Title: Soil Farming
Post by: Kamiden on Oct 26, 2010, 03:25 AM
:Make:
Bard - 99 luk, A Whistle (Lv10), and Musical lesson (Lv10) Alternate account.
**Sinx - Morrigane's set, poring card, wild rose card, fortune sword x2. Meteor assault, pick stone, throw stone (He should have 100+ PD with a whistle)
Rogue - intimidate (Lv5)

:Process:
STEP 1: Intimidate soils in louyang field 1 until you get one on shout mountain.
STEP 2: Bring your bard/sinx onto shout mountain.
STEP 3: Use a whistle every 50 seconds. I do 40 to be on the safe side.
STEP 4: Attract the Mi Gao on your sinx with throw stone.
STEP 5: Wait forever. It'll multiply, attract all the new ones until it gets hard to keep up with.

Repeat from 6 to 8.
STEP 6: Start attracting them with meteor assault, whistle stays on you for 20 seconds after you leave it's AoE.
STEP 7: At 2000, lag like hell.
STEP 8: Kill most of them with your desired character, keep roughly 500 for more breeding.


:NOTES:
**Assuming you have 80+ PD, you can just use Pine Jubilees instead of a bard. Those you get from exchanging fur in the new world. Look that quest up on irowiki.

**If you DO use a bard, you can just use a random +5 PD headgear along with wild rose, two yoyos, two fortune swords, and a falcon muffler on the sinx. If there is no +5 PD headgear, then a morrigane's mant or a valkyrie mant with a choco will do.

It is smart to do the quest or get a priest to warp portal you up there.

If you have a knight and a veteran's sword, enchant him with fire and they will die instantly at max str. He's the best soil killer.

Assuming you're on a server that doesn't crash a lot, it's well worth it to find a room to do it in with plant cult+azeroth or hylzo card, that way you don't run the risk of someone walking past and stealing them, killing them and making you have to re-do it or anything.

Feel free to rewrite this. It's 3:30AM here, I'm tired and feel like I forgot something.

OH! If you own a server, specify whether this is allowed or not. Silence is consent. ;D

Sounds like it would be faster to tele around and kill them as you find them instead of waiting for a gigantic mob to build up.

It is tested to be much faster to kill them by the thousand. :P

This is true. However a lot of servers don't allow you to cultivate a plant in a building. Also, it's akin to kill stealing if they do destroy your farm. Though this is a great thing, I feel like I should add it to the OP. xD

bard alone (with soul link) could have good PD. But gear would be a pain: Improved Tights + 2 Linen Glove
Mobbing them with Unchained Serenade, I guess

Hmm...what purpose would someone want to farm soils so intensively?  It sounds like decent experience, despite the ridiculous setup, but...surely there is a point I'm missing here?

I don't think "You didn't say so, so it's okay" will fly with many servers, especially since more owners won't see this thread than will.

The purpose is to have one of the quickest leveling methods AND gain loads of zeny. They drop about 600z each, plus the chance of gold/great natures. 600 x 2000 = 1.2m. And repeating is quicker because you start from roughly 500 instead of one. Probably 4 mil per hour minimum after the first time.

Also -- Most of the time, if there was no rule against it, you are free to do so until it is discovered. And then it is up to the Admins whether to outlaw it or not. It is not a glitch or a bug, it's done on iRO. :P

This sounds like a good idea to farm up some levels and zeny.
Thanks for this information!

(Always nice to know some leveling/farm-alternatives.)

High Orcs are better exp/hr than soils.  Just saying.
Title: Re: Soil Farming
Post by: Zereges on Oct 29, 2010, 05:59 AM
Impossible, last time we farm soils, we killed about 10k soils per hour (in 4 days we have more than 380K killed soils - our server has mob count feature)
We had about 150golds and 60cards (and many many great natures) on 2/2/2 rates
It's about 55/40M exp per hour.
Posted on: Oct 27, 2010, 06:24 pm
Sorry for double post but can some1 tell me how many mobs thay can kill per hour? we are killing about 2000. Should it be better? Or is it ok?
Title: Re: Soil Farming
Post by: Kamiden on Nov 01, 2010, 02:55 PM
You can kill more soils per hour if you don't dual client. With PD food and 80 PD. It can be up to 30k soils per hour. :O
Title: Re: Soil Farming
Post by: Zereges on Nov 01, 2010, 05:31 PM

How do you specifically do this?!?
but sounds/looks VERY Interesting to do  ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Soil Farming
Post by: Orange on Mar 04, 2011, 11:26 PM
He kind of explained in detail ~_~

Got disabled at server I was at, but I managed to get about 15 99/69-70 trans in a few days(Well few weeks but I only did it on weekends) on 7/7/5, at that time I don't think anyone else owned more than 1 99 trans. Using 2x mimic and a myst case card I farmed up a few hundred mil to, which put let me outgear entire guilds(Other than 1 which could farm GDB etc ;_;) I highly suggest server owners disable this.

Pine jubilee is made from a new world quest, requires you to get 5 fur from tatacho/hillsion

QuoteThis is true. However a lot of servers don't allow you to cultivate a plant in a building. Also, it's akin to kill stealing if they do destroy your farm. Though this is a great thing, I feel like I should add it to the OP. xD
99% of servers will reject a report on someone killing ones you're not tanking, so they can KS. They can troll and kill your mob, while they MIGHT get punished you still have to re-set up. It's not worth the risk if you're on a decently populated server. Also I rarely see servers have no cultivating in buildings :|

Also, 1 sinx tanking can push out about 200/min(12k/hour) and you can do it with multiple on a good map, me and a few friends did it and we were killing ~60k an hour

Pretty sure you can do it without the Morrigane set.  It's surprisingly easy to reach the 100 PD.

is any way to get 100 PD without support characters and custom equips

So this is how its done. I've heard people talk about this before, but I'm completely clueless how its done. Thanks for the guide. Now! on to my future zenies Muahaha :D
Title: Re: Soil Farming
Post by: Secret Duckie on Sep 09, 2011, 12:36 PM
I personally think it's more beneficial to use other methods to get your zeny, although it's an easy way to leech characters.

Quote from: Kamiden on Oct 26, 2010, 03:25 AMOH! If you own a server, specify whether this is allowed or not. Silence is consent. ;D

For the record, if you're wondering, NeuRO -did- allow this, but people were multiplying them so much we were worried that it was the cause of quite a few crashes. We ended up removing the skill because even if it wasn't what was crashing us, it sure as hell was causing a lot of lag. Haha!

People were doing 2000+ at a time, over and over. ):
