W/X FoW Spider Farmer
XeNoGeArZ
Well I will do more runs tonight if we ever get favor. Mainly though since I've only gotten drops from the ACS, I've focused my data only on THEM. My "goal" is to get some calculated data for GUILDWIKI, similar to how there is drop rate data for the Aatxes (which I posted the link above). If I get drops from Driftwoods, Ill add them to the equation as a whole. Currently GuildWiki is down, so I cannot get information on what else they drop, but I know they can drop weapon items.

Someone bring me some news.
There is a 55 W/Mo uw solo, not sure how far he got in though. When I did it as W/Mo (not 55) I was able to do it, however it was far more difficult and luck was on my side.
Concerning shards... I'm content with the 4 or so I get every so often.

If you get 4 shards in a run be as happy as a pig in shit. Do not doubt the snarlings on the beach, I had 4 straight runs of getting either a shard or a gold item on the VERY first Snarling I met. Then again, I've had just as many times where they drop nothing at all.
Anyways XeNoGeArZ, I'd just say you're having some bad luck. Keep at it.

I suspect that, if they are dropping, they'll only be dropped by the Shadow Army. We won't get them farming, unless they maybe appear in chests.

dude i'm fine until the acs's i always die even wit watchful spirt and i try to pull them 3 at a time but they just wont, so they all aggro its really annoying. how do u kill these acs's? also, the skales are really annoying sumtimes they spawn everywhere and i cant go newhere lol

i got one today from a driftwood or dryder....
yassy_visera
I got 5 shards and 2 keys in one run hows that for luck?

Just a suggestion. It would be better to use a weapon with a damage +% mod while hexed. Someone might have already suggested that but I really dont have time to read through 30 pages

One successful run today - 2 shards, 1 key, and 1 sapphire. Not bad. Update didn't kill this run, and my beach spawn was so bad that the thrill of taking out six driftwood on the verge of being sandwiched between two skale groups was intense.
Embarked on a chest run later and one of the party members got a req8 14^50 shadow blade. Wow. I ended up with some crappy chaos axe and a jeweled chalice.
Go get 'em.

I've had a different thought on the build:
This has not been tested yet but; instead of healing signet and watch yourself, which both require tactics, i decided to switch them to vigorous spirit and live vicarously with 11 points on healing prayers. Along with a vamparic axe, i can dock about 27 hp/hit, i also thought of bringing flurry, in case i need that fast health boost. I m thinking about bringing cleave or eviscerate, executioner's strike, and penetrating blow for my main source of damage. then of course, i ll have sprint and dolyak signet.
Any comments? =)

I did this for the first time today, but died 3times in the run :|

I've been trying to do this for a while now but for some reason The stupid spiders do at least 3 dmg per call shot and with all the spiders wailing on me at the same time and poison going on, I usually cant keep up with it.

Are you wearing an Ascalon/Knight's Armour piece? And have at least a Major Absorption Rune on one piece of your armour?
On another note, does the anti-farming code kick in when you do the Spider Caves repeatedly? I was thinking it shouldn't, since a run usually takes a while, but I've been getting progressively lousy drops (4 Shards, 1 Black, 2 Keys on one, the next one I only got one Shard). maybe its just my crummy luck, but its best to make sure.
Oh, and despite the many runs (10+) i've done so far, I've only gotten 2 golds. Both of which were junk.

not really, those 2 shards alone cost 4x your entrance fee, although I do feel for you on that chest drop, chest drops really ain't worth for me, they suck ass. I can't imagine paying 1600(or 1200) for a key that'll give you a purple no mods item. Anet should really stop doing that ****. If they wanna stabilize the economy so much, then chest drops should be decent atleast some other times so people get good stuff easier.

When was the last time you played the game? Clean purple items stopped dropping months ago - maybe even at the same time as keys came in.

