Any skills and secondaries will work probably, just make sure you have a self heal, a running skill and some dmg. Sorry for discontinuity between screenshots, they were taken on different runs.

1) First, Go out the North exit of Imperial Sanctum. Take Kuunavang's skill.

2) Go straight ahead , down the stairs and at the res shrine on the left, turn left and go forward. There should be no enemies infront of you at this point.

3) Go a little to the left and up and down the ramp-thing.

4) The enemies infront of you now will move to the left over time so when you see fit, run and turn right.


5) Go down the ramp and hug the left wall, sprinting past or not depending on the spawn of enemies.


6) Down the big hill and see some enemies down there, amongst 2 sets of stairs. Put on troll unguent and sprint down the stairs until you are out of aggro, and still haven't broken aggro with the next group.



7) Wait till the next group goes right, sufficiently so that you can get into the little square with lanterns and stuff in the middle. They will go down that alley all the way till the end, and it's your choice to run past them or not.


8) If you didn't run past them, follow them until they reach a slightly larger space. Wait a few moments and they will turn right and go down the ramp. This is your opportunity to go past them and up the ramp on the other end. At the top, there is a res shrine.



9) Turn left and you see the first blue sphere and the warrior boss. He is bugged so that he only does healing signet and doesn't chase you. Use both attunes and kill him with the damage you have. Celestial Storm {C} will be back up after you kill him (luckily enough).


10) ASAP, wait till the groups in the large hall split far enough away from each other and run through them to the opposite side of the hall, where Koosun is. Before you reach the group there, straf left a bit until you can hit him through the wall of his "cell" but his group isn't in your circle.



11) Kill him like Kai and happy hunting!


Have fun getting money like crazy And props to DvM for the ideas (albeit slightly crude ideas )

With a warrior would you just run and kill him or is he one of those overpowered bosses?

Lol Me/N and N/Me are the easiest builds to do this run with
For Kai take Ignorance, and for Kooson take some enchant strip (shatter is my fav).
I'd imagine that elemental resistance would be necessary for warriors to take on the ele, or maybe silver armour. But I have been assured by a guildie that doing it with a warrior is possible.

With a warrior, it is possible to kill him. Click on his name, while in the cubby hole next to him and sprint in so that the other group doesnt aggor you. When next to him just keep doing damage and power drain his skills, drain enchant silver armor and humility the star burst. Takes longer than usual but its wtill possible.

I've killed these two about 20 times and NADA. Got about 10 jade orbs though. I just gotta say, if you don't have a run skill, this is very dependant on where several mobs spawn.

Baaah, thanks for posting my money source
Anyways, just wanted to note that you can also kill Untouched Ancient Ky. Though his item is not too great (which of the Ancient Items actually is?). Though you must adjust your build to bring some sort of interrupt to stop him from casting spellbreaker.

has anyone gotten these guys to drop their greens since the holiday event? I don't think I've kicked in anti farm because they do keep dropping every other color.

I tried it this morning and only managed to get the sword to drop. Tried it about 15 times afterwards, no dice.

Something is up or just a mass of people reading this and drying out the area maybe?

Also, if we go in and kill these 2 bosses, would the anti-farming code kick in still?

As far as I know, through personal experience, the farming code doesnt kick in. Yesterday, i did about 30 runs and not once did either boss drop "bad" loot (i.e nothing/ one white weapon). I don't know if it's the same for everyone, but thats how it's like for me.

Koosun is a pushover compared to Kai. Sometimes (somehow) celestial storm does only 14x4 dmg per second and that isnt enough to kill him. Most of the time it does 19x4 dmg per sec and that kills him quite easy. I say if you can't kill Kai, just move on and try Koosun.

Kai always dropped a jade wind orb and some weapon. Koosun usually drops nothing. BTW I got 2 Kai's swords, but no Koosuns staves. And Kai's swords aren't so great.

i cant seem to get past the group between Kai and Koosun. They always spawn too close to the middle of the room...

What is the price on Kai's anyways? The only thing good about the sword is the skin IMO, everything else is kind of "bleh".

I still have not gotten the staff to drop.

I got about 7 Kai's. Sold the blighters for a mere 30k each. People want them a little bit I spose...

Also, for a monk just take smiting and then some heals. Might want a ranger secondary for... running or ... stuff... yeah, use your discretion

Just hang around a bit after you kill Koosun and wait. He will come out of the portal and run over to Koosun's room only to find all of his buddies dead.

If what you guys are saying about getting golds/purples/greens from these guys is true then I can only conclude that this has been nerfed like there's no tomorrow. I just beat Factions with my ele and tried it, the best I got was a blue scroll, and got 0 drops from Koosun on most runs.

The price has gone down massively to as low as 35k, and for me, this is a personal victory. I can't stand this staff, as green as it may be, selling for 60k+. I mean, the buyers could easily spam "WTB: 2x +30hp wrapping/head" and buy the stave from the craftsman. This is the only reason I made this thread. Hate me if you will.

I agree. If the skin was somewhat unique...but nonetheless..still a good Green to have. Not too sure about the resell.
