This video shows the "killing" part of one of severall ways to "farm" an Elemental Sword, but using my own variation of a standard build. The example shown here was done in the Nightfall Campaign south of the Remains of Salahja in the Sulferous Wastes - with the quest "A Show of Force" active. You want to do the quest up until you recieve the item "Rune of DOOM" and then head to the area indicated on the map. Activating the shrines spawns more monoliths (the more the better) but you dont need to open all of them for the build to be effective - its just quicker. Once you've finished the run, return to outpost and abandon the quest DON'T ACCEPT THE REWARD!!1!!SHIFTONE!!1! When you are ready to repeat the run simply obtain the quest again.

Skills: Shadow From, Deaths Charge, Glyph of Elemental Power, Silver Armor, Aftershock, Shadow Refuge, Dash and Shadow of Haste.

Attributes: Shadow Arts 12+3, Earth Magic 12, Deadly Arts 3 (more...)

Method: You want to run to the area using a worm dude and try and avoid/sprint out of agro using its speed boost skill. Once at the temple (sprint past pop up group of Mandragors near rez shrine) exit the worm and cast Shadow of Haste. Run towards temple and just before you aggro cast Shadow Form (followed by Deaths charge if you want to quickly get into centre of temple) and click on the shrines to sctivate them. Just before SOH runs out hit Dash to cancel the stance and return to the location you cast it outside. When you're happy with the amount of enemies repeat the above steps but cast Glyph of Elemental Power (preferably before SOH/SF as it gives time for energy to regen) and Silver Armor when you are surrounded by Monoliths - this is your damage skill. Again, just before SF runs out use Dash to return outside then rinse and repeat.

This was done with max AL armor but no armor bonuses or runes, bar the rune of superior shadow arts, however applying more stat boosting runes/insignias can only be a good thing. This is a very slow farm, but the rewards CAN be pretty nice. It is also possible on an E/A.

Yes this is a n00b video but my excuse is that i haven't been on GW in a good few months. However, it also shows that even a n00b can do this run but the chances of a rare drop, even in hard mode, is unlikely.

You have permission to laugh at what happens at the end of the video too. The moral of the story is 1) Don't try and show off with emotes in a video and 2) Watch your back as you shadow step outta there, as they may follow.

No sound, as according to WeGame my soundcard iz teh sux... (less...)
