Alright. I know this is a bit of an old topic, and I apologize for iterating/re-iterating, on the subject, but a lot of the threads I saw in regards to this particular subject were a bit old, and wanted a fresh one.
Granite Slabs, where to farm them, how to farm them. They are definately a sought after material, as I myself need 2,500 of them for Destroyer Weapons for my HoM. Yes, I'm making a full set of Destroyer Weapons.
What I've been reading is that people really like to farm outisde of Sardelac Sanitarium for GS's, and I agree, I do it myself all the time. The way I accomplish it, is by pure damage reduction, seeing as how they're pure Melee, I also utilize this build OQMU4inGV6S8V9FTN7gFF3VrEyDA, which I made myself btw.
But my issue with this run, is that due to the Crown of Thorns in the Western side of Old Ascalon, I can only farm one half of the map, you'd be surprised how easily one or two of those little buggers can make your life miserable. I also dislike, seeing as how I farm this a lot, that my drop rates have gone down the toilette, effectively making this run a bit slow.
Now. I know that you can farm DCores for GS's, but I'd like to try and farm something that specifically, like the Hulking Elementals, drop GS's as well as an item, such as the Stone Carving(s) that the stone creatures in Arborstone drop. I don't know if it's possible though to farm the stone creatures (Stone Rain, Stone Soul, Stone Crusher, and Stone Reaper) in Arborstone (Explorable). Or if they even drop GS's. But whilest doing the AS Mission, I recieved a Carving, and it salvaged into 7 GS's, so I thought it might be worth it.
With that said. I've tried figuring out how to farm the stone creatures there, but with no luck. I've also looked into farming the Destroyer's in Glint's, but most of the builds I see people using, are with an Assassin, which I don't have, I also don't have an Elementalist. I could make them easily, but I'm trying to refrain from spending any money, as I need quite a bit of it to get my weapons crafted, 500k+ in materials, which is why I'm farming.
So. If anyone could shine some light on my situation, post a build, post a spot that they like farming for GS's, (Aside from Hulking Elementals in Old Ascalon please. :P) I'd greately appreciate it.
More specifically, if anyone knows a way of farming stone creatures in Arborstone (solo) then by all means, post away.
