Lets talk farming

[potamus]

Just wondering how many gold-addict-hording farmers there are out in Sosaria and what methods of execution they use to make that shiney cheddar? I like to get creative and attempt at soloing some otherwise group effort gold runs.

The other day I decided to take a turn with my carto/lockpick who is close but has yet to grandmaster either skill =(. You might say I'm crazy but I am just eccentric with my builds but I make it work well.

Currently working (and since my char is not public I will post current stats/skills):

GM provo
GM music
GM magery
GM meditation
95 lockpicking
95.2 carto
79.8 fishing (macroing as we speak I was sporting GM mining for tactical/flashy reasons on level 4 tmaps).

(edited; forgot to add somethings)

I generally like to wear a couple pieces of leather armor for a decent med rate and decent AR for a mage. Inside my little red lockbox I carry about 20-30k worth of items, so if a pkay manages to kill me its their lucky day.

20 AR (w/ protection spell/clothing)

20 reflect charges
20 invis charges
20 bless charges
20 protect charges

5 Gheal
5 Gcures
5 Tfreshs

4 para pouches

Aside from attempting to GM lockpicking; I am attempting to create a decent gold farmer who never has to set foot in a dungeon... Why? Because... hehehe. Share your builds, the unique the better!

My farmers the exact same as yours, except instead of fishing i went with hiding.

I really try to stay away from skills that share the same timers, skills like: provo w/hiding or provo w/ peacemaking. I've tried it before and found myself wishing i would've used hiding before provo or vice versa.

ya it does suck some times, but the way i do it is dig up t-chest. start picking lock before monsters target and then hide and wait to pick lock and to beable to use provo. all while still hiding

i have that same but detect hidden instead of fishing

Ah, yes that is were I feel mining was so ingenious and taken for granted in the thunters build. I could stand ten tiles from the chest and dig it up, standing far enough away to mount up and begin to provo my targets. Now I will just have to use an invis charge with fishing(oh well not like we farmers don't have a few hundred and counting), but now with fishing I can get the mibs and possible maps to keep the cycle going.

Yeah I did consider this so I can do level 5 maps, however I am very patient and will save them for when I GM carto and lockpick.

Peacemaking is like 6 sec.
Provo is 10 sec on success and 5 sec on fail.

Not sure if that's what you meant by timer.

True, but at GM provo failing will only happen on say ancient balrons. However I have had a GM peacemake/provo bard (which I switched to wrestling sometime ago, much better option imo), many times I found myself wishing I had not successfully provoked that daemon on that orc and used peacemaking instead for the ten mobs following me. With wrestling I found it easier to get heals and teleports in when I needed them when kyting large groups like, ophidian knights.

Yeah, my bard's GM peacemaking is gone, and his hide is almost gone.

Any particular reason to keep DH when you have GM LP?

I am under the impression that detect hidden is for when you're not quite GM lockpicking and can't wait to do level 5 chests. If it has more utility then that could you clue me in on its benefit? Since you are GM carto/lockpick.

[Kabal]

Its so I'm super strong against locks, no lock in this game stands a chance against me.

no but seriously,I just havnt macroed up wrestling yet, but I'm gonna do that any day now :/
