Ive seen a lot of variations to farm stygian gems at DOA.<br>
Solo traps, duo traps, raven blessing+hide behind NPC trick and<br>
trap heroway but with a REDUCED DROP/GEM due to heroes sharing.<br>
<br>
Well, for the sake of sharing something that may help, heres a simple trick <br>

I do with my heroes to kill all of the stygian waves and GET ALL THEIR DROPS ALL FOR MYSELF<br>
<i>Also can be used to farm event items due to the sheer amount of mobs</i><br>
<br>
Every full run will ensure 4-10 stygian gems, golds and random normal tomes (necro, ranger, derv etc).<br>
With practice, you can completely wipe all waves in 6-9 mins. <br>

The Farm<br>
<br>
1) Enter Stygian gate in Hardmode press alt and target the ADEPT OF WHISPERS to activate the quest.<br>
N.B. You may have to wait for a passing patrol you may meet going to the NPC quest giver<br>
<br>

<br>
This will activate the waves <br>
<br>
After getting the quest, wait at this spot till the 1st wave have settled around the NPC<br>
<br>
<img src="http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w336/hansbasti/gw002.jpg" alt="" border="0"><br>

<br>
and run around the center block till you reach this place <br>
<br>
<img src="http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w336/hansbasti/gw003spot.jpg" alt="" border="0"><br>
<br>
Once there, <b>DO NOT FORGET to FLAG YOUR HEROES on A SINGLE TIGHT SPOT</b> (over each other so as to focus the traps effectiveness) while you remain a bit at their back<br>
Heres how it looks like:<br>
<img src="http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w336/hansbasti/gw003.jpg" alt="" border="0"><br>
<br>
Begin laying your traps in this order<br>

This has to be done simultaneously = You have to micro all your heroes<br>
<br>
1) All Spirits EW QZ EoE WINNOWING<br>
2) Serpents Quickness for the whole party<br>
3) Echo traps for the first and second heroes<br>
For the third and your traps, lay them as they are sequenced at the bar.<br>
Lay as many as you can while Energizing Wind is up.<br>
<br>
<i>N.B. SIRITS have a 60 Minute RECHARGE time while TRAPS have a 90 SECOND gap till they expire.<br>
It gives you 60 seconds to lay traps using your <i><b>spirit skill recharge</b></i> as timers and use the remaining 30 seconds to reflag hero and AGRO.</i><br>

<br>
After you layed all your traps (roughly around 25-30 traps based on how fast you can do it - takes practice) unflag your heroes and flag them inside this GATE<br>
<br>
<img src="http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w336/hansbasti/flaggate.jpg" alt="" border="0"><br>
<br>
The idea is to flag the away at the remaining 30 seconds you have to avoid them stealing all your drops and gems when you agro.<br>
<br>
This is the right good spot when they can be safely flagged inside, where they wont agro any mobs passing and spawning and still be far enough not to take any of your drops.<br>
<br>
<img src="http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w336/hansbasti/flagstone.jpg" alt="" border="0"><br>
<br>
After flagging your heroes, go back to your targets, get the nearest one and cast <i>MARK OF PAIN</i> to agro them plus add to the damage the traps will do. Run behind your spirits<br>

<br>
N.B.Dont forget to use run skills both on yourself and your heroes to easily reach your destinations.<br>
<br>
<img src="http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w336/hansbasti/gw006agro.jpg" alt="" border="0"><br>
Hide behind your spirits, trust me, theyd be dead even before they reach you!<br>
Wave 1 down.<br>
<img src="http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w336/hansbasti/gw007.jpg" alt="" border="0"><br>
In case you die, no worries, cast UA on your Monk/ranger hero, wait for a while till the next mobs settle, recall your heroes and rez yourself.<br>
<br>
<b>NOTE: FOCUS TRAPPING is used for WAVE 1 and 2 basically because they got no Stygian Fiend mixed in them. REPEAT THE SAME STEPS for WAVE 1 and 2</b><br>
<br>
<b>WAVES 3-6</b><br>

<br>
So what do I do to get rid of those pesky ranged mobs (mixed with WAVE 3-6) who wont step on my traps?<br>
For the incomming next waves, the trick is to set your high hp spirits i.e. EoE and Winnowing way back and set EW and QZ up front the same spot where you trap.<br>
<br>
Heres how you lay the spirits.<br>
<img src="http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w336/hansbasti/gw008-1.jpg" alt="" border="0"><br>
Heres a good distance where you place EoE and Winnowing from the spot where you trap--where EW is seen placed..<br>
When when you and hero number 3 lays down EoE and winnowing, flagg him/her immediately with those up front.<br>
<img src="http://i521.photobucket.com/albums/w336/hansbasti/gw009-1.jpg" alt="" border="0"><br>
<br>
Cast Energizing wind and QZ for those up front and start laying all your traps up front on a focused spot. <br>

<br>
Again lay as many trap for 60 seconds using your <b><i>spirit skill recharge</i></b> as timer, unflag heroes, put them away at the same spot, agro and run past to where your EoE and Winnowing is.<br>
By this time, your EW ans QZ will be expired thus the fiends will target you or EoE and Win, while stepping on your traps. BOOM no more fiends<br>
<br>
This will leave the melee type mobs which you can kill using the first method mentioned. <br>
<br>
REZ yourself+RINSE AND REPEAT till theyre all dead.<br>
<br>
N.B. Since you got UA in one of your heroes, feel free to bait yourself so you can control where your mobs steps on.<br>

A single wave elimination will wipe out 60DP quickly. So dont be afraid to die.<br>
This is also a technique i use to avoid running too far to loose agro and then going back to the trap spot---saves time.

now use it for !@#$%^&* sake before its nerfed

Where did you get this from?

it was posted yesterday at guru http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/show ... ?p=4693619 if that helps

What do you think yay or nay on it hardsell?

Well whoever wrote it made a pretty descriptive guide with screenshots

there have been lots of stygian solo vids (youtube best source for exploits and things) somee have been up for almost 2 years

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2KSWVRcA78
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4HmzE8B ... re=related http://technorati.com/videos/youtube.co ... 2KSWVRcA78 http://guildwars.incgamers.com/showthread.php?t=475711

so the concept isnt new and since this guide is available at a free site no potential customer would gush ooh a tault exclusive I must subscribe today and thats the only reason I would say nay

which is why I mostly do not nay or yay anymore in gw as almost everything submitted is available elsewhere free and the submissions are mostly builds or guides (or bots which I abhor) and not really an exploit bug or glitch involved...which is kinda the point of this site

So still waiting on some yays or nays to this bad boy. Its odd how there are zero bugs with Guildwars.
