torric what do use to render? divx create?
i use both atm, but i might try swapping dolyak for another attack skill and see how it goes.. could always do with goin a bit faster!
does everyone else jus turn the drops into materials? i keep mine and sell it at the shop dunno which way is more profitable tho?
be dynamic in your route, dont jus try and go the way you went last time cos it might be harder, and jus take it slow, or if theres no way if u can see a clear spot past the skales, aggro them let em run towards u then sprint thru em, usually they stop chasing before they've evn left ur bubble then stop as soon as u can and spam heal sig til ur back to normal..
also u dont need any points in inspiration u can put those points in ur weapon or tactics for healing.. i dont use any and have no probs with the base length of 30 seconds..

I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit videos. And I'm pretty friggin frustrated right about now
About the drops. I usually Identify all unids, check the staves and bows for highly salvagable mods and normal salvage accordingly. Along with the glittering dust I get I can easily make 250 Vellum a week

If you want to keep your Dust for crafting, make Deldrimor Steel.

Has anyone done this w/ just physical resistance? I'm thinking of brining disrupting chop and replacing watch yourlself for it. Reason is that I'm farming something else after spiders, and DC would make it loads easier.
Oh and I have already super absorb and a -2 shield, along w/ ascalon helm.

Finally got the video all done
The original gamecam recording was about 400 megabytes. I managed to cram it down to 80, and consequently the quality suffered. I fast-forwarded the video 90% faster than normal to comply with song duriations and size limitations. The original run took almost exactly 40 mintues.
http://files.filefront.com/SpiderRun.../fileinfo.html
And here is a link to the same video but better quality. Nearly double the size of the first one so I would not recommend it for 56Kers.
http://files.filefront.com/SpiderRun.../fileinfo.html
This is my first time messing around on Premiere Pro so dont expect anything too special
Anyways, Enjoy.
:edit: Forgot to add. My attributes were 15 Axe, 14 Tactics and 4 Strength. I usually run the build with 12 tactics and 7 inspiration which gives me about 55 seconds during which I dont have to worry about renewing physical resistance.
:edit: Also just in case you are wondering why I seem to insist on keeping my health above 50% it is because I am using a 14^50 axe.

Durr? What armor is that in his Avatar? What are those numbers in this post above yours for?
God's Will
just because there is glads in his sig doesnt mean he used glads for the run....
and the numbers he gave were attributes not what runes he used.

It's not really difficult to figure out something that works for you. Bring as much damage reduction as you can. With physical resistance that's a stance shield, superior absorbtion, and 1 piece of knight's. Run a good amount of tactics - I run it at 12 because Watch Yourself breakpoints at 10 seconds there. Max out axe, and split the rest between strength and inspiration.
Seriously, you're going to need to try it out before you can do it anyways, so spend some time thinking about it and figure out what might work.

the FoW is a place in the game. If im not mistaken, the Tyrian Explorers League caption says:

The first UW solo about 55ing I saw in this forum, so I figured this would be the best place to put it. PvEing is the focus of Tyrian Explorer's League, so it made sense.

My name gets spelt wrong more often then right, don't worry about it. People will probably recognize it spelt incorrectly than correctly anyway.
Lord Critikus
Right after i read this post and went down to FoW beach and tried this. It took me like 7k to learn how to do it but i think its ALOT easier if your a W/Me simply because phisycal resistance. With this build i took FoW beach+Cave might take you a lot less because at beach i only pull 3 spiders towards me at once .These are my skills
1.Physical Resistance
2.Cyclone Axe
3.Cleave
4.Penetrating Attack
5."I Will Survive!"
6."Watch Yourself"
7.Sprint
8.Healing Signet
My stats are.... (Not incluiding 15 point attribute quests)
Inspiration Magic:4
Strenght:10 (9+1)
Axe Mastery:12 (10+2)
Tactics:12 (9+3)
I use a Victo's Axe and the collectors 45/2 stance shield or a Grognar's defender.
NOTE:I am not posting this to criticize Racthoh. I simply did this to post an axe build other than a sword build....

