Just did my first ever UW farms. Since i had 1 UW passage scoll from the raptor farm i decided to give it a try and i must say that the running part is annoying.
1st run: 4 ectos, black dye, 3 golds, new scoll
2nd run: 1 ecto, 1 gold, new scoll, died on trap (only aatxes)
3rd run: 4 ectos, 4 golds, new scroll (killed that one group of terrorwebs)
I must say not a bad start with "free" try and still can do at least 1 more "free" run. I changed inferno and phoenix to LF+MR.
Ps. The videos helped alot, so thanks for them sabeRed!

did the run and got 7 ectos. Not bad at all! It took me about twice as long as you guys are saying as im still getting used to it. Thanks for the build though!

second run, 5 ectos, 26 mins
this is so freakin easy
this is so freakin easy

Tried this build for the first time today.
Took me a couple of times to get it right but after a while I got to the chaos planes.
Got 5 ectos and 5 passage scrolls, not too shabby, even if it did take me 40mins.
Gonna keep on using this build before they nerf it, which they probally will end up doing.
edit : 32 mins and 8 ectos in my second run

I tried to do this run for my first time today.
After some runs I got the idea and managed to do some succesful runs (I failed a lot because of horrible rubberbanding and lagging).
Overall, I got 4 golds, one black dye and only one Ecto. Yes, only one. And I got to the Chaos Plains in 3 runs. I hope my luck will get better

ive been averaging 35 min runs getting 2-6 ecto a run not bad i think

Hmmm, I for the past 5 or so runs I have had only 2 ecto a run drop, pretty consistent but not very good.

tried this several times, the one thing stopping me is i always get hit with a trap, even though i dash over them. do you have to dash at a certain time, or am i just unlucky?
EDIT: Don't know what was wrong before, just did a successful run with 5 ectos, a black dye, and a gloom shield. Needless to day, i'm quite pleased

Some assasins are really greedy.
I was just about to do a run when I saw this assasin asking if anyone can show him how to do the run. So I thought I would be nice and show him how to do it. Anyways, we go in and I clear the main room and then start heading towards the mountain. Then at the door they are blocking it so I cant run by, so I die. Then when were about to go in again he says that since I died that if we get over 4 ectos he gets them all. I told him that since im helping him that he can have 1-2 ectos and I get the rest, but he tells me that he gets over 4 since I suck. So I left him, then these message started coming :
I hope no one has shown him how to do the run.

k sent to support.
Well usually people arent such assholes to me and are actually quite nice, so if I get like 6 ectos then I wouldn't mind giving them one.

i used to use the phoenix and inferno build, but now i use mark and lava font, and its just so much easier, and around the same time also. you never have energy problems, and also i had great luck on my first try with lava font and mark. I got 8 ecto, 3 golds, 2 scrolls, and one white dye. I'd say that was a pretty good run in my mind . and im averaging around 28 minute runs with the second build. but without vipers i use dash for traps and speedness.

Can someone help me? I just tried this build and at the first set of Obsidian trappers I wasn't able to go pass them... they used up all the free space and they weren't on the side like the screenshot shows
A Leprechaun
Lol, it was probably a waste of time but I aggroed 4 BDRs at once today, killing 36 Mindblades at once was a kick, still only 1 ecto from them -_-.

I Will Heal You Ally - Unfortunately thats the luck of the draw, sometimes they spawn and fill that entrance, other times there will be a gap.
If you desperately need that 1k entrance fee then run around killing the aataxes hoping for an ecto or two, otherwise just resign

Wow, people expect to get some drops even if they're being taught how to do it? Ffs, somebody is wasting time explaining what to do and showing it to them, isn't that enough? >.>
Anyway, I've noticed a decrese in ecto drops. You can still average 3-4 per run with the occasional 8-9, but it's nowhere near the constant 8-12 that it used to be. Happened to my guildies at well.

If you're ok cutting into your profits an Essence of Celerity will work. I'm not aware of another skill you can put in it's place that belongs to either the Assassin or Elementalist classes.

Did someone get gloom shield drops in UW nm , cuz i got 2 in 2 runs?
Destiny2097
yeah i've had a few gloom shield drops, had a req9 too but all crap mods. although i've given away insc gloom shields before i didn't need them (actually might have 1 left if someone wants it)

Same here, had a req 10 one with +27hp, nothing else. Gave it to a good friend of mine.

