[HM] Feather Farming build DUO

Hi guys, I've made a duo build for farming HM Jaya Bluffs for feathers. In HM enemies drop 19-22 feather per drop, and also a greater number. After doing a run I finished with 123 Foes killed (9 of them being Yetis). Yes, duo is less drops, but you're able to do faster runs then a typical SoS. It takes approx. 1minute-1:30 to kill each mob. And can take up to 6 mobs at once. (I could only do 5 because it killed my FPS :/ )

First build
Standard Terra tank, with AV/SV

Armor/Weapons: Geomancer helps immensely in case of SF dropping. +3earth/+1 on head. Any runes. (need a minimum of 40 energy) (Higher HP=easier tanking)

Tactics: Maintain 2-5 using glyph on 2. Spam 8 when mobbing multiple groups to counter touch skills

Usage: Tank up to 6 mobs( the more the better, but also harder). Right Wall the mob. Chain 6/7 within Spirit Range. Obby flesh must always be maintained, until the whole mob runs out of energy making SF become the priority.


Famine Bonder
Armor/Weapons: Nothing matters although have 16 Healing prayers allows you to drop it to 13 and put the rest in Beast/Wilderness

Tactics: Stay back and maintain enchants.

Usage: Cast all bonds on tank and maintain them. Stay back until tank has mobbed. Run into spirit range and drop spirits. Use Symbosis when tank is mobbing 3+groups.



Reasoning: Out of all the tanking builds, the Terra tank was the best choice as its able to maintain anti-casting on its own, energy management, and damage reduct. (SF is only strong because of shroud (assassins have anti-block attacks))
Maintenance Enchants are solely for HP regen (7 pips) making tanking easier). Vital=easier Tank job.
Av/SV/Famine: Terra is not able to do alot of damage without having to stop and cast tank skills. AV/SV reduces damage out the mob by removing energy.

This was my 3rd run. 28mins=very bad. Having issues staying connected for some reason (error code 007). Also was texting :3
example of some drops.


Feel free to PM for tips, ideas, suggestion. Open to anything, but trolling and non-constructive criticism.

Yes, normal solo is fast and easy. Double Dragon was popular until the spell drastically changed. So switch out Double Dragon for Star Burst.

yay,another feather farming build that could have been put in the other featherfarming threads......

And exactly how many feathers did u actually get?

Moved to Farming.

Funny how you make a duo build that can be done solo, then cover up your skillbar so people can't see your precious build lol.

Seriously, you need to give us more than that. What's your advantage of duo feathers when it can be done solo? (ie. are you clearing 3 times faster?)

Also, cause there's ogden in your screen, isn't hard understand that it's going likely to be a normal PBAoE farm buid just with a bonder to keep u alive.

most likely shock wave with arcane echo with earthquake and after shock with other skills

Firstly i have to complain like many others about - HM for feathers is better - thats the usual crap we hear.
Solo - usually done in nm because foes have less armor/hp so runs are quicker.
HM xxx - foes now have more hp and in general still takes longer than nm per run.

Unless your a farmer who is insistant on getting every drop and doing it hm for better drops its not worth it.
Say an average nm run is 10 mins and you only pick up feathers/crests/golds and garbs in that time and say 100 feathrs.You could possibly do 5 runs an hr and get maybe 500 feathers in total.Hm we know is longer and total feathers in an hr would be a lot less.
Also not included in the equation is a big factor - killing a mob in 1 go gives less drops which we all know and that could mean less feathers depending on what builds are used.
A last thing to mention also is - nm means anyone can do the farm - like new players without having to complete factions just to get hm.
Bottom line - nm may yield less wanted drops but overall its faster and technically more feathers.

Ps - a propper duo would be something along the lines of 2 spirit rits altho its possible to do it solo spirit rit ( think there was a post on guru ages ago showing solo rit at end of run ).
