JAGE: I was wondering if your elementalist monk could pull off the same amount of farming as seen in the primary monk video in the starting of this post?

Alan: you don't need a monk as your primary if that's what you're asking, my N/Mo can do the exact same thing, basically all the healing you need against those critters comes from healing hands so there is no real need for divine favor, hence allowing any primary to pull this off

I farm quite well as a W/Mo, usually in the higher end places like Perdition Rock against Flesh Golems, etc. But the setup works well anywhere against melee. I will post the stats and perhaps a video later when I get home from work.

For the poster that asked why these files are not in a 'standard' WMV or MOV (quicktime) format, it's because those two formats that are "native" to the players have horrible compression. XviD is great compression and encoding and allows the files to be much smaller without sacrificing a tremendous amount of quality.

Downloading and installing the codecs linked earlier is a simple task that requires little effort for a lot of benefits.

You can't farm right outside of Amnoon, there are Rockshot Devourer's or whatever they're called all over the place. Try to cast anything with 1second or more cast time and they'll interrupt you.

I'd like to know where these "spiders" are where it's all open space except when you trigger 5 of em to come up. This must have been a popular area and they took steps to make it more difficult or I'm just in the wrong area.

Look at the first video, it's right outside Amnoon. You just have to avoid the scorpions. Most of the time they spawn away from the buried spiders. When they aren't, you go through Amnoon and back out again or just kill them with spiders.

I like the nice "Undead Hordes" quest from the Beetleton Elder, you can farm the first two waves then go back into the city and the com back and do it again and again ^^

If you don't mind my asking... Where is Amnoon?

Conquer Sanctum Cay (mission 15 or so), then you will be taken to the Amnoon Oasis in the lower right corner of the map. Then go outside to Prophet's Path. That's where all the "Amnoon Spiders" (the politically correct term is "Jade Scarabs" XD) are.

Best of luck.

I got the Amnoon run to work however 1 out of every 3 attempts is foiled by the Rockshot Devourers. Some spawn with the "spiders" (jade scarabs I believe) and their aggro status is linked with the scarabs'. Other times, it's just impossible to avoid them jumping in the battle.

With the scarabs, I found you can make some substitutions if you don't have Balthazar's Aura or Healing Touch (I didn't get either until Droknar's Forge). Smite Hex works well for some instantaneous AoE damage as well as Shatter Hex if you're a mesmer (although you'll have to have some points in domination). Mend Ailment has a low enough recharge time to spam on yourself to get both the Divine Favor healing and the Zealot's Fire damage so it works well as a workaround for healing touch.

I got better drops from the scarabs however you'll earn more money doing the zealots and justicars from Riverside. I have been rather irritated though at the purple and gold salvage item drops I get from Riverside that always expert salvage into hides or iron. The blue salvage items always have a rune (usually a crappy minor beastmastery that I couldn't pay people to take) which makes me wonder if these purple and gold ones are bugged.

Anyway, great videos, great posts....the gold is flowing in.
