For this weeks farm i went straight to Lahtenda Bog for my Corsair/Silver Bullion Coin farming.
For this farm u will have to go south in Lahtenda Bog and just past the resurrection shrine in the southern center before u see any Corsairs, but in the interest of getting another item the Traveler will need (I assume everyone saves that shit now since we know all the items he will ever want) i recommend that u farm here.
You will have to fight through some Mandragors (which is not a bad thing as i have said since they drop Mandragor Swamp Roots which u will need for the Traveler later, again as i have said
) and some Termites mixed with Nephilas (who drop shit u don't need). Also the Corsair groups may give u a few Copper Shillings from their lower-level members but this is also not a bad thing (once again...
) since u will need these too for the Traveler eventually.
From the south central shrine i mentioned above continue south eastern towards the next shrine, which is just below a Copper Shilling Collector AND a Silver Bullion Coin Collector (this is why i chose this area to farm, if the Collectors are here....it has to be a good spot
).
Now u are going to move south again to....that's right...ANOTHER resurrection shrine with more Corsairs there as well along the way.
From here u can't GO any further south
so,
just meander around southernly along the southernly edge of the map till u reach the most south-west edge of the map.
Now go northernly toward yet another resurrection shrine. And slightly above that, or rather northernly above that, is where this farm ends.
Generally, Corsairs will be in groups of 3-5, with some groups slight overlapping in patrol radius's, but nothing major like getting gang-mobbed. I found that i got a Silver Bullion Coin either every group (with the larger groups) or about every other group (vs the smaller groups).
In all i got 17 Silver Bullion Coins (that's 7 MORE than Nick needs), as well as 5 Copper Shillings and 1 Mandragor Swamp Root, in the one run i did, and the runs don't take too long, maybe 15-20 minutes at most.
So, all and all, I'd say it was a good day
The SoS Solo i used this week was this;>
Pain>
Vampirism>
Blood Song >
Disenchantment (this is more for the Stoneflesh Mandragors, since they use Stoneflesh...what a surprise there
)
>
Signet of Spirits (ofc)
>
Mend Body and Soul (again, more for the Mandragors (but some of the Corsairs can cause Bleeding). Mandragors like to condition u (and KD u too btw), its a trait they all share regardless what part of Tyria u find them in. It seems to be an esteem issue they have stemming from their own condition....not a bug....yet not a lizard either
)
>
Armor of Unfeeling (necessary as with any SoS solo farm vs anything above level 10)
>
Summon Spirits (using your highest Luxon or Kurzick rank if u have the skill from both factions)
See u all next week,
