Hey guys, made this one request , a few viewers have been asking about a nice fast solo expertise farm for people who may not have a ton of free play time with work.. This one is perfect, log in farm for a bit, log out at this location ready to go next time!!
Fresh level 60, never been to reekwater. I ran straight through to trigger the shrine. Died one, almost died thrice. Then double backed to kill The Sirens Fury. Done two test kills, got two Bulletstorms. Thanks for the grind spot
I just made a new account and I’m getting close to 60 and I think this is going to be very beneficial. Thank you, much appreciated! Really enjoy your unique guides!
If you have like 1-2 hours time a day do your daily 25 Dungeon runs inside genesis and kill the first boss + chest then repeat its the fastest way to get expertise over your 25 runs you get like 50+ bumps
Thx for this I’m a new player making the jump from console so I’m dead in the water as far as new world knowledge goes, and your channel and guides are the bible for me atm keep the beginner videos coming thank you 😃🤭😃
Damn I farmed my two pieces of the Harbinger set by solo killing the Brute with the cheese method. But this looks like it's tons faster, I whish I knew this beforehand ^^
Did you have to run through all the mobs to get to that spot? Also, after I finally got to the spot. I killed her twice, but then it would not reset for me. I ran up there and grabbed the 2 bags, but then got chased down the ramp trying to get back to the spot. She did not reset for me.
@Kris Ash I was solo the first time I tried it. Then, the next day or two, 3 others in my company went there and when we reached the spot that we should have been able to see her, she was not there. We went up to the platform and nothing was there. We returned back to the respawn point, but still no luck. I may try it again solo today.
Hey, ive been there, well i still am there. But im bot getting expertise after killing it like 30 times anddd i cant seem to get up there like you did.. just impossible and dead trying it, might it be "fixed"?
still works, but will take some time, killed her 20 times and got 1 increase in expertise Cant tell what is harder, getting to bridge or getting past mobs to climb wall before they manage to hit me XD
This spot must have been nerfed. You can still kill her over and over but after killing her about 30-ish times I got 1 expertise drop and I'm 500 all around. Running up the wall to get the loot no longer seems to work either.
@5 Head Survival Gaming maybe bad rng idk but I was it for half an hour before I realized I wasn't getting any gs bumps...let alone a single purple. It was mostly greens.
@Villiage_idiot I guess I was having a lot of good rng the previous days. Was just a drastic decrease by comparison, and I seem to still be in a slump there only getting greens and the occasional blue. :(
Well for a hour it was working(or at least the loot was dropping and I was able to get to it), then outta nowhere the gate closed on me. Must be Day/Night timed or something. Unfortunately during that hour I didn't receive any Expertise.
this is way more tricky than comes across in the video for a total noob. the mob will start to reset if you cant kill it really really fast, my 500 bow works only sometimes. also would be nice to have a bit more explanation of how to climb the wall to get up and loot, it seems like if you cant make that climb 1st time every time youre gonna get decked.....
Can anyone help the mob near death retreats and doesn’t take damage can’t find a way around it also the door is closed and can’t go upto her at all Mabey level the bow more idk help please
I've spent some time on this and honestly I think there are better ways to spend time. I get far more expertise bumps in a Wall/Helio/Myrk/Mine train per hour than doing this solo. So, IMHO you're better off working on foraging and leveling your skills and trades when there isn't any trains popping.
there are side benfits to this, but for ONLY expertise, ya running in groups is always better, however for someone who for example has maxed their chest or ring, or even helm, and taken it too 620.. this is awesome, because the items still drop as rolls, meaning at 620 most of the tiem they roll 599.. this means you can upgrade them too 600 for less shards then you get back for salvaging, you get 50 for salvage, and also you get infused fragments :)
So maxing skills increases expertise too 🤔 I’ve been having trouble finding a group for dungeons and trying to solo lvl 60 zones because I’m a fresh 60 and my gear score is low 500’s
@@RomanMechau No, it doesn't. I'm just saying farming this elite mob isn't an efficient use of time. Time that could be better spend in other areas of the game. For a new 60, just get the Brimstone Stands quest done so you can enter the zone without dying and join the Helio/Cast/Beds trains. You'll get to 600 fast doing that and at least on Orofena (US East) they pop several times a day.
@@5HeadSurvivalGaming Also tested it today at 500 expertise. No expertise from kills. Also the big double doors remain closed so no way to retreive loot
Fun fact: forecastle is pronounced more like "folk-sul" than "four-castle", because nautical terms don't believe in being pronounced the way they're spelled. (You can google audio pronunciations to see / hear what I mean)
ya, they are 590, but this mob doesnt drop the new named he drops stuff like harbinger and the ring, these are not normalized to 590, they still give expertise and drop random, not all named where changed :)
tbh terrible directions, using "here" with no visual indicators on the map was stupid there are multiple entrances, and then "just run in and avoid the elites until you reach this area here" u didnt show how u got there so as a first timer running thru i died multiple times looking for the spot cuz the whole area is bridges, u shouldve just recorded yourself running there from the entrance
it is the most commonly run area since the launch of the game, and it is on the main path, the reason I used here and didnt include a map is because it would have seemed like i was stretching the video.. it would be like showing you on a map with visual directions how to get to the storage shed in Windsward
@@5HeadSurvivalGaming u addressed first timers in the video so u knew there are people that haven’t been there before, u also had 44 seconds of nothing during the intro where u could’ve just showed u running in thru the whole thing in the background while u talked, not hating just simple things that could’ve made the video better
@@5HeadSurvivalGaming and about the storage shed comment honestly new world map has an icon for that, u could’ve also just showed the map when u were standing in the spot so we could see where it was in the area instead of blank map of the area
So, she does still spawn up there. Some people are abusing a glitch inside the event location and killing the brute inside the building, though, he cannot damage the players as he only attacks the upper-floor and cannot hit the players on the bottom floor attacking him. wtf...
As a first timer, the fact you havent shown the exact pin of the bridge meant I couldnt find it before the elites got me. Cheers for wasting an hour of my life. Downvoted

