Saw a bad trend today in the auctions. Seller posted 5 shells with no reserve. Sold them for about 3300 gold. I tried to bid them up but wasn't going to pay retail for something that I can farm.

I'm with Kvndoom. Let's keep the price at 1000 gold. Anyone benefiting from these builds, please don't dump cheap shells on the marketplace.

Quick question, what's the Worms' Elemental Resistance like? Been a good while since I fought any and am wondering if it would be worth investing in another sword for the job. And farming the desert seems a bit more entertaining than the bloody IDS runs, easy but you spend all day running to and fro and not enough time punching things

Wurms have a slimiar AL vs elements as thier AL vs physical. Very high. Thats why most builds here use armor ignoring attacks, and/or repeatedly apply conditions.

i got to say im loving this build kill fairly quick like 1-2 min to kill one and this is the product of just 4 runs and man 3 wurms at once is not fun really hard

Is there a trick for those giants with this warrior build? or are they monk exclusive?

Even if you do get 20 shells in a hard days work.... or lets even say you have an outstanding day and get 30..... thats only 20-30k per day... I can make that per Hour solo-farming with my necro.... either in uw, fow, oro, griffins, hydras, or even rune farming I average more than that... and if you just prefer farming with your tank... i still make more farming ettins, in SF, or IDS farming...

I dunno why everyone likes to farm these.... only time i farmed them was to get 5 for a shield i wanted... otherwise.. you can make alot more money in other ways.... don't get me wrong... its a very nice build, just not the best way to make money...

Oh and if you really are persistent on farming these things, instead of selling them for 1k each... get Crimpson Carapiece shield from collecter, takes 5 shells, thats 5k... and i have been able to sell them between 5-10k.... possible to make more of a profit at least

Where is that illusion chalice found, I know what I need to get, but I can't find the collector. I have every skill, I just don't have the chalice.

I love killing wurms!!!!! The more the better! Fought 3 at once last night. Sweet victory. 2 bleached sheels dropped. I used to run the clear-the- desert build with illusionary weapon and elemental resistance, but I guess I am too lazy to used that set up each time. Sometimes all I plan to kill is wurms and griffins.

I run this build. Very efficients on wurms and griffins. Illusionary weaponry build is slower but better if sand elementals and the echanted weapons are blocking your farm lands.

Sprint - mostly to speed up run and avoid enchanted bows, swords,etc
Desperation blow
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Gladiators
Dolyacts
Phyical Resistance
Healing Signet

Grab your armor, collectors shield, and a zealous blade of defense and watch them die. I usually run two superiors, Strength and Tactics.

Tactics 15- 16
Strength 12
Sword 9-10
Inspiration 4-5

If you really want to speed up wurm kill, drop sprint and gladiators and add sever artery and gash with a barbed sword. They bleed and keep a deep wound the whole time. Man, I love it when they gang up on me. Kiling one at a time is too quick.

Is platemail required to do this run is it feasible and understandable in length to just do glads?

Glads is fine.

You don't need mend ailment, you just have to be more intelligent than what you're dealing with and if you cant detect something is about to get in your aggro circle, you need to die anyway. I replaced it with sprint.

This is the best build I have come across for farming the Hydras in Skyward Reach..

Warrior/Elem

Tatics =16
Swordsmanship=11
Strength=9
Inspiration Magic=2
Sprint
Sever Artery
Riposte
Deadly Riposte
Victory Is Mine
Elemental Resistance
Dolyak Signe
Healing Signet

With this build, if you count all the steel ingots that I get from salvaging blues and whites, along with all the loot, I earn 20k per hour farming here.
I use Gladiator Armor, with Ssaki Sword, Kanaxai Edge Sword, and a Gold Fiery dragon Sword.. And Arrahhsh`s Shield...
However,you can use a basic sword and shield
