Fog Nightmare map locations?

I'm going to start farming Fog Nightmares for dust, and I've searched for them and such...found their locations on Wiki:
* North Kryta Province
* Kessex Peak
* Majesty's Rest
* The Black Curtain
* Talmark Wilderness
* Riverside Province
but what I need are screens of specific locations where large groups can be found. If anybody could show me some good locations to farm I'd be grateful. TY in advance.

<Adversary> it's like a thread just for you
<Sauzer> hahaha
<Sauzer> this man is my soulmate
<Sauzer> someone with an account want to tell him that Talmark is the best?
<Sauzer> it's chock full of em
<Sauzer> and easy to farm

Apparently Talmark Wilderness is your best bet.

o_O -blinkblink- The only thing I got outta that was Talmark and best....XD erm thank you, oh weird person?

Talmark Wilderness is full of a bunch of other crap too though, and the fog nightmares are way spread out. If you want concentrated Fog Nightmares, head south from ToA and follow the southeastern winding path until you get to a poison river with two bridges running over it, go straight south from there and there is an area there with well over 30 Fog Nightmares. BTW, what exactly do you plan to kill these things with? It's not a warrior is it?

Yeah, I used to run past those quite often while farming the inferno imps for charcoal. Frickin' deldrimor steel.....

Talmark Wilderness is filled with Fog Nightmares, Forest Minatours (which are great for farming sickles), those tree people, Skales, Mergargoyles, and Fire imps.

Hmm yap I just did a run through there on my tank, killed everything no prob, but that's only 1 or 2 nightmares at a time. They are way too spread out...this new place; what shall I attempt to farm them with? The only other lvl 20 I have is a necro. I do 55 on her, think that would work?

55 would be your best bet i think, from what i've seen when i was fighting through there solo on my ranger just to uncover the map, the Fog Nightmares don't spawn in groups of 1-2, more like 3-5 at a time.

Very high damage from Touch of Agony and Dark Aura, damage that ignores armour, stances, shouts but not protection. I've also found out that they drop a large amount of Monstrous items.

Um... a 55 monk would get killed by touch of agony faster than a cat in a microwave. The touch skills ignore protective spirit.

What a waste, the imps outside LA drop charcoal quite abit. I have 30 pieces sitting in storage. Thats just about 10 runs or so through them. 10-15 minute runs with barrage

This is complete and utter nonsense ^^

shadow damage: ignores armor, but not protection (as originally posted by Thrawn). Only thing you have to worry about is life steal, which afaik they dont use, and degen (swamps poison and bleeding) heh plague touch ftw.

edit: I've been corrected on the use of life steal, yes mark of subversion, yes ow.

There is a boss that uses Life Siphon amidst the Black Curtain Fog Nightmare crew, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I can't remember but I think max regen is 10? If so then if you've got a +4 Mending and a +8 Breeze then Siphon will only bring your regen down to +9.

If the fog nightmares still use Mark of Subversion, then yeah, a 55hp'd die pretty quickly, as that's health stealing, which ignores prot spirit...

this IS of concern, yes...heh didn't know they used that. I've last gone through those monsters many moons ago and didn't remember they used that. I actually dust farm in UW, FoW and tombs, but its admittedly a sideline and I just convert to vellum whenever I get a big pile.

i'll try to post a picture later when i get home but the "The Black Curtain" is your best run.... about a 30 second run or shorter to the spot and there's groups of 3 and depending on your build you can farm them pretty fast. I can't beat the boss (nightmare) so i just rezone and repeat. 50 to 100 each run, if i don't die.

Yeah, i believe that's called Kessex Peak. Not too sure. It's the zone leading up to Galrath's place when doing the Villiany of Galrath. I was doing some dust farming there this morning with a traps. kinda slow and troublesome with those darn reed stalkers popping up. I got about 100 dust per run (did about 3 runs). Those nightmares drop upwards to 38 piles of glittering dust!

I'm not sure how mark of subervion effects 55hp monks now, there was an update concerning the vampiric effect it has, but when i last took a 55hp to nightmares MoS wasnt a problem as prot spirit put a stop to it.

I did 30 runs within "riverside" try'n to bust the myth if they droped ecto, and they dont(beta info that plauges the web still to start rumors). They did drop alot of dust... a few grapes and golds but that was pre-fix for mark of subversion... never got any of these monsterous items.

12 fog nitemares a run * 30 runs, 360 fog nitemare kills... all my experiance doing it

i gave up after 10 runs... 5 w/ a W/Mo and 5 w/ R/Mo

55ing nightmares is possible u jsut need to be VERY careful to time spells between marks of subversion, i found that precasting holy veil to ditch the amrk as u need to cast works

So pretty much the trail to Galrath eh...Black Curtain and Kessex. I hate MoS >_> but I'll give it a try with my 55. This is going to be quite hard to get casting time right. If I can't master it I'll just get some guildies to help me out. ^_^

I've been farming FoW and UW but Amercia doesn't usually have favor when I'd like to go...bleh Europe. o_O So nightmares it is for my spare time.

Thanks everyone, you've been so helpful.

There's definately ways to work around Mark of Subversion on these guys using a 55 build. When fighting groups of 3+ make sure you cast PS before you aggro these guys as MoS should be one of the first hexes on you. You'll have MoS on you for a maximum of 9 seconds (@ level 12) so if you have Prot at level 10-11ish your PS will last almost twice as long. When MoS wears off immidiate re-cast PS (1/4 sec cast time vs 1 sec cast time). I do not recommend casting any spells that take longer than 3/4 sec cast times.

It's very possible, and very easy once you get some practice. The only time I ever had any problems with these guys is when they didn't cast MoS in a predictable fashion. Like for instance you casted your PS on yourself and waited.....waited...still no MoS....wtf?!?!..okay 10 secs has gone by now. At that point you obviously need to recast PS because if they put the Mark on you at that point then PS will wear off while MoS is up and obviously you will die when you re-cast PS.

If your ever in a panic situation (IE there's no way you can avoid casting under MoS) you can do a quick eq swap to take off one of your Sup runes, cast PS, and then re-equip the Sup rune eq. That's easier said than done obviously but I've done it before.

Another way would be to get a monk icon that gives you a HP bonus (remember that prot +1 icon from the good ole prot bond UW days?) and equip it in one of your weapon slots. So say if you get 30hp from that icon and get another 55 back when not using the Necro -55 icon that will put you back up to 135hp and you can safely cast under MoS. Again not ideal, nor easy, but possible.

Good luck!

Fog nightmares remind me of Villainly of Galrath......what a horrible memory......

SS necros can pwn these guys. It's just that it's a tedious tapdance routine as far as farming goes. I guess the 55's have the same problem.

I'm an SS and 55, double pwn. =P I haven't tried yet..I plan to soon though. I figured I'd need plenty of time cuz I'll probably be frustrated for awhile. o_O
