Where to farm Nil Crystals

Y_Sli · 11-03-2006, 01:26 PM

I usually farm Nil Crystals in Harclave. The buff made it easy to move quickly from group to group. However, I'm getting bored and was wondering if anyone had any other good spots to farm them. Basically, I'm looking for any spot that has a lot of groups of 5 mobs and are higher than lvl 20, but as low level as possible to allow them to be burned down quickly.

Caltoris ruins east of oracle tower in Antonica. There are a dozen or so lvl 17-18 aoe encounters all the way up the coast to windstalker village.1 Curse of Isolation + 1 chaostorm = 5 nil crystals.

Erhm, I think if you play the class more efficiently you don't need to "farm" crystals.I've never had a shortage of crystals.

Ditto, use more debuffs and less Netherlords on raids and you should be gtg.

It isn't a matter of using less Nethlords and other spells that use nil crystals, I don't tend to use them very much. I just like to have a couple stacks so that I don't need to waste time/power casting any of the spells that give nil crystals during a raid. The power and time is better spent debuffing, doing dmg, or feeding power to the healers/mt.Thanks for the hint on Caltorsis. I had completely forgotten about it.

Because I don't really pay attention, I discovered on a raid the other day I was carrying over 1800 nil crystals.

They aren't a problem to get, that's for sure.

... neither of which are worth their cast times in a raid. You'd know that if you weren't such a "n00b" yourself.

I usually like Caltorsis because if you get lucky, and have M1 of the hp/pp debuff, you can just kill the mobs with your debuff SMILEY

Using the debuffs that give crystals significantly lower your dps output. And netherlord will punch a debuffed raid mob for 600 dmg every few seconds (ive seen him crit for 800). Excellent dps.30 minutes in antonica will give me 4 or 5 stacks of nil crystals that will last a week or 2 of raiding. No brainer for me.I only use Curse of Void on orange con raid mobs. /shrugDaenarys70 WarlockMob SquadKithicor
