Where is an Iron Golem with 93 AC supposed to farm. I have done the Asiabat Dungeon of Doors quest 4 yrs ago but ditched the amulet. Is this the only viable place for this build to solo? I have an unforged empyric scimmy and debating whether or not to further invest in this toon.
That's sort of to me like asking what warriors can do endgame. Although golems have crit and death immunity, which opens up trighton and darkmoor to them in my mind.
So as a shape that imitates a warrior, it can farm these things:
1.) Guard room and the first forge area beyond it.
2.) Some parts of forgies. I saw a warrior solo and have done a bit myself in Lake of Fire.
There are also the less cr areas that are still fine endgame to me:
3.) New Caen cultists
4.) Zu Asabiat village & dungeon of doors.
5.) With enough cold resistance, it seems possible to me that you can do what I do with my air elemental and farm troll lord on the isle of ice.
The isle of ice thing I feel I might like to explain. With my air ele I could sack some feats and get epic cold resistance 2, but I think the golem builds might be a bit feat starved. However, I just went on and saw the AC difference between Iron and Demonflesh golem wasn't that much, and if that is near 90 AC in demonflesh form, I'd consider trying using demonflesh and a drone or two to farm the troll lord with a basic cold res of 30 or 25 and demonflesh golem flame shield. The regen and life of the troll lord might be hard to get down, but I think it's possible for a demonflesh golem with a good weapon and drones.
Also some might not consider the first 2 fine areas of farming but farming as I've done I say I sort of disagree.
This is because although you can't get the high level items from those areas, what you can get is money, which can be usually used to buy some of the high level items, at least in my opinion.
Also farming for high level items is like a specific thing that I think only a few do. But yeah, usually you can buy things from some of the people like Fingers, PSV, etc. That's why I mention those areas, it's just you might have to shift your paradigm into farming for money for items rather than farming for items.
Also I sort of like massacring the zu asabiats solo
.
Then there is also the golems crit and death immunity giving it some things warriors might not seem keen on doing:
6.) I feel with work it can do things in sendauntra, whereas warriors might have a bit harder time due to obyvatels alone. Animal Empathy can serve you well with the dirions and orions sometimes there too. The only difficulties are the magic missile storms and the acid bolt things, but I feel with heal potions it would be fine. There's only a few areas - because I consider farming web to be different - but I feel in sparser areas a golem can solo and kill some OP monsters.
7.) Darkmoor. With animal empathy you can definitely do some things here.
8.) Trighton. At least the starting areas, but I'll put it here because I consider city center a decent enough place to farm because it has OP bards and archers, among other things. The stormers alone I got a really good ammy that I like using - +6 ac with +4 saves and 32 SR - so the OP monsters in city centre alone to me are fine enough...eventually. But, I do think with enough work you can venture into courtyard and such because I've seen some do I think.
Lastly, you can do many things in groups - like warriors - which you might not be able to solo. I remember doing okay with the vonder rhule trighton and death vault as a tank or at least I thought.
Testing pits - in a group you can be a tank and provide some sort of damage. Warriors can do this in groups and you can join them if that ever comes to pass again.
Grub pits - As a bard/druid/mage player in test pit, I find that I usually won't say no to a warrior ally that can help the farming there. Definitely as a druid, one would like a warrior to kill everything that is stoneholded
.
Inferno in forgies - although a cleric or bard would help here, groups can definitely do something here, at least luring and using the AT to lake of fire. So I'll put that as consideration.
In a group it might be possible to get the random in web - helpful to know where it is first.
Also in darkmoor, you can probably contribute to a dralenoff run.
Probably some more things you can do in groups, like finales and such.
