Proph/Factions Assassin Farming Questions
synbios_kun
Hi guys. I just returned from a four-five year dormancy, and I wanted to try playing again. Now, given the shiny expansions of Nightfall and EoTN, are there still viable Assassin farming builds using only Factions skills?
Yes, yes, the obvious solution is to 'buy the expansions', but as of the moment, I don't have the money to do so, so I'm stuck with my current Proph/Factions for the foreseeable future.
Help a returnee out, please?

I'm sure there are. PvE-only skills (mainly the EotN/NF ones you lack) are mostly just OP'd versions of already-existing skills.
Here's a simple one to get you started:
http://www.gwpvx.com/Build:A/Mo_Flashing_Blades_Farmer
Drop Crit Agility for something else, but in all other cases, yes there probably is.
Check out the archives of all the old builds, specially the outdated ones: http://www.gwpvx.com/Category:Archived_tested_builds

I've tried out the Flashing Blades Farmer and I find it very useful. Out of curiosity, besides the six Jade Brotherhood Knights near the entrance of Wajjun Bazaar(from the Marketplace), where can I find high concentrations of those guys?
EDIT once more: One final thing - since it's been a while, what should I be looking for when farming these guys?

Add critical defences to the flashing blades build and try farm the "Mr Cho's Estate" mission in hardmode, occasionaly has nice drops and is fun..
this does require you to have prophecies, i do assume you have it?
there is a thread here on guru
add necrotic traversal(or consume corpse=prophecies skill)
and an anti block skill, such as balanced stance, which is core.

Besides that, looking to hunt for some Dragon Kamas.
EDIT: I also heard that people buy unidentified golds. Are they often particular with what kind of gold items that they're looking for, or do golden salvage items count for the purposes of sellability? More importantly, I guess - how much do they usually sell for?

Second issue - the link provided has I Am Unstoppable, which I don't have.

consume corpse or necrotic traversal is a MUST, so you can travel forward so togo will survive.

Golds are bought simply for the Wisdom title. The gold in itself doesn't matter as long as it is unidentified. Prices will float around 7 golds for 5k, or something like that. 600-750 apiece.

forgot all about that sorry, then i dont see a way for this to work except with pve skills... sorry
synbios_kun
That's alright. I'll try to see if there are other ways to adjust the build with regards to my limitations.
@Plutoman: By selling un-ID'ed golds, it doesn't matter to them if the items are un-ID'ed weapons, foci, shields, or monster armor?

Right, looks like several of the archived Assassin farming builds have been rendered obsolete by the Shadow Form reworking. And, while the Flashing Blades build was very good, it's useless in spell-heavy farm areas, like Mourning Veil Falls(currently hunting for Darkroot Entrop's daggers). Currently taking a few henchies(Lukas, Danika and Karl) to maximize chances of getting better drops.

taking henchies rather minimizes then maximizes the droprate...

Apologies. Forgot to clarify that I opted to take FEWER henchmen than the normal maxed-out party list. If I'm not mistaken, fewer henchmen means more drops for me, compared to a full-henchman party, yes?

In the meantime though, I heard that The Halcyon Job is a rather lucrative farming quest. Is it possible to do so as an Assassin?