Any comments? =) If you're maintaining an enchantment and using a vampiric axe, you would need to have Balthazar's Spirit to maintain the energy for Flurry.
Concerning the anti-farming... guild went in last night in hopes to clear the place but a few of us lagged out and had to drop. We had gotten I believe it was 7 shards before even entering the temple of war. We restart, 1 shard by the time we've restored the temple of war. Whether or not that's just bad luck or what, but it seems like the anti-farming code kicks in once you go in a second time. Personally, I've been getting at least 3 shards a go and I never do more than one run at a time.

per how many hours? I don't get on during the weekends, so thats 48hrs the game will not have been touched, hopefully by sunday night the game's drops will favor me again and I get something. I did an UW run w/ a group and i got nill, absolutely nill when it comes to items. It was sad just to be there, good thing the other guy gave me something, otherwise I was basically tehre for experience.
I'll try this run later, probly do a axe build for the cyclone axe, just gonna get a zealous axe hilt.
Also is it possible to solo the skeleton army w/ a warr build? I really wanna kill those skeletons walking around.

I understand that it is. OTOH, I've never been able to get to the Forest solo. Does anyone have a route for getting there post-Cave that they could stick up?
dont feel no pain
geting to the forest isn't that hard , i just took a 12 sec sprint , be sneaky and take time.
btw : 1 run no shard O_O

It's not the method I need, it's the route.

Ok, I understand the need for the Glads Armor, but why does everyone remove a +20 piece in order to sub. a piece of Knights or Ascalon armor? It seems to me that the +20 would be better then then +10 piece.
sheepysheepy
well i do this run with 4 peices of glads armor and major absorption and take 0-1 dmg, called shots can go up to 3 damage :/ thats not really troublesome, heal sig is your friend :P

-2 sheild -3 supior absorbtion -2 knights/ascalon armor thats 7 dmg u dont need to take make with 3+ spiders hitting you, you dont need that 7 extra dmg and the other +20 armor doesnt stack gg

the legs and seeds can cover entrance fee if you are able to clear out the entire cave, the shards are extra, but mainly its time spent farming this area. if you take a long time and dont get many shards, you might as well farm for money and buy the shards. good thing is i think shard prices are rising; bad thing is that europe has had favor for a long time.
i've been using an axe build someone posted a few pages back trying to tweak it to be as efficient as possible. sprint/dolyak/heal sig/pentrating/cleave/exe strike/phy resist/cyclone axe. even using a vampiric axe when things are easy. i also don't do more than two runs, simply because when my eyes are glued to the skill bar the whole time and for 45mins+ you really need a break. and by the time i get out of fow, someone has taken favor.
i'm thinking of taking a mate with me to see how that works out. btw if anyone is running a similar axe build and wants to do this dual, send me a PM. split the cost of entrance. and double team this

I went in with a mixed guild group last night and we saw 23 shards, 2 sapphires and a gold shadow blade drop. XD We did clear most of it though. Perhaps the shard drop rate was increased to accomodate for the addition of shard costs to the monk and nec armors?

My best on this beach run was 6 shards, a max gold chaos axe (+16 whilst hexed, req 10), a max gold shadow bow (+12 in stance, req 8 from a chest), 1 obsidian key. Not including merchant fodder which usually rakes in a consistant 2.5 to 4k. I have to say, that one had me grinning all the way through it ('haaay! another shard!')
My worst run? Well, nothing. No shards. No keys. 1 or 2 crappy purples and just all round merchant fodder. Even my worst runs however can make more than the entrance fee so its never a complete waste. Its up and down though. So to Raxxman and some others who are feeling cheesed off, try it again later - you may get luckier and score a motherload of phat lewtz.

I don't understand one thing, people basically say "soloing FoW," and since I'm new to this - is soloing spiders [all in all] the same thing? Or is this build specifically to kill one monster in that huge zone we call the Fissure of Woe?

would the Reduce Damage from Attacks stack if i use wyveryn helm, kight's boots, and ascalon leggings or chest? because i tried it with glad armour and i m taking 7 damage with major absorption

As the armours say, they don't stack.

If you do take axes pick disrupting chop, allows you to kill the shadow patrols of 1 monk, 2 warriors
Opeth11
Quick question - Which helm do I use?
I know, this may have been answered before, but this is 32 pages long and it's 3:30 o.o As of now I have Duelists Helm ~ +1 Sword Knights Gloves Gladiator's for everything else. Setup correct? yes? no? Thank you for your help. XeNoGeArZ
