Videos


Summary

Requirements
  • QUICKSILVER FLASK(S)
    I recommend Ample Quicksilver Flasks of Adrenaline

    -----------------
  • CULLING STRIKE ATTACK/SPELL
    I recommend Arc or Incinerate linked with IIR/IIQ/Culling Strike

    -----------------
  • DECENT IIQ/IIR
    Remember: Quantity is more important than rarity
    -----------------
  • PORTAL GEM (OPTIONAL)
Cavern of Anger run strategy
  • RUSH AS FAST AS POSSIBLE
    Don't stop!
    -----------------
  • ONLY KILL MONSTERS IF...
    1) you run out of Quicksilver charges
    2) it's a rare/unique mob
    3) mobs are blocking your way (desync alert)
Farming process step by step
  • 1) WAYPOINT
    » The Cavern of Wrath

  • 2) RUSH THROUGH WRATH
    » Then spawn a portal before The Cavern of Anger entrance
    -----------------
  • 3) RUSH THROUGH ANGER
    -----------------
  • 4) KILL MERVEIL
    Use your culling strike attack/spell to finish off her second form
    -----------------
  • 5) LEAVE THROUGH THE EXIT
    And use the waypoint in The Southern Forest to get back to Lioneye's Watch
    -----------------
  • 6) GO INTO YOUR PORTAL
    -----------------
  • 7) SPAWN A NEW PORTAL
    And create a new Cavern of Anger instance by clicking the entrance while holding CTRL.

FAQ
  • How much IIQ/IIR do I need to do these runs?
    I think if you can get about 50 IIQ and 100 IIR from your gear, that's already pretty good and you'll see quite many uniques dropping if you use your IIQ/IIR/Culling combination

    I need your questions :)

How about using 30% ms boots instead of goldwyrm for the running part?
Thanks for the guide, I'll try it out.

Since you're resetting instances so quickly, do you even bother picking up rares?

Better yet use movement skills, preferably Leap Slam linked with Faster Attack. It is actually much faster and you can take quite a lot of shortcuts with it.

It's even better with Shavronne's Pace (35% ms) if you have CI, you can definitely use them for the runs but I'd swap them for the Goldwyrm at Merveil.

No, I don't pick up rares, since the results are 99% crap. Well, sometimes wands or rings. If you are farming alterations you should do it, extremely efficient.

I have these in my weapon swap. I agree, perfect for even faster runs.

My guide isn't about currency, how to make profit or how to get orbs. It's about having fun farming and playing the actual content, not about playing trade chat.

Anyways, I have to confirm that "mariviel" drops a lot of worthless stuff. But did I mention that I already found three Tabula Rasas, a Marohi Erqi, two Heartbreakers and so many other good endgame uniques that are worth quite a lot? All that just by grinding easy content extremely fast, which I think is more than fair.

Thanks for your input though!

Thanks for the tutorial, nice :)

I was under the impression that in newer patches IIR was better than IIQ now?

You're welcome!

Well, there is no IIQ in the new leagues, except for unique items with IIQ mods. IIQ is still better than IIR, because mathematically 1 IIQ is equivalent to 2.5 IIR. There's a long explanation about this somewhere, if I can find it i'll link it :)
