A route similar to the one used to get to [[Nicholas the Traveler|Nick]] can be used to farm the hides required. On the map given the blue dots represent groups usually consisting of 1 [[Behemoth Gravebane]] and 2 [[Scytheclaw Behemoth]]s. The third blue dot is a group of several Behemoths including the boss [[Eshekibeh Longneck]]. The behemoth groups alone should not pose a challenge to a well balanced group. The [[Scytheclaw Behemoth]] have a few dangerous dervish attacks, but the damage can easily be mitigated by spreading out. The [[Behemoth Gravebane]] use the spell [[Toxic Chill]] but otherwise are not a very serious threat. They can create a minion and use the minion to heal themselves, therefore it is better to kill them first then finish off the [[Scytheclaw Behemoth]]s. The boss groups requires some pulling, and it is advisable to eliminate the group of [[Heket]] and [[Skree]] close to them before engaging the group. |

There will be groups of [[Behemoth Gravebane]], and mixed groups. The Dervish boss [[Marobeh Sharptail]] is along the path. This route has many more groups of behemoths than the first one listed. Because of this it is much easier for a group to get over run. Another danger is pulling more than one group at a time. The groups at some points are so close to each other it is easy to pull 2 or 3 groups at once. This can easily get an entire group killed. |

For solo farming a 600/smite build will work because there is no enchant removal from the Behemoth. A [[Shadow Form]] sin can also farm them. The only danger to the SF is from the [[Scytheclaw Behemoth]]s aoe damage so a [[Shadow Refuge|regen]] skill is advised. |

Revision as of 06:06, 11 August 2009
Guide to Item of the Week Farming
Background: Every week, Nicholas the Traveler requests a different item in exchange for Gifts of the Traveler. These items of the week end up being very valuable for a short period, since the gifts can usually be sold for 4 
–5 (and opening the gifts yields valuable items). Veteran players usually have no trouble farming the item using advanced (although standard) builds and they have access to the ideal farming locations. This guide, however, is designed to help the relatively new player, who has fewer skills and might need to unlock the farming area.
Week of August 10, 2009: Behemoth Hides
Summary
- Item: Behemoth Hides
- Found In: several areas in Vabbi, dropped by Scytheclaw Behemoths and Behemoth Gravebane.
Getting to Nick
Nicholas the Traveler is a near-straight shot east of Dzagonur Bastion (location). From Dzagonur Bastion (location) take the exit into Wilderness of Bahdza. Continue east and you will come to a small path between two large mountains. Nick is located just on the other side. There will be a group of Skree and Heket around him.
Farming for Behemoth Hides
A route similar to the one used to get to Nick can be used to farm the hides required. On the map given the blue dots represent groups usually consisting of 1 Behemoth Gravebane and 2 Scytheclaw Behemoths. The third blue dot is a group of several Behemoths including the boss Eshekibeh Longneck. The behemoth groups alone should not pose a challenge to a well balanced group. The Scytheclaw Behemoth have a few dangerous dervish attacks, but the damage can easily be mitigated by spreading out. The Behemoth Gravebane use the spell Toxic Chill but otherwise are not a very serious threat. They can create a minion and use the minion to heal themselves, therefore it is better to kill them first then finish off the Scytheclaw Behemoths. The boss groups requires some pulling, and it is advisable to eliminate the group of Heket and Skree close to them before engaging the group.
Another route that uses the 2nd map is starting from Jennur's Horde (location). Take the exit into Vehjin Mines. Continue along the path given. There will be groups of Behemoth Gravebane, and mixed groups. The Dervish boss Marobeh Sharptail is along the path. This route has many more groups of behemoths than the first one listed. Because of this it is much easier for a group to get over run. Another danger is pulling more than one group at a time. The groups at some points are so close to each other it is easy to pull 2 or 3 groups at once. This can easily get an entire group killed.
Solo Farming
For solo farming a 600/smite build will work because there is no enchant removal from the Behemoth. A Shadow Form sin can also farm them. The only danger to the SF is from the Scytheclaw Behemoths aoe damage so a regen skill is advised.
