Solo 55 Glacial Gemstone Farming

mkay, this farm is a quick easy (usually taking just about an hour to accumulate the 35 needed for gauntlets) it's a 55 build meant to farm the Spectral vaettirs in jaga moraine near the portal to bjora marches, the greatest thing about this farm is this: once you run to your farm destination you can simply clear out the vaettirs portal into bjora marches then return to jaga moraine and run it all over again.

the run: simply leave out of sifhalla and follow the map i have provided to the farm spot (also marked on the map) very important: don't run to the farm area in your 55 suit, bring your pimp suit too, or you'll die when it comes to running past the wisps.

the farm: simply apply all of your bonds and maintain prot and mystic regen, reapplying soj whenever it recharges, you can pull just about all the vaettirs out there if you are ballsy enough, (this can get risky when you loose soj as they start to hit faster and you loose the regen for that enchantment provided by mystic) continue to use holy strike and somw to take out targets as they have ether feast and will heal for days if you do not supplement the dmg provided by soj.

don't panic: you get too ballsy and pull too much no worries, theres a shrine right there, simply take off your -50 cesta and go at it again, this actually makes it easier as the regen is the same no matter your hp situation and helps supplement for the dmg taken easier and faster as it is in smaller incriments.

the loot: ENJOY it's alot better than spending the current going price of 85k fora set of 35 stones; you can pm me if you have any questions ign: jonah fierce......i have the right to not respond if i find you to be billigerent or rude, please don't blow up on me, i'm simply here to help, thx.

A good run:

sorry for the mess up on title i meant to say "solo 55 glacial stone farming, instead i got gemstones, meh"

btw: theres a build floating around that i was giving out in sifhalla d1 today, but i had a attribute point mess up, it had 5 in wind prayers from when i was running harriers haste for the run, i have recently removed harriers haste from the build and applied the additional points to smiting prayers to raise it to a lvl 15 in smiting

really nice showing =)

Although it's a nice build & great find, I'm a bit bothered by the fact that it takes a lot of time per Spectral to kill..

I messed around a little bit and came up with this;
OwQUc4G+Q4N1DQyddlkHAIyD9BA

Prot Spirit, Healing Breeze, Shield of Absoprtion, Shielding Hands, Spiteful Spirit, Blessed Aura, Balt. Aura, Essence Bond

It makes them drop like flies, you don't have to bother with taking them down one by one with Holy Strike & Mystic Wrath, as you can get SS on like 2-3 Spectrals before they die.

However ... the big problem I've had is energy management, with H.B lasting about half as long as Mystic Regen, and having to use SoA & Shield. Hands. quite often, energy is hard to maintain.
Maybe replace shielding hands by Blessed Signet, you should still be able to stay alive while SoA is down..
*Goes to try*

Why don't you go Mo/N with SV and Life Siphon to counter the degen? Way faster than SS...

Nice build, yeah the price is rediculious of the germstone, just farm it yourself take 1hours

So alot of people have been looking at my build and requesting that i try and throw something together for the dervish, i'm going to be doing that today, so those at lack of a 55 monk, do not fret......the build is coming.

mkay, well, i tried many different builds for my dervish only to find that the most sucessful build i can run out there as a dervish is the fow farming build D/Mo OgOjkurI7OtXoLzlAze/uyjDMA it goes quite a bit faster than the monk version...but one slip of the key and your toast, so don't forget to constatnly reapply vow and your other enchants.

My friend and I did a 3 man pretty quick (IMO). I ran a sin with deadly paradox and Beguiling Haze and Dunkoro. I simply dazed him constantly while my friend burned him to death. Not sure on the time of your run but we cleared area in less than 10 mins. The only downside is 50/50 stones and the hero taking your drops .

very nice, i like nothing better than to see what other peoples do, thats where i get my inspiration, and the 55 does it in like 5mins-ish, faster as you get better.

alas...gwen preview is complete until the 31st, as soon as that hits i'll be posting more guides on how to farm the new sets of gloves as i encounter them once the full version goes live


cheers,

joe

well good ideas with them. don't want to start another topic so i'll ad my 1$ here.
since i didn't want to move my monk to eotn (ranger is my main char) neither i wanted to do so with my ele, and still in need of these gloves i decided to give it a go with toucher.

OgQTQ4LjnpGyJ8NpGWpko4IcAA <- build. +20staff,
works like charm.
you can tank up to 4 spectrals at the same time. Tho clearing them all takes a while (5-8 minutes that's slower than a slowpoke), it's steady, no energy probs (use OoB when at around 20 energy, maybe earlier even).

took me around 40 mins to get 35 glacial stones that i find quite good score.
nice find with 55.
