Silkknight Farming

[Snakespeare]

level 10 only

The password to Jewelthief's game is snake. It is only locked to keep out level 11 and higher from unwittingly joining and affecting the drops. Anyone level 10 or lower can join. I will remake for the next hour or so. Best drop so far is green, but it will be nice to see if a purple drops... I have doubts about pink at this level.

I'm in. Got a lvl 11 green today.

Err... I don't think DF1 has it.. I have been running tests and purchasing off of lvl 4's and 5's for their drops. They have been lvl 11-13 drops. I was highest lvl in party too (lvl10). I have been running FH4 and farming meathead. Hes been dropping non-stop lvl 10 armors.

add drewcapuxx or drewcapux (I'll probably turn the latter into the primary L10) for any future L10 farming.

I haven't tried farming meathead much with my level 10.

Pharcyde, when farming FH1, make sure you kill enough for the threat level to go from yellow to white. Once it's white you can kill silk and get L10 drops (from what I've seen doing solo. It probably works the same when in groups). But if the threat level never gets to white in a group even after clearing all before getting to Silk, maybe it won't work.

Definitely get it white before even getting Silk's attention. I don't think she's tethered and will even follow you to the beginning, I think.

never heard of threat level changing rates, new one

DF2 Lowell the troll has given me a lvl 14 pink and a lvl 11 green, and I berily farm him. Silk have given me jack, perhaps its at DF2? (Lvl 14 pink was on a lvl 50)

Ya. Fluff and I were talking about it in chat yesterday.

Previously I was just about always getting L11 drops @Silk when farming with my L10 and couldn't figure out why until one time I decided to clear the level instead of my usually quasi-rush and got a L10. I ended up leveling a character up to L8 just to make sure my drops were L10.

Fluff and I had a couple theories that it was either related to time or number of enemies killed. It dawned on me when Fluff mentioned that he knew he wouldn't get a low drop in his L45 farming group if the boss' threat level was yellow.

I always noticed when leveling my 2nd and 3rd chars when mobs would change threat levels in a run, but never really thought about it much.

Long story shorter, I later verified that (when doing solo) my L10 gets L10 drops vs Silk as long as I get to her after the threat level goes down once there were 23 enemies left. (or was it 22 or 24? It's somewhere around there)

Clearing the whole dungeon = level 10.

Yep. Threat level change confirmed with screenshots. Thanks! :)
