Farming New Luxxon Ettins
ak347
New Ettin Farming - The Luxxon Settlement
Build: 55 Mo/Me
Usual gear - ffs, -50 icon, tats + sup runes
SoJ
Breeze
Prot Spirit
Essence Bond
Balt Spirit
Mending
Blessed Aura
Ignorance
You should have about a 10 second ignorance after attribute balance ( i don't remember how I split the attributes - just remember to max smite).
Essentially avoid caromi wild patrols
Keep prot spirit + breeze up for imps
Keep ignorance up on one gypsy ettin at a time (basically kill 1 gypsie ettin at a time - its a bit slow, but it works)
The Earth-born ettins are easy - they have no heal sig
Do not kill the boss so that you can farm the quest again and again
When you're done there, travel to nebo terrace and eliminate hordes of undead, then travel back to ascalon settlement area to kill ettins again
Watch out for anti-farming code
Drops so far: In 2 runs i got 4 golds (3 of which were sups), 2 purps, and the rest junk. Takes about 15-20 mins per run depending on experience.

It's outside of Bergen, get the quest from the Lion Guard near the exit in Bergen.
OP - Nice post, I was thinking about doing this myself, although I think I would rather MM them. I'll give 55 a shot too though.

He's basically farming the ettins in that luxon quest you get from bergen hot springs. You can also farm the ettins in the kurzicks quest given at lions arch. The earth born ettins are annoying with eruption but theyre low level + easy to kill
I've done them both with all warrior skills. Was a fun challenge.

killing one ettin at time will take ages: my suggestion is die one time (equip -20 offhand -> 13hp) and use zealots fire with SoJ. They are level 15 so ZF is a good damage output. Remember to aggro them all, with 13hp that isn't a problem 
note: rezone from the portal near ascalon settlement so you don't have to go all the way from lions arch all the times

yea, its a bit slow, but this way im absolutely sure that i wont kill the boss
And you guys have it backwards:
Luxxon quest is from LA - involves ettin hordes
Kurzick quest is from Bergen - involves undead hordes

is it possible for a 55 necro build 2?
Skuld
Doubt it, unless necros have an interupt I don't know of
MentalMidgit
it is very posible with a nec/mo which is also very faster it takes about 8 mins for one run

All you have to do is cast a garbage spell and let it get interrupted, then cast your requisite spells. Desecrate Enchantments is good for that long-cast-time 'useless' spell. You could also recast Mending or one of the other maintained enchants.
And what "interrupt" do monks have in the first place? Effigy
That's the point, monks don't have an interrupt. Primary 55 monks can use their secondary to get one. 55 necros need to have monk as their secondary, so they don't have that option.

this is ghay stop sharing the good spots or anet will nerf it too... gosh. every ettin run ive made out of seaboard with my 55 has gave me 1 gold rune and 3 purples every single run... but now everyone will know and it will get ruined. not that i dont want other people to know im just tired of farming nerfs
oh and its the basic 55 build with zealots fire, yes they run but i aggro the entire mob so it really dont matter then i simply spam ps and breeze to deal killing dmg to out damage there heal sig ender6

<<Doubt it, unless necros have an interupt I don't know of>> Yes indeed they do: Spinal Shivers. Requires the Necro to have a cold dmg dealing weapon -- but what necro doesn't nowadays. Da Cebuano
I have this quest on my warrior, and yeah I solo this alot of times, however I can't get the mission to appear for my monk. I haven't done much kryta missions on this monk, I basically skipped kryta even though the monk has finished the game. Is there something like a mission that needs to be done b4 this can be activated?

First, you don't need an interrupt per say for mo/x farming
You just override the critical point for heal sig and they stop siggin Point in case - let them hit you twice with soj up, they stop to heal sig (and won't run if u trigger multiple zealots fires) At this point, trigger breeze and prot spirit for another 120k (they have lower armor, so fire dmg doubles). They don't cast heal sig twice in a row, so they attack you again, and then you hit breeze again. Voila, they almost never sig after this point. And I don't understand how anyone could do this run in 8 minutes. First, you can have a bad guard spawn right outside of lions arch (skale blighters anyone?) Second, you inevitably have to kill some imps and tengu (all of which take time) Third you have to watch so that you dont aggro any tengu wild. Fourth, it takes roughly 4 minutes just to run to the ettins (if there were NO enemies) And finally, if you get a good spawn and simply run to the ettins, you will trail a horde of aggro, and no matter how many health regen you have, being hit by 15+ monsters simultaneously is instant death. Even more so if imps have you burning. sLiceR
with 13hp you can aggro all the ettins at once

Phreakilla, it doesn't matter if anet nerfs this... 55 monks have cash coming out of their ears, the build is designed to farm.
For interrupt: Technically, monks do have a form of interrupt, it's called Signet of Judgement. Phreakilla's way is probably easier, but if you want to lose Shield for Signet to interrupt the ettins, go right ahead...then again, what class besides monk doesn't have an interrupt? We don't need to worry about interrupts: Mo/N: Spinal Shivers, use a cold weapon and smack the ettin with it when they're using healing signet Mo/Me: Ignorance Mo/R: use a bow- Distracting Shot Mo/W: there's like...8... just take the one that costs 5e and hit the guy with it...or use hammer and just knock them down Mo/E: umm...Maelstrom.. **Rust** Mo/E can probably just use Rust and follow up with a spam of ice spear... also, rust can be used to aggro the ettin, just spam ice spear after it starts attacking you.

(sarcasm at work here) Former Ruling
For the two guys asking above me - You cant get the quests anymore.
You have to have already had them activated when they removed the quests. Also the ettins left over from the quests if you still have it activated - seem to have stopped dropping anything. I did 3-4 runs wtih no purle or gold armors off the Luxon ettins. Normal gold drops from the nebo ettins though...so I think they nerfasized the Luxon ettins so its fair for the people without the quest. Or I just did ALOT of bad runs... |
