Not kidding, the only ones that can solo this run is Rt and R, that's it, other profession can only dream of completing this solo.

Before you begin, you must have the quest Battle of Turai's Procession, if you don't, go get it.

Weapons:
Zealous Flatbow

Attributes:
Beast Mastery: 12
Channeling: 12
Wilderness Survival : 9
Expertise: 8

EMPTY your inventory before this run, and when i mean empty, it MUST be 100% empty!

Guide:

I didn't film too much of a run because...Vista don't support Fraps and I have to do it @ a friend's computer =/

Those of you that want instant real proof, here.
I'm extremely unlucky in this run, I usually get a gold armor drop every run, getting 2-3 is no big deal.

There are more places that can be farmed like this, and I've been doing it for quite some time now with my Rt.
I wanted to try this quest as well, but guess what... they will no longer give it to me... stupid centaurs :angry:

EDIT: i just spoke to the quest guy and he offers last of the breed, is that after or before this quest.?

Hmmm I've got to do like 5 more quests before she'll give Battle of Turai's Procession.

It seems once you get too far in primary quests, it's all over. :cry:

Is there something that you need to not do in order to not complete the quest so that you can repeat it? ie. Do you abandon it before collecting the reward?

Straegaard
10-04-2007, 12:23
Just for the record here's the quest line that leads to Battle of Turai's Procession:

After Kodonur Crossroads you can do: Mirza's last Stand --> A Bushel of Trouble --> Troubled Lands --> Ancestral Anguish (This is the in this quest-chain, and it's a requirement for Battle of Turai's Procession).
You also need to do these quests, though: Crossing the Desolation (primary quest after Jennur's Horde or Nundu Bay) --> Total Corruption.

after you've completed both Total Corruption and Ancestral Anguish you will be able to get Battle of Turai's Procession.

There is also no quests that require Battle of Turai's Procession.. It's the last in the chain.


Information gotten from GuildWiki



@Eros Hayashi: Last of the Breed doesn't have anything to do with Battle of Turai's Procession. :)

Yep, just abandon before killing the last mob (i.e. grab the loot before they arrive), rinse & repeat.

The only 'problem' with the build is the reliance on EoE. If you get a straggler then you've pretty much got no way to take it out.

One thing I've been doing is using Predatory Season instead of Trolls. Speeds up the killing a bit.

:afro:

Inchino
10-04-2007, 12:37
i'm guessing you rezone
for the quest orders.

* Mirza Veldrunner: Last of the Breed
* Mirza Veldrunner: Mirza's Last Stand
* Mirza Veldrunner: A Bushel of Trouble
* Mirza Veldrunner: Troubled Lands
* Mirza Veldrunner: Ancestral Anguish (Difficulty: Master)
* Mirza Veldrunner: Total Corruption
* Mirza Veldrunner: Battle of Turai's Procession (Difficulty: Master)

10-04-2007, 13:44
@Inchino:
#1 is splinter weapon
#8 is wielder's strike --- I'm guessing this is for single survivors. Nightmare weapon works well for this too

oh, and 'Last of the Breed' isn't part of that quest chain, as I wrote earlier. (according to Guildwiki)


@thazel: It's been on Guru for weeks :DD

And I find it more usefull to ditch everything in Wilderness Survival and get Run as One, and Storms Ambrace. Then you got some points left for Marks to do more dmg.

Inchino
10-04-2007, 14:17
you can't out do the heal - i would rezone and start again.

On a side note this is really helping my cash balance :)

Lunari
10-04-2007, 14:54
Thank you guy who made this build! !!!

And how do you kill the boss? I cant seem to kill him. Or do you just wait untill ALL the margonites are there and then kill?? I've only managed to kill everything exept the boss, and im just running to him picking everything up what i can and die and over and over and over again... :rolleyes:

Inchino
10-04-2007, 15:22
it's easier to pick up between mobs - or if you have some left place some spirits to distract and run in.

Wayward
10-04-2007, 15:55
Being a lowly mesmer, this R/Rt run made me a little envious. I tried a variation with heroes which will work for any profession.

