Just to help make this a perfect thread....we need to include...Trucks...Mama...Prison...and getting drunk...or how to make a 100% Fire Double Axe

Firstly you need a Blacksmith/Imbuer...the closer to 120 on each the better.

Option 1(Cheapest):
1.  Dull Copper Runic Hammers(reforges 60% fire Weapons) ~30,000GP each or bribe BOD's...check out Tower of Roses BOD Rewards
(I would be safe to say at least 10 hammers)
2.  Iron ingots/Bronze ingots maybe 5k eack
2. Use your blacksmith/Imbuer to craft 30 Double Axes (use regular Iron and standard tongs)
3. Reforge each one...selecting Grand Artifice and Inspired Artifice (select the Exquiste/ of quality name)
4. When you get a 60% Fire/40 Physical...Enhance with bronze to get 100% fire (You will fail enhancing 2 out 3 times so don't worry...if you have a +60 blacksmithy hammer, equip it and you will succeed 9 out of 10 times, or buy the guarantted enancement tool, which is 100% guarantee)

Salvage all useless axes(make sure you have mining on to get max ingots back) and repeat...you sometimes get a 50% fire with a single mod...stay at it and you will get several good 60% fire options

Option 2:
1.  Copper Runic Hammers(to reforge 100% fire weapons) 80,000-250,000gps each or bribe BOD's...check out Tower of Roses BOD Rewards
(I would be safe to say at least 10 hammers)
2.  Iron ingots...5k again
2. Use your blacksmith to craft 30 Double Axes (use regular Iron and standard tongs)
3. Reforge each one...selecting Grand Artifice and Inspired Artifice (select the Exquiste/ of quality name)
4. When you get a 100% Fire...you are all done.

Salvage all useless axes(make sure you have mining on to get max ingots back) and repeat...you should see a bunch of 100% weapons...

Once you have your 100% axe, imbue it up to your preferences...don't forget to powder of fortification is first though.

Good Luck, I hope I helped.

The discord thingy is my own creation...own being relative since I cobbled together most of the code pirated from honest hard working scripters.  It is extremely inefficient...embarrasses me professionally due to lack of modularization and description, and has lines that I can't remember why I have them...but leave in because the thing works.  I am not sure of the rules for this forum...can I attach it here?

That's my little discord/WOD character I haul around with me.  Usually stays hidden until the main boss then discords and can WOD at the end.  I control him from that panel.  Came about on my quest for a slither...cut my fight time down to about 25min....when doing 5 a day for 5 months, a discorder really pays off.  Additionally it helps on the felluca spawns.  I expanded his responsibilities for this spawn, since it is neutral.   He just stands there and discords all spawn long...Pays huge dividends when I get a full load of Paragon Satyrs...

Just to confirm...now that I have been skunked 10 times in a row...

I am switching out my Sampire for a Mystic/Bard...Discord/Provokr/Rising Colossus...

Missing the buildup to the Champion has no affect to the frop rate...Does it?

My paranoia is screaming  :o

Did it....2hrs and here is what I changed.

Shifted to EC, with the macro war/honor/wait for target/target selected/lightening strike/attack selected.... set to the "1" key (can't use select nearest enemy or mobile in the macro because it would sometimes get a paragon...so I went to manual targeting)

then i would use mouse wheel to select target, run close hit 1, lightning strike/lightning strike/double strike

with the honor always going, didn't need to even shift my suit to a high mana regen...the constant honor kept me full. (This was using the defiler of virtue)

Additionally, I used a second account with a discord script discording Centaurs/Satyrs/and Grizzlies. 

The key I believe...and I cannot prove it...is that I do not believe all the levels require the same kills...I time each level..and the first level of Satyrs took eight minutes, next was 6mins, next was 5....so it seems to me that the higher levels require lower kills.  What this means, is the first level of Satyrs, put the timer on....kill off as many paragons as you can(setting up the nxt levels), then before ten minutes...advance the spawn.  I could never get past that 1st level of Satyrs and the discorder helped a little, but I don't think it pushed me over the edge.  Where the discorder was invaluable, was filling up with paragon satyrs, I was able to kill a couple that were discorded without having the spawn regress due to running out of time.

After that, it was a discorded Twalo vs a Rising Collusses and a Paragon Grizzly....

No Drop, but victory none the less.

My thanks goes out to Ultima for this thread *Applauds*

I am going to ignore getting the keys...that is a whole different subject.

