What's the hardest?

[FishyTrends]

What in AQW is currently the hardest item to farm?

According to Wiki these 2: Necrotic Sword of Doom (Sword)
Sepulchure's Doomknight Armor

Are harder to farm than AFDL , BLoD etc.,

Is this true?

In my eyes AFDL has been by far the hardest item to farm.

What are your thoughts?

[Trash]

They vary depending on resources, if you're a free-player with no ACs or lasting membership, you're gonna have a bad time.

Have you tried for farming VHL? Armor of Drakath and Armor of Awe?

[FishyTrends]

I have Armor of Drakath, BLoD, AFDL.. Bloody hell that was easily the hardest

Need the rest still i guess

[asamortal]

Necrotic Sword of Doom (Sword) is the hardest.
SDKA is just 3 times longer than BLoD but not harder. It's only longer because of all the Dark Spirit Orbs requiring more RNG to get than normal Spirit Orbs.

If anything the 2nd and 3rd hardest are VHL and AFDL armor.

[FishyTrends]

Dang, thanks for the info.. Wouldn't of ever thought that NSoD was the hardest tbh.Will have to get on that. AFDL I just presumed because it was so good and had its parts of being RNG based making to so annoying to get.

[asamortal]

AFDL is annoying sure but OH SO WORTH IT.
All the set pieces has 25% boost to gold/rep/class/xp and 15% dmg2all.
All of which stacks in the Test Servers too so its super easy to kill anything over there.

[FishyTrends]

Sweet! Very glad I got that early on then! I guess next is NSoD guessing that's going to be awful. Somehow never knew it gave 51% Extra damage to all monsters.

[asamortal]

That's because this change was unannounced.
People just found out one day when playing with it.

It used to be 51% dmg on Human enemies but they changed that, 2 years ago iirc.
Anyway, it's way better now since it's the most powerful weapon in game for most monsters other than undead and dragons.
BLoD was buffed to 75% dmg to undead now.
Dragon Blade and Evolved Dragon Blade does 60% dmg to dragons. But if you have one of the Shining Amadis items then its better to use those with the NSoD instead since they now give 20% dmg2dragons.

NSOD (without using merge glitch) [uses like 9000 void aura I think]
AFDL [uni 35 and uni 34 quests]
NSOD (using merge glitch) [I think I needed like 800-1000 void aura]
VHL [13 roentgeniums]
Drakath Armor [blod and blade of awe needed to get]
SDKA [steroid blod]
BLOD [undead essences up the wazoo]
Armor of Awe [Ultra hard boss farming requires many alts / a party to farm]
Blade of Awe [runes found]

[Ultra hard boss farming requires many alts / a party to farm]

Or just solo everything with Archpaladin/VHL
You might need an extra Stonecrusher for VHL though

Personally, I'd have to say AFDL or VHL.

Unidentified Gemstone of Nulgath isn't much fun to get (1% drop rate from a quest that requires 1.5mil gold each time to get the receipt, then a costly quest to get the gemstone receipt, then a quest with a .5% chance to get unidentified gemstone [also requires a member-only pet]), but is mostly useless (just a quest item) and *can* be done relatively quickly if you've got luck on your side

BLoD, SDKA, NSoD *would* definitely be up there if not for merge shop. Honestly NSoD being done through merge shop feels like it was intentionally made easier (I know that it wasn't, but nevertheless) since the actual quests for NSoD take a long time on their own, but for some reason they do the rest of it (and especially the aura-heavy stuff) in merge shop.

Because BLoD can be done via glitch, the most annoying part of Drakath armor was the time constraint (13 days minimum), but it wasn't hard to get.
