Guild Wars - E/Me Gold Weapons / Glacial Stones Farming Hard Mode (Terra Tank)

[deathorama]

how does it come when i use mantra of earth i start taking dmg???

[nathangoossen]

man i like this farming hop it wont be nerfd )lol shadow form is then hop this not

[CSchar]

excellent vid. ur build is way better than pvx. but, more importantly, what on earth is this song? its incredible

[Rox94rox94rox94]

nice build i got obsidian armor and chaos gloves with it by farming 3h a day for 45 days :D

[BloodyYester]

howmuch are chaos gloves going these days??

[4seraphiel4]

not meaning to sound like a know it all but this farm is a lot faster using sliver armor.

[CharlieCharlton1989]

@4seraphiel4

Vaetiers have a +100 or more base AR to Elemental damage, at the time, this was the meta, it worked, there was no need for sliver as it just causes scatter

[4seraphiel4]

try it with a sliver build using intensity and light of deldrimor, then compare the times. only one or two scatter away and if u hit them with ure staff then they come straight back in.

[runedemon24]

@4seraphiel4

ofc its going to be faster, it has pve buff, note the build i used isn't rank bias :/

it was invented early in eotn release when most people barely had the ranks let alone the skills

I hate using pve skills, ruins the game, makes it too easy :)

[runedemon24]

@4seraphiel4

but yes, your right, inc pve buffs, it would be faster

[Rox94rox94rox94]

does this till work or is it nerfed :S?

[CharlieCharlton1989]

still works fine :)

[Zalivar]

Thanks for making the vid.

Yes, I am the selfobsessed greedy - other words i can't think of - maker of this build (At least the one on PvX and at least i was the first one there :) )

Just wanted to leave a note ^.^

[IbanStronginthearm]

You thinks its possible to aggro everything in the area then use crystal wave, tenais crystals, arcane combo?

[CharlieCharlton1989]

Its possible, but i prefer not too, im a supersticious type..

[IbanStronginthearm]

Hehe coolies. This may trouble you then: could I micro a hero to do this? This seems like one of if not the best farm for norn rep and I'm a R/Any (if theres a build for that please say as I cant find one) :P

[CharlieCharlton1989]

I'd imagine its possible on the surface, but it would be stupid difficult i think, lol

[IbanStronginthearm]

I've scrapped that idead lol. I've been playing around with skills (theory mind you xP) and found a build that I *think* should work. Granted I have a 0.6sec time window in which things could get nasty. If it works I might try and shove the build on PvX wiki and mayb etry and get a video to shove on here.

And yes, I am stubborn lol

[dcedilotte]

Is that a new Machinae Supremacy song? If not, can you give the title pls.

[CharlieCharlton1989]

called Need for Steve by Machinae Supremacy from the Overworld album

[dcedilotte]

Thanks dude. :)

[420187420]

was that a lag when u killed them or did u slow the vid for a dramatic effect?

[darkblade1001]

build looks sweet cant wait to try! XD

[joshwah03]

how come you can't just run from sifhalla?

[CharlieCharlton1989]

shorter/safer route that you can do without any possibility of aggro

[TheGrimReefer12]

You said you don't use this run anymore, so if you don't mind me asking, what is your best Elementalist run and how much do you usually make per run?

[CharlieCharlton1989]

well from memory i used to get alot of Forget me nots and useful shield inscs, this is just the old form of keg farming

[ottolf]

Looks good to me, I'm going to have to try this in-game.

I can see Arcane Echo, Obsidian Flesh, Stoneflesh Aura, Glyph of Swiftness(I think), Mantra of Earth and Storm Djinn's Haste. But what are the first two skills you are using?

[ottolf]

Crystal Wave and Teinai's Crystal, right?

[CharlieCharlton1989]

yes, Crystal wave, Tenais crystals

[henrik91bergen]

name of song anyone please say!

[CharlieCharlton1989]

Machinae Supremacy - Need for Steve

[Uhmmm100]

U don't have to be r8 but he was meaning that if you were accidentally doing the run in NM and were rank 8 you wouldn't be able to receive the blessing.

[atik48]

why do you have to be r8 norn?

[AbulurdHarkonenn]

Yessir, im in HM. And No I'm only R.1 Norn on my ele lol.