TheYellowKid
for my axe build i use
1. Sprint
2. Cyclone Axe
3. Cleave
4. Executioners Strike
5. Physical Resistance
6. Dolyak Signet
7. Watch Yourself
8. Healing Signet
I did try without Watch Yourself and sub'd in penetrating but found i had to heal loads more and i prefer to attack more then i heal.
My stats are:
Strength: 11
Axe Mastery: 11
Tactics: 15 or 16 (cant remember, but i use a sup rune)
think those stats are right but im not sure 100% but that works fine for me i might try swapping the sup tactics rune for a sup axe mastery (or even both at once!!) and see how it goes. But that build atm works fine and i can take on all the spiders at once without breaking a sweat..
so far racthoh u've made me about 100k, thanx!

With about 20 spiders attacking you the couple points of damage add up quickly, plus when you do need to heal your minus 40AL obviously and during this time i was seeing 6's and 7's from some. All this means i need to heal more then if i bring watch yourself plus if anything happens and i need to heal when dolyak is off i can put on watch yourself and its not as big a problem.
So like i said before i'd rather bring watch yourself and heal less then have an extra attack

You should be using that every four hits.

I would recommend getting a group together and experiencing the area first hand rather than rely on a video showing how it is done.

or if you have some cash around like other people said it will take you a few K to get use to it. Sold some IDS's and practice untill it became second nature.
Took me about a total of 20k to get the run down and then 1-2k to do clear the tunnle of spiders.... wasted 5k or more trying (attemping) to kill them ancent scales things ***Note*** to self run past*** I'm likeing the "Physical Resistance" over the "Watch your self"

DoctorEvil
I never even watched the video. Racthoh, posted a link to a guide by Ubermancer, which describes where to go very clearly. I didn't even read the whole thing, just the beginning on how to get to the beach. Combined with some of the screen shots Racthoh posted, you should be able to figure it out with a couple of runs.
There is a learning curve here for novice Farmers (like myself). It took me a half dozen trips just to figure out how to get to the cave entrance. Running past the Shadow Army takes a few tries to figure out which direction to go, where the safe spots are, etc....The tunnel to the beach where you fight your first set of Driftwoods also might take a couple of tries as either Shadow Dudes or Skales sneak up on you when your fighting. Then of course you need to practice getting by the Skales, which is usually pretty easy but bad spawns can make it much harder. Then once you figure that all out, you get to practice with the actual Spiders.
My advice to people trying this run for the first time is to just go out and try it, make the mistakes, then come back and refer to the guides and figure out what you need to do different. Practice, practice, practice......
That being said, this is a very fun solo run. I've been playing around with it for weeks now and throughly enjoy it for the challenge alone.......and the gold Shadow Blades and Chaos Axes It's terribly addictive!

I've found that Dolyak Signet extends the run by quite a bit, just on the basis of moving after killing taking a long time. In addition, most of your damage is from poison, so it's not like it helps there. Shields Up! is the better option, imo, and it has the added benefit of letting you spec next to nothing in Strength. I also dislike Cyclone Axe - it being energy based clashes with Shields Up and Physical Resistance.
My final build:
1. Shields Up
2. Cleave
3. Penetrating Blow,
4. Executioner's Strike
5. Physical Resistance
6. Watch Yourself
7. Healing Signet
8. Sprint
5 Inspiration, 4 + 1 Strength, 12 + 4 Axe, 11 + 1 Tactics
I'd take out Watch Yourself too, but it's useful for Dryder fighting.

Not if you use a Zealous mod, it doesn't. Using Cyclone and PR, I never run out of energy and except immediately after using PR I'm rarely if ever below 20. There's plenty of room for another energy skill in there; before I began using two Superior runes I used Thrill of Victory for a time with good results.
jackie
I've cleared the beach & cave quite fast with the usual axe build when getting the spiders to as big groups as possible (+10 spiders) and preventing springs with cyclone axe.
jonnybegood
how often do you have to use cyclone axeto prevent thos damn springs?
