Barrage Farming Pongmei Valley

Kirrin/Undergrowth Ranger/Monk Solo

The build:




16 marksmanship (12+mask+sup rune)
9 expertise (8+minor rune)
10 healing prayers
whatever’s left goes into wilderness survival
[SS of my skill bar]

Storm Chaser – for getting around quickly
Barrage – for killing masses at a time!
Whirrling defence – protection
Throw dirt – protection
Lightning Reflexes – protection and a little added damage
Dryders Defence - protection
Vigorous spirit – precious life!
Live Vicariously – More precious life!

The Equipment:
Archers Mask of superior marksmanship
And full max armor (I use druids, but anything will work)

Any “Zealous shortbow of ___” will work, however I like a 15%^50% or a 15% in a stance would also work well here.

I use one sup rune on my helm (to get marksmanship to 16) and 1 minor rune (expertise)

Health isn’t an issue really – I rarely drop below 90%, however any vigor runes are always welcome.

The run:
Follow the left hand wall, killing everything you see, until you see the first warden, then cut across to the east until you see 4 kirrin, that’s the sign of the end of your run.




Why farm these guys?

1) I’ve not brought in a run that was worth less than 1.5k when you included mats/items, and sometimes I’ve brought in as much as 4k in one run. (each run takes about 3-5 minutes)

2) Farming for a ranger, need to get some quick skill points for your ranger? In one run you can get a full skill point if you use a hero’s insight scroll.

3) New challenge… well maybe not challenge, it’s a whole lot easier than a troll farm, faster for killing each mob, and there are a lot more mobs.

4) Keys! If you happen to be a faction runner at lutgardis conservatory (most rangers can/are), these guys drop kurzick keys fairly commonly (for keys anyway).

5) The obvious goes last: Money. It’s generally as profitable as 4 troll runs, or 3 minotaur runs, and takes slightly less time than that amount of either.

Nice guide Rogue. Il start farming there.


Good Job x]



  Txen_Viong on 08/26/06 04:14

I'll try this out soon

sounds cool  chiellus on 08/26/06 10:01

I'm gonna try it right now.... I hate farming because it usually takes long, or your health drops real low (Since I play monk a lot... I don't like health dropping below 20%....)...

Thanks!
Michiel

I don't want to be mean or anything but look:

Ranger's Beacon guide

I posted this some time ago look

Like I said I'm not trying to be mean, but I think you should at least give the creds to Ranger's Beacon, maybe you should point that out , but it's good that you posted it at least more people will know about it :P

Good luck!

  Parappa on 08/26/06 11:12

I've been farming Pongmei with my Ranger for ages, Though I clear out a bit more than your run suggests. If u go past the Wardens, who are easily killed, there's another mob of undergrowths, and usualy a chest which 2 times out of 5 is gold for me.

  Al on 08/26/06 11:14

Maybe he didnt read or find it from the Rangers Beacon. Thats like taking credit away from the first person who created the 55hp monk farming or the vermin farming warrior. =/

He did post in Topic :P So I think he knew, he even said that with an Elementalist looks easier.

  Rogue on 08/26/06 11:55

actually i did read this on some other site (not rangers beakon first), and i still think it looks easier with an elementalist (biggest problem? my ele's not there yet >.<) - rangers beakon did have the same build however i made a couple of changes and explained it better... but this is also one of those things that was originally intended to farm mountain trolls and minotaurs (which you can do with this build). so in my defence it is somewhat like the 55 build.

hmm  camy009 on 08/26/06 16:36

Id like to make a few adjustments but looks excelent!!! good job.

  the mini man on 08/26/06 22:09

i want a warror build for this place :(

  Belshazaarswrath on 08/27/06 00:06

THanks alot this is really helpful

  Solicity on 08/27/06 06:15

you can probably do this with a troll farming warrior build, as the kirins hit you for melee.

very nice guide! done this a few times now, and yep, it works :D

2 kurzick keys so far ^^

  Knight Of The Black Mantle on 08/27/06 06:52

i just tryd it and first i tought this isnt working... but after some practise it works awesome! thx rogue
(sorry for my bad english)

  yiyanshou on 08/27/06 15:52

Nice build. Similar to the vermin farming build. I farm tha area with my rit and it is very profitable.

  Aidan_Adelbern on 08/27/06 18:51

nice, all i need to do now is to get past Thakanai temple (whatever it's called)

  mriswith on 08/28/06 08:53

Very nice Rogue; i will try it out tonight.

  HealingAttack on 09/12/06 12:43

Nice guide, I like it but I most of the time get between 1-2k...

  Gw Best Playa on 09/22/06 20:53
 
This looks like it will work and probly profit better than tombs in the same time it takes.

  Corellon Larithien on 10/02/06 16:54

cool guide. i wonder if i could do the same thing with my warrior...
