Keep Bank Window Opened During Fights

There is a new bug that has been plaguing us. However, it can be used in an interesting way.

*Anyone who has already updated there Java file may not be able to use this bug as I have not had it happen since I updated it.*

Here is the situation.

While banking people have been reporting bags mysteriously staying open more common with a guild bank than a personal banks, and for me not at all since I patched my java file "I have no idea why that would make a shred of difference."

While this bank is open just drag it out of the way, and go fight stuff. If you get into dutch, simply drag your gear into the bugged bag.

This could possibly take some time to get working, I do remember getting the bugged bag after alt tabbing the most.

Yet another bugged mob spawn

Easy Spawn

Discovered this on a pvp run last night, 3 guys standing around a deathless mage. Corpses of mages everywhere.

This is an instant respawn.

Again be prepared for pvp, if your local to ruby use the bank bug.

Image shows the location on ruby. Kill them how you want, but I was yielding 10k per hour "not including keys and regs."

Varangian Warriors - bugged Mobs

This is a somewhat known mob spawn that is mostly known to the alliance on Niflheim (ice island) If you go here at off hours however, you will most likely find the spawn empty.

Mobs drop full plate armor, gold, major pots, and various other things. Very profitable spawn.

Here's what you do. Run to the crack which is circled in the image below. enter from the south and run all the way to the north of the crack as far as you can go. Once you get to the end there's a tunnel that leads to the left. Go in the tunnel and follow the cavern until you come to a bridge crossing which is above the crack you just ran along. Once you get to the bridge, the varangian warriors will aggro you. Pull your shield out and block while standing right next to the edge of the bridge. Once the mobs start to circle you they will walk right to the edge of the bridge, at which point you use your knockback to knock them into the crack below you. You can do this solo but it's much easier with two people. Once you get a warrior knocked into the crack he will be bugged on the terrain. He can not cast or use any ranged, and he also cant climb or move along the terrain well. All you have to do is stay away from them, mana missile, polearm, arrows, whatever you want to use.

That's it, enjoy your full plate, and if an uber macroed clan comes along and blasts your !@#$%^&* from here to next tuesday don't come whining to me. I warned you.

As an alternative, bring a few good pvpers with you, murder the nubs camping the spawn naked, and take their 10k gold worth of loot.

Gain Rigor Fighting Brownies

As we all know, it's a a huge pain the ass to gain the Rigor skill. There is an area on Agon in which a few small creatures called "Brownies" reside.

The coordinates are as follows:

8 44 e 25 20 s

Rigor gains faster when you are being dealt damage over time (DOT) as opposed to physical melee damage etc. The more "tics" the better. Brownies cast many low damage DOTS that stack and are perfect for quick rigor gains.

What you'll want to do is bring a 1h, a shield, and a TON of food. Since the brownies do such little damage (but attack so frequently), you can tank 4-5 of them at once as you are parrying. If you stand over a rock or a piece of elevated land, they will not use their melee attack and only cast the DOTS. Make sure to keep an eye on your stamina, and if it gets too low you can always rest (even as you\'re getting attacked- the damage will be mostly negated).

This is currently the fastest way to gain rigor in Darkfall since rigor pyramids and acid have been nerfed.

Great excape

I Haven't done this lately, but there is a trick if you were in a dungeon and pks came in.

If you run to the exit and leave you get the loading screen.

While the loading screen is loading you closed your client and then reloged into the game - You would be at your bindspot with everything you had on you.

Darkfall: Best money to be made in the game from a single uber mob + strategy to do it (even solo)

There is a monster named "Baradon" In Darkfall, it is basically a huge forest demon, there are 3 locations where this monster spawns with no other monsters nearby. This monster drops a leenspar key every time you kill it, and usually 1k gold. I think it may also has the chance to drop new rare items since the latest Darkfall housing expansion.

A single archer with 100 archery and 60 sharpshooter can kill the baradon in 20 minutes. The baradon doesn't actually have that many hitpoints compared with what it drops and that's what makes it so good to farm, it has less than the Dark Dragons and Dark Dragons give far less loot.

You need to use a specific strategy to kill the Baradon because it will murder you with melee, and its spells can hurt too but with food and heal self you can get around that, if you get hurt too much by the spells, just pull back for a while to regen some health.

The strategy you should use is to hang on the edge of its spawn area, and maybe slightly inside, you want to make sure you never let it get into melee range, do you by shooting it with your bow and moving backward as it comes to you, make sure it doesn't get to close because if it begins to melee then you are in trouble. The Baradon will chase you as far as the egde of its spawn range, then it will run away, move forward toward it and keep shooting it with arrows until it turns around to chase you again, now you need to start moving backward again, still shooting as you do it. You can repeat this cycle over and over until the Baradon is dead.

The exact spawn locations of the Baradon are all in the centre of agon, you have the black area in the middle, the first spawn is just outside the southeast part of the black area, in a forest area, there are some large stones nearby, aswell as a large cliff behind it, where 3 evil eyes spawn.

The second spawn is almost directly north of this, just head north, you should end up just outside the northeastern side of the black area (not to far north, it's not beyond the chaos stone) The area with the baradon here is thick with forest and this can make it very dangerous because the Baradon can just come out from the trees right up in your face. I wouldn't advice on killing it at this spot.

The 3rd spot is only 30 seconds away, again directly north, you will see a white circle on your minimap, like some kind of monument, when you get to it you will see a small abandonded village there. This is where another baradon spawns, right at the village, he is quite easy to kill here, just use the above strategy I mentioned. To help you with making sure you've found the right spot I will mention that there is a chaos town about 3 minutes run to the northwest of this location.

One more thing, it will help you greatly if you use one of the available Darkfall hacks that give you radar, if you are fighting the Baradon, you want to know if people are trying to creep up on you so you can decide if to run away or not. This one program will save your life again and again. Don't use the hack program for anything else though unless you want to risk being banned. The radar and wallhack are pretty much safe, anything else is risky.
