Elite Forest Breach Run

Hi guys! I’ve joined Elite Runners a month ago and I MUST say that I’m loving this guild so much! They taught me lots of stuff and guided me along the way and I’m really appreciate for what they’ve done for me, from here I would like to THANK all the guild member from the bottom of my heart and especially Wkiat for inviting me to the guild. ^^

P/S: This is my first guide, please feel free to comment and we shall learn together!

Let’s start with my build:

Skills: I don’t add Arcane Shield and Lifegiver, Just focus on spamming potions.

Fireball - 5/5
Time Shift - 5/5
Frost Bolt - 4/5 (Without Arctic Shatter)
Lighting Strike - 4/5 (Without Shock)

Passives:

Knowledge - 5/5
Agility - 5/5
Might - 5/5

STEP 1: Ensure your party members are ready! Eg: Selection of pets, Right Equipment, Mapping of skills & Sufficient pots.



STEP 2: Luring of 2 waves of mob to the centre. Normally I would use Fireball and Frost bolt first, after the mobs are recovered from the stun and frost then Time Shift and Lighting Strike.

Tips: Avoid standing on the goo (Purple Patches), it’s really hurts!


STEP 3: Luring 2 waves of mob again and repeats the skills step.

Tips: Do not lure mobs from the bridge, that’s too much to handle xD


STEP 4: Luring 2 waves of mob again and repeats the skills step. After clearing, you may start running.

Tips: Standing in the waves will give you extra damage bonus!


STEP 5: Run straight to the boss. (It should be spawned after clearing all the mobs from the start)

Tips: While running you can use Fireball to stun, Frost bolt to freeze and Time Shift to stop the mobs movement.


STEP 6: While fighting the boss, keep moving around to avoid those painful patches.

Tips: If you run straight up as you see from the map, there’s a hut that you can enter. It’s like a save point, if you died while fighting the boss, your spawning point will be outside the hut rather than at the starting of the map.


STEP 7: Pray for your loots

Tips: Remember to switch to leprechaun Pendant!


That’s the loots we got while doing the run, there’s more actually but I didn't managed to capture them!





Well...that’s the end of the guide, Thank you for spending your time reading and apologize for my bad English ^_^

[GoodSyntax]

Great guide Patrick!

I was waiting for someone to do a Ferrix walkthrough. Lord knows we've been doing a lot of them lately.

I also added this to the Elite Runners group Walkthroughs posting - so thanks! :-)

Wow Pat, I don't see even the middle pull - so three pulls only and boss? And not even the safety run to the hut.

Good job, guys!

[afrobug]

8min and change. Very nice

[Soundlesskill]

Further Update

Stahl won't move accordingly if a team member uses a stun pet

[GoodSyntax]

Two more days remaining to get your entries in...

[GoodSyntax]

Final day guys...

If you are working on a guide, or if you intend to, put it together quickly because at this time tomorrow, I will finalize the entries and start the decision process.

[Sceazikua]

This is just a little knowledge of me for making money This is only the small money that everyone can enjoy, especially the ones that is not wealthy, not the elite farming ones that require skills and time Another good thing is that these is not very much harmful to your device (phone or ipad) comparing to the bigger farming.

1.Kraag Canons
Firstly I want to tell why I choose this as first section. It is because this has always been an underated spot in the game. It has been considered not good a gold farming place, but this is only because you dont know how to farm effectively!

Have you ever wondered why they put there a knockback after firing a canon, then think that it is to prevent you from farming it all day at a same spot, later then you rage quit it thinking STS doesnt want people to get gold from these? knockback is there for a reason - to find out who can farm it effectively, not mindlessly run towards a canon then fire it all day! Ill give some screenshots to show that

A thing you must do here is standing a little bit closer to the left (or right) canon.
Sorry for changing the position, but some others came while I was taking screenshot so I cant take screenshots there anymore In this screenshot you can see me firing the canon below.

I was closer to that canon, so I fired that canon. Then the canon knocked me back so im closer to the canon above. I just need to click on the golden hand button again and I can fire that canon. Then that canon above knocked me back to the below one, and then the below knocked me to the above, and ... and endless knocking after firing the other canon, the canon you have just fired 2 seconds ago will be ready!