Yep, don't disagree, but I have made video's covering like 30 different ways including dungeons :) I just keep getting requests for other options :P
Watched this and headed there immediately. After 2 and a half hour I got all the harbinger pieces it had to offer.
nice
Holy moly! Man I was worried that I’d never be able to finish the harbinger set~ love it!

Simple and effective, this is probably a good source to anyone just playing the game solo or pretty much PvE
ive just tested it for 20 minutes and i say its a very good farm
it really is
Can I just simply say.. I adore your videos.. thank you that is all
Wow, thank you!
Wasn't the resetting of mob spawns disallowed by ags? It was a reaction to the go behind this tree to respawn mob thing in SM.
this is an event, so it will reset regardless, they disabled the loot from this guy for 4 months while looking at it, then re enabled it.. so
tips on doing the wall jump? always die there :(
Just run up and hold block the entire time your jumping
Did you have to run through all the mobs to get to that spot? Also, after I finally got to the spot. I killed her twice, but then it would not reset for me. I ran up there and grabbed the 2 bags, but then got chased down the ramp trying to get back to the spot. She did not reset for me.

New 60 here, I'm assuming I should also respec to dex? Does it matter?
nah doesn't matter much
Hey, ive been there, well i still am there. But im bot getting expertise after killing it like 30 times anddd i cant seem to get up there like you did.. just impossible and dead trying it, might it be "fixed"?
you have to hold block with a weapon out, a melee weapon, while you jump, its block climbing :)
What's the build recommended for this? I see a bow but what stats and gear?
no recommended , he is simple, you could be a pvp bruiser, and toss on a bow and kill him
@@5HeadSurvivalGaming awesome good to know!!
still works, but will take some time, killed her 20 times and got 1 increase in expertise
Cant tell what is harder, getting to bridge or getting past mobs to climb wall before they manage to hit me XD
ya they nerfed world drop bumps to hell
How do you climb the wall? I tried it and couldn't get up there.
hold block the whole time while jumping
@@5HeadSurvivalGaming ty
I really wish you would be much more specific on how to get to wherever this place is. I have never been here.
The safe area is the long bridge that has an island in the middle of it, that links Siren's Stand to the rest of the elite mob area north of it.
This spot must have been nerfed. You can still kill her over and over but after killing her about 30-ish times I got 1 expertise drop and I'm 500 all around.
Running up the wall to get the loot no longer seems to work either.
Better than nothing. thanks for sharing.
You got that right!
Was this secretly patched in one of the two recent updates the last few days?
no idea why ? is it no longer dropping loot again ? I can test
@5 Head Survival Gaming maybe bad rng idk but I was it for half an hour before I realized I wasn't getting any gs bumps...let alone a single purple. It was mostly greens.
Nope it works. But like anything that's RNG based, you can have long dry spells.
@Villiage_idiot I guess I was having a lot of good rng the previous days. Was just a drastic decrease by comparison, and I seem to still be in a slump there only getting greens and the occasional blue. :(
Tried it.. the door was closed.. is there a quest i need to do first?
