Archive:Any/Rt Norn Fighting Tournament Farmer

This is a very effective Norn Fighting Tournament (solo quest) build. Players find it extremely useful as it can be used with any character to quickly and efficiently complete the quest Round One: Fight! and/or collect Bison Championship Tokens. Each round takes approximately 15 seconds to complete. (Including the 6th and final round, Magni the Bison).

Equipment

 * Any armor is sufficient, preferably with Radiant Insignia, a Rune of Superior Vigor and runes of Attunement
 * A high energy set (such as 15/-1 wands or +20 Staffs). Likely necessary for low energy Martial Professions (Warriors and Paragons) but isn't required.
 * If your character is a primary Ritualist, then higher attributes (runes, headgear) will obviously yield better results

Usage

 * Walk into the gateway, stopping halfway through (You may fail to find the correct spot at first but it can be done with some practice)
 * Cast your spirits (If you positioned yourself correctly in the previous step, the spirits will still be able to attack through the door after it closes)
 * Against foes with AoE damage, consider moving sideways after casting so that the spirits will not be quickly destroyed
 * Against certain opponents, you may save time by leaving out Shadowsong (which is not useful vs. spellcasters) Experiment to find the fastest combination of spirits for each opponent
 * Aggravate your opponent using Painful Bond.
 * Repeat the above procedure for all opponents leading up to Magni the Bison. Against Magni, walk into the gateway and casts spirits, as before, then:

Counters

 * AoE (Scythes, Cynn).
 * Melonni if she gets her form up.
 * Razah can be difficult, as he uses the same spirit build (counter this by using a longbow so Razah's spirits cannot hit you).
 * Warmaster Tydus uses a longbow so your spirits sometimes cannot hit (position yourself in the corner to pull him closer).
 * Gwen will also spam Spiritual Pain to quickly destroy your spirits.
