JadeBrotherHood Farming...Is it Possible..?

Hello,

I just made a 55 monk solely to farm...I needed money =p

I heard theres a really good farming spot outside of "The Marketplace" in Cantha...

a 55 monk with SS and Suffering works well against the Jade Brotherhood Knights just outside the marketplace...

However, theres a really "Massive" group of JadeBrotherHoods in the east island next to "The Marketplace"

Is it possible to farm that spot...?

The mesmers always interrupts and the ritualist always heals...!

Can someone plz post the build if possible

yeah, it's perfectly farm-able with a 130 hp derv, so I imagine a 55monk should be able to do it..

The memser uses expel hexes. So SS + Suffering might not be enough to kill it.

There's about 95 Jade Brotherhood that can easily be farmed with you as a Spirit Bonder and a hero as a Smite Bonder. You still get plenty of golds, the chance of Ele and Monk elite tomes and a few greens.

If you're a monk go Mo/Me and take Mantra of Resolve to combat the Mesmer interrupts. I also pack Empathy and Backfire to take out the Rits.

55 hp, Hard Mode

PS, SOA, Shielding Hands, SOJ, arcane echo, mantra of ??? (the one that keep you from being interrupted), blessed aura, essence bond, balthazar spirit.

Kill all except bosses and ritualists, so just run away when all the others are killed. Avoid to aggro the Monk boss cause you can't outdamage him.

(I wish I knew how to make those little skills boxes on this)

Echo shield, just two times should do it. You can kill everything.

Edit:
Thanks olly, put them all in skills :O

ripskin its [*skill]Essence Bond[*/skill] but with out the * and the word must be spelt right so [skill]Essence Bond[/skill]

Oh sweet, thanks.

First I assume you mean in Wajjun Bazaar outside of the Marketplace, if not then ignore what I'm about to write. I use a 55 mo/d to farm them all the time.

The mesmers still get a good interrupt in there from time to time and I die, but over all I can take nearly everything including the Elementalist boss (Lian, Dragon's Petal) also. The Ritualists are more difficult though Reversal of Damage (and possibly some wanding with a smiting wand thrown in there too) usually takes care of them. If there is only one Rit left I normally move on to the next group and hope they die with them as energy gets to be an issue. Also, make sure you try and trick the mesmers into casting their interrupts on other stuff before casting any of your must cast spells, if you just have one or two mesmers to deal with it is fairly easy, the more there are the more skill it takes to do. Generally speaking I would place this in the "intermediate" category as you due to the mesmers.

For me it seems to be more profitable just to kill the handful of Knights outside of the Marketplace though that is MUCH more boring (and hence I normally go kill more of them).

I've fiddled around with a 55 necro and can usually do it quite a bit faster, but it takes more concentration and, due to longer casting times, I tend to have many more issues with those pesky mesmers (thus I normally just do it with my monk), I haven't tried it with my 130hp dervish but I do not see why it wouldn't work. Though if you are killing the first 6 Knights a 55 necro is SIGNIFICANTLY faster.

this is what i use can take several groups on at a time.....and pull the creeps to a corner or a tight spot so they dont scatter

arcane echo / soj / mantra of resolve / soa / prot spirit / essence / blessed aura / balthz spirit
alternate skills for blessed aura:
shielding hands / healing breeze / mending / any smite skill that does damage in some way
