Windsward Outer Amrine Temple Farm

Good Morning Friends! Yesterday we had a patch to the game that introduced the Turkulon event and it might have impacted drop rates on these bosses. My friend Vern was trying to farm Putris and having no luck, but I joined him out there and started getting drops within no time. So I am not sure if Vern is just unlucky or if the 590 items are a bit rarer than they were previously. I just wanted to give you a heads-up as you venture forth to farm gear, that it might take longer than expected or that drop chances might go up if you are in a group. Today’s farm is pretty simple and involves the level 24 elite named Kar-El the Gate Keeper that guards the giant blue door at the outdoor portion of the Amrine Temple complex. There are only two drops available on the loot table, but they seemed to drop quicker than some of the camps but your mileage may vary.
The easiest port to get to this encounter is to go straight north from the Amrine Temple Expedition teleport and then loop along the top of the Amrine Complex and enter from the north. This will allow you to ascend to the top of the temple area where this boss spawns. I tried to come in from the Windsward side which is also doable, but it involved running around a lot until I could find a place to ascend. While you are set up there you might end up needing to clear a half dozen random ancient spawns that also appear on this top tier of the temple. The boss itself has the standard five to six-minute respawn timer, with the occasional random instant respawn behavior that most encounters seem to have.
I came out here to add a Fire Staff to my repertoire of 590 weapons for every possible type. However, there is also a pretty decent focus necklace that might be a solid pickup for healers. The necklace for me at least seemed to be more common than the Fire Staff as I got five of them to drop before getting my first staff. Again your mileage may vary because the game seems to “stick” on a single drop when farming these 590 items. You might have the opposite scenario of getting nothing but Fire Staves. Unfortunately, there seems to be nothing much else of note on the drop table other than these two items. This farm was pretty straightforward and seemed to have better drop chances than Scratchy for example. It took me a little less than two hours to farm up both items and then move on to the next farm. I will admit though Vern gave me a bit of a heart attack yesterday making me think that after all of this work, they had done something to remove the 590 drops. While I have not verified all of the camps since the patch, I can verify that Putris and Red Claw are both still dropping so it is highly likely that everything is as well. I still have several more of these, so I might break my own rule and post on Saturday just to churn through them and get them out the door. Again I have collected all of these into a category on the blog where you can find all of my Loot Farm guides for New World. As always if you know any great spots that I have not visited that drop level 590 gear, please drop me a line below.

AggroChat #126 – The Tales of Maj’Eyal Show

Tonight Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Koda, Tam and Thalen talk about the September Game Club Title – Tales of Maj’Eyal

It is time once again for the AggroChat Game Club and during the month of September the pick fell on Ashgar.  He wanted to choose a classic rogue-like game, but wanted to try and choose one of the more accessible ones.  As a result we are playing Tales of Maj’Eyal or Tales of Middle Earth as it was originally known.  The game is an open source title that runs on the T-Engine, however I believe most of us played through on the Steam release.  What makes the game unique is that it has a number of variable difficulty settings that make it more or less rogue-like.  So join us as we delve into a fairly nostalgic trip into the re-imagined past.

 

AggroChat #124 – The Witness Show

This week Ashgar, Belghast, Inky Kodra, Tam and Thalen discuss the August Game Club game The Witness

This week we finally get around to discussing the August AggroChat Game Club title, The Witness.  The game has been called a bunch of things, but the most common assessment has related it to Myst.  We discuss why this is probably a bad comparison among other things.  This absolutely clicked with some of our team, and others bounced super hard off of the title.  Much discussion is had however and that was the entire point of doing a Game Club so it feels like this title was an absolute success.  Join us as we delve into the game in a spoilery journey into The Witness.

 

AggroChat #109 – The Dishonored Show

Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Tam and Thalen talk about the May AggroChat Game Club game… Dishonored

After taking a break for the Memorial Day weekend, AggroChat is back with the slightly belated May Game Club show for Dishonored.  This was a Belghast pick and in part due to a conversation between he and Tam about stealth mechanics in games.  This is the only stealthy game that Belghast has managed to complete, and in truth the game is really even more amazing on a second play.  This is as usual a complete spoilers show where we talk about the various endings and choices that the game gives you for both high and low chaos modes.