Any/R: Barrage
Acolyte Jin: Barrage, Edge of Extinction, Favourable Winds
Magrid the Sly: Barrage, Winnowing
Razah: Barrage, Serpent's Quickness, Splinter Weapon

Let each wave of Margonites gather in a large group. Razah casts Spinter Weapon on everyone, using Serpent's Quickness. Rangers place their spirits. Then stack Barrage on everyone, call a target, and quickly follow with a Barrage yourself.

The entire wave will be wiped out in one volley.

It might be possible to pull this off with fewer heroes. I never tested that.

For the boss just bring some henches and flag them off somewhere so they don't eat your drops; then bring them in when the boss arrives. Margonites hardly drop gold so you aren't really losing anything.

Just had a wee dig, its nothing to do with last of the breed, apparently, the quest tree looks like this


Battle of Turai's Procession
└Total Corruption
└ Ancestral Anguish
└ Troubled Lands
└ A Bushel of Trouble
└ Mirza's Last Stand
└ Kodonur Crossroads (Mission)
└ Crossing the Desolation
└ Jennur's Horde (Mission) or Nundu Bay (Mission)

So, how DOES one get Mirza's Last Stand?
I've finished the game and got Protector a while back, yet Mirza only offers Last of Breed now.

Avoc
10-04-2007, 18:25
Oh yeah! Everybody has to give me a cookie now! In order to get Mirza's last stand you have to go to your Command Post and talk with Zhed, he'll give you a quest called... something something, where you have to go to Mirza. You'll get rewarded just by talking with him. Rezone and you'll get the mirza's last stand quest.

* Mirza Veldrunner: Mirza's Last Stand
* Mirza Veldrunner: A Bushel of Trouble
* Mirza Veldrunner: Troubled Lands
* Mirza Veldrunner: Ancestral Anguish (Difficulty: Master)

Yes, but in order to get Mirza's Last stand you need to talk with Zhed in the CP and get a quest from him. Something along the lines of "my people need me, lead me to Mirza"

Lunari
10-04-2007, 18:59
And you have to have Kondur Corssroads completed, I think... Check wiki as I said.


I will post a screen where Mirza is, it took me ages to find him. (he's at the white dot)

I think there are four waves of three groups of eight plus a boss (4x3x8+1=97).

10-04-2007, 19:31
another tip - when you have just the boss left with some loot - talk to the person that gives the quest - he'll run in and distract the boss.

Good for you - thankyou for your post into the Ranger Forum.

A couple of tippets for those doing this farm. Up until the last mob, always avoid targetting an executioner - you want these guys taking maximum damage so don't target them.

If you use target closest while laying the spirits you will usually target a seer which is perfect.

For the last mob, target the Torment Weaver.

When the boss is the only thing left, call in a couple of heroes to distract him while you collect the loot.

And finally - Andrew has stolen all the Gold drops!!! :laugh:

Ditch Wielder's Strike and a few movement stances (only Natural Stride on the bar would be enough probably) and use Bloodsong+Painful Bond and maybe Troll Unguent to finish the boss. That's what I do, and it works.

Inchino
11-04-2007, 02:07
that's what i do basically but i leave the heros - i run to the quest guy ask about the quest he'll run in and the boss will fight him leaving me to collect loot :laugh:

Wielder's Strike isn't part of the build... just a hangover from testing.

As for killing the Torment Weaver boss - well that would be a bad idea because you want to be able to repeat the mission.

@ Lytel

You have to do a few quests (about 4 or so) before the quests becomes available

@ BOB

If you kill the boos you can just abandon the quest once you zone out and retake the quest from mirza, he's on the way to the margonites afterall.

meatloafman
11-04-2007, 02:51
i have a feeling theyll let this one go for a little while before nerfing it. simply because thats alot of quests for alot of people to figure out. also, jennurs horde and nundu bay are not easy missions. imo harder than say thunderhead keep which has been the classic place where evolution catches up with noobs.

just as well, thats a master difficulty quest which is not the easiest.

