EU+US 99 Artifact Power

>>near Valdisdall In Stormhiem

One hour of farming in and no epics. :p They dropped a +75 artifact power at the start.

So mindnumbing though...! :(
 
Yeah he said 50 hours on his boomy for the 5 pieces but he got alt pieces I guess China never had separate xp on and off brackets so the 99 scene there is really big and that's where he's getting g his info.

It is the lair dungeon, youtube for all the locations. Gliding over the first boss, and gliding into the cave for the last.

We aren't hardcore farming atm, just doing what we can while our work schedule is so poor so it would be best to farm with others :(
 
I'll probably just specific q wsg for 30 min waits and farm that spot in between once I have my artifact done.
 
Also group farming there doesn't work because you share loot, but if you're in your own group and tagging everything together it would go much more quickly. Just don't party
 
Sorry I forgot to add anyone last night. We were running the dungeon for artifact power. Glider over the first boss, hit all the chests and repeat. 200 ap min and 800 if you're very lucky. Each run was taking 12 to 15 mins on 3 99 twinks.

Do you see on the map near Valdisdall In Stormhiem zone? Slightly southwest of there before the bridge there are 3 small huts showing on the map. Those humoniods are the ones the Chinese 99s are farming to get full 746.

Been farming this spot for the last 5 hours going super hard, only two epic AP dropped, along with a few blue AP. So far, not a single epic or blue piece of gear =(
 
I really wish Blizz had fleshed world epics out a bit more. There's literally no reason for the Chest/Gloves/Belt/Legs to exist sub 101. Having them dilutes the drop table from the items 98-100's actually want.

yeah i got super excited when i saw it then really sad, hopefully some unsuspecting person will buy it off the AH without thinking though
 
2 hours, 5 blue AP, no epics yet. As a hunter I just stand in one spot and turret. So ghey. :p

Can't complain though, the AP is nice.
 
I tried the spot for about 3 hrs, also no luck on epics.... I actually prefer an area just down the road, around 43,48, where three different factions of humanoids are fighting eachother, Bloodtotem Flameheart + others.... It's more open, less barriers and respawn is fast enough that you can costa-kill. Mobs in the are have epics on their loot tables according to wowhead, but no luck so far (around 2 hrs there).
 
I believe all mobs will drop epics. They liked that spot bc humoniods drop cloth too I guess lol.

It's more likely that spot because of near instant respawns since it's a Quest location.
 
Same spot near the bridge.
6.5 hours
11 blue AP
1 epic AP

After 5.5 hours, epic finally dropped. Ulfgor's Greaves of Bravery (shakes fist at the Blizzard gods :mad:)
That's still 925 AP for 142 AP/Hr plus all the Crafting Mats, Vendor Gold, Raw Gold and the few Thousand Gold you'll probably get off that World Epic from some non-Twink who doesn't realize they can get iLvL 800 Quest Legs ;)

EDIT: I'd shit myself if the Fan Trinket dropped for me while farming there.
 
Almost artifact rank 14 on both my twinks (99 holy pal + 99 resto druid) from soloing farming Neth's Lair chests. 99 holy paladin can solo the entire instance easily (worm boss is a bit of pain tho, I actually have to heal myself). I just do it on 2 accounts since the 200 art power from chests is lootable by everyone in the party. The 200 AP is not a guaranteed drop from chests however. 1 guaranteed chest (after 3 boss) and 3 possible random chests.

As mentioned earlier, you just glider past first boss, look for the silver treasure arrow on ur map to find the chests and kill boss 2 & 3. On the third boss you have to click the treasure as fall down the hole to knock it down. So much easier to do if you use some kind of slow fall. I use flexweave underlay from engineering since gliders are 10 g each and why waste one?

Get some decent gold out of it as well. Some mobs can be mined for felslate, greens I disenchant and chests can give junk that sells for 100+ gold each.
 
As a DK you can Death Gate out, reset all instances, then Death Gate back and you'll be at the start of a fresh instance :) If you're farming with someone else, they can leave the group and get ported back to the entrance after 1 min.
 
On my 730-ish assn rogue i cant kill any bosses, but i can shadow step past the second boss to reach those chest areas. Is there only 1 possible chest spawn per instance? Disregarding the worm i cant kill?

It'd save a lot of time to not feel the need to check further in if the chest spawns early on.

Thanks for the heads up on this, BTW... i was pretty much disinterested in grinding the AP i needed on him.

I've only seen 1 chest (not including worm) spawn. Other people are implying that all 3 can spawn for a total of 800 AP in one run, I'm probably just unlucky so far. I'll update this if I see more than 1.

Thanks, i've stopped checking now. I never saw more than one in the 2 ranks of AP i leveled there, so i stopped worrying about it.... dunno why i'm in such a hurry, the run after i made that post i tried gliding over the first boss before the glider cooldown was refreshed. Lol.

Going at under 3-ish minutes a run as a rogue killing nothing, depending where the chest spawns. Maybe 40% drop rate for the AP token so far? Good stuff.

edit- thats with dying after looting the chest and resetting after release brings me back to the entrance. Repairs are cheaper than gliders, it seems.

actually, thinking i should just run naked as i'm not killing anything anyway...
