What are people using to farm Shame, Samp? I got one-hit killed trying out Shame the other night. Level 3, some fire elemental thing. Was having fun until then lol.
Let me guess: You were in vamp form holding an opposite slayer? Those fire elementals are brutal and can whack you. It is *almost* like the Dev team did a quick pull of the most popular templates and designed a monster to snipe people running past with that gear.
Lets see. 3 Mod Ring, Probably Killing Earth Elementals Level 2 Shame or Molten Earth Elementals with 1500~2000 Ish Luck.
Almost certainly exactly correct.
Hmm.. Well I've "evaluated" over 200k Items from level 2 Shame (Mud / Clay / G. Earth / Fire/ Troll ) with 2000 Luck & CLAw hasn't pulled anything like that yet & YES the rules are correct. I guess I'll have to give Molten's a try.
I think you may just be epically unlucky? You might try dropping your luck to the 1400-1800 range (irony!). I long ago lost track of how many items I was evaluating a day, but I think it was 10,000 at the height of my farming operation.**
The Clays on level two give the highest intensity loot, if I recall correctly. Basically, whatever drops the most gold drops the highest intensity loot. If you're not getting >450 gold (INCLUDING the luck boost) from the monster you are killing, you can't spawn loot that sells frequently enough to be worth your time. 800+ for clean legendary items.
I'm willing to be proven wrong, but I don't think there are many people who have spent more time in that cave than me!
**Enough items that TM had to modify the cLAW just to fix my memory leak. That's a lot of item evaluation!
EDIT: Removed a section that made me sound like a bragging Scripty. Sorry if you read that before I changed it!
