Ecto/Shard/GoTT Farm Questions

Hi all,

I'm a returning player back from 2008, I played quite a bit but never really got into the endgame, I've been exploring build pages and resources including Peter Kadar's videos to better understand ecto farming and which character or build would be the best to get to the endgame to start farming some real money.

From your experience, which would be the best character/build for ecto farming where I could get somewhere between 5-10 ectos an hour, also interested in some chaos axe drops?

Looking at the E/any UW Wastes Farmer, Rt SoS, VoS Derv, seems the VoS Derv is the best option since it can also farm FoW for shards?

In addition, could a 55 monk farm most of the Nick sets? Got this build set up before I quit back in the day.

Thanks for your time!

Hey there and welcome back,

I think watching Peters' video helps alot by understanding what is possible and how to do it.

Derv is by far the most versatile class for solo farming. He covered a few options for uw and also fow.
so e.g. you want to farm everything for a fow armor, I think derv works best and is the easiest.

Hope that helps

With 11 old characters I was struggling on which to spend the most time on to get farming options up and running, this is very helpful thank you!

I think for farming currently the best is dervish, although the handle or ranger is also good

SoS is also very good at soloing for nick sets

Vos is best class for nick items + uw + fow. Rit is also strong for nick items.

I would not farm uw for ectos. Fow farm is ok when its free entrance week.

55 monk is quite useless. Just a few places where it works

Normally people do chest runs and hm OS item farms for money.