The only problem is that the canons wont knock you back in a straight line, so there will probaly be a fireback after firing approximately 10 canons when you are too far from a canon. But these canons are also near to the spawning spot in Kraag, so walking back when backfired is not a problem There is also a way to avoid backfire, by knowing that backfire will happen when you are too far or too close to the canon. If you feel neccessary, walk a little bit and you may avoid backfire!
This Kind of making money is not the most effective out there, gold rate is quite slow, but it is free, fun, and requires no skills or moving like farming, so why not give it a try?

2.Daily Quests
I think most of you are too familiar to these daily quests, and wondering why am I talking about this super original thing. Well I see there are some quests that are on a line, and you can complete 2 or 3 quests in 1 or 2 map! I will show you my routine of daily quests everyday!

First series is The City of the Dead. I will go to Kraag, take Noxxar's, Baldur's quests. Then go to the tavern for Dimitrus' and Karin's quests.
Dimitrus' quest is Silk Stalker, and requires you to kill Antee in Lost Mage's Mine. So this is why you should go to Lost Mage's mine at first place!
There are 3 random picked quests from Noxxar that reward you 250 gold :
+Arty Shardy, Hell bones and: These quests requires you to kill mobs, so they are easy to complete because you will attack mobs on your way to Lost Mage's Mine.
+Pumpkin Junk: This quest requires you to find 10 pumpkins in Arcanum Grounds, and is actually even easier to complete! On your way to Lost Mage's mine you will see several pumpkins (I dont remember how many there are ), but they are not enough to complete the quest. For more pumpkins, after entering Lost Mage's Mine you should descend to Arcanum Grounds, go find some pumpkins near the entrance and that will be enough to complete quest!
And Thirdly, There is a quest named Rememberance from Karin that is on your way to Lost Mage's mine too. If you see a grave with big yellow question mark on it, go click on it and a Skeleton Warrior will raise up. Killing this is easy and will reward you an item and 30-40 gold along with 250 gold from the quest.
How about Black Hearts from Baldur? Though it can we completed everywhere, when you kill mobs in Arcanum you will complete this quest too!
So in conclusion, you will get about 1300 gold just from running easy normal Arcanum Grounds to Lost Mage's mine. This shouldnt take above 5 minutes for lvl 36's

Second series is at The Land of the stealthy Rogues! On captain Hana Raven's ship named The Dragon's Jewel you can take 2 quests which will reward you 700 gold. First quest is Aegir's Island (not sure if I spell it correctly ), this is a free 200 gold in no more than 10 seconds. Though the place is interesting and the idea of a gold filled island is brilliant, gold drop there is not high, its just like other chests or crates in the other maps, so you should not stay here longer and waste your time, unless you want to Second quest is Monkey's ball which requires you to kill 30 ghost pirates in Ancient Marine Reef. Though this place is hard, the quest should not take more than 5 minutes just to kill 30 pirates. Once you defeated the first ghost shark and his crews, the quest is completed, but remember to take every turn you see!

Third series is The Land of the Shadowy Nott People! Why do I choose this before Nordr, I will tell later in fourth one.There are 3 daily quests Shadow Cleansing, Armor Fragment and Dead Lights. The quests here are pretty straight forward, I think there is no tip for this but running solo is easier and faster (at least for me). A reminder maybe not to miss the lantern in the second right turning, if you do you will only have 7 lanterns out of 8 (7 of them are obvious out on the way), but if you do miss this lantern you can find a lantern in Shadow Plains close to the entrance.

If you clear 1 map and half of the other, the 2 other quests are done too! This is why I would go Shadow Plains first, then to Forest Breach and if I suddenly forgot the last lantern I can go for an easy one in Shadow Plains. And another thing to keep in mind is that the last lantern in Shadow Plains is very close to the the boss Heart Wrath. A lot of people skipped this lantern because they think that it is too close to the boss, but it will be easy to get if you dont attack the boss because the skeletons wont attack you without your offense

Fourth series is The Land of the Frosty Warriors: to me this is the hardest and longest series, so I put them at the bottom of the list There are several quests for you to do:
-In Jurn Woods there is a man named Grumbel (or Grumble?) that will give you a quest called Light the Path. This quest is kinda long because it needs you to do the whole map and rewards only 200 gold, but it is also good to do so because if you killed Maneater (meh he wont eat you ofcourse) there is a chance to spawn Elite Bael or Krunch idk because I never saw one in this map Defeat the Elite boss to get an elite pink item or maybe a junk if youre unlucky Btw after having lit all the lights you should click on world map, go to Jurn Woods again and you will spawn right at the start immediately.
-In Stronghold there is a man called Olde Yodeler, if you visit him you will have 4 quests, they will need you to go to Nordia mine and Boulders which are exactly named Tunnels of Valheim and Camp Boulder. Here is the entrance if you didnt see (though you can click on quests tab and click "go to")

