First of all, this is not a "get rich fast" farm. Speed-run kids can leave the topic
I farm this area because of it's non-inscribable drops, and you never know what weird combo's of shields and weapons or Bo Staff you're going to get.

Been farming this area every now and then since 2006 or 07, started off with the W/N riposte spammer.
After the flashing blades buff I made a sin build to farm it, after the change to Shove I had to make some adjustments but it works alright again.

Skills: Jagged Strike, Fox Fangs, Death Blossom, Flashing Blades, Critical Defense, Critical Agility, "I am Unstoppable!", Consume Corpse.
Atributes: 12+1+2 Dagger Mastery, 12+1 Critical Strikes, 3 Death Magic
Weapons: Zealous daggers of enchanting with +5e inscription.
Armor: I prefer full survivor for the afflicted explosion of the boss, it does not matter a lot.

A usual run can net from 0 - 8 gold drops, and takes about 7 minutes.
I know this is not anything new, I just wanted to share my favorite farming spot/build.

Here's the full run:

Equipment Edit Equipment sectionEdit

* Any staff of enchanting 19%/20% with +10 +5 energy/+15-1.
* Survivor, Radiant, or Nightstalker Insignias
* Necessary runes.

Usage Edit Usage sectionEdit

* Pre-activate and maintain your effects before aggroing groups.
* Switch targets after each SS cast to maximize effectiveness of Spiteful Spirit.
* Use Sniper Support on Stragglers + the Afflicted Horror.
* Toward the end, always attack Sickened Guards First then Sickened Scribes and Sickened Servant's with the aggro of SS'd guards; assist SS dmg with Sniper Support on the casters, eventually you'll get a one hit kill.
* Sometimes you may not be able to kill the "afk" guards by fueling the dmg from the 3 attacking guards, to kill them you may need to use Sniper Support or pull the other group toward the wooden bridge back that leads to the Afflicted Horror.

Optional Edit Optional sectionEdit

* Feigned Neutrality in the optional slot to basically out-gen the burning from Sickened Scribes and to deal with the Afflicted Horror's occasional "Lucky Hits"(Hits hard when he gets past block).
* Virtually Anything you feel comfortable with.

u can even fight scribes if u know WTF ur doing right :3 try this

@lithril
Casting spells on a sin looks boring to me, and I doubt its any faster.

As a note, this may be the best place to get Tetsubo Hammers.Out of all my farming in Factions over 5 years, this is the only area I've ever had them dropped (got two).

They aren't worth much, but then no hammers are. They are pretty decent priced considering that (sold my 2 q9s for 17-20k each).

There's not really a point working your way trough al the pets, since they don't drop anything its just a waste of time

I might try this farm. I like when people post topics like this instead of those UW and FOW farm threads.

I used to do it as an explorable area instead of the mission, that way there's no annoying NPC's to baby sit and more enemies.

Used to farm this too^^ In the idle hope of getting Bo Staffs (actually got a q9 smiting once, was crap though). It has some of the most awesome drops there are: Bladed Shields, Tetsubo, Broadswords, etc.. Also, used to salv the whites and blues for Iron^^ Got quite a lot of iron out of it

attributes :

strenght: 9+1 +2 ( because i didn't have a tactics headgear , i just used my strenght. +1 +2 )
sword : 9
tactics : 12 +1 ( no tactics headgear so yeah , gladiators defense does enough damage here. ^^ )

max deldrimor titel does make it go faster.

this is a build so even warrior can easily do it aswell in 7-8 minutes.

(zealous sword +5energy is a must , all the rest doesn't really matter , i just use survivor armor. )

i'm gonna keep doing this till i get a gold dusk blade.

This looks like a great, fun little run! Thanks for posting the video, I'm going to bring my assassin home for a little visit soon, I think!

Edit, btw: Respectfully, it's "Minister Cho". He didn't go through four years of Minister school to have people call him "Mister".

I used to do this run fairly regularly on a 55 mo/n with spoil victor.

I did get a serpent axe there back when they sold for a decent amount, but after they were no longer one of the rarest items in the game.

Here's a video of the 55 Nec doing it using SS, as has already been stated you can use SV too. Its not the most amazing farm out there but its pretty easy and does usually yield a shed load of grapes and a couple of golds with a couple of potential elite tomes.

I might have a look at making a mes version

I tried the sin build in op (thanks for that btw), and was able to do it, but then realized my monk can do it much easier and more effectively...and the k/d's are no problem with IAU. This is the only place i've ever gotten a gold bo staff as a drop and gold shields are pretty common (crude, bladed)

mo/n 55hp
IAU
Prot Spirit
Spirit Bond
Spiteful Spirit
Insidious Parasite
Necrotic Transversal (to get past the gate w/o dumdum Cho following you)
Essence Bond
Balthazar's Spirit

does remind me of back in the day when I first learned to 55, so fun from that perspective

Just gave it a go as 55 monk using this: OwQVc4G6inCFKPYPoeAkgmMMQfQeAA. The only problem is you can't kill guard groups behind the Zoo. Scribe dude removes enchantments and you're done. So I end my run after killing four guards at Zoo entrance. Experience gain per run: 5892.

Lots of sword and axe drops, several req 9 golds. Might continue farming it for +5 en Katana or Serpent Axe.
