where did you get your shield? For the colleecors the items take too long to find. I use my heros because i have to. After an hour or 2 i found 1 of the 5 collector items. I was collecting the dredge incisors. If i bought the shield, how much would it be and would people see it?

i found it pretty easy to go out of camp rankor and kill the griffons using hench&heroes.
got 5 frosted griffon wings in about 7 runs.... then afterwards i found out i still had my old -2stance carapace :|

If that fails you can always pick up a decent one for very cheap either in game or on the forums here.
Next time your in town (kamadan /lions arch) just do a wtb and it wont take long before you get some replies (usualy) plus you can even make the gold back in one or two of the underworld runs easily.

the crimson carapace shield requires tactics. I have it too.

Hi, I'm new to farming with a warrior (since griffons XD), I get past the grasps at the start alright, but when I try to run to the smites I get owned by the aatxes on the way.
I tried using physical resistance when running but I still get killed. What I haven't done is use my +7 sword but will that really help?

try waiting for the grasping group in the next room to move far enough away to pass by, and if possible wait for all of the Aatxes to get together so that you can sprint away from them, leaving all of them behind.
if they dont bunch up, physical resistance should be able to keep you alive to get at least halfway to the smites, allowing you to sprint the rest. if you keep running and dont stop, you shouldn't be getting hit (not that much anyway).

I have never even been to UW and usually only farm easy spots like first city with 55 monk, fastfoot with necro, mino's out of ice tooth w/me in normal for event items or 55 nec in HM for tomes and gold..should I even attempt this? I see lots of ppl posting problems with the "run" to the smites or whatever they are. On most farms I have tried the running past stuff is where I die and never can get it for some reason..only way I have been able to do them is take hero's and flag them somewhere so that they aggro the monsters and then i run by leaving my heros to die, would that work here? I know most are thinking just go try it but it would take a lot of cash to get my stuff set up as needed and pay 1k per run and find out 40k later I suck too bad to do it
Chocolate_Prayers
only way is to try it once or twice and see if you think you can do it. maybe get somebody to give you a demo run of it to show you what it's like (if the video isnt enough)

Just curious didn't want to get my hopes up....i can't watch youtube from work so will have to wait till i get home. I do have a new suit of armor though that has no runes/insig's on it so at least that part is covered and I can prolly steal most of the armor mods from my heros...I am so broke it ain't even funny like 150k 9 ecto 30 diamonds and that is it. Wish they would revert that effing loot scale already!!

my only problem is running through the aatxes to the smites. i wait till the last possible time to use enraging but it still runs out and i either barely escape or i die.. other than that its really fast.

none ^^ , i dont like the fow sets (except necro and monk) (excuses for not having it) but yeah, i like my 15k sets, i'll stick with those, i also dont grind farm, I joy farm (it does exsist), and i get bored too easy, so i just post the builds and let others get rich on them ^^
Keithark
I got a set of Asura armor when EO:TN first came out and didn't like it after I got it so going to try to set it up for this farm and give it a try...too bad I sold all those UW scrolls I got from Fastfoot farming I may have 5 or 6 left though. I am also not far from another title on my warrrior so I can work on that until we get favor...1 more and PKM!!

i havent had any troubles with the run to the smites so far...
after clearing out all of the graspings, i usually wait on the stairs and observe the aatxe and grasping patrols in the next room.
when the grasping group gets to where it is on the screenshot, and starts to move away i run towards the aatxes in the chamber, when they start to move towards me i hit sprint and run past them all the way through to the mouth of the next room
i dont stop to wait, or else the grasping patrol will catch up to me.
i make my way towards the smites, and when the 2 aatxes in the chamber get close to me, i throw up physical resistance. this usually keeps me relatively safe until sprint recharges
when the other 2 aatxes come into range, i generally circle around them so that they're all behind me when heading towards the stairs. then i hit sprint and leave them all behind.
if all goes well, the aatxes should break aggro and continue patrolling.
the most important part is to be calm about it. if you start getting nervous or try to cut anymore corners, you're more likely to get stuck and/or mess up.
if something does happen to go wrong, you can try to sprint back into the starting chamber and hide behind the ghosts and try again.
oh and also, i prefer sprint to enraging charge. i manage without those extra strikes of adrenaline, and that extra second of having a speed boost makes the runs a bit easier too.
happy hunting.

i have no idea about you guys, but i spent over 50k in uw entrance fee's, completed all but like 3(cuz of lag) and i hve only 2 ecto to show for this.. both of which dropped in the same run... of ourse i got like 13 uw scrolls, and a few craptastic gold and purple items...so.. is there any reason why im not getting any drops? am i killing them too fast? slow? or is it just anet hating me cuz my main class is a paragon...
Chocolate_Prayers
hmm i have to agree somehow, in the past 5 or so runs, i havent gotten ANY drops from smites... wierd. and i dont even farm that often. maybe like 2 runs and then i log out for the rest of the day.
Oblivious Moose
well, my farming experiance was in small bursts, a few here and there, never more than 5 in one day. been doing this for about 2 weeks.
my conclusion, i have the worst luck possible in gw. havnt had one persom come even close to my horrible luck..yet...

thanks chocolate prayers for that explanation. i am still working on pulling all the graspings into 1 mob without the aatxes. i though i had it cause i did it twice. then, for some reason, the aatxes kept following me so i die.. i wish there was no entrance fee...

