[edit] Farming
[edit] Locations
- Nebo Terrace
- Up to 17 Gypsie Ettins can be found around Nebo Village: a group of 2 near the Statue of Dwayna to the south (will often aggro on the nearby tengu); a group of 3 (sometimes including the boss Glutt Wallop) to the north; and 4 groups of 1–3 to the west. A short walk from either Beetletun or Bergen Hot Springs will get you to the ettin's range, although you'll have to fight through some mergoyles, tengu, and/or undead on the way. Use the portal to North Kryta Province to rezone in order to avoid having to repeatedly fight through the other monsters.
- If your character has the War in Kryta event active, there will be a Peacekeeper roadblock on the way from Beetletun, which will delay you with an unskippable dialogue. It may be easier for such characters if you leave from Bergen instead.
- North Kryta Province
- A few ettin can be found just east of the Ascalon Settlement. This is not a very efficient farming location, as they are too far away from a portal for quick rezoning.
[edit] Tactics
- As Gypsie Ettins are melee fighters, anti-melee tactics are recommended. Also, consider interrupting their Healing Signets.
- Skills that block attacks are not useful since Gypsie Ettins use Irresistible Blow, which causes knockdown when blocked.
- Skills that deal damage when a foe attacks, like Empathy or Spiteful Spirit, should work well. Skills that increase armor, like Physical Resistance, are also useful.
