Equipment

• Any armor will do, however you will need to bring your health down to 330 and it must be Infused. The exact number is not required, but must be over 250. Wearing a Superior Rune in both Earth Magic and Energy Storage is the best way reach 330 health.
• A +20% Enchantment staff is recommended.

Usage

The route.

• Enter the mission and cast Balthazar's Spirit.
  • Wait for the Mursaat casters to agrro the Dwarf NPC and run off.
  • Once gone, run up to the Dwarf Corpses. You can find them by using the Alt and Ctrl buttons.
• Use Protective Spirit and Stoneflesh Aura, then Aggro the 2 mobs of Jade.
  • Quickly run up the hill to the third Jade mob.
  • There will be a Jade Bow at the top, once you are in front of him, you will be safe from both sides.
  • As long as you are quick to run into the safe zone, the Mursaat won't bother you.
• Use Protective Spirit and Stoneflesh Aura again, drop Ward of Stability and use Sliver Armor.
• Heal with Zealous Benediction as needed.
  • If you are low on health and Protective Spirit is flashing, use Protective Spirit first.
  • Always have Stoneflesh Aura after Protective Spirit, as Stoneflesh Aura will absorb the 33 damage given by Protective Spirit.
• Use Teinai's Crystals and Crystal Wave energy permitting.
• If damaged monsters flee, wand them, and they will return.
• Renew your skill cycle as needed.

Counters

• Knockdowns without Ward of Stability and Interrupts will stop you. You cannot farm the Mursaat themselves, as the Mesmers will interrupt you and the Necromancers will throw hefty health degen on you. Avoiding them is easy, just follow the steps in the Usage Section.

Variants

• Farming other areas is not hard, just bring the core skills Protective Spirit, Stoneflesh Aura and Balthazar's Spirit, you can tank most mobs. Optional skills will vary on the mob.

• One recommended place for farming is the Tusked Howlers outside Yohlon Haven. They tend to work pretty efficently.

• Another place this works is outside the Dajkah Inlet. The mesmer boss outside (Eshim Mindclouder) is farmable with some effort. The degen he and his group has makes healing and watching Protective Spirit and Stoneflesh Aura absolutely vital. When farming The Mindclouder I recommend taking the skill Aftershock in place of Teinai's Crystals for better energy management and effiecent damage dealing.

List of Farmable Areas

• Jade outside of the Ring of Fire mission.

Notes

• Energy may be a problem if you continuously spam skills, use them only when you need to, it's better to finish the run a few seconds later than forfit the run in impatience.
• When facing Jade Bows, you will no longer need Ward of Stability.
