We've been working on some builds and came up with this for the Bogroot Dungeon SC.


A/Mo Runner+Bonder
12+1+3 Shadow Arts,12 Protection Prayer, 3 Deadly Arts
- Deadly Paradox
- Shadow Form
- Shroud of Distress
- Shadow Sanctuary
- ''I Am Unstoppable!''
- Dark Escape
- Balthazar's Spirit
- Life Bond

E/Me Sliver
12+1+3 Earth Magic, 10 Inspiration Magic, 8+1 Energy Storage
- Obsidian Flesh
- Elemental Lord
- Sliver Armor
- Armor of Earth
- Stoneflesh Aura
- Mental Block
- Channeling
- Mantra of Resolve

The builds aren't completed yet, but the test run was a success:

We're currently working on the builds, ''softening the edges'' at the run in level 1 and the difficult parts of level 2

Note: An Essence of Celerity was used on level 2.

I know I won't ever do this since I am way too unmotivated to play this game anymore, but good job regardless.

You guys realize that me and my friend got a 21 minute run with discord way with an essence, right? Not that hard of a dungeon to complete in HM still...

its done similar to the old frogrun with running through to lvl 2 and then to the key keeper ect, as a solo runner it's not that easy to make it through the Incubus, tho with some timing its possible. and at the beetles have Disenchantment, a spirit that causes problems. But as SF doesnt drain ur life when its ripped, its not a real problem, just dont forget to recast SF before u aggro the frogs again

and about the Discord run, like said, this was a test run, our 1st try of doing it duo, so it tends to be sloppier

The red rock candies arent such a bad idea but tkinking about it, its a farm run, we intend to make more money out of it than spend it so it might not be so wise to use em.

Any ideas are welcome and you are welcome to try it out if you are up to the challenge.

Well a cupcake is cheaper than rock candy.

Also, ignored the Discordway guy. Jealous cos you did it in 19 mins with 2 people on a test run, took him 21 mins with a full party :P

pretty sure u can just get a leecher to take life bond and some perma to run first dungeon level and he goes half price and boom u get 60k
also duo is better than heroes and hench cos they steal ur dops.
also if u r gonna take full team just take manly spike team and get it done in 15mins

if the runner ( sin in this case) triggers the shrine , both will spawn on it after death, that's for sure, at sinway froggies there needed to be atleast 3 who went past it, at duo 1 is enough. make sure u rly trigger the shrine, that the ''ray of light'' becomes a ''ball'', once u've done that u practically won.

as for the beetle part, ele isnt a runner at all ( lack of run skills and anti cripple) so the sin's on his own the whole dungeon. as sin ur eventually gonna get stripped of enchants cuz of disenchantment, but for that part u dont rly need SF, just be sure u recast it before aggroin the frogs again.


ah and for the record, we had 2 '' unneccessary'' runner deaths in lv2, due to an aggro of Incubus ( unneccessary meaning dying cuz of a mistake, not a planned death for respawning at another shrine).

hey so me and a friend of mine have been trying this out... seems to work nicely though we subbed deadly paradox out for dwarven stability (another cover plus makes extends damage redux)... anyhow we have the whole run down pat (about 15 min) but our problem is that last boss... sliver just wont stick on him, you guys have any suggestions? its really frustrating after all the work we put into this.

to complete the dungeon you have to kill the boss and HIS group of about 3 frogs, to do this in the shortest amount of time i solve it by knowing where I have the boss' "minions" see em die, and then die myself, after that the foe with most health (should) be targeted as a primary. If u get the boss killed first be sure to ONLY kill the "minions" or else the run will take ages. (basicly the tip is: die until he is targeted)

k guys listen up for pro tips on kahbuus fat frog frying.
-a) first sliver try moving around the boss until u get him with sliver then just wait.
-b) if you did not do a) try it again, if that doesn't work you cna do two things.
1)ball up the other minions away from then get assassin to stand next to him then EE(if u take this in your build, i did) to him and put up sliver.
2)wait until it finally reaches onto him, if this is after loads of the minions have died just use a summon stone and get the assassin to wand takes time to work but works.

on another note. i have managed to do this now but as a guild who love the old DD and runner days we just take 2 DD and 6 runners and then roll, tis a lot of fun cheers for the builds our time stands at like 11mins second level.

Lord rico your idea will not work because Khabuus is not classed as a boss and also its just quicker to have a slot of things beating on you and then susing sliver.

well Khabuus is classed as what i usually call a "Party Leader" which will respond to the ways i've tried, and it was this way i killed him myself during this first run (the kill took 2-4min including HIS mob) [most of my sliver-tricks I can't explain in words cuz of language and it's in my fingers XD]
Nice job Deatgs.C, it pleases us that it's coming to use, ye happen to have a pic of a record run?

I do not think I have one of tht run but will get u one asap.
I know what you mean about it being in the fingers because I used to do the khabuus ball behind fat guy jump on an assasin. but anyways more to the point if you take just
one DD and some sins with loads of cover enchants you can get run to first patriarch down to 4min including zone time then if you auto target right away on khab u Basically got urself a 10-14min run.
the only problem with more than two is that at lea t five of you have to hit the shrine.

Works indeed.



our first attempt. not really sure if you need mental block/channeling. maybe could swap mental block or channeling for ebon vanguard ward

I think it would be nice to see a SC team again,

with 1 E/ME DD
and few runners, since they hit pretty hard trough SF. to speed things up

Thx sharing builds, gj
