im surprised that no one has come up with a build for farming yet, i have seen only one or two ppl actually do this. I know only the spear and maybe glaive users can try this but is it really good i mean in other games its like best way to make money and alot of exp but is it same here or waste of mp and hp pots?
im guessing u cant be pure str cause it would take u a while to kill the mobs and pure int is def out of question cause ull use up hp pots like every milisecond so a 2:1 build or what?

it has to be a pure build. I was used to Guild Wars where farming was the only thing people did , unbalanced shit game tbh

ya was a farmer in guild wars and then one day i was like wtf is the point u can get lvl 20 in like 2 days 1 if u got lucky with that serpent quest which i alwyas failed in cause party was dumb everytime.

I'd imagine a Glaive lightning user with heavy AOE could farm multiple aggro mobs at a time with ease, if they were light green. Pots would be used, but drops would easily exceed the cost.

Build for SP farming: Get to lvl 14 with mastery of 9. Get an SoS bow. Buy 10,000 arrows. Kill 10,000 bandit archers. When you level past 18 or so (as soon as archers turn blue) delevel back to 14. Str/int and skills don't matter.

If you just want money: Pure str shield user with inventory of hp berries. Go to bandit den and pick up all the drops you can.

Farming is a means to an end: When you get to higher levels, you can sell your drops for tons of cash. Light green mobs are the best because you can kill them relatively fast, and don't have to worry about dying.

Well, er, um

Are the colors on my flat screen off? I see mobs as

Lightish blue, white (a little gray), orange, and red.

Never green.

Do screen capture, and use a color picker in a Photoshop then. You'll see

Quite true... grey,orange,red are the once i run into all of the time..
sometime i have seen grey or blue

At lvl23 the greens mobs i spoted by misstake was white tigers, so quite below what i should be fighting, that might be the reason why you never see them, you usually have passed that area long ago.

No.. it's just hard to distinguish. On my screen I see, Pink, Orange, White, Turquoise, and Sea Green. Which means most of the time I have a hard time telling the difference between Pink and Orange and the Turquoise and Sea Green. Telling the difference between Turquoise and Sea Green doesn't matter. Telling the difference between almost identical Pink and Orange color can mean life or death. Of which I've died a few times making the wrong determination.

You guys should check your monitor settings, all works fine here.

yes i also see RED ORANGE GREY GREEN BLUE all very distinct

Perhaps you're mildly colorblind? Wikipedia on colorblindness. I don't know how great the pictures on the side of the article are because I can barely see any of 'em, and I'm pretty sure I'm not colorblind. X-p

Or your monitor's tweaked. Monitors often have a setting to switch between "cool" and "warm" colors, which basically tints everything yellow or blue. Depending on which of these you have turned on and which color settings / sliders you have adjusted, green and blue may look more similar than they should.

Yep I once had the same problem back when I was in hell (playing Lineage 2), and it turned out to be my monitor colour settings.

i loved farming demon horses
its the most funny way of grindig.
i think 6 is the maximum of mobs that will aggro you. so just lure these six into another 6-10 and start wrecking them with glaive skills. whenever a mob dies a new one will jump in its place
i often got 2-4 elixirs in 1-2 hours doing this and tons of drops wich easily came up for the price of pots i used. my only problem was, it was hard to find enough horses close enough
i did this til the horses got blue to me, cos it was great xp as well
i took this pics just a few % before i lvled up and the became blue:

the only drawback is repairing like every hour

archers can MOB

sucks

this is not balanced .. in Diablo 2, archers can do multi shot, in this game.. arachers only attacks ONE

Awesome. Is that a STR character or INT?

Ok for clarification the colors are:

red, orange, white, green, blue... and i think im missing one

my char is str and ice.
i say ice is really good at farming like this. if i can slow/freeze 1-2 of the mobs around me that means i will take less dmg from them. if i just wouldnt always run out of mana. should keep an eye on my manabar but i always forget about it. so my char is just standing between the mobs while im hammering on my keyboard like mad
