Ember Light Camp Farming

I created a new Monk build to farm the Ember Light Camp.
It's based on a 77sec spellbreaker and I used other farming tricks like changing armor during battle. A nice thing about this farming spot is that you can trade the collector items for golden scrolls.
I also got a couple of nice golden staffs over there.

I hope you like the music! It's a bit weird

The drops are usually very nice. I just farmed way too often that day!

I can never view your guild's videos. Always freezes Firefox for me.

My Firefox works fine on our page. Try IE or just use
this direct link.

But I think our page is well worth a visit!
So if someone wants to link one of our videos please use
http://www.darkpalace.de/GuildWars/guildwars.html

FTW as well, I'm sick of people ripping IE and saying FireFox just owns all. Big props to b0nes for his good solo farm builds, and his music rocks your world

I think Firefox rules!
<- hates Microsoft because they seek absolute control of Pcs and like to spy on customers

@Artemis89
Glad you like the vid and the musik!
But it's not my music but ScareCrow's (www.rip-factor.com)
I loved the tune when I heard it and had to use it!

Nice Video, but tough to get the timing correct.

Just tried it twice, its a good farming method. However, do share with us what kind of drops u get. (i.e. did u get golds, purps?) All i see myself getting is blues and whites. Perhaps i didnt farm enough or lousy luck.

I switched the Bal Aura to zealot fire - it means i spam protspirit and healing breeze very often to kill. More healing (from divine favour) this way

Can some one toss me a program that will actually play this? Windows Media always says that my video files are corrupted

Very nice! (but my monk is still in Droknar's Forge - lvl 7)

But a question, what 8 skills are that?

I am not that good in German, I saw those:
Mending
Healing Breeze
Balthazaars Aura

What are the other 5?
And what is the armor you are wearing, and the Rod/Staff/Ankh-etc.
And do you need to die the first time to get 8hp or so?

Ty, I love this build I think, and I really wanna try it. But, long way to go for me.

@2_fingers
The timing is really quite hard. Farming here is a lot harder than for example griffons. It's guess it's as hard as soloing FoW.
The drops are quite nice. I farmed half a day and got ~90platin. The nice thing is, because the mobs are lvl 24 they drop like 110g compared to the 70g that griffons do. I usually get like 2 purple items a run.

I tried out a few things yesterday and found a set of skills that's a lot safer. I tested a few zealot fire builds as well, but I find them a bit slow.
With these skills one run is about 2:50min.

Mo/Me
weapons:
1. sword/axe of enchanting
2. Max Staff (to finish off the last 1-2 almost dead hydras )

Devine favor : 15-16 (depends on your enchantment mod)
Healing : 9
Smiting : 13
Protection: 11


Protective Spirit
Guardian <- big improvement over mending
Healing Breeze
Arcane Echo
Spellbreaker
Balt. Aura
Balt. Spirit
blessed aura


@The Oracle
Glad you like the video
Skills, attribute levels and weapons can all be seen in the video.
Or just look above for an improved version.
If you just want some easy money kill those griffons.
For me it was more about the farming challenge to be able to farm these mobs.

Great Work!
Love the video and music!

But I'm not sure if 'The Campfire' is the right place for this.
I rather look here for builds, not for videos.
Is there no better place for this?

'Krieger' is german for warrior.
If he wrote 'krieger' and not 'Krieger' he's not german!
'Von' is a german title of nobility.

Nice video man, I've tried it a few times, can't seem to get the timing right though.

LBS, was in HOz...CS:S clan is #CoreEffect

Focus Item = Quest from Ascalon, "Citys of Ascalon"

80hp = all sup runes, except for 1 major, and the focus item.

once i kill most of the griffons/minos, i normally chnage my armor back to all sup, to prevent any chance of dying.

great build, thanks

Just play some Pve first before you start farming. It doesn't take long really to get lvl20. Then you could eather farm some runes
or ascend,
change to W/Mö and farm some griffons.
Btw, dying is an integral part of farming here. If you get into monk-farming you will understand it sometime.

Nice idea! I guess 77sec spellbreaker is great for running.

There is no way to farm hydras and flesh golems as a mo/w because you need spellbreaker for the whole time you are fighting. The only non-elite way to do it is to arcane copy it. So you have to be mo/me.
But of course mo/w is great for farming in general.
You could farm griffons or FoW for example. ^^
