HM Norrhart Domains Farm

Introduction: This is a basic Mo/N 55 Spiteful Spirit Farm. The only slight tweak I added is the skill "I Am Unstoppable" which has many uses that I'll show you later. It's used to farm the Elementals, Avalanches and Pinesouls in the Norrhart Domains.

The Build:


Template Code: OwQUc4G+Q4R1D5BgE0kpEyDiEAEA

Equipment: Armor of any AL (lower is usually preferred but it doesn't really matter in HM) with a Radiant Insignia and a Sup rune 1 of each kind on each one, a weapon with a 20% Enchant mod and a +5 Energy mod, a Grim Cesta, and another offhand that give -20 health incase you die.

[U]Enemies You Will Be Facing:U] Here is a list of the 4 types of groups you can farm with this build.
Type 1: An all Elemental group consisting of 5 Frozen Elementals
Type 2: An Elemental group with 1 Avalanche, there are usually 3-4 Elementals in this type of group.
Type 3: An Elemental group with 2 Avalanches, there are usually 1-3 Elementals in this type of group.
Type 4: A group of 5 or 4 Pinesouls.

How To Use The Build: Right when you spawn cast your maintainable enchants on yourself and use Blessed Signet to replenish Energy. Depending on the type of group the strategy is a little different, but they all start with casting PS (Protective Spirit) and HB (Healing Breeze) before aggroing and maintaining them throughout the fight. Also with every group you will have to pull back in order to get them bunched up and make Spiteful Spirit (SS) effective. Use Blessed Signet to replenish Energy during a fight if you need it.

Type 1- Aggro the group and use "I Am Unstoppable" (IAU) when they start casting Water Trident (WT). This is to stop the KD that comes with moving when hit with WT. Once IAU is done (depends on your Norn rank) they should be close enough together so that they will all be hit by SS. Cast SS on the Ele that seems to be in the middle and while waiting for SS target the Ele that is next to the one you cast SS on first. When it recharges cast SS on that Ele. This will cause the 29 damage from SS to stack for a few seconds. After the 2nd SS the group should be dead. If they aren't, you're doing something wrong.
Type 2- Aggro the group and immediately cast SS on the Avalanche. It'll cast a few spells on you before using Maelstrom, when it does use IAU and walk out of the Maelstrom. When it comes up to you recast SS a few seconds after it recharges. Eventually it'll recast Maelstrom and you just have to walk out of it (try to anticipate when it'll recast Maelstrom and refresh PS and HB before it does so that the KD isn't as dangerous). Once the Avalanche is dead just kill the remaining Elementals.
Type 3- These are the hardest to kill IMO. Aggro the group and watch out for Maelstrom which should come pretty quickly (you'll know it when you see a slow moving snowball-like thing hit the ground). Wait for both Maelstroms then use IAU and walk away from them. At this point the Avelanches should be right next to you so cast SS on one of them. Just keep maintaining PS and HB and using SS on the Avalanches until they are dead and walking out of the Maelstroms, then just kill the Elementals.
Type 5- These guys are stupidly easy to kill because of no KD and no Interrupt. Just aggro the group and keep walking back until they are bunched together. Cast SS on the one that is in the center and once SS recharges cast it on the one next to the first one. Once the second SS is done they should all be dead. **VERY IMPORTANT** Before you go up to collect your loot recast PS and HB. This is because of the traps which they will use during the fight. Make sure you have triggered all the traps before using IAU to get rid of Crippled.

The Run: I seperated the run into 2 parts so that it's easier to see.

Part 1


Part 1 should take about 18-25 min.

Part 2


Part 2 should take around the same amount of time as Part 1.

Full Run


Average run time- 30-40 min.

Just follow the path and you'll be fine .


Notes:
- By the end of the run you should have killed at least 76 foes.
- Remember to pick up your Norn Blessing and go to a shrine every so often to get extra Norn points.
- I have gotten most of my golds and purples from Part 2.
- Bring Lockpicks if you want, there usually aren't many chests around.
- If Kilroy Stonekind spawns, don't talk to him because he'll only spawn a bunch of mobs that you can't kill.
- Watch out for the Jotun Boss mob when nearing the end of Part 1.
- I usually make around 2-3k per run (not that much but w/e).
- I suggest emptying out your bags and only keeping stuff that you'll need in them because ALOT of merchant food (white, blue and purple crap) drops here.

(Yes I do know that no one really cares about 55 farming because of the new Infinite Shadow Form Ass/E but this is just something new for those who don't have a lvl 20 Assassin, like me.)

Nice guide.
But why doing these long runs for that less money?
Are there some special drops, like many golds (as before in the luxon sin farm)?

The only special drop that i can think is the archaic maul (new daw skin) but i know that only drops from kveldulf, fenrir (maybe) and locked chest... None of this seems to be farmed in this guide tho.

just my 2 cents!

3k for 30mins???? no thanks...... it's great to see another 55 monk guide but Assassins are faster I am not going to say better just faster, the run I am currently doing nets me 30k an hour when I am getting bad drops, 55k when my luck is great, even before the SF update I was making more with my Sin farming Elite Tomes/raptors than doing long 55/600 Monk runs, Monks are great farmers but there Speed is horrible.

Umm....I usually get around 2k+ in just 20 mins with my ranger and henches and heroes....so basically pointless for me to do this....and probably many other people.

Like I said, this is just something new for people who are tired of farming the same place over and over again. Also, you can't farm Fenrir with this due to the interrupts. If you want to farm Fenrir you're gonna have to bring something to prevent the interrupts i.e. Mantra of Resolve, SV and AV or something else.