As much as I love this run, I need to start investing in some Phantom Keys.
first runs until today, there was not a single chest in the chaos plains
3 runs today = 4 keys, I decided to sell them all.
Every run after I sold them has had a phantom chest >_>

HOW LUCKY U PPL ARE i always get behemots blocking stairs , and in the runs they werent i didnt get a single ecto, am i doing something wrong or what wow, anyway gonna keep trying so
BLOODGOAT
Ugh.
Does anyone have any RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing advice for getting past the Behemoths with a high success rate? 9/10 runs I did today had spawns that would not let me even get into the Chaos Plains. Whether it was 4 of them body-blocking stairs, or even 3 just clumped up into a ball in the middle of whatever passage I was trying to navigate...
Dash isn't getting me over the traps, or I get body-blocked and rubber-band while I die. I tried Vipers Defense but that didn't do anything. Flame Djinn's Haste is slower than Dash so I'm trying to avoid that. The only viable looking option is Dark Escape to combat the damage taken from traps by reducing it to only 50%.
Which is the best choice? And keep in mind I don't care about the damage from Flame Djinn's Haste because I'm already clearing all enemies in a maximum 4 casts of Lava Font without scattering. So the "but it doubles as a damage-dealing skill" argument is completely irrelevant. I'm looking for survivability, not damage.

Usually for me about 7/10 runs the behemoths have a little opening that you can run through but sometimes its hard to see. I just use dash right before I go over it and dont even get hit by traps. But yeah when there is 4 of them blocking a part you just gotta /resign
I dont really see why you would even need djinns haste for damage since 3 lava fonts kill mindblades/graspings.

I dont really see why you would even need djinns haste for damage since 3 lava fonts kill mindblades/graspings. The one run I got through I managed to get 5 ecto, though... I mean it even out how much goddamn money I wasted getting in, but it is down right no fun, and a total game-killer. I don't like wasting 1k to see 5 mins later when I get to Chaos Plains entrance that I can't even do my run.
And most kids cry religiously for FDH because they can't keep an aggro together and monsters scatter, so they need it to kill them.
And typically, I Dash maybe a second before I go over the traps, but sometimes the space between a Behemoth and the wall is too small and I get caught for an instant, but it sets off the trap and I get knocked to about 1/10 health. If I'm lucky, bleeding won't kill me.

Having the same issues today, getting killed often by those behemoths and their traps. I even asked a few other people and they were having the same issue all day. Really does put out a mood killer on the whole thing.
Trenixz
I had the same problems with spawns and traps, but once you get the hang of getting over the traps and get a few good spawns, it really feels good to see a couple of ectos drop and know that you've made money. Seriously, one run to chaos planes makes more money than the 10 fails before hand.

True, true. Guess I'll have to practice more tomorrow.
BLOODGOAT
Oh yeah. Considering because of shit Behemoth spawns I rarely even make it to Chaos Plains, I've become uber-leet-hax0r at clearing first room (Aatxes too) in 2-3 mins. And about the same for the Chamber, maybe 3-4 mins after Terrorwebs. (Clear all <10 mins.)
Letting SF drop once to get <100 health and not having monsters scatter is the ultimate win. Just carry a vampiric +5e weapon to counter natural health regen if there are less than 2 spell-casters around (spell-casting kills health regen even through SF).

malko050987
Consider getting a +60 staff or similar combo. And if you get hit by the traps but still make it across, like with [Dark Escape] you can switch to that one and the extra health will most likely keep you alive.
Necro Quink
i havent had many problems getting past the benemoths. 9/10 spawns are good. Sometimes i have a bad spawn but still can manage to get pass them.
I'm getting lots of Gloom shields (sold 50+ gloom unid shields to a guildie of my in less than 2-3 days). And also many dyes (had 8 different colors on 1 single run , nothing good though ).
UW is good for Iron, Dust, Wood and Granite slabs (also some steel) if you salvage the white and blue weapons. Getting 1 full stack iron and dust every 2 full runs i do. In my last 2 weeks of farming i got 100+ UW scrolls (dont use them though). Sometimes up to 4 a run.

What I do when I have a Bad spawn, I kill all the aatxe's and I kill the Terrorweb's aswell. Most of the time it gives me 1-2 ecto's 
shadows of hob
I always just trigger all the trap first, interupt the next traps being cast and then try vipers defence>autorun. This usually gets me over the behemots in about 1-5 attempts. The only problem is that the charged blacknessses might have made it to block your path, but you can simlply lure them at the hill on the right side, then go back to the top, run to the left side while the blacknesses are at the top and you can run in the chaos planes.
Drops are probably getting worse, but maybe we are just expecting too much?
