Making money farming Imbuing Ingriedients

Is there a coveted secret? I have a decent gd and I do fine with the spawns, but it took me an entire hour to gather 5 essences and 2 demon claws and one lava lizard crust. Yet i see vendors stocked with them all the time. XD

Yes, there is a coveted secret.

Beh, those where the fastest replies ever! Seriously, i'm not looking for a free handout, I'm just wondering what I'm doing wrong.

[Cerveza]

Well, you pretty much covered it in your original post.

Your using a GD to do the spawn.

Lemme ask you this question, how long does it take you to do a spawn from start to renowned down?

Answer that question and you will be on the road to enlightenment.

Your Actually sitting there doing it instead of sleeping / watching a movie etc..   That's the 2nd part of your problem. heh

About 20-30 mins

And that doesn't raise any flags to you?

Okay... think about it this way. Ask yourself "Is how I'm doing this the fastest way of doing it?" and see what the answer is to that question.

One Greater Dragon, killing ONE thing at a time with you following it around and hiding is NOT the most efficient method of killing things, is it?

[floofpunkitten]

Well I'm more of a crafter, so i don't know much about hunting. If you can point me in the right directon?

[Masscre]

Does Dexxer help a little while still making you do the biggest part of the work.

[Cerveza]

Farming monsters is much faster with a (or more) Sampire(s) doing the work. Your Greater Dragon is an impressive hunter and can stand toe-to-toe with many of the more dangerous creatures.... but I could kill it with a single sampire, actually rather simply.

If all you have to farm monsters is your tamer, then be happy with 5 essence and 2 dragon claws per hour.

I'll be the nice one and spell it out!

Essentially if you go down there on a Sampire, you can have 5-8 things attacking you at the same time and you just whirlwind through it, leeching back life, mana, and stamina, so that in the end, you're already ready for the next batch. There are many variations on the sampire, so you'll have to find which one works best for whichever ingredients you are farming. The best places are usually Crimson Veins or Cavern of the Discarded.

I will even go a little further.  If you give the search button here on the site a whirl we have about 4 or 5 different post about how to build sampire, sammies, trammies, and other variations. Also tells how to use them and what kind of weapons to carry and what kind of armor to provide the best use.

Thanks! I'll look into this. I hate starting knew characters thought, lol, but i guess tamers just don't cut it anymore.
