[edit] Equipment

• Armor: Max armor, the above runes and then Geomancers Insignia on all pieces.
• Weapons: Any weapon set with an +20% enchantment mod. Energy just has to be at least 35.

• If not using Geomancer Insignias, use any max shield. This will reduce damage to zero.

[edit] Usage

• Start at Longeye's Ledge and run to Jaga Moraine. You should be able to avoid all monsters
• If you trigger a Frost Wurm, run away and cast Stoneflesh Aura at a secure distance, it reduces the Wurm Bile's damage from 40 to 7. This can be difficult due to the KD it gives you as it moved to you and pops.
• After you enter Jaga Moraine, receive the hunt.
• Cast Glyph of Swiftness followed by Obsidian Flesh, Stoneflesh Aura, and Mantra of Earth.
• Aggro as many foes as you can.
• When you see that Stone Flesh Aura is nearly recharged, cast Glyph of Swiftness and then Stoneflesh Aura, and Obsidian Flesh when it's recharged.
• When all monsters have been aggroed, cast Ether Nightmare followed by Cry of Pain and then Teinai's Crystals or Crystal Wave. Repeat that until the Vaettirs are dead.
• Pick up your drops and zone out the door and back in.

[edit] Notes

• Energy is unlikely to be a problem, because you gain 2 energy per hit.
• Using elemental damage is a poor choice because Vaettir have high armor against earth damage.
• Spectral Vaettirs' attacks deal earth damage, causing Mantra of Earth to trigger.
• If you switch Storm Djinn's Haste for Stone Striker, you can use this build to farm the first 2 groups of Snowmen in The Secret Lair Of The Snowmen.
