simple farm for non-farmers

I do this on my sin, solo ... for fun
this really isnt farming, its fun, and im not doing it to make a profit

Plains of Jarin in HM
Outside Shing Jae in HM (Sunqua Vale)
Mantis outside Ran Musu Gardens HM (can kill the assassin boss too)

Anything you can fight 1 v 1 can be killed with a simple assassin build
most other classes could probably do this too

Unsuspecting Strike
Jagged Strike
Wild Strike
Death Blossom
Moebius Strike
Death's Charge
Shadow Refuge
Way of Perfection

Im thinking about dropping Unsuspecting Strike for Critical Eye, as the
bleeding from jagged will probably do the same damage as unsuspecting
over time, and energy can be problematic, and a critical eye run went
well. Way of Perfection might be able to be dropped too, as I sometimes
forget to keep it active

Zealous Daggers (I use the ch2 endgame ones)
+15 while attacking armor
13 in crit for +3 energy on crit
the rest is ... shadow and dagger ..... whatever

ive done it without zealous daggers, but needed energy armor

the iboga use snare hexes, so I approach with Death's Charge ... not really
for the health, but it comes in handy when you get more foes than you want
in other situations. Fighting one (whatever) and another aggros, Death
Charge to the second one, after the first goes down, even it its in melee
range, just to get a little extra health

The spiders can be taken on in pairs
The Iboga can be taken on in pairs
Juvenile termites can be taken on in pairs
Irontooth Drakes can be killed, paired with a juvenile termite if needed
the Termites are kinda tough but as long as they are alone they are ok
Preying Lance die too just watch out for the deep wound

can't kill the scales or the mandragers
the jacaranda can be killed, you just have to watch out for Lightning Surge
cant kill either of the 3 bosses

use a longbow to pull ... of course

I kill about 120 on the plains
60 outside shing jae and 35 outside the garden...

Mantid Glitterfangs in Sunqua Vale can be problematic but they are killable
it just takes time and energy management, as they almost outheal the
damage you do, but not quite

The Tengu in the mountains in Sunqua Vale can be taken out too
Havn't bothered with the crimson guys yet, but i dont think they will let
themselves get isolated

drops
warrier tomes
ranger tomes
monk tomes
necro tomes
mesmer tomes
few ele tomes
spider webs that salvage into silk 100% of the time (for me that is)
crappy golds, usually no more than 2 golds per run
lock picks
dyes
50g whites (that id to up to 90 or so)
lots of crappy 5g collector items that arent worth the backpack space or the
cost to salvage, they stay where they fell
in total about 5K / hour on the plains
usually 2 tomes per run on the plains
havnt done enough of the runs in ch2 to come up with a K / hour estimate

Like i said ..... its farming but its not really farming, and is actually kinda fun
if you dont do it too often

Use Critical Agility with it.
2 leads aren't necessary anyway.
would use as lead:
[skill]Jagged Strike[/skill][skill]Golden Fox Strike[/skill][skill]Golden Lotus Strike[/skill]
or maybe even as combo: [skill]Disrupting Stab[/skill][skill]Exhausting Assault[/skill][skill]Moebius Strike[/skill][skill]Death Blossom[/skill]

combined with critical agility, deaths charge, way of perfection and critical eye you got yourselve a nice build
