FoW W/X Cave Farm + Beach
masta_yoda
Hi, nothing new but i wanted to post a build with warrior skills only and basically couldnt find a detailed enuf way to farm cave.
Cave video, umm how to pull etc. video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYAfECBxZFc
Self explannatory to those who hasnt farmed fow b4
RUN TIME
MY AVERAGE FOR CAVE: 35-40 mins
MY AVERAGE FOR BEACH 5-8 mins
Profit per one run:
Usually 1 Chest spawns at entrance of cave after or before u clear the front groups
4k+ merch food [Id'ing /salvaging]
Obsidian Shards [At least 1]
Gold items
Equipment:
Armor
Knights Helmet of Superior Swordsmnship [+1 Swords]
Knights Chest of Superior Absorption
Knights Leggings of Superior Vigor
Knights Gloves of Minor Tactics
Knights Foot of Minor Strengh
i was missing 2 knights insignia during vid/pics so you will most likely take less damage with the extra 2 insignias
Weapon & Shield
Any maxed Sword 15^50 or 15% stanced
Zealous preferbaly / sundering / vampiric / furious [Spiders]
Fire [Snarling driftwoods]
+30hp pommel
Any maxed shield
Tactics or strengh (req requirement what ever fits your attributes)
+30hp or +45 stanced
-2 stanced [if only one shield]
+10vspiercing[Spiders]
+10vsslashing[Snarling driftwoods]
Attributes
Sword Mastery 10+1+3 [14]
Tactics 11+1 [12]
Strengh 10+1 [11]
note:If ur not using dolyak its better to pu strengh down to 9 and rest in tactics or swords and if ur using dolyak put str up to 11-12
Skills and variants:
Orginal Template Code: OQMU8ioS16O8V/Cg5twVCA9VDLA
Variant Template Code: OQMU8ioS16O8V/CgZxdVSLBADLA
Flails not neccasary but without a ias everything feels slower
Sever and gash is also not neccasry and can be replaced by other attack skills as it is counterproductive killing spiders but yeah can be replaced with other skills
Can be done With axe, same attributes ax mastery and 2-3 axe skills
Must Have:
Sprint / enraging charge
Heal Sig
Dolyak/WY
Getting to FOW & BEACH
Step 1:
ok...pay for a free chest group if u want or forest farmer, 50/50 or all, or go in by urself by talking to champion of balthazar
Step 2:
Upon arrival into fow make ur way to the beach eiher by urself or wait until someone charges, assuming u know the way
Killing
Snarling Driftwoods:
These guys are weak and should be no problem to handle
Dolyak/WY -> Flail -> Sever+gash -> dead
Doubters Dryder:
These guys are are also weak and should be no problem to handle
Spam skills -> Flail -> Sever+gash -> dead
Armored caved spiders:
These guys are dangerous when they are in a ginormous group, so pull 1 at most or 2 if u think ur tuf mofo
Dolyak/WY -> Flail -> Shields up[when ever you can]-> Sever ONLY!-> Gash@ 25% hp -> dead
if u fail at pulling 1 group at a time it will be explained below
If u cant get ur group to split up then look below or watch vid
Notes:
Orginal build Has chest running potential in a group
Can add secondary proffesion skills to your liking but this works just fine
ONLY HEAL when u interrupted Healing Spring , which you should be able to get 3-4 heals if u really need it because if they get a healing spring off, might take another 30 seconds to take him down
pulling them : Shown in the video and ill try explain here
1. pull one group with a long/flatbow [i didnt have one at the time]
2. USE THE WALLS
3. pull them back slowly while moving backwards
4. When they lose aggro, Hit speed buff and chase after them, at this point 1 or all should be seperated
5. Attack!!
And if u pull them far enough they get stoned and do jack all and let you pound them...show below:
anyways its best to watch video even tho i rushed it, should explain to you how to pull the spiders if u dont know how
And of course drops...
WILL ADD MORE PICS when i have time
Happy farming

Crippie its Tom
Looking great man. I'll be sure to try this considering I've got lots of warrior tomes sitting around!
Is all that loot from one run?

This is Racthoh's build, with a few Nightfall skills?
Also, maybe you could use Hundred Blades with Whirlwind attack instead of Dslash and others. Zealous would help with the energy..
Gj anyway, took your time to write it all up.

