Talk:Mandragor Root

Anyone know where is the best place to farm them and the build to farm them ? (for the sweet tooth title). --Benoit flageol 16:49, 24 March 2007 (CDT)

Jahai Bluffs and Arkjok Ward are filled with lots of Mandragor, and it's an easy access from Sunspear Sanctuary. Shadow Form or Spell Breaker based farming works okay. Not sure about specific builds. (T/C) 16:52, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I admit I haven't tried it, but does Shadow Form actually work against Mandragor? I know I have a bit of a hard time (not insurmountable, but annoying) keeping enchantments up there, because the Imps use Chilblains, which as we all know removes Shadow Form. I can see VWK farming working... but this is all just "armchair farming," haven't actually tested it. Zaq 17:07, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Hmm, perhaps it was just a lucky day for me, they didn't seem to be too hot on the Chilblains. Maybe it was because I took out the Imps first. :S If nothing else, those skills will allow you to run away. And yeh, VWK, Vengeful Weapon, etc. seems like it would work. I'm also thinking about a solo Virulence/Death Necro farmer with Disease skills? Could keep hitting those and running. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 19:06, 25 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I doubt that Rt/Me Vengeful Farmer would work even in hard mode. Chilblains from the Imps can strip SV and AV, thus leaving you quite vulnerable to Mandragor Slither, which can use Distracting Blow to interrupt Vengeful Was Khanhei (despite the 3/4 casting time, AI tends to have higher reflexes and thus can interrupt skills within 3/4 casting time. I even had faced situations that the AI interrupted 1/4 casting time skills). Although you are quite smart on casting Arcane Echo beforehand, you must be really quick on doing so. Mantra of Resolve can be used to counter the Mandragor Slither disruption, but they can freely use Wild Blow to end it, THEN use Distracting Blow. I'm not sure of Stoneflesh Aura by Stoneflesh Mandragor would reduce damage from life steal by VWK but I'm assure that you won't be attacking or moving anyways when he use Ebon Hawk.--Dark Paladin X 06:48, 11 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Confirmed, Mandragors aren't farmable with VWK, even in Normal Mode. It is because Stoning and Headbutt deals more damage (+100 damage to be exact) than it can steal.--Dark Paladin X 04:37, 13 July 2007 (CDT)
 * yay. --[[Image:Warwick sig.JPG]] Warwick (Talk)/(Contr. ) 19:30, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Can farm with VwK just take a R/Mo ( or Mo/R ) that has Serpents Quickness, Quickening Zephyr, Tranquility ( to make mandragors enchant more ) ,essence bond, balthazars spirit, life barrier and blessed signet.

 * Builds? :P -- F1Sig.png  † F1 ©  Talk  16:20, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd like some suggestions yes. I have no qlue. SF doesn't really work I beleive, due to life steal. Arnout aka The Emperors Angel 16:23, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If you are like me dont know where the Mands are in Arkjok, best to come from Yohlon and in the southern part of the map. 1 run with full henchies earned 2 roots (average) :S Vnyuszi 17:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * People have gone insane, 10-15k each root O_O--BioSpark 17:28, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If you're interested, Sabway works. GW-Topinambour 18:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Everything works. The trick behind getting any drops is solo, tho. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  18:05, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Try perma + bonder-support
 * Also try shadow of haste + some awesome combo that lets you kill one of them. In addition, does using Hard Mode let you grab more of these?

OK say you are like me and you hate assassins? Any semi-decent farming areas? 24.10.219.64 03:14, 12 May 2009 (UTC)Agent K
 * 600HP didn't work pretty good because of the necros casting chilblains and remove the important ench. spellbreaker don't last long enough =(

The only thing that has worked for me is just ritualist spirit spammer with vanguard assassin support in normal mode. Get a few spirits down, launch the assassin, retreat, putting down spirits when you can. It's not super fast but you can go solo and everything that drops is yours. Add in a friend on mm or just about anything else and you'll steam roll. Shambolica 11:23, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
