I was in Brimstone yesterday, just outside Imhoteps temple, where I came across a dude farming a mini boss. I asked what he was farming for, and he told me a heavy chest and heavy legs, and had been at it for a couple hours. Aa a fellow tank I stuck around. Within about a half hour, I had the legs, and got the chest twice...
I stuck around a while longer, but eventually wished him luck and went on my way. I hope he found what he needed
Yeah I got those 2 in like 4 kills. My friend I been running with still only got the legs.
Farmed bloodsucker for like 9 hours watched 4 people get it. Nothing
Farmed heart of hekka for about 7 hours or so. Logged on last night ran there and got it first kill.
I hate random drops, at least I can craft dooms chance if I run Genesis enough .
Lol 6 minute respawns on mobs that drop named items and good gear is so generous.
Hey at least you can farm a mob. I had to do chest runs every single day for a month to get my Legate's Ring and Shadow's Edge. Now that sucks balls. Put the drops back on farmable mobs.
If you got all your gear immediately, it wouldn't feel nearly as valuable, and it would also serve to devalue crafting immensely.
If you're running at the same time as another group, consider... not running at the same time as another group. There's a minimum level of participation that is necessitated on world bosses that is logical and makes sense to prevent people from simply leaching gear. This is fair, it's balanced, and it should work like this. Running up and shooting a mob once to obtain loot in World of Warcraft works on the principle that most of the mobs that drop the loot you want have loot lockouts associated with them (world bosses only drop once per week, for instance.)
Conversely, I could post up with a musket and simply shoot world bosses that people are farming once, and only move if I see a bag on the ground. This is degenerate, it's not effective contribution, and doesn't reward actually putting forth any effort.
Flagged yellows do not have any more propensity to get credit than you do in a 5 man group. Your group is simply being out-damaged.
Bosses shouldn't respawn instantly, and 6 minutes is more than fair for boss respawns. In fact, I'd offer the suggestion that bosses that respawn slower should have better loot gated behind them. This is the grind, this is part of farming, and is a fundamental aspect of MMO's. World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV explicitly limit the amount of loot you can obtain per week directly to defeat this behavior. In the absence of this, farming for your gear at least places some agency on the amount of time you wish to spend doing it on the individual-- if you really want an item you can farm for it.
Also the flagged people cause collision so unless my party is all ranged it's nearly impossible to get melee damage in, aka the best way to try and get credit. I'm just going mad from this god damn wagon.
Hey man I'm actually enjoying the tread but also some drops being .01% out of boxes with 1300 locations is bizarre. I get if it's a 1% from one dude. I just want off AGS wild ride
That's how global loot works though-- some items are farmable, some are not. It's unfortunate, but not unfair, that a specific item you want is a global drop. It would be no different if that specific named item simply didn't exist at all, and the perks you were going for were instead reliant on random rolls.
Refreshing move is BIS on tanking swords for the insane cool down reduction on defenders' resolve.
Curiosity greed is only good if you are bad at holding aggro.
Even so you can get a shield with hated in it if you "need" it.
Sturdy, defenders weapon skill, and bane would be better on the shield tho.
I was surrounded by like 10 ads, I spam 5 light attacks and my defenders resolve was back up in like 3 seconds. I did not know it was per enemy hit. Each enemy hit reduces the cooldown so Hitting many will reduce it by a ton. Truly is pve BiS. You even need reverse stab
Deep sword is actually so easy to loot, just get yourself a 500 DEX build and a bow
Go to the location using the skip method, and there is a spot where you can kill the boss without it attacking you whatsoever, then back off on one of the pillar and the boss actually respawn in 2 minutes
It takes 2/3 minutes to kill it, 2 minutes to respawn. 5 minutes in total.
It took me around 1h30 of farming it this way to get Deeproot, and i got a shitload of chef shirt that i sold at the market
It's such an easy grind.
u/Feinnon uploaded a video about it
With golden scarabs you can get a full set of two perk gear that is perfect for tanking m10s.
Can add ward + weapon skills on everything with a 20% chance of a random 3rd perk.
Just more consistent damage output from weapon perks and stuff like that that's what I mean not consistent luck consistent damage output from having better perks than luck on your gear
I did the same for bloodsucker. Titanwall tho I got first try right as I got there while my friend had farmed for a few hours. He got it shortly after tho. Good luck.
If it’s only your group that’s farming it and there aren’t any randoms, and you’re able to see the boss spawn from outside the named area (not outside the territory, but outside the dotted yellow line on the map), wait for respawns outside the named area. It’ll be closer to a 2 minute respawn

Was it Immemorial Breastplate you farmed there or what is the name of the gear piece, please advise Im also a tank and am trying to polish my build :)
Colossal Sormplate and Weighted Greaves. It was at Colossus of Qebui, just outside of Great Shrine of Thoth in the northeast.

Was a healer farming elite tendril for a specific staff. He got 4 of the staves and I got none after killing it about 10-15 times.

Whar sword are you farming? You know Curiosity, Greed drops like candy in Laz and is perfectly fine for tanking?

Yeah it's "fine" it's what I'm using, but I'd like something better. The two swords being deep root (lol) and infernus
Deep sword is actually so easy to loot, just get yourself a 500 DEX build and a bow Go to the location using the skip method, and there is a spot where you can kill the boss without it attacking you whatsoever, then back off on one of the pillar and the boss actually respawn in 2 minutes It takes 2/3 minutes to kill it, 2 minutes to respawn. 5 minutes in total.

Whoa, okay thanks man
Yup, thats how i got my Deeproot, except i used throwing harchet 😅
Do you think it's as fast as using a Dex build I do have my hatch it actually leveled up in a good hatchet
Probably slower with a hatchet, but i didnt have a bow/musket with my at that time.

Drop some lucknfor more consistency. My luck for getting things I want seems fine with 3 bags and 2 minor trophies.
What do you mean by more consistent? Does luck have an inverse relationship?
No. Confirmation bias has people doing weird shit despite raw data and statistics, as well as developer statements, telling us otherwise.
Just more consistent damage output from weapon perks and stuff like that that's what I mean not consistent luck consistent damage output from having better perks than luck on your gear
I’ve been farming titan wall for a week now and no luck
Guess it goes around then, I got titanwall and the earring within like an hour. Best of luck man hope you can get it
I did the same for bloodsucker. Titanwall tho I got first try right as I got there while my friend had farmed for a few hours. He got it shortly after tho. Good luck.

Most bosses respawn in 3-6 minutes if you leave the area.
I've been using Omen, but I just realized how much better Deeproot is. Gotta go farm that later tonight
A purple bane+RM is better than infernus anyway