Template for 1v1 with shimmering and grizzle

120 Music
120 Discord
120 Spellweaving
120 Mysticism
120 Focus
100 Magery
20 Necro

All 70's suit, 100%LRC, 40%LMC, 15pts Mana Regen
Bleue ring/Braclet Set
Scrappers
MPO w/ SDI
Museum of Vesper Chaos Shield

Bloodwood Spirit and Ossrian Grimore (for Necro Bump) in pack

Only Setup is to get a level 6 Focus

Get in there and fire off rising Collossus...
Discord Her...
Rising Collossus...
Rising Collossus...
 
1 after another...She has fantastic Dispel, but I find she will fight 1 long enough for me to get my mana up.

I tend to die 4-5 times, but with the Alter outside it is no big deal.  She also doesn't go into super heal until well after WOD range.

She will slow as her HP's go down and I just run around the square pavilion thing and as long as you are on the opposite side you are ok.

I have found the need to clear out her errant spawns...get them seperated, discord them, then toss a collossus at them..

When she gets down to WOD level, shift to Wraith form (Grimore and Bloodwood) and spam WOD.  You won't run out of mana, just keep a
collossus on her and she will be dead in no time.

Short and sweet, also works for the grizzle, except you can't die.  He doesn't dispel, so always have a rising cocked and ready to go and you will be fine.

Good Luck.

Another failure here....I keep filling up with Para Satyr's... >:(

I believe the developers are watching me and as soon as I get to 4 white candles the fill me up with golden bastards and laugh.

Tried to clear out a couple and move on and had a "Let me outta here moment...resulting in death"

Candle regression....depression.....angry logout.....

Will try again Sat....

The original post is fantastic and took a "I will never solo that one" to "this just might happen".

I thought I would share a few things that I have found over the last couple days.

Important Weapons -
Swords - Defiler of Virtue - Fey Slayer Katana (Double Strike/Armor Ignor) (25% ssi, 50% hit lightning, 30% hit Lower Defence, Stam Regen 2, FC 1, DI 60%), works wonders on the Satyrs and Centaurs.  Now this weapon doesn't have any leaches so I carry a Shield with 30% Soul Charge, and am anal about the honor(not so much on 2nd level but definitely 3rd because you get that little mana bump), divine fury for stamina...along with EOO.  These swords are out there for sale...running between 3-4 mil.

Archers - Ironwood Composite Bow - Few Slayer(Medusa Drop) (moving shot/Armor Ignor)- Solo can move through level 1 quick, Level 2 is a grind(takes me 9min 30s to hit enough Centaurs) so there is not alot of down time.  2 Archers might have a better time. I could not kill enough Satyrs to solo this spawn with 1 char.  On a side note this bow rocks the first 3 levels of the Forest Lord spawn, because of the ridges( the monsters spawn on) and impassable trees to get to them.  Centaurs are leve 3 here.  Haven't tried a solo there yet (last was with 2 other people(no raid yeeaaa), but will work that once I get the Dreadhorn.  Any Sampire worth his salt can kill Medusa in 45-40 min, and the bow is a fairly common drop, and there is also that possibility of the Slither Drop.

Level 1 - Works perfectly as original post
Level 2 - It seems they changed to AI of archers to run and shoot instead of swarm.  Mouse wheel and chasing them down you can kill them in 1(with Armor ignor) or 2 hits.  I vary, managing my mana since the weapon doesn't have any leeches.  I run about a 6min per red candle.  Use you time here and at about 5min with 4 whites, take out a couple Paragon Centaurs(with Honor) and get your mana up.
Level 3-Still have trouble here killing enough but the Defiler of Virtue certainly helped - Honor, Lightning Strike, Double Strike, Lightning Strike, Lightning Strike - Or if you miss then another double strike(honor is key here for mana)...don't us armor ignor because you get more points with double strike.  I noticed that the initial reds I was running about 9min 45secs, but the 3rd candle of this level took me around 6mins...Not sure if there is anything to it though.
Level 4 - Works perfectly as original post
Twalo - Kicked my Sampire ass, so I went and got my bard and used Discord/Rising Collosses -

I recommend timing yourselves, if you are at 5min with 1 white at level 3...stop....use the next 5min to kill 2 paragon Satyrs and refresh your drink.

Note 1: The new legendary drops in Cov go a great distance...Hit level 4 and you can really deck yourself out in some serious mana Increase/Intelligence Bonus/Mana Regen...Pay particular note to your Phy resist(Satyr damage), Cold/Energy Resist-For the unfortunate strike from Cus.  Just make sure u kill all the Centaurs...thay are looters, and they seem to like Legendary Artifact cursed items.

Note 2: Archers, this is a perfect spawn for collecting arrows...Blow through the first level, and kill centaurs and collect 75-80 per centaur with 2 hits from the Ironwood Composite Bow...you will be sitting at 10,000 in no time.

Well I hope I have provided something useful here....
