Hi there!

After some days of working and trying I'm finally done!

You can do these farms with 2 hero's or with 2 human players.

[In some of my screenshots the skillbars might be slightly different. Ignore it.]

The Farm :

*Note : sometimes a Margonite Ranger will still be alive even after the warriors are death. Make sure to let the other players bring Lightbringer's Gaze* When you're not with players but with hero's, try to bring Spirit Shackles instead of Channeling

Cast your enchantments and let the hero's cast their enchantments on you. Now walk trough the portal and don't forgot to get the blessing for your LB points!

Now let the Famine Ranger cast Serpent's Quickness and Quickening Zephyr. Now cast Spell Breaker and run to the group of Margonites. When you're close to them cast both Visages to drain their energy. Now let your hero cast Famine and make sure you keep the Visages up all the time. They should die within a minute.



After you've killed the Margonites, a group of Titans will appear. Walk to the corner of the chamer and repeat with your Visages.



Go to the next room and repeat.

The Farm :

*Note : for this farm you'll need 2 armors sets: a 55 hp set (actually make sure you have 105 health without the -55 hp chesta) and a 600 hp set.*

[Start with your 105 hp set]
Let the hero's cast the enchantments on you and make sure you've also casted your enchantments on yourself. [Don't let the monk cast Life Attunement on you yet] Now let the Ranger cast Quickening Zephyr and Serpent's Quickness. Now cast Protective Spirit and Shielding Hands followed by Spell Breaker and lure the all the groups of Margonites. Now go and spam your Visages!



Within a minute the Warriors and Dervishes will be death. Now let the monk cast Life Attunment on you and quickly switch to your 600 hp armor set. Now the other Margonites should die within a minute.



Again, there might be one Margonite Ranger who survived the massacre. Finish him with the Lightbringer Gaze's or just move on to the next group since the ranger will just follow you and die in the next group. [Make sure to un-cast Life Attunment when facing warriors again and switch to your 55 hp set.]
_____________________________________________
_____________________________________________

When it's too easy for you, try and go 600 hp only with famine



Just make sure Spirit Bond is casted immediately after it runs out.

_____________________________________________

The Farm :

This farm is very easy. Cast all the enchantments available on you and let the Ranger cast Quickening Zephyr and Serpent's Quickness. Now cast Spell Breaker and lure the first group. Walk slowly to the rangers and monks so their energy will also get drained because of the warriors who are near them.





Now repeat to the next groups. When facing an Abbysal, you might be unlucky when he knocks you down right when you cast Spell Breaker. Maker sure you cast Spell Breaker when you're on the ground because he won't knock you down that soon. If you're having troubles with it, try to bring
Guardian instead of one of the Visages.
_____________________________________________
_____________________________________________

When this is too easy for you, try the harder and faster way and go 600 hp / Famine.



Just make sure Spirit Bond is casted immediately after it runs out.

Good job on guide Witte but this isnt exactly anything new....600/smite/famine have been around for ages in DoA this is just a slight variation to all areas. Really on worth your time to farm Titan gems though.

I didn't say it was new Although the tactics I used in the City is quite new I believe..and the farm in the Stygian Veil is much easier than The Foundry. I believe it's faster too

with ppl I'm not sure the hero's will get loot since I'm getting allot of drops..you also don't share the experience if you flag the hero's far enough. The only thing you share are the money drops

See...this just makes me want to start up a Monk and go "Dude, I can farm some of the darkest parts of Tyria. The Gods are nothing to me!" now...

Course, that goes and gets your killed eh?

Kudos Witte! Glad to see you are back and in full force no less.

(kind of /rant) lol, yea.. it's becoming a household habit these days.

Excellent job as always, Witte.. probably far above my league but at least
there's no entrance fee to DoA so I won't get ruined trying it out.

For your Foundry Bonder you have 4 skills that require upkeep which leaves the Bonder with no energy regen so I'm guessing you forgot to add Blessed Signet to the guide. Also the Attributes you have with that Template Code leaves you with some extra points left over. Below I posted what you probably meant to post. I'm guessing it was just a typo/miss-type since you were focusing on so many things when making the guide . Which is an awesome one btw.

---------------------

Bonder


Mo/X

Skills :

[card]Blessed Signet[/card][card]Succor[/card][card]Mending[/card][card]Watchful Spirit[/card][card]Life Attunement[/card][card]Rebirth[/card]

Attributes :

Healing Prayers : 13 (11+2)
Smiting Prayers : 0
Protective Prayers : 16 (12+3+1)
Divine Favor : 7 (6+1)

Template : OwAT02HDtAAAIl0Uk/jeyEA

---------------------

You shouldn't need more then 13 in Healing Prayers because mending is at +4 at that skill level. So a Major Healing Prayers Rune is sufficient. And Divine Favor shouldn't need to be more then 7 because you are only doing upkeep on 4 Enchantments which gives 12 Energy when Blessed Signet is used. 7 skill lets you get up to 13 energy max. So for that one a Minor Divine Favor Rune would do the job.
