This is currently my favorite farming location for my 55!



I use the same build I use for The Gates of Kryta with an exception. Since this run is chock-full of Barbed Traps, Bramble spirits and the elite spirit Lacerate I made a tweak. I drop my protection attribute down a couple notches and raise my divine favor so as to get a +30% bonus on enchantment duration and also carry a weapon with a +20% enchantment mod. This helps keep the Shield of Judgement up longer but more importantly will keep Healing Breeze going longer as you will be under the conditions of bleeding and more degen related to bleeding from Lacerate. Also the prolonged Protective Spirit helps because there are Barbed Traps EVERYWHERE!




Once you're set up take the Arborstone exit!



Once you enter you will see a rez shrine with multiple NPC's. Do not do business with them such as gaining a blessing or buying use of the pad as they will attach like henchies and rob you of drops (that's what I hear anyways...better safe than sorry).



Once you head out the door you will see two patrols wandering around across the way in front of you. Run out there and get them! They will both agro onto you.




After dispatching those mobs continue forward and up the ramp where you will find more mobs (2) down the hall way and up a flight of steps.





Once those mobs have been dispatched turn around and go back the way you came...



Take your very first right and go across the bridge. There are a couple archer mobs up here but for sake of TRYING to keep this short I will dispatch the one that happens to be in my way.




Now we continue on..forward down the ramp on the other side and taking a right into a hallway where you'll find the next mob.





Pick up your drops and continue forward! at the end of this hallway is a staircase leading down. There is a mob directly at the bottom and another one to the right. To make it go quicker I will run by the first mob drawing their agro until I get the agro from the mob at the right and kill them both at once.





Once those two mobs have been mashed you will turn the corner left and cruise through a bit of a winding passage (always keep to your left as you go)




When you come out the other end there will be a room with a rez pad and two more mobs that need some attention. This is where you rez if you happen to get whacked when you are anywhere in this run.





Continue forward...only one way you can go and dispatch that next mob!




as you continue on a short distance you will come to another staircase leading down to a landing. You will see 3 mobs. AVOID the huge mob to the right as the Warden of Earth will kick your carapace! You want to take the smaller mob in the middle and then the smaller mob to the left (also on another staircase that goes down into the water)





Now get in the water and travel across to the other mobs patrolling the water. On the other side of the water is another staircase leading up out of the water with another mob on or near it. Dispatch them all with extreem prejudice!






Once to the top of this last staircase you will see a path winding up the side of a hill. That is where we find our last mob before we take on the Warrior boss!





Now it's boss time! Through the double doors and at the top of the stairs you will find him...but beware! Don't venture too far past the top of the stairs to get agro on him because big nasty pop-ups are in those pillars! Get to close and the pillars will crumble letting loose his pals and they will make life very difficult for you!



So if he isn't close to the top of the stairs, where you are, then take out one of the long bows you got as a drop and plink him once to get his attention!



If you're lucky, as I happened to be on this run, he will drop you a nifty green hammer!




Now the run is done! On this run I got The Stonebreaker, Black Dye & a Superior Sword Rune among piles and heaps of Tanned Hides, Warden Horns and all those Amber weapons that salvaged into a ton of Dust. Got better than 9k on that run.

I picked up 18 Warden Horns on this run (25g each selling to merchant). There so happens to be a collector in Ruins that takes Warden Horns. Here are a few of the nice items he will trade you for 5 horns. It's a great way to get some gear for your heros!




*TIP: when you go on this run try to be as empty as you can before going in. There will be a ton of drops. Also bring 2 basic salvage kits to crush all those amber weapons down into dust. Make sure you have 25 or more uses on your Expert Salvage kit to use on armor drops for Leather Squares, Steel Ingots and Rune removal.

**Tip #2: All those piles of Glittering Dust and Tanned Hides can be crafted into Elonian Squares and sold to a Rare Material Merchant for a profit as well.

There it is! Sorry for ALL the screenies but I wanted you to see what kind of drops you would be getting. This one here is a great money maker. Hope it helps someone!

Thanks for really nice guide Boneman.
I have got lots off tanned hides and other stuff + gold.

Bitchen walkthrough Bone, GJ!

can i just ask can i farm in HM it's really hard becouse foes just go away from you. soo i just want to know is it possible or not and if it is how. thx ^^

Yes, I do HM there using the 55 monk or 55 necro. I'll use the Spoil Victor build on either.

Great walkthrough Bone! Thank you much!

i don't know i just can't kill that sprong warden or warriors in HM becouse they keep running away from me thx again for great tour it really works ^^ and all other farming tips boneman thx^^

Spring Wardens are tough in HM especially when there are 2 in a mob together. Thats why I like going Necro in HM as I can spread the Hexes around and they cant heal everything fast enough.

New 55 build out... look for the 105 rit build on pvx wiki. Ive only farmed the bergen hot springs area, so gonna try this area next. Thanks for the pictures.

Nice, gonna have to try this.

Edit: Devastating Hammer FTL. Wonder if they updated the area since the initial post.
