I love that spot, always will.

Before I discovered griffons, I kill the grawls outside of port sledge. Each trip out there would yield dozens of them, and I would average 4-5 blue, purple and the occasional gold armor each run. Mind you, you can't rely on enchantments for the grawls and it takes a while to clear.

I'm curious, why are they hitting you for so much?

One thing... Use Balthazar's Spirit instead of Live Vicariously.
Else the setup is perfect.
At least for skills.
Can't see if you use the right axe/shield, runes, attributes and armor though.

wouldn't balths spirit cause his energy tp degenerate with 3 constant enchantments being on him, and eventually they would fail unless he is constantly taking dmg?

How'd you get 27 energy with dragon armour (in the second picture)?
I'd like to get the extra energy on my platemail cos I think the gladiator armour looks really ugly and I only use it to farm.

Cyclone Axe, Bonetti's Defense, Balthazar's Aura, Symbol of Wrath, Healing Hands, Vigorous Spirit, Live Vicariously, Balthazar's Spirit.

Only problem, can't run too long.

Always a problem, devourer's. And this isn't really a farming 101. It's just pictures. lol You should try to take on bosses and dev's all at once.

Why is there a new thread for this? Everyone and their dog has posted farming threads months ago, use the search button please and keep our forum clean so it doesn't go down again!

I would also like to add that if I never hear or read that pathetic word, "noobz" (and all its variant spellings), again as long as I live it will be just fine with me.

A general note: using that word does not actually make people think you are knowledgable or experienced. Often, even exclusively, it's quite the opposite.

On topic: although the build is an old one, yes, it's quite effective.

That's outside augury rock in Prophet's path.

Honestly don't like killson's attitude about it either. Bet you have a better axe? I'll bet my whole account that you don't. Anyways, really, this isn't a farming 101 for "noobs." Don't brag about something that isn't really worth bragging.

Looks awefully familiar... except that I made it work with hundred blades



I've reworked the build several times and now use a shot-gun double-smite AE in light of the Balt-Aura nerf. This set-up can kill indefinitely and has no problem with bosses or rockshots (though they're still more trouble to kill than their drops are worth). I'll post a more current picture once I get the chance.

hmmm maybe you dont know what the word noob means? its just to show the people who havent seen it befor because i always give the gold items that i dont use away and people always aske me where i get them. so i had an idea maybe people can see the build and the spot . they will be able to do it them selfs...
