the first city mo 55 farm

Ok I have been farming here for a while now.. You can get some nice skinned weapons here such as Ancient Shields, Sephis Axes, Dead Swords, Dead Bows and there is 2 bosses along the way (Warrior + Dervish) their greens suck but you have a chance for elite tomes and normal tomes and you can pretty much guarantee a gold on every run although I've had a couple of runs with no golds

Ok heres the skills...

Mo/Any

Divine Favor: 9+3
Healing Prayers: 6+3
Smiting Prayers: 12+1+3
Protection Prayers: 7+3

[skill]protective spirit[/skill][skill]shielding hands[/skill][skill]healing breeze[/skill][skill]spear of light[/skill][skill]shield of judgment[/skill][skill]blessed signet[/skill][skill]blessed aura[/skill][skill]Balthazar's spirit[/skill]

now you can use this skill set or for greater healing over healing breeze you can roll as a Mo/D with Mystic Regen and just put all your healing attributes into Earth Prayers or to speed up the run past the skales at the beginning (aren't worth anything really) go as Mo/A with dash or Mo/W with sprint but what I use works fine.

Weapons:
Totem Axe and a -50 Cesta

Usage:

Straight forward 55 Monk build just cast Balthazar's Spirit and Blessed Aura at the start use signet of devotion whenever you need a bit of an energy boost. Prot spirit MUST be on at all times. SoJ is the main dmg source and Spear of Light is just a bit of an extra dmg skill.

Map of the Run:



A) Scales
B) Scales
C) Scales
D) Scales
E) 3 Groups of Undead patrol here (you can take them all at once)
F) 2 Groups of Undead
G) 1 Group of Undead
H) 1 Group of Undead
I) 1 Group of Undead
J) 1 Group of Undead
K) Usually 2 Restless Deads and the Warrior Boss
L) 1 Group of Relentless Corpses (Drop like flies)
M) 1 Group of Undead
N) Starts as 1 Group of Undead but another group patrols over so be careful
O) 1 Group of Relentless Corpses
P) 3 Water Djinns and the dervish boss (you can take the 3 water djinns seperate or with the boss)

run usually takes about 10-20 mins depends on what you do and how fast you kill them drops are pretty decent and in case you didn't know they drop fast because undead take double dmg to holy dmg. Be careful for the big bell things that fall down and just run this like any normal 55 monk build.... really straight forward. Fairly profitable because of the tomes and stuff you can get from bosses and some of the rare skins that drop here.

A pic of one of my half decent runs:



nothing too hard really to look out for just be sure to keep healing breeze up when you have disease or bleeding on you and shielding hands whenever you can or need to.

A video may come later .....

any questions please ask

SHHHHHHHHHH! dont tell them!!!!!!!!
I to have been farming here since HM came out. I use the gernic monk mustic regen 55/105 build. I get about 1-3k a run and most of the time 3-4 golds.

I/m pretty sure there have at least been 2 guides on this farm for 55hp monks...

Nevertheless nice idea but you won't be able to kill everything with that..

i only wasn't able to kill harpy healers with this but you can still vanquish the area with this and some "help from above"

WOW cool...

I been looking for a new 55 spot... TA

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10152804

yeah Marth I really just follow that path that i have up in my first post never really go near the harpies but yeah if you want to take on harpies replace spear of light with scourge healing and follow the path from 'H' until you reach the harpies

On your map you missed the last group..... But I'll let you guys figure out where they are.

Also this is an old spot... and drops have decreased significantly

Just got me a Req9 Dead sword on my first run... MAN i like this spot..

You can still get Dead Swords... but their so damn hard to sell. No one really wants them anymore.

i do Mo/D mystic with SoMW

I love this farm 2 full runs and i got 6 golds which included a +30health sword grip, 2 dead swords, 2gold req 9 sheilds, and some daggers with req 13 but
it had a 15^50 inscription and 20% longer enchants, not to mention about 5k in merched goods.

I like using Mo/D to with 105hp using a staff for energy and recharge times. 55 is useless now with SoA and SH.