can you elaborate on this please? im not ahuge farmer, so when i do it, its in small bursts, then i continue on to do other things, like missions, vanquishing ect.. then maybe go back to it later that day, or the next. depends on my mood.
but if its like try farming something i do gave good lkuck with, there is none.. ive tried em all, never got anything good from any of them.. i tried ele sword farming with e/a for 2 months, doin 2-5 runs per day, with other things inbetween. never got one.. even from the chest drops.
tried chest running, spent over 30k on keys/picks, and i got like 20+ purple items, and the rest were craptastic golds, lame skins, crap mods, got a dragonsbreth wand, r13, hsr 7%.. thats the best ive gotten from that experiance.
ive tried gren farming. did over 80 runs killing the queen in the crystal desert, only got one..(monk prot staff) on the last run.. with absolutely no golds from that experiance...
also attempted sup rune farming, outside ofbergen hot springs. that was a big hoax, besxt thing i got from that was a sup absorption rune.
oh, i forgot the tome farm, did over 400 hm boss farms for elite tomes.. mainly byzzar, for an elite monk tome. got a few dozen of his craptacular green offhands, some uw/fow scrolls, and merch food.. never once got an elite tome..
maybe im just not persistent enough, or my luck is just that. gw hates me, and ill have to come to terms with this and complain to anet..they have all the records, maybe they can give me some sorta consulation prize for trying...

hmmmm, well i'll try some tips:
ID all max dmg or close to max dmg items regardless of colours
salvage any perfect mods, even +7 vs physical mods, and just keep hold of them, and then check back and forth to major citys, and look at trade party search for any "WTB's"
When farming dont overwork a place, spend 1 or 2 hours tops as you'll get bored out of your mind and mabye the "secret" farming code still exists, hence why people complain on threads about drops getting worse the harder they try.
Circle your crops by just doing something else, farm somewhere else, play pve or pvp somewhere else.
Im not a huge farmer either, i just post alot, theres threads in the farming section like:

or

It might have been asked before.
But I don't see the need for Sun and Moon Slash
Can you explain about it?

well with the hundred blades build you got only 2 aoe attacks, so to crank up the adrenaline/energy gain, i figured, why not take sun and moon slash.
the sword build is best for small groups.

Did they Nerf this or something? Ive spent 30k in donations... gotten 3 ectos...
Theres ALWAYS something that goes wrong, mainly bad spawns that result in something like rubber banding... you'll be lucky if you get a manageable spawn, and if you get lucky with one, you'll probably make a 15 min run. Its a waste of time, unless you have insane luck.
Not to mention if you do make a run, you rarely get an ecto.

hmmm its still ok for me, sometimes get bad drops but still on average 1 a run, somtimes 2. Rubberbanding realy sucks, i hate it so bad, but it just sometimes happens, my average run time is 11min if i were to compare 100 runs, though i get the good 8, 9 or 10 often.

Yea, but I rarely good a spawn good enough to make it through... so far I haven't even broke even with the donation costs.
Ugoff The Unholy
I'm trying out the axe version, first time in the UW in 2 years... sold my old account and took about a 2 year break, so that's why. :P
I was wondering, would it be worth it to sub out cyclone for Illusion of Weakness? It seems like a lot of deaths could be prevented with it. Sacrifice 126-139 hp right away, let your hp pip back full, then go at it. If you go under 25% hp you get that 126-139 back which would MAYBE give you time to try and run for it/give you quite a few more swings. Just a thought, because if I would have had an extra 139 hp I wouldn't have just wasted my first 1,000 trying this build. :P Another thing that might be useful is quickly swapping to a vamp axe of fortitude when your hp dips... a few cyclones/whirlings/triple chops with that could heal you significantly under the right circumstances.
Also, is it MANDATORY to kill the graspings? Even in your video that seem like the hardest work for you. I'm wondering if it's easier to just run past. Bah, I always die trying to pull them. Usually an aataxie won't break aggro or I can never time both pulls together.

ugoff....have you ever done smite farms.....
if you don't kill graspings, you can't get out of the chamber, otherwise noone would kill them, they drop crap.
illusion of weakness is bad for this run, cyclone you need to keep adrenaline up.
vamp axe is possible to use, but only for grasps, and i wouldn't even bother. at the point where you need the health, you are better off using zealous axe and physical resistance.
and when you pull grasps and get the 2nd + 3rd groups, run past the center of the circle a bit, and then back to a bit out of aggro from where you pulled them. its a bit hard to explain, but if you stay in enraging and run almost to the spirits, you can stay away from attaxe every time. then you have to run back almost to the stairs so you don't lose a group of graspings. then age-old combo to kill them off.

As far as bad luck goes...
I am suspecting it may be that people are overfarming the UW again.
When I started I ACTUALLY made 100k+ in one day if I played the whole day.
24e in one day being my record.
Those kinda rates can't stay the same when more and more people start doing it.
Now I don't get ecto at all ha

i noticed the drop decrease as well.
Ershin
I've been farming with this build 3 days all the time. This is the result of run I did a while ago.
No drop decrease for me, usually I get 2 ectos, sometimes 1 or 0. This is also the first time I've got 5 ectos on a run, even when I did the dual UW long time ago (55/necro) we've never got more than 3 ectos from one run. Just lucky, I guess. ^^
Oh, and of course, great build dont feel no pain, IMO it's the best UW solo build for now. Great work!
...and thanks! I've finally got some gold.
