  • Lava Font.

[edit] Counters

[edit] Variants

• For a Prophecies campaign only version, replace Bed of Coals with Sympathetic Visage, Frozen Burst with Fire Attunement, Teinai's Heat with Inferno or Searing Heat.
• A faster version without a Mesmer secondary can be made by replacing Arcane Echo and Channeling with Glyph of Lesser Energy and Glyph of Sacrifice.

[edit] Notes

• This build was used to farm Kirin outside Maatu Keep but it was nerfed with the Wednesday February 14th update by adding Dragon Moss in the area.
• A recent update made a spawn of monsters usually appear in the pathway to the caves outside of droks making it harder to get to the trolls to farm and to power level.

[edit] Farmable Places

• Outside of Droknar's Forge (Mountain Trolls).
• Ascalon in HM (Hulking Stone Elementals).
• Griffon's Mouth
• Beetletun not a good idea.
