Elite aps guide

[Shocan]

So, you've been playing the game long enough for the talk, eh? Well there comes a time in every young warrior's, nott's or rogue's life they must begin farming elite aps. It's not pretty. There will be blood. There will be tears, but it will pay off in the form of fame and glory. Now I've run through all the elite maps and counted mobs. Roughly. I'll give tips and tricks and anything else I throw in there. So sit tight, you're in for the long haul now.

First off we're going back to that map; Brack. Great memories are made here as you run through, thinking your op because you kill them so fast. Anyone remember when you could some great gear that you'll never use again for plat from Petrox 'Lord of War’? No too long ago? XD
Area One: Brack; total aps: 850 aps
Map one: Brack forest; total kills per run
(Note; this one was difficult, I had to count em all because I had 10k already)
Mobs: 46
Bosses: 1 (Fastest map for boss kill, simply take out half of what there is from start to boss or use venim and just run, venim in a 76 pet will smoke all the mobs for you)

Map two: Brack Aqueducts; total kills per run
Mobs: 68
Bosses: 1

Map Three: Brack Village; total kills
Mobs: 58
Bosses:1 (Note: Jarl doesn't count as boss :/)

Map Four: Gold mine; total kills
Mobs: 61
Bosses: 1

Very easy maps, I recommend running any staff+ss for mage, charged dusk bow+ss for rogue and war warrior axe throw without pull and any weap

Ok, next up comes the OP titles Who doesnt wanna be called [Rogue Hunter]?! This map is the map we lose a beloved friend and the story takes off leading us all the way to shuyal if not further(After that the games story just fades :P) We met a wonderful dragon here and found our way to the next town, Kraag! Malison farming anyone?
Area Two: Ydra forest; Total aps: 850
Map one: Ydra Outskirts; total kills:
Mobs: 49
Bosses: 1

Map two: Rook's hideout; total kills
Mobs: 57
Bosses: 1 (Fastest)

Map Three: Ydra forest; total kills
Mobs: 53
Bosses: 1

Map Four: Rook's nest; total kills:
Mobs: 54
Bosses: 1

Same strat as Brack for gear, recommend to run ydra forest on repeat.

Well that's 2k bosses and 20k mobs dead. Too bad those mobs won't count towards your pve kills xD Next up we're going to find Bael's master and avenge Gustav. Again. Let's goooo

We'll hold the same gear set up, run map one. Fast and effective.

Now we're gonna go back down the map to windmoore again to fight some pirates! Aargh! Previous popular spot for locked farming... Until locks costed 1k each. Maybe Festerfang can fix that...?

Phew. Not only was there a year delay between me updating but those last 2 runs were killers. Definitely wanna bring a party of people so you don't get bored, and speed sets or else it'll feel like an eternity. But we've trudged through nott country, killed... crystals and overgrown roots and crystal hearts. Impressive? Also our good buddy the warlord inash with his anger problems, and the other 2. We found a guy and his bat in their hermit home and maybe even found arcane parchment #3! Ik I did during my count �� Well now we're getting somewhere, off to tindrin!

Well now we've fought spiders and dragons, what can't we do? Made a few dragkin teeth, begun crafting the rend tail ring, all is good in tindrin. We've got some hefty mob and boss kills under our belt, and almost done! In a way. Run with your friends, especially at lower levels, some levels you won't make it very far alone, and not very fast! Now to travel far west and head to Garretta! Gotta go track down my miner buddies for directions first though!
