I have SEARCHED AND SEARCHED but I have only found a couple threads with good farming locations and I want this thread to be VERY SPECIFIC WITH THE 55HP SOLO NECRO BUILD!!!!!!!!

Come on this is the Fellowship of Necros.... If everyone shares there BEST spots for SOLO farming then we should all find some new HOTSPOTS!!!!!!

I believe this THREAD does belong here because I want it to be SPECIFIC to solo NECRO FARMING!!!!!!!!!

OKAY i'll start by listing my Favorite SOLO farming HOTSPOTS!!!!!!!!!

"HOTSPOT" FARMING LOCATIONS(from most to least profitable)
1) UW smite run
2) FoW (still haven't mastered the mesmers)
3) Griffins ~Outside Augory~
4) Hydras ~Outside Augory~
5) Minitors ~Elona Reach Mission~
6) Sand Drakes ~Outside Elona~
7) Giants ~Iron Mines of Malodune Mission~
8) Jungle Trolls ~Outside Henge~

That is a LIST of my top 8 SOLO Farming spots!!!!!!
Remember this THREAD is for 55hp i-NECRO farming ONLY

if by some chance they do strip me I hide behind the two ghost to the left side at the starting spawn where the ataexes get stuck, then I recast enchantments and continue

PS, this is a solo necro farming thread, not a how to farm the locations thread! please stay on topic

Titans? Darn, not you too. My favourite spot is outside LA.

The drops aren't great, mostly just armour, the odd magmas shield and such, but its fun. The griffons are better IMO.

I did get one sup Vigor there though.

They appear as part of the Titans quests after you finish the game. If you finish all of the Titans quests they may no longer appear, though I haven't checked yet.

I normally farm the Defend North Kryta quest, but its more for fun and the money rather than items.

Could just be bad luck or the anti-farming code kicking in for you. I haven't farmed griffons in ages but I went back yesterday and in 1 run got 3 golds and 4-5 purples. Then in another I got 2 gold and more purples. I was flabergasted.

I'm glad you came up with this thread. I'm tired of constantly hearing the phrase, "use the search". Searching for what? Old content? Stuff we've already read? Half the time I use that "search" function I get a gazillion results that lead to nothing or have no relevance.

Keep the posts coming!

@OP - Your list pretty much sums up the places I know minus the Ettins at Beetletun and beyond.

You can farm in the Ring of Fire easely, i mean outside that lil' outpost there. It's possible with a necro, the flesh golems are easy to kill.

Okay, for the Fellowship of Necromancers, I will post my favorite farming spot. I haven't seen it listed yet, so those who have already discovered it will probably be really mad, but:

Rune Farming in Deldrimor Bowl. Nothing special about the rest of the drops, but I've found more gold runes here than anywhere else since the Beetletun Ettins were nerfed.

How do you solo the flesh golems w/o getting stripped?

Have high health + SS + plague sending or something like that?

I went to some locations listed here... and out of nowhere a "caster" mob(s) appears. They nerfed it?

Flesh Golems on Perdition Rock cast Lingering Curse... which removes all my enchantments : (

The horse things? (lorasu skin monsters) or are there other things to kill? How often do you get gold rune drops?

Any other information you wish to share about this spot?

Here is how you farm flesh golems.
Solo - First cast Mending and Prot spirit - use SS - They will remove the 2 enchantments - but take dmg from SS - when your enchantments are removed cast them again - you will have the energy for it
*Remember* only use prot spirit and mending..!

Duo - Let a monk tank - spam SS

It'll cost you a lot of time and you'll find only a few runes, the other stuff isn't worth anything, is it worth it..?
Can't you make more money in the same time by farming griffons or something like that?

For the Giants in the Iron Mines mission...I'm guessing it involves a whole bunch of running past the other mobs along the way?

How about White Mantle...any good spots for them?

Can't you make more money in the same time by farming griffons or something like that? Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner. It's all about the runes. You are right, it won't make you rich. I haven't gotten anything else of value other than keys, and I use those on an opportunity basis. Sometimes I get golds from chests.

Runes seem to drop the way that Ettin runes used to. I would say 1 gold every run, occasionally 2. It can be frustratingly slow, but there is nothing in the area you need to sprint past (as a n/m you can't), and the drop rate seems to be higher than Ettins now. I got a full set of Monk Superiors this way, and an Absorbsion. Haven't gotten a Vigor yet though.

Rhuobhe: Losarus drop the Runes, loads of purples, one or 2 gold per clearing. Worth it? I don't know -- but better than Ettins at the moment.

Maybe it's just my luck but I cleared about half the map and go not even a blue armor drop.

I get tons of purple/gold drops from the ettins still though

Murder, you have to wait until the third or so group to get drops. Then (by my luck) You'll get like 3 gold req 8 max sephis axes that'll all turn out to be 14% vs hexed foes. By the way, anyone want one? I'll sell for cheap :P
