Farming NEW dungeon for Minax Arty's... Any results yet?

[Alpha]

I'm just wondering what people are script killing in the New Dungeon and what kinda numbers on Minax Arty drops they are getting per hour etc..?   I was thinking of Killing the Slayer... with a decent luck samp almost as fast as it spawns, but dind't get any drops after about 20 minutes so just wondering what sort of results people are having so far.   Anyone??

Total crap luck here, 3 arty's after about 3 hours total of farming, pretty much all over the place. Nothing, I give up - I hate *bleep* like that.

Spent a couple of hours testing some stuff on the general dungeon trash (non invasion stuff) and got 4 arties.

Hmm...   ok I might have to stick it out for say a 10 hour stretch then on the biggest dungeon critter (non-captain) I can do which is the Slayer I'd think and see what kinda results I get.   I could definitely use a couple 100 invasion arty's for the items I wanted but TOTALLY 100% afk'ing the Captains isn't something I think I can do with a solo account, so I was hoping I could ditch the grind for the arties and just farm lesser stuff etc.

  I read on stratics some of the slayers are spawning with paragon type stats, crap resists and 25k hit points.

Yeah, Funny thing. I never Noticed until I read that post. I must of killed 1000's

And having killed "thousands" how many arties / hr would you say.  I take em out in like 10 sec on a samp but the results weren't impressive though I didn't give it long.

I have been out of the loop - what are the arties like?

They're "minor" arties practically shame loot with a different tag. You turn those in for higher end rewards. Basically the main rewards are different styles of mace and shields, night eyes, a DCI cloak, different styles of the luck garb and Lt sash versions like a doublet.

The More People you Cram in their the better the Results alpha, but it Still isn't Insanely Impressive.

Ah....  it hadn't occurred to me to think about how the looting rights work.  I can see where looting rights on a party of 7 let's say generate a more artys etc....

I believe it is more like the ToT or 10th anniv drops.  If more people makes a difference, though, I'm going to radically change my approach!

Well, you aren't factoring in the rate of spawn. They gave these buggers the old Fel Ruleset of an almost instantaneous Spawn. If it takes you 10 seconds to kill, with a 5 second respawn timer, your 10 second Kill is slowing it down considerably. You triple your man power and bring it down in say 2-3 seconds. then you double your Speed.

In all honesty though, the mages will give you just as good of results with less effort/manpower. Toss a thrower in the big room, and a thrower in between the smaller rooms. WHam bam Thank you mam.

Wait.. let me get this right? So you can farm the 2 gold elementals in the little room with the forge, which die in a couple of hits and get the same arties, at the same rate, as farming the hard invasion spawn plus a bunch of gold ingots?

I wouldn't say at the same rate... I get 1-2 arties off every captain I am on, with about 97% success rate.