[CharlieCharlton1989]

go talk to the norn story teller in gunnar's hold :)

[IamFFa500]

have you 'killed' him yet? like fought him to have him give you the bonus? If not, just go kill him in NM then try again

[AbulurdHarkonenn]

Hey did they nerf this so that Jarnskeggi won't give his little norn bonus anymore... or how do I trigger the ability to receive it?

[CharlieCharlton1989]

i'm going to make 2 suggestions, 1 - are you in HM

2 - are you over r8 norn?

[xXvencoXx]

how many glacial stones do you get per run?

[CharlieCharlton1989]

i get anything from 0-4 stones per run, but i didn't do this for the stones :)

[HighDefCam]

Try keg farming, this run sucks.

[CharlieCharlton1989]

No, Wrong

This run doesn't suck, its origonal and its not entirely brainless.. if i want to keg farm, i might aswell go do underworld, its just as aeffortless, and besides, i dont even DO this run anymore, ive found other ways, better than assassin or mesmers with Shadow Form crap, at farming MY way.

[MIHAP0]

yah ... well besides keg farming got nerfed ... -.- ... i'm gonna try this one in a few mins ... :P ... i like how it looks from what i see

[colinthegreat12345]

Keg Farming Got NERFED!

[xxblazedheroxx]

i'm bout to get eotn ... so i was checkin out farms ... & i think glacial gloves look nice & umm about how many glacial stones and golds do u get a run

[CharlieCharlton1989]

it Varies, from 0-3 golds per run (more oftern than not decent golds) and glacil stones wise the most ive had is 5 in one run

[CharlieCharlton1989]

Sheepltbc

This build has NOT been nerfed!

I have used it since, a few times, and its still as easy and profitable as ever.

Sorry about a delayed reply

[SheepItbc]

does this build still works?

I heard that the E/Me D-Core farm build is nerfed and dosent work anymore. did ArenaNet do the same thing with this?

Good Vid, btw! :)

[CharlieCharlton1989]

as far as i know, this build hasnt been nerfed, its not too common amongst elementalist farmers due to the run there, some people would prefer them to spawn by a portal - ill have to take a look though!

thanks -=Void=-

[SheepItbc]

okey! I'm probably gonna try this build then :)

btw, whats the skill in slot 8?

[CharlieCharlton1989]

Storm Djinn's Haste, its used to run there but you can also use it to move around whilst under the effects of terra tank due to the -60%-ish movement restrictions

[cctyler659]

what is this song its pretty sweet

[CharlieCharlton1989]

its called A Need for Steve by Machinae Supremacy

[virusalexs]

yo void..wazzap...haven't seen u arownd for some time....cheers

[CharlieCharlton1989]

I just thought i'd tepp everyone, dont know why, but i ALWAYS get -5/20 mods for shields/foci here, in my 3rd run today, i got 2 focuses (2 mesmer -butterfly mirror) both had -5/20 mod and a shield with a -2/stance mod, prob one of my most profitable runs, ^^

peace out :P

Void

[CharlieCharlton1989]

i'll also add there are 60 vaetiers in this area and for every kill you get 300 experiance, 300 x 60 = 18,000 experiance per run :) good for skill point and fast experiance farming, i do NOT advise it for Survivor forming though, as they are mesmers afterall, if you cast Obby Flesh too late then you get a harsh degen or if you ignore your Stoneflesh, you REALLY do not last long, i let my enchants fall once and i lasted about 3 seconds, (it takes about 3 seconds to cast Stoneflesh i think?)

[smokinbacon1]

wow, really nice. might have to try this myself. any good drops or is it just for massive norn rep lol?

[CharlieCharlton1989]

Glacial Stones, like destroyer cores but for different gauntlets are dropped, about 5-10 per run, i also get ALOT of mesmer tomes, around about 5-10 per run also, gold drops are also common :) they dont drop much cash though, normlly 2 piles of 100-150 per run, otherwise its good for norn rep if you want to solo it :)

[smokinbacon1]

oh very nice. taking my ele there just for this reason. =)

[crazycookie101]

Should Mention That its advised to Wear Your Norn title For More Hp ( although you clearly dont need to :P )

And woop I get a special Mention

*sway* :P

[CharlieCharlton1989]

hehe :)

and yes, i did use my norn title ;P although HP doesnt matter here at all :3
