Hi. Just thought I'd give a heads up to those who have been needing Cores for either the Gloves or Quest, Glint's Challange has proven to be invaluable in the process of getting this done.

You need a basic Splinter Barrage build, mines include some Norn skills but that's only because I have 7 ranks into it. You can do without it.

Basic Splinter Farm build:

8 BM
9 Expertise
7 WS(can be changed if you don't use SC or TU)
9 MARK
12 CHANNEL

Barrage[E]
Splinter Barrage
Nightmare Weapon(Self Heal)
Storm Chaser or Other Kite Skill
Troll Ungent
Edge of Extinction
[Optional]
[Optional]

or

Barrage[E]
Splinter Barrage
"I Am The Strongest!"
Kite Skill
Nightmare Weapon or Feel No Pain
Edge of Extinction
[Optional]
[Optional]

Basically you start from the Central Transfer chamber add a hero/hench team as its much much harder when you have them coming from both sides, but if you think you can take them both then go for it. I flagged mines up near the north point where they start coming in so they're names will be grayed out.

Then I setup a EoE(Switch to BM Mask if you have one when using.) near the baby dragon and wait for the first grp to kill the dwarf and start coming down as a pack then basically just close enough to Splinter them and they go down pretty quick as they're only LvL 10-15 at first. Then LvL 20's come with a couple of LvL 15-10 ones, but still all the same easy to kill. If you have trouble just back up a little into the Dwarfs and let them "tank" for you, and just keep firing eventually you'll get through the first west wave and can pickup your loot(shown below).

This is just to fight the first wave only, after that LvL 28 mobs start coming so pickup loot and /resign after the first wave is done.

Hope this helps! :grin:

Corrected an issue that caused Destroyer Cores to drop at a lower-than-expected rate. The number of Destroyer Cores needed for High Priest Alkar’s quest “Destructive Research” has been reduced from 10 to 3.


This farm run should become a lot more profitable now(core-wise), with this update. :grin:

Yeah, Splinter works better on them imo.

Good farm Xito thanks :) I'll try it out once my Ranger/Rit has been dragged through GWEN :p

If you have a few ranks in the Dwarven reputation track, Alkar's Alchemical Acid is a nice skill to compliment a splinter barrage build. It does good damage against destroyers and gives them cracked armor. And in the interest of accuracy... the ritualist skill in this build is "splinter weapon" not "splinter barrage."

nice but if you do the whole run you get hero armor that you can sell for 4k, usually give me around 3-4 cores aswell with hero/henches.

Normal return is 0-3 cores per run +/- the boss green.

Don't make me spank ya!

51? what is with this 51??? :tongue:


That's ye olde trapper's set of armour with Radiants on everything except the chest piece which has a Pyrebound on it coz I like blowing up firey stuff :smiley:

Works out as a grand total of 32 plus the Mindclouder for 52. (Dunno why you think its 51??)

51 +1 Morale Boost? /Randomness :P

No its a base 52 that would have topped up to 53 had recharging been complete when I took the screenie - note the >>> pips.

I wondered Fay was picking hairs about - must be that. :smiley:

Well, you get the >>> even at full energy, it's only health that stops pipping on you. It looks full and the drop messages had faded so I assumed 51. But even given that, with mindclouder and rads you should be at 53, hence my original comment.

I think you need a recount though because chest would drop you down to 50 if you didn't have a rad on it.

These things are important :smiley:

LOL! Indeed, but it is 52. I don't need a BM rune on a trapping set so its replaced with an Attunement for the extra +2.

I didn't think I was going mad just quite yet :smiley:

call me a noob, but Im having a hard time with this, Ive watched the vid, but it seems that the dwarfen soliders just cant stand the destroyers spikes? I let them kill the first dwarf, they are now bunched, but as soon as the 2nd dwarf runs they all smash him to bits leaving me exposed, i fall back but again the archers cant handle it...i can kill about 75% of the frist wave then im a gonna. Im using drago's.

It seems as Vengful weapon is killing me, they cast it on themselves and with barrage it knocks off alot of my health...
