recently ive been farming IDS, and with luck got 1, but now that ive noticed more imps are showing up with extra trolls which is making it nearly impossible to farm-with a dervish
so ive made a counter to this with an ele build my friend gave me...

E/D
earth magic 12+1+3
air magic 4
energy storage 9
earth prayers 8


Skills
storm djinns haste
stoneflesh aura
mystic regen
earth attunment
gylph of swiftness
obsidian flesh
sliver armor
empty-i use crystal wave

template code
OgpkgUJMTuijW9ryeTFSftBPMbA

Note: cast earth attunment,stoneflesh,SDH, and mystic regen in that order while running

and always keep up obsidian while fighting the imps

P.S forgot to say u absolutely need an earth staff enchanting(19-20%) to keep up obby flesh

yeah ive been using a e/me build for them. pretty much the same as the hm glacial stone farm build i am totally in love with, but with stone striker.

I usually have to go up there with a h/h group but flag them far away and school those little imps. I use a full set of geomancers armour so i take 0 dmg form them so no need for any self healing.

Nice! I've been trying the dervish way to farm IDS also but
the trolls always seem to beat me to submission.
So, I'll give this a go for sure. Thanks!

empty-i use crystal wave I would drop Crystal Wave in exchange Fleeting Stability. I understand why you would choose Crystal Wave(to kill them faster), but Fleeting Stability is needed for the Tundra Giant area. It's true that it is not always needed, but I can tell you from personal experience, that the giant have killed me enough time to prevent me from getting to the cave. Sometimes, they spawn right in the middle of that little pathway.

You can take the other route to prevent the giant all together, but I find it much easier to take the Giant route than to face the Avicara on the small bridge where they can trap you much more easily.

Lastly, and off subject, STOP selling the IDS for 12k or less people!!! All that work and you sell them at 12k?!?!?! It's not the easiest run and not every run drop it. Personally, I sell mine for 20k minimum and anyone selling for 12k or even 15k, I buy it from them and resell it at 20k. So, if you want to sell at 12k or 15k, sell it to me.

Control the price on IDS..Thanks! and happy farming!!!
