Equipment

 * Armor: Any armor is good. i.e. Blessed, Geomancer, Prismatic or Sentry's insignias.
 * Weapons: A single handed weapon with a +20% enchantment mod. Have a Shield with added armor against Earth damage to reduce damage to a minimum.

General tips

 * Maintain spell immunity by using Glyph of Swiftness &rarr; Obsidian Flesh.
 * Maintain damage mitigation with Stoneflesh Aura.
 * Maintain energy with Mantra of Earth and Stone Striker.
 * Ideally, you want to cast in this order; Glyph of Swiftness &rarr; Obsidian Flesh &rarr; Sliver Armor &rarr; Crystal Wave for maximum damage.
 * Position yourself to hit the maximum number of enemies with Radiation Field and Crystal Wave.

Directions

 * Enter the FoW.
 * Follow the path going into the FoW Beach and keep all tanking defenses up.
 * Depending on the route you take, the mobs of Shadow Army may follow you (see the video for a route where they lose aggro) and kill a couple of the Ancient Skales,  Snarling Driftwood, and  Doubter's Dryders at the entrance.
 * Keep walking into the Beach and they will break aggro.
 * Run up to the mob on the right and walk towards the largest concentration of casters.
 * The warrior foes will follow you at melee range.
 * Maintain your defenses and kill the melee foes with your attack skills. Use the ranged foes as fuel for Sliver Armor vs the melee foes.
 * Pull the next group of melee foes from the south.
 * Then kill the ranged foes.
 * Kill everything on the beach in the same manner as you did with the first mob.

Variants

 * Replace Radiation Field with what ever you like. Some examples may be:
 * [[Storm Djinn's Haste@10]
 * [[Arcane Echo]
 * [[Aura of Restoration@7] for farming the Spider Cave.