Need someone to confirm this, because according to the wiki's if you kill the boss you can rezone and then see Mirza for the reward suggesting that the 'completion' flag is set on the mission. :huh:

Confirmed, you complete the quest, but you can still abandon it as the claim reward step is still there. Rinse repeat :)

I can't see why they would nerf this though, if you include collecting the loot, salvage, ID and merchant, the whole run yields maybe 4K in over 20 mins with one gold on average. Not exactly a great farm, though the loot stack is very impressive :smiley:

I have to agree with Fay here. On average, assuming all typical drops (meaning no black dye), I average about 4k. The only thing that makes this run stand out is the psychological factor. It *seems* to be quicker because your filling up your inventory all in one trip as opposed to multiple trips. I know I prefer this type of style over say, Kirin farming.

evillorderic
11-04-2007, 04:46
To speed the build up, I usually have Margrid bring Winnowing, Predatory Season, Edge of Extinction, and Favorable Winds. I run a Rt/R, so her spirits compared to mine are a HUGE buff. First I have her set them near the boulders along the path, the send her away.

You get a +10 damage bonus, 52 damage EoE, plus I can max Marksmanship at 12 for added damage from barrage. The good thing about Predatory Season is it reduces healing by 20%. This is very helpful against the monks, dervishes, and especially the Heal Sigs on the (usually always) remaining warriors.

I did have enough to fill my inventory, but it was worth a total of 1.5K. But I find XP more important at this moment... I need at least 1K gold for every 15.000 XP...

How stupid can I get? There is another reqirement apart from Kodonur Crossroads mission for Mirza's Last Stand quest to activate. It's the Tools of War quest, from Dunkoro in Command Post, but since Gwiki never said that I didn't bother... geez :laugh:

Apart from that, this build also works with:
Stygian Veil in Domain of Anguish
infamous Breaking the Broken master quest in Torment
Destroy the Ungrateful Slaves in Desolation
Protect the Learned, master quest in the Halls of Chokhin in Vabbi

Oh and while farming Margonites, Demons and such remember that Lightbringer works with Splinter Weapon.

This works in Stygian Veil. Replaced Troll with Muddy Terrain for Stygian Golems, since they use Harrier's Haste.

You have to place the spirit carefully (on the other side of the mob) so you move out of the effect but they dont :grin:

use the speed buff as your ranger gets into the fire stance and run back as the circle animation starts - should still fire whilst running.

btw I think the credits are a bit off.

As far as I can see sk8tborderx was the first to post about the build (for dead sword farming). Then mr_groovy modified it a bit and used it for stygian veil soloing, and in his thread somebody posted about the Turai's Procession quest. So DvM really just put the two things together and wrote a guide, which he also mentions in his post.
Not that it really matters, though >_< Just wanted to clarify.


And good job on the video and bringing this to GWonline, andrewf.

Well, I get rubish the first time...

I did have enough to fill my inventory, but it was worth a total of 1.5K. But I find XP more important at this moment... I need at least 1K gold for every 15.000 XP...

And it's always fun to try something new.

Amen to that. I got 130k exp yesterday, and I didn't even farm that much.

Ok, I'm a bit confused here. I finished Kodonur Crossroads and took Zhed out to Mirza and got the reward for Centaur Concerns. Now how to I get Mirza to give me a quest? According to Wiki, the order of quests given by Mirza are:

Mirza's Last Stand
A Bushel of Trouble
Troubled Lands
Ancestral Anguish
Total Corruption
Battle of Turai's Procession
Last of the Breed

Wiki says the requirements for Mirza's Last Stand are:

Kodonur Crossroads (Mission)
A party member can't have the quest Battle of Turai's Procession active
A party of 8 people is required to activate the quest

Do I have to have 7 other humans with me to activate Mirza's Last Stand because he's not giving it to me with heroes and henchies.

You need to finish Last of Breed, finish Centaur Concerns, and Kodonur's. When you approach Mizra to finish Last of Breed, a scripted sequence starts, involving some kournans. This starts the sequence of Mizra's Last Stand.

