Farming dungeon shinies

<p>My own focus is 100% devoted to Velious, but when I farmed shinies from the SF zones they used to sell pretty well.  </p>

[Exordus]

<p>i actually made some decent plat and some discos off of shinies in kael. hard to find and some [Removed for Content] hard hitting mobs, but worth it when selling them at twenty to thirty plat each.</p>

I can get about 3-5 t9 rares on a given harvesting spree... I don't mind it though because it's mindless money making. Couple of times a week and I'm set for a while...</p>

[Diamyr]

<p>Thanks for the tip Lempo.</p><p>Gave it a run earlier took about 30 min, most of which was standing around waiting for health to regen.. </p><p>Not so efficient cause i'm still a newbie but 30 min for guaranteed plat and chance of masters is good enough for me.</p>

[Lempo]

<p>yw.</p><p>you'll shave time off as you get used to it.</p><p>take totems for health and power, and you might also want to find some items that proc health/power regen.</p><p> You don't have to clear the second room, jus trun through it and the tunnel and FD in end if that tunnel before doing Kierax.</p>

[Diamyr]

<p>Yeah I FDed around the second room killing the void guys to get the named to pop just on the off-chance of getting a master but it was more trouble than it was worth. Will probably just skip him from now on.</p><p>Didn't even know about totems i'll check that out.</p>

[Umub]

<p>I'm a Ranger, not a monk but I do run OOA lots. Definitely skip the void named - not worth the effort at all. In fact, I skip the entire room and the following hallway and FD (tinkered) right before the entrance to the floating guy. It is worthwhile to kill the last named for transmutables (doesn't take long).</p><p>The only other reason to spend more time there is if you want the shinies. There are 2 or 3 collections in the dungeon plus items for the rare collection which lets you see blue shinies there.</p><p>Harvesting shinies in SF is reasonably lucrative but I believe that every instance requires that you kill a named before the shinies pop. You can do the shinies in the Hole but they aren't selling that well. One of the best instances is RH. You will probably need a healer buddy, but if you kill the first named, you can get 5 shinies with judicious use of FD. Those shinies are selling pretty well.</p>

[Diamyr]

<p>Yeah I still can't see blue shinies since the collection to get the goggles is ridiculously overpriced. </p><p>I guess I could try to farm them but idk how that works exactly and really if i'm going to farm the set i'd probably just sell it.. seeing as how altogether it can easily go for 200p.</p><p>Been doing OOA now and it's ridiculously easy and quick but with a three day lockout it's not a whole lot of cash.</p>

And how would I do it?</p>

[Nebbeny]

press Alt and Z when in game, on the persistant instances tab select the instance you wish to reset, and then click "reset instances" button.

[Diamyr]

<p>Wow I had no idea, everytime I cleared it it showed 3 day cooldown so didn't know you could just.. reset.</p>

[Falreth]

<p>Out of curiosity what is the ridiculously easy way of killing the floating guy as a meleeist I cant seem to kill him and bounch balls and I pretty much suck at bouncing the balls anyway so its just lots of death for me on that guy.</p>

[Diamyr]

<p>You can't skip the orbs, have to get them. Usually 3-4 orbs and he's dead for me, takes 30 sec maybe.</p><p>Wait for them to get near him don't chase out after them.</p>
