Farming

Locations

Bukdek Byway

Farm Afflicted in Bukdek Byway right outside of Kaineng Center.

Shadow's Passage

Exit from Dragon's Throat. The first 2 groups are small, easy to solo. Mesmers remove enchantments.

Farming in Shenzun Tunnels

Shenzun Tunnels

Enter Shenzun Tunnels from Sunjiang District (outpost). Clear the area south of Sunjiang District, then northwest up to the water. Head back east and finish in the south-west.

Seafarer's Rest

Leave from Seafarer's Rest into Rhea's Crater. 20 Afflicted 1 minute south yields about 1 Putrid Cyst every 5 minutes for a party with 2 hench.

Tactics

• Killing the Afflicted Monks (Ray of Judgment), Afflicted Assassins (Shadow Form), and Afflicted Ritualists (Flesh of My Flesh) takes priority over all other targets.