I've found that if you are too sharp in escaping on the final volley that wipes them, the lovely anti-leecher code kicks in and you don't get some of the XP and drops. If you wait until the end before picking anything up, yo should have a stack that fills the while screen in height from a little distance, maybe 50-70 drops. If you have significantly less than this then you will be missing out by being too far away when the drop to EoE. If you have this number then you are getting rubbish drops, it happens sometimes.

You could try without the EoE, it's a little slower, and yo will often be left with a couple of unkillable Executioners (bring back the flagged Hero/Hencies)

Oh, I got my inventory full (and then some, luckily there's a merchant close by...) But I'm used to getting rubish (50g un-ID'd, 51 ID'd...)

But, it's a nice place to go so now and again, to change your farming area's. So, it's back to the spiders for a run of two next, then I'll go do some Kappa hunting in Cantha and I'll try to lure some Torment creatures into my traps.

As I said, I could use the XP, so, next time, I think I'll bring a scroll...

finishing Last of Breed has nothing to do with the sequence of quests to access Battle of Turai Procession. My warrior had Battle of Turai Procession done BEFORE he finished Last of Breed. I was just too lazy to farm giants to get my 3 giants tusks. I have done it since, and I am glad to have discovered that the 3 giant tusks are not consumed by the quest fulfilment and can thus be reused for all my characters.

thing is that you can do this run far more often without hitting some serious anti-farm code.

where you might only be able to do 5 runs coming out to say 5k in loot(excluding specials) of some other run before starting to feel the pain from the code, you can probably do this run the same 5 times but end up looting 20k instead before you start to feel the code burn.

Going through Nightfall 3 times now, I have yet to find a good spear/shield for my paragon hero. :laugh:

So the margonite mask collector in Gate of Torment (is that right? think so) and the guy right outside of Joko's Domain in the next zone (take the wurm - right next to Dead Sword-droppin' slaves quest) give decent stuff for that.

Also the Adamantine Shield for warriors is not bad.

Just to be acurate its 9,408XP for 6 shots work, thats 1,568XP per shot which is pretty economical.

Just takes a little time to set up. I go clockwise from the entrance and talk to each of the 8 scholars which brings you back to Aiki at the entrance way again. Then go and watch the start of the battle which triggers the entire spawn (or seems to).

Go and hide until the killing finishes and the margonites should be in two groups. Use a barrage shot to get them to clump before laying the spirits and starting the killing for real and you shouldnt have any angst.

One tip, if you do get the bunch breaking and a straggler who won't cluster back up. Just shot him once and run away. That should be enough to nudge him back to the main group.

The plus points are the merchant & rune trader inside the zone.

I don't use the merchant there, I need the easy access of the GH rune trader as Margonites like their runes :)

One word of warning with this type of farming. With a flat bow, you have to be careful you don't speed out too fast on the shot that wipes them, my last run last night I messed it up completely, I got XP from 3 of them and 3 white drops (1 mask) because EoE killed the rest while I was out of range. Problem is, if you hang around forthe drops and xp and you misjudge it and they don't die, they swarm all over you, wipe your spirit and you have to start again.

Stupid ANet participation code really shouldn't apply when you are the only person in the party!

Once you know how many shots it takes to kill the mob, I'd recommend not bugging out on the last shot. For me, that's shot number 3 so I just stand my ground and watch them keel over - guarantees the drops and the XPs every time.

Having spoken to one or two others attempted the run, here's a tip - don't forget your Lightbringer Rank bonus! It's worth a lot when taking these guys down. A few ranks in LB can significantly reduce the number of volleys that you have to fire.

:afro:

Fay Vert
17-04-2007, 11:45
Yes I do that, but it varies a little depending on the mix of margonites and what you select, some times it takes an extra shot, or something else dies and sets off the bomb a shot before you expect. Usually it's not a problem, but sometimes it gets you.

I'm LB4, can't be bothered to farm it, but yes, I use that.

