Is it still doable to farm Titans during "Defend North Kryta Province" (after update it to hard mode quest)?
I farmed it with my 55 monk long time ago, but my old build (with SoJ) doesn't work now. I can't kill earth Titans - they have regen now.
Maybe other builds can ?

It might be possible alone, but more likely with a hero.

I farm them daily in solo in HM on my Rt.

As long as you avoid direct aggro is trivial, I also kill all the White Mantle bosses.

It is a good farm for iron and granite, and if you get lucky you could score a nice Magmas Shield/Arm.

I vanquished the map duo other day, then repeated it solo it just takes time.

Hint: EVAS is very useful

Add Finish Him to your bar to knock out the earths at the end if it's taking too long (with n/mo it doesn't take more than one SV + 1 necrosis sometimes is needed). If nrg is then running low, take off mending except when there are 4+

if you are after magma shields you are better off chest running hell precipice - 3 chests guaranteed - 3-4 minute run and its easy in NM

still rare but drop rate is about 5% and about 2-3% of them being gold

or... run Hell's Precipice in HM which is slightly more difficult, but yields better drop rates... But do some runs in NM first to not get owned off the bat..

Magma shields may drop inscribed from chests spawned by Tyrian Titans in this quest. Those specific Titans may also drop an inscribed Magma. There's an old thread here discussing that chest among other things.