Burning Blade
isn't Bleeding (caused by Server Artery) counter effective because it makes their Melandru's Resilence more effective?

Step 1:
Hide your proffesion as w/mo and join a chest run group (make sure no beach farmers) then dont tell anyone ur farming beach and get a free ride to fow or just simply pay for yourself encouraging griefing is not welcomed I believe. I was wondering why so many dead people in your party bar.
Steboy93
Looks like a decent guide which i might try later, however as said above i would not go about encouraging griefing.
Perhaps join a chest run group and go 50/50 with a forest farmer.

I was more than willing to applaud you for your variation on the beach farming build, but now i see you dont deserve any praise.
masta_yoda
nothing wrong getting a free ride to fow but ok ill edit it out...... and burning blade if u read thru the the skills bit thoroughly i already said sever is counter productive but they will be getting +1 regen at most and sever+gash is only deepwound for sword

AVERAGE FOR BEACH 10 mins Pretty sure people did it faster when they just had Prophecies skills. Vigorous Spirit (1/4 cast buff makes it viable) and Live Vicariously lets you actually fight without all that pulling nonsense once the dryders are down.
Abedeus
Well, W/Mo with Sprint, some non-condition-inflicting attacks, flail, Balthazar's Spirit + Shield of Regeneration + Shielding Hands is more than enough to finish everything in 30-40 minutes. Your build is just... slower.
Plus I dislike the fact that you want to hijack a group of runners... Not too classy.

masta_yoda
yeh its most likely faster using w/mo but using warrior skills is fine to me, though this build is obsolete
and i guess pulling is not neccasry if u got enough dmg reduction

Really, griefing other players just to avoid a 1k entrance fee is despisable. If this is a successful farm then pay for yourself. If you can't cover the 1k fee, then go farm somewhere else.
Tokolosi
Anyone got a link for that/a W/Mo beach and cave build?
Smokestajdh
this made me think of a build i used to use to actually chest run that could also farm cave and beach at a slower rate, using basically charging strike + Healing Sig + Watch urself, but man i dont like the fact u hi jack chest runs, and if i see ppl do it i usually stand next to them when they farm, and more than half the time i take there shards and give half to the person who paid for the run. and the rest are mine for taking the time to annoy the farmer

Well, you're disguised as a runner, get into a free chest run group and split off from the group = free cave run = bad.

how is it bad...u still havent explained
Fuzzy Taco
you're using people, unbeknownst to them, to attain something for yourself at no cost to you. sounds kinda bad to me.
Abedeus
People also believe that you want to run along them. You lie to them. Doesn't the Bible say ,,You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor''? It means ,,you shall not lie to other people''.

sorry the bible means nothing to me..i dont believe in that stuff apparently
Abedeus
I think that whether you believe in the Bible or not, lying is also a crime. If you lie on a trial in front of a judge and it's found out, your punishment would be even more painful. But you don't need to be a lawyer to know lying is a bad thing.
I mean, even a 5 years old child knows that saying a lie is bad thing. If you don't think so, I dare to say that kid is better than you.

Who cares about his means to his ends? Morality is relative.
Just discuss the build, and if there are better versions, state them.

Nice build idea, though the traditional wammo method (link posted earlier) is preferable.
Also, plenty of people hijack runners I'm sure, but you shouldn't be specifically saying to utilize that in your guide.
You're not a good person...good people don't end up here, you know that, right?

Unfortunately game or not, you're lying to real people. With current gold prices, your cheating them out of about 15-18 cents per run.

Pariah Hellfire
Well in yodas defense he did say you can go in by yourself..nice post..i don't think it's right to hijack a group though for personal gain imo.."wag of the finger" for that..pretty cool run though
Koning
Ok, let's report that dude when we see him in-game. Also, close this thread plz because:
1 This is already known, and can be done faster
2 This is getting out of hand (because master yoda seems to be retarded)

What's the problem?
1. This farm can be done faster.
2. Your inability to grasp why lying about being a runner in a chest running group is bad leads me to believe you are retarded.

You sound just as master yoda himself: 'It's a game so I can lie to people'. You are saying it's a game so it's ok he's is doing that. You are retarded too?

And people that pay for you in chest running teams are bots or AI?