Avoid the problem in the first place. Make sure your group is nicely bunched up and select a target in the centre, preferably a squishy like a seer. This will set the eoe bomb off better. Make sure your EoE is as big as it can be, there are so many Margs that it is bound to kill them providing they are damaged.

As a safety, bring your heroes and park them well off screen, bring them in to pick off the stragglers. If I get one or two, I just rush in to pock up the loot, using dodge/zojun's/natural stride you can pick most of it up before taking significant damage, run out and repeat.

Place 3 spirits behind the group. Go back up front and go about business as usual.
They almost don't even move that way.

You're talking about Turai's Procession yes? If so, we're talking crossed porpoises! Doesn't work for the Pretoect the Learned - you can't lay the spirits 'behind' the mob... well, not unless you have the instantaneous teleport elite skill.

My question is that do you kill all the groups that come in this (I think 4 waves) and do you need to get rid of the quest? or how do you work redoing it? once you kill everything you just zone? or do you abandon once everything is dead then zone? what?

Rezone, Abandon (which you can only do in an outpost), take the quest again when you go back and and talk to Mirzah Veldrunner (?). Wash, rinse, repeat.

But... the centaur WILL die, so if you forget to abandon the quest, go back out and speak to him again without thinking, you may inadvertently press the 'Accept' button and your fun is over. GG. So be careful.

Does this still work after loot scaling and such? I thought they started scattering more right after HM was introduced?

You can do battle in hard mode, but Protect the learned perma-agro for some reason.

The best way to avoid messing up battle of TP is to not kill the boss at the end, he's quite tricky anyhow, just don't bother, he won't drop anything. If you do kill him, be sure to abandon the quest the instant you get back to outpost, if you don't, you will forget and you will lose it.

If you're to carefully observe the area where you shoot your barrage, you will notice you're on higher ground... maybe that's why the mobs can't chase you (with Muddy Terrain of course)

Loot wise, yes.

Kill wise, no

well, you can do it in HM, or so i hear, in which case the loot cant be all that bad still. and since you're killing so many monsters at once it is probably one of the better places to farm..
UNLESS, anet has nerfed the drop rate because many people have done/are doing this run.

It isn't? I thought the loot and AoE fixes blasted the hell out of this farm.

You will pick up one or two gold items per run, so you can farm for about 10 golds per hour, add in the odd goodie like a lock pick or some dye.

Also, the golds are often armour so it's one of the better places to farm sup vigors.

There is not loot now, the farm was nerfed in a most spectaular way by the loot scaling.

Hey,

Great build! Didn't ever thought about that that could be possible :shocked:

Now there's a problem.
I think it's my fault, but it just won't work.

I have just the same build, but got only 3 points for Wilderness Survival, and because I'm a Ritualist, I can't give points to Expertise. Maybe that's the problem.

I got a little problem with my energy while I'm trying to do the farm. When it looks like they're all going to die, the monks start healing when I wait a little for my energy te regen.. So that's a problem; I can try to go on till my energy is 0 and hope they're dead then (wich I tried, but because of the healing they just don't die), or I can wait for my energy to regen and they're all full health and my EoE is away.

Should I put some energy runes on my armor to get as much energy as possible, or could it be anything else why it doesn't work?

EDIT: sometimes when they're about to die, I use barrage, my Rit runs to the group, but when she's there, she don't uses Barrage -.- So then I hit Barrage fast, but then the whole group comes after me and then I got to low energy t o run away.

You first need to do Mirza's Last Stand, A Bushel of Trouble, Troubled Lands, Ancestral Anguish and Total Corruption. If he only gives you Last of the Breed, just enter the area again and there'll be a group of Kournan's talking to him, and after the dialoge you can get Mirza's Last Stand.

I tried it recently, and for some reason, most foes did not take damage. Not at all. Lots of pretty yellow numbers, but their health didn't decrease. I also tried in normal mode.

Is this a bug, a feature to prevent farm, or are the monks in the group that good?

Does it still work?

Thanks.
