User:Zdain/N/E Low Level Speed Farmer

Anyone can farm low-level monsters for loot with pretty much any build on a level 20 character. Even just wanding or beating everything to death with The Ugly Stick can work. Minions are also popular for this stuff, but they move terribly slowly, even with Paragon speed buffs.

The point of this build is to do it as quickly as possible during events where collectable drops may be exchanged for something moderately useful.

One of the better places to use this build is the Plains of Jarin outside Kamadan, collecting Sentient Roots and Juvenile Termite Legs for items such as Wintergreen Candy Canes and Spiked Eggnog. During events, you may also get special drops like Candy Cane Shards. It's also a good way to pick up a bunch of free dye.

Equipment

 * The Nightbringer, or a +20% enchantments weapon and an offhand that boosts skill recharge.

Usage
Low level monsters have low armor. The idea is to use fast spammable skills with decent physical or elemental damage such that you're doing way more damage than specified for the skill versus 60 armor and get mostly 1-shot kills.


 * Keep Storm Djinn's Haste running constantly.
 * Target the nearest low level creature and cast Deathly Chill on it. In the Plains of Jarin, the level 1 and 2 monsters should die with one cast, levels 6-8 will take a few more. Hit Tab, and kill another.
 * If Deathly Chill is recharging, go down the list of skills.
 * If there are multiple monsters in an area, use Icy Veins to instantly kill a group.
 * Chances are you'll never run low on energy or health, but if you do - use Consume Corpse to regen.
 * Consume Corpse may also be used to pick up drops more quickly by teleporting directly to them.

Counters
Occasionally, you may fall asleep farming these areas. You may also find yourself unable to pick up items once your inventory becomes filled with useless weapons.
