Just found my first green in factions, and thanks to the game, it was a pair of daggers while I am playing an assassin.

It was found in "Pongmei Valley", between Maatu Keep and the south exit of Sunjian Distict.

Here is a picture and a map that tells you roughly where to find the boss.

Enjoy

Gilded skin.. cool. I was doing the finding the oracle quest, and for some reason, one 'ssin boss spawned twice. On the 2nd he dropped a 7-17 "*someone's* Butterfly Daggers" with 15%^always, -5 nrg, zealous, and i think fortitude. Bad skin, but OK mods IMO. I like these a lot better.

so are they always dropped by him?
Do you need to beat him solo or can you still get drop with hench?
I have done it twice now and not had a single drop of anything off him.

Thanks for the info! Got the daggers after 4 tries with 4 Henchmen, but he should be doable with 2 or even none if you are a ritualist

I did it about 6-7 times with a healer and an assassin henchie. No dice. That's enough for me.

Btw he caps Way of the Empty Palm, if I remember. Pretty easy cap for assassins.

yes it drops, and its pretty easy to farm which means the price will only drop, if you leave from maatu keep and head east you can avoid most of the jade brotherhood (or outrun them if they chase after you) and then head back to farm

if you have the funds i suggest buying a few cantha keys since there is usually a chest within a reasonable walking distance. if he doesn't drop the daggers, just port back to maatu and try again.

it took me about 2 hours to get them to drop, so dont expect them to drop right off. also the more henchies you have in your group the less the likely hood that they'll drop for you (more people in the party that aren't actual players, henchies do have an effect on drop rate in the same way that you 'split' gold with them)

my suggestion is that you group with a few guildmates to do this quest and let them know you're doing it to get the green drop.

good luck to ya.

43 runs with a single healer henchmen and 0 daggers ;p I hate my luck!

and it finally tells me "if you continue to kill the first few monsters in a map then rejoin the map, the monsters will stop dropping loot as often..." I give up, anyone have these daggers for sale ? ^^

I've seen 15k as a common price for them, which sounds fine to me, though also as high as 25k.

moral of the story: dont take henchies
there was a thread on here who told you hte exact build on how to solo this guy, and trust me, its very effective.
i can get atleast oen set of daggers every 15-30 minutes, constantly farming it

@ Sirus Dibley: LUCKY BASTARD!!!!

@Iceyx: if u kill him 10 times in a row, just stop.... he wont drop them u need to run through the whole map kill everything, amybe go do a mission... and then he will have loot again


@varous other ppl: NO HENCHIES! they screw up what drops you get, and how often, and how good.... best to learn to solo em

5 runs alone, 2 dagger drops. Just to be careful, I also take out all Jade groups (they're in groups of two mostly) that dont have a Ritualist in them. This should prevent the anti-farming trigger no ?

While we're on the topic, does anyone know how the Anti-Farm actually works? Any idea how many times you have to farm a zone before it kicks in? Does it only happen if you farm the same type of mob, or just any mobs in a specific zone? If you switch to another zone for farming, will Anti-Farm wear off for the first zone you farmed in?

you can solo xuekao fairly easy if you keep him blinded. otherwise, bring only a monk hench and make sure the aggro is on you.
