Put highly salvagable on cleavers. 97 granite off one salvage is not unusual.

I used to farm Stone Kirin out of Matuu Keep back when I was Elite Skill capping and I was broke on skill points. Witha scroll (I forget which one) I was getting a skill point every 12 mins or so, gaining the drops was just an added bonus. I think there is a blurred vison ut there now that killed my build.

I farm the Hulking Stone Elemetals and get plenty of Granite.

I use an R/W with an Axe and Dwarven Stability powering my Glads Defense/Lightning Reflexes combo.

I've been farming the hulkings but they usually don't drop anything. If I kill 10, 2 of them will drop something. I've been using a monk to kill them all at once with soj, did it with a warrior killing them 1 by 1, same results. In HM and NM this is the case.

This was outside serenity temple btw.

Try outside Sardelacs and just keep trying - you can find so many out there. Also always do HM for those.

Forget Sardelac as I tried today and they have nerfed the area. I used to farm the place in HM with my Ele but impossible to do it now.

People always say the hulking stone elementals outside ascalon in HM but they only drop those pathetic lodestones that salvage 1 granite slab. Some say they drop more but from what item? The lodestones sure aren't filling up my granite slab collection =l

I have never had any trouble getting plenty of granite outside sardalac.

But if that is not working for you try this.

Do the lb/ss run in the desolation then salvage the inscribed shards.

How much is everyone farming them? If you stick with it after a point (at least for me) granite is all that drops. I farm with an SS/55 necro and I can get a stack in maybe a little over an hour if I really focus on clearing the area fast.

When I was trying to do it I found the hulking elementals to very rarely drop decent granite.




I was saving up for Destroyer Weapons so obviously I needed a fair bit and the best way was farming the Kirin. It was pretty easy, got some nice golds and most importantly I could get about 30-45 granite per run which is not bad considering at most it would be a 5 minute run.

Thought that asking for farming spots was against the Forum rules? Meh, other mods have come before me and left this post alone, so shall I.

And tbh, your bad luck with the Hulkings surprises me. They are generally a decent farm for Granite.

This thread turned into the farming thread that people should read before posting stupid granite related questions that I have to close, so basically I'm leaving it open for that purpose.

Just for anyone still needing a source for Granite, or even Iron and steel. When I need it, I just keg(using perma build) Vaettir (spelling) in jaga Moraine, they drop bronze crushers, copper crushers etc, also all types of chakarams and blades, and lastly granite hammers.
Which if I have any, I use the salvage insc, and using a superior salvage kit can get up to about 80 odd granite from a hammer.

Or as previously said, Oolas is very worth while, collecting golem stones.
End up getting about 50-70 granite a run, plus drops at end.

This ^ is a GREAT farm build I made for Sardelac area granite farming. It's fast and furious and works quite well for the warrior type. Just make sure to stay away from those healing pods.