Here is my template = Owok4wPJUtijBpecXXJsXXCAReA

SoJ
Protective Spirit
Shield of Absorption
Shielding Hands
Mystic Regeneration
Smite Hex
Blessed Aura
Balthazar's Spirit

Smite Hex does major damage when you are able to use it, and doesnt cause enemies to flee like SoW does. But if u in area without hexes, use SoW for more damage. But usually when dealing with Undead, you get hex'd alot.

Old spot, seen a few posts already about this.

I tried this run yesterday, only went about half way as i had to go out but in that time i got myself a Gold Ancient Shield, a Necro tome and a few purpls/blues etc, made about 2k once id salvaged and sold off all the bumf.

My only problem is with the undead casters, they appear to have infinite energy. They kept spamming me with Deathly Swarm. Very rarely did they use their wands, making SoJ ineffective so i eventually just ran away from them.

Still a decent spot though

thx for sharing, will try asap

This build can easily clear all the undead, bosses, and skales
Monk/ Necro
12 Curses
5+3 healing
14 something in prot
rest in divine favor

Protective spirit
Shield of Absorbtion
Shielding Hands
Spiteful Spirit
Essence Bond
Mending
Balthazar Spirit
Blessed aura

Always kill restless dead first and only have essence bond up when your fighting bosses for energy management, when fighting water djinn boss you can only ss the boss. May take a bit longer but it can easily clear everything. Remember to not attack with weapon because you will get poisoned.

Just did another run got a black dye from a scale, req 11 dead sword, and 2 gold req 9 scythes from the water djinns.

Can you do this run with just the classic M/ME 55 build? [skill]healing breeze[/skill]

Didnt know that there are still people who dont know about this, it's nothing new and has been posted before.

Awesome place. Got 2x req9 Dead Sword in one day, req9 Igneous Blade...

One of my better runs:

Quote:

do you guys give away them noob green swords?

got two req 12 Dead swords for my heros =)

Use Holy Strike, if you hit an undead when they're knocked down it goes for 220 dmg.

does this work with necro 55? i dont have a monk currently

Yeah, I give away the green swords away to low lvl warriors I see .

@ Prince Telemakhos

Yes, I have done a large amount of runs with my 55hp necro. I've seen someone using the SoJ build; - no flame intended - a 55hp necro with SS does the run a whole lot faster . FYI: I got two Dead Swords req9 and one Dead Sword req12, sold one req9 for 10k and gave away the req12 to a guildie .

Edit:
The skills for a necro should be:

Mending
Balthazar's Spirit
Essence Bond
Protective Spirit
Healing Breeze
Spirit Bond (for larger groups and backup, it is applied BEFORE Protective Spirit)
Insidious Parasite (for the Undead casters)
Spiteful Spirit

Btw, somehow the Dervish Water Djinn boss didn't drop anything good yet. Mostly Water Djinn Essences or just 100 GP. Are you guys experiencing the same or is it just me? (The warrior boss drops awesome things like gold swords, Elite Warrior Tome etc.).

Im getting nothing from this..guess Im Unlucky lol

will a 130 derv work?

Ho good farm !!
Can we farm with an ele or rt ? Thanks you very much !

I'm loving this farming area, i've never had a run yet where i haven't had atleast 1 gold drop. One run i even got 3 Gold Dead Swords, 2 at Req 11, one at Req 9, after a few salvages i now have an excellent Dead Sword on my warrior.

I have yet to get the nooby green sword but have had the green scythe dropped a couple times, i just give them away to low lvl Dervish's.

I had a perfect Sephis Axe drop, but in my haste i ended up Merch'ing it

Quote:

So far I'm pretty underwhelmed with this run. Done it 3 times now on hardmode and not a single gold....

hey holz ty for the reply, btw i jsut did this run and the derv boss dropped a nice shield with a perfect -5/20% inscrip. At the djinn group in that same run i got that -5/20% shield, a crappy bronze zcythe, and a lockpick, then i used the lockpick on a nearby chest and got an elite war tome. i like this run just takes a little while.

this is a very good run. I have gotten The green item from the warrior boss but not from the derv boss. I personally use Reversal of Damage when taking out the Undead Spell Casters just my personal preference

how come you dont' have mending in your first build, does it mean you have to keep casting hb?
