Sliver Ele Boss Farmer

[Seijin]

I was going to help SF the other night with this build to farm Bolten. He's located outside Kodash Bazaar.


He carries a recurve bow
+5e
crippling
+30hp

Here's the code for the build:
A2NRiZ4XHdGP0YsE3GZDXBuD

Skills:
Shadow Form (E)
Sliver Armor
Glyph of Elemental Power
Obsidian Flame
Tenai's Crystals
Crystal Wave
Aftershock
Dark Escape (or Death's Charge)

Equipment:
Anything with extra energy and +enchant.

Earth: 12 + 1 + 3
Shadow Arts: 10
Energy Storage 8 + 1

With a +19 or 20% enchant mod, Shadow form shold last 18 seconds, with the enchant and glyph of elemental power sliver armor should last 14 seconds.

first leave Kodash (without heroes or henchies) and head towards Bolten's area. Wait for the nearest group of 4 heket to walk away. You should see two groups of heket along the shoreline. One group has Bolten in it. The other group should be close by. If the other group has a blue tongued heket in it, resign and come out again. A blue tongued heket will screw the whole thing up. If no blue tongued heket spawned, aggro both groups of heket (make sure you targeted bolten ahead of time) then shadow form and dark escape and run to him or death's charge to him. If you need to, let the heket groups close in a bit before hitting shadow form and going after bolten. I find that running up to most bosses targets sliver armor better against non-monk type bosses. Hit glyph then sliver armor. If bolten is the target then obsidian flame -> tenai's -> crystal wave -> aftershock -> obsidian flame. He should be dead or almost dead by that time.

Of course this build can be changed to farm other bosses as well. Also sins can be used instead of ele's, but against bolten the ele works best.

==========
The sure way I usually kill bolten is to take any melee damage character (sin, war, derv) and load up on attack and degen and bring along my monk mule who throws up 4 enchants. As there's no enemy here that can shatter them, I don't worry about them being ripped.

Basically leave Kodash with heroes, hench, and a bonding prot monk (just take a guildie if you can't use a mule ). clear all the other heket out. When they're cleared, send the heroes/hench flagged away. Bolten will chase them, so you have to body block him along the buildings, then he's stuck and you can just keep attacking him. Sometimes he doesn't even attack you.

Since you'll always kill him this way, your chances are relatively high in getting his bow. I tried this during a non green weekend and got 7 bows in roughly 25 attempts. Had I stopped at my 7th bow, it would have been 7 in 20 attempts.

This is a relatively easy run to do and bolten's recurve bow can be sold for roughly 10-15k I think. I use them on jin usually and use modded recurves on margrid.