Each place will require you to kill 200 mobs there and 10 bosses that are randomly spawned. Both of these are kinda hard, so be careful
+Camp Boulder: This place has a wolfy boss named Ulfang. The boss is very rare to spawn, so I suggest you not kill 10 of this boss everyday to complete the quest. The boss itself is quite tough too with kinda high movement speed. On the other hand, the mobs here spawn a lot, so it shouldnt take long to reach 200 if you kill them frequently! It is also pretty much fun if you go hunt the boss, which means you dont stay at a spot near the entrance and wait the boss to come but go further and kill mobs.
+Tunnels of Valheim: This place has the boss Ubermans (meh there is only 1 boss each time he spawns, and he is no uber too ) whose skills are not deadly and slow attack speed. The most annoying enemies here are the spiders with there pushing ability. The mobs wont spawn many, but the boss seems to spawn every 50 mobs killed and though his spawn rate seems to be down now he is still a lot more often spawned than Ulfang.

That seems to be all the dailies series. I always follow the pattern, so approximately the 3 first series take me 15 mins a day to get about 5k gold, and if I want extra I can do Nordr ones. So you can get about 9k gold daily only from easy quests, which is possible for all players.

3.Bard's stories:
The stories token daily is another underated quest because it requires you to go to different towns and clear maps, but it is worth it!
So why is that worth it? It is because it is EASY, and you may get 500 gold in 10 mins and 4 story tokens. Lots of people think that 1 and 2 gold dropped here are worthless, but actually thats kinda a lot because it will drop every kill and 2 times drop every chests/barrels cracked. If you want, just get a random pet and clear Skeleton Medly (from Windmoore's Bard) over and over, it may be even faster than the canons! But this is not very much fun. With the story tokens got from these quests, after 50 days you can buy a colton pet that is very good for mage. If you dont need any pet here, you can even buy pots with story token, so take it like free pots awarded for running these daily.

4.Other tips to make gold
-Pick up ALL your junks you see on the way. You may think they are junk and they take slots of your inventory, selling 1 of them is worthless, but if you pick up a lot of them you will get a decent amount of gold from liquidating them! For example, each item is 8 gold now for me and even more or less. If I pick up 100 junks that dropped I get 800 gold.
-If you have luck elixir from Klaas or Shazbot, you can go to Brackenridge village (third map), hunt down Jarls Gruwald and there will be a chance to reroll a cheap golden chest into a locked Grand Crate of the Watch that is 10k gold by now. But this only seems to work for low levels, when I reached level 36 the Jarl doesnt seem to drop many lockeds any more like at the lower levels. Trust me I got 60 min combo elixir, farm him and Elite version of him all that time and only got junk, only 1 locked. 1 locked in 60 min of 30% reroll, I didnt see many golden chests droped either. At high levels the right place to go maybe Kraken mines 3 because I heard there is a better odd to get locked there and there are 3 bosses.
-Do merching. This maybe for advanced players but you can try it too, with lower items. Like I saw a lvl 16 Trollbane of Brutality (firy axe of warrior) which is kinda rare now because it is only lower lvls, it is even Brutality which means more damage, in CS (or auction house) for only 15k. I didnt have enough gold on my twink so I tried to sell a locked (which I was keeping to wait for the price to raise ). When Im back I saw the axe gone, I felt like scammed


That seems like all I can say, hope you enjoyed!

THE END.

EDIT : Oophs I forgot that the topic was about running Elite maps. I thought it was only a guide contest, and was thinking of my topic for kinda a week. Sorry my bad. I know this is not an entry that fits the topic. So sorry

[Primeblades]

Omg i cant help but smile when i read dsgsdafda's guid it cracks me up

[Yakiniku]

I loled at dsgsdafda's first screenshot. And yes, I do have a juvenile sense of humor.

[Sceazikua]

Thanks, guys My first screenshot was written on because I wanted to take everyone's attention to make it a must to stand between 2 canons, not just stand in the back of the canon and get knocked away While I was taking the screenshot I had some friend invitation too
Im editing it now. I bet if STS has some changes to the canons, like give 10 gold each time but cooldown 10s, or something better, the canons will be crowded of people that are not wealthy!
Btw I forgot to tell the situations to 100% get backfire, Im adding now, so if people that follows it can avoid backfire when they feel neccessary to move
