Build:E/Mo 330hp Sliver Farmer

A general purpose spin on the classic 55 Monk, the 330 Elementalist. Using Protection and Earth Magic skills this build negates any direct damage, and can farm both casters and physicals in Hard Mode. As the build's core consists of only a handful of skills, it is highly customizable.

Glyph of Renewal
Hulking Stone Elementals

Recommended skills: +


 * Start from Sardelac Sanitarium.
 * Go north, maintain your enchants and just follow the road.
 * Ball up as many elementals as possible.

Stalking Nephilia

Jade Brotherhood Knights

Charr

Recommended skills: + either  or


 * Start the Nolani Academy Mission.
 * Display your Ebon Vanguard Agent title if you have one, the Rebel Yell bonus works here!
 * Check which boss has spawned - if it's Red Eye, /resign. If not, proceed.
 * Apply all your enchants (except Sliver) before right before pulling the lever.
 * After pulling the lever, start running towards the gate. Try not to get bodyblocked by the charr.
 * At the gate use your anti-KD skill and refresh your enchants. Wait for the Charr to ball on you a bit then run outside.
 * There's an effigy in a pit, circle around it just once. When you're halfway through, refresh your enchants again.
 * If done right, the Flame Wielders and the boss should be balled up. Run to them, use your anti-KD, refresh enchants, put down EBSoH and start spiking.
 * Kill priority: Flame Wielder > Boss > Melee charr > Stalkers. Once the Flame Wielders are down you no longer have to use the anti-KD skill, but until then maintain it on CD.
 * It's important to kill Stalkers last. Their rapid ranged attacks serve as constant fuel for Sliver Armor thus making your job easier.

Dragon Mosses

 * Required quest: The Halcyon Job.
 * Don't do any of the objectives, just rush straight to the village - Assassins spawn near villagers.
 * Bring anti-kd, do one group at a time.

Bosses


 * Tahkayun Tsi. Use the surrounding ranged mobs to fuel SA, bring to boost the effectiveness of Stoneflesh if you also wish to kill the surrounding mantids later on.
 * Ziinjuu Life Crawler. Try to position yourself in a way that only the boss is in range of SA. Nearby kappa patrols can be aggro'd for more SA ticks. Bring a running skill.

Obsidian Flesh
Torment Creatures

Recommended skills: + Bring a Ranger hero with [[Edge of Extinction@16]. Snowmen
 * Enter the Domain of Fear from the Gate of Fear with your Lightbringer title on. The higher the rank, the better.
 * Flag your hero near the portal, enchant yourself, then ball the multiple groups in front of you. Those will be composed of mostly Rains of Terror and Spears of Torment.
 * Be careful not to aggro Scythes of Chaos, as they can interrupt you. If no Scythes of Chaos accompany the Storm of Anguish, you can take on his group.
 * When everything is balled, bring your hero into spirit range, have him cast EoE, then flag him out of range. Cast Sliver armor (multiple times) so everything dies.

 * Arrving again near your starting point, do the Right Wall Block with your ball near the rock formation to the right of the lava lake opening (in front of the Resurrection Shrine, next to a burnt tree).
 * Start casting your offensive skills between your enchantments.
 * Aftershock is more efficent than Sliver Armor here, as it will deny the Flesh Golems the opportunity to create minions to heal themselves (using ).
