Part 5: Gold farming

Farming gold in story level 43 - Darkhold Citadel.

This is the map with highest gold earned per minute! Difficulty doesn't affect the yield.

- Run to the end chests, shatter only once near the end.
- Aim for Extra gold on every item, and always use a gold booster.
- Try to get run times down to 20 seconds.
- Use Grand Magister weapon set - shatter is a must!
- Put movement speed on boots and pants and use 'Fleet footed' passive.
- Hold left button all the time while moving to avoid engaging mobs on the way.
- If you lack damage to kill the monsters at the end of the map, put power on gear, or use Fire lily.
- For some additional resources and gemstones you can farm level 47 Morgenheim instead.

How do you get all the gold from all the other unopened chests to go to you? Really new and using a BH trying to level crafting and buy ELR recipes before next ANB. With 625% GF I get 8k from the last 3 chests and maybe 30 from the entire map, however I have to kill and clear the entire map AND open all the chests. if I just kill everything and loot the last 3 chests the other chests stay closed.

You need to be 'out of combat' and move next to the chest. If mobs see you, they start chasing you, and you are considered 'in combat'. Got to kill them or lose them. With mage I use shatter in the end, which kills all mobs around. With bounty hunter you can use smoke screen and they'll stop chasing you.

Need a bit of clarification here: the basic answer is "you don't". But according to the players suggesting it, the trade off in reduced run time will more than cover for the lost from those un-opened chests.

Excellent guide Is it going to be updated in regards with the recent changes?

[bojck]

It mostly is up-to-date, I edited the recommended Ability rating, I'll mention the new drop rates

[bojck]

Thanks for pointing that out - it was totally not up-to-date

Should be better now.

[Raingold]

Thanks for the updates, and for creating such a comprehensive guide.

[Splendor]

Yeah, I second that, this guide is very helpful, I still haven't mastered dodging Garm's basic attack yet though, you make it look easy!

Foe:

Part 3: Beams and bosses

Garm @159

High health, predictable routine, regular attacks are hard to avoid at first.

[bojck]

ah it's just frostbeam noises amplified by my mic. I'm not clicking there - I just beam, wait a second, vortex, wait for the beam to finish, nova and move to the side. On mobile - vortex first, then beam, then nova.

Hello,

I am a complete newb and I am attempting to craft the Grand Magister's Command set, one of the recipes is available, and the other is locked. When I attempt to craft the igneus pillar of flame I have all the required resources, but which attributes should I select for this weapon? What is the best way to get the glacies temtestas recipe? Is this the best weapon set?

Thanks

[Splendor]

The best way to get the recipe is to be patient and buy all the recipes, it takes a while but eventually you get all of them. Best attributes depend on what trinkets you're using but as long as you are not using a Firelily... critical dmg, critical rat, haste, and power are all good stats. LoH too. Yes, GMC is currently the best weapon set.