killing her is what opens the door, are you on the wrong side ? climb up and kill her
Is there a trick to it, a prequest or something? I just went to that spot and no Siren's Fury there, just a bunch of regulars.
Thx!
Got her to respawn. I agroed the brute and ran off back to the bridge.
Killed her a few times but nothing's happening. 😀
make a tent here at the entrance... where is here, what entrance...
LOL exactly
the entrance to sirens..

it wont reset, i did it on a fresh 60 str speced in random gear, if its resetting your standing too far back
I got two bumps of expertise but no loot currently and that was Mabey my 10th kill
Last time I got to the top of this area, the gate was closed so how do I climb up the wall to get the loot when the door is closed?
I have 600 gear score on all my armour and my 2 main weapons but am struggling now to get my jewellery up, any tips?
For jewelery I would focus on casts

cannot climb up anymore
ya you can, you have to block climb
@@5HeadSurvivalGaming I experienced the same its not the block climb its the door is closed to get to her.
Man as i saw you get around 400shards per gypsium opening while it is around 170-190 for mines?
What is the difference?
the expertise of the slot, thats why its best to level everything too 620 before taking 1 to 625

It means someone's in the area, and has killed it preventing spawn

Does this still work or no
yes it does

weird, maybe bad luck ? I got my alt to 600 in 3 slots there yesterday

@@jscarpetta1 doing it atm, am getting bumps but very slowly
yeah, I farmed it for about an hour and a half and got 2 bumps
@@jscarpetta1 This still works. I've gotten 2 Expertise bumps in about 20 or so kills. Sucks that I'm not getting any weapon mastery points though.

Did they fix this farm i'm currently doing it and am not getting any expertise per kill
It is MAYBE a bump every 30 kills.
doesn't work anymore. she doesn't drop anything unfortunately
hum it's look's like the mob you're farming have been deleted i don't see him at this spot :(
he hasnt, he opens the door, if he isnt there then someone else is around
Seems this no longer works. Killed her about 10 times or so and never had a bump in my expertise. Either really unlucky or they patched this.
they reduced the chances to get expertise bumps when killing open world bosses a few patches ago
@@5HeadSurvivalGaming Ahh. Sad. TY for the response!
Very little/No expertise bumps and the wall is hard to glitch up so you just die over and over. do not recommend this.
you are block climbing, not glitching.. and it is not difficult.. you shouldn't be dieing there
I can't climb the tower, and the pnj killed me every time.
Im doing this for a while now and i really drop a lot of stuff but i wont get any expertise.... still at ~500
It is not respawning to me
just run back and wait a sec, if it isn't your not back far enough
Where is this exactly? It all looks the same and can't find your starting point.
it is sirens in reekwater
ruclips.net/video/Xd98jVb5wUE/видео.html
they must have fixed this, killed her 20 times no expertise, couldnt climb up and collect loot either. mobs just wrecked me
just tried and same for me
You have to block climb it, it was never simply climbable.. I just tested and no trouble getting up to loot him, will test on alt for expertise
Update: can kill cannot climb the wall
block jump
Not sure why but she wont respawn
Maybe someone else in range ?
doesnt work anymore
it does tested today, updated guide coming :)
