It doesn't take a very geared out alt to crush the Dranik's solo, I'd way rather buy up LP than Dminor through Gmajors because of this.

Rat will 1 shot you solo now, regardless of gear, but duo works. You just need a body standing near you to soak the initial flurry of attacks and split the damage. If you're alone, he deals more than 100% of whatever your HP is at the time. Still, it's a very good tactic. I did give it a try when my rogue was almost ready to make uw1-11, but unless I was nearing the end of a "UW kit", I don't have the patience to bother with doing that again. I'd rather just let Dranik slowly build me up over time, then run around and snag whatever else I'm missing to finish the set.

TL:DR if your intention is to get as many gminors / dminors as possible in a quick manner, duo dranik is annoying but still much faster than actually farming those essences.

Mage pet ran in, rat backstabbed mage from 50 feet away. Guess I shoulda stood further back.

ps either way, duo is still the way to go. If you wanna waste the time it takes a pet class to solo the rest of the way be my guest, but I still stand by the pet class / zerker buddy system approach Cool

I typically send in IG pet, hit SA then walk up to max melee range and whack him one shot. Works most of the time.

I log in all 12 toons anyway so that may help mitigate the rat...

Well when I run it with the full crew, I don't bother playing the RNG get stabbed game, I stand back with the warrior, target the rat and hit my assist macro and watch my melee run over and dogpile him. That negates it pretty well.

He really isn't hard at all, if you understand his mechanics.

Flin is alone with the grimoire. I stab it, no wait I backstab it! You can't backstab it, you can't sneak attack an inanimate object. Why not it's prone? It doesn't have a discernible anatomy. It's got a spine doesn't it? *Rolls a 1 and stabs himself.

If you time it right on any melee character, you can send in IG pet and drop him without dying at all.

Updated Floor 6 ToFS price, since this new spawn method has been in the game for quite some time apparently and I never knew. Now, while farming Svart, you can always check for #an_ice_shade to be up, click the floor 6 mirror, kill him, kill vhal, and kill all the trash and potentially get 1-2 more vhal's. Amon on floor 4 is also spawning from random trash kills, pops on top of the body as it dies, similar to Terrorantula.

Edit: Also added Ult Weapon to the sheet just to see what it actually costs (Essence pricing debatable of course but it's a rough estimate) along with a disclaimer on why you should not waste time doing Ult weapons too early (as many of the newer generation of players seem to feel obligated to get their hands on one ASAP)

In the end, it's just a matter of opinion on when to start an Ult Weapon.... BUT! If your goal is efficiency, it's not opinion it is fact: Ult weapon is not an efficient time vs reward. Do not pass up striking up your team, do not pass up building up your warrior's shield of the ages. It really is going to drain you mentally before you even get to see all the content the server has to offer. You will probably get grinded out attempting it too early, but that's the nature of the server. You grind until you don't feel like grinding anymore, take a break, play other casual games, come back one day and hit the grindstone again.
