FEATHER FARMING BUILDS FOR JAYA BLUFFS SENSALI [NORMAL MODE]


OVERVIEW:
This is a thread for builds for Sensali Feather Farming in Jaya Bluffs outside Seitung Harbor on the starter island of Factions. You farm in NORMAL MODE and especially be on the lookout for feather drops and feathered crest drops (which you salvage). Among other things that drop are blue-purple armors and mid-level golds. Feather output varies run by run, so sometimes you can get over 100 feathers total a run (feathers + crests salvaged) and other times only around 25-30. All in all, this is probably one of the, if not THE, best feather farming area in the game right now.

In Normal Mode, Sensali are only low-teens levelled, so pretty much ANY build for ANY class that contains damage and moderate upkeep (armor + self-healing + energy management) is sufficient for this.


WARNING: DO NOT SELL FEATHERS BACK TO THE COMMON MATERIAL TRADER!
That only serves to lower the price overall. DON'T RUIN IT FOR THE REST OF US! Besides, people in town buy stacks of feathers for much higher than the trader ever will. Sales to other players are quick.


LOCATION:



AREAS TO WALK AROUND AND FIND SENSALI MOBS:
Sensali Mobs are EVERYWHERE in Jaya Bluffs. You basically just walk around and aggro all the mobs of Sensali you can find. There is no set route (and the path pictured here isn't even the route I take, just an example). Simply find the path that's best for you. There are various bunches of Yeti interspersed with the Sensali, and even a couple of Yeti bosses. If your current build can't take down the Yeti, just aggro them into Sensali (if they're in your way) and the Sensali will take care of them for you. The Sensali have a greater aggro priority with the Yeti than with you, so you'll be mostly safe.




SENSALI AND SAMPLE DROPS:




IF YOU HAVE A BUILD THAT WORKS FOR FEATHER FARMING, PLEASE POST IT. THANKS.
Any class should be possible to farm these feathers, given their low level. Not everyone has every class everywhere, so if you have a build for this that isn't common please post it for the benefit of the rest of us. Thanks.

I use this build outside LA in North Kryta Province, in the big field of tengu. Leaving from D'Alessio Seabord, get your first couple of corpses by killing Fire Imps with putrid bile. Then proceed into the Tengu field, and kill tengu for feathers!
It's simple, yes, but effective. (IMO)

I am using this one which provides 6-7 minutes run, with killing all groups, just need to pull few groups at once.

This stuff isn't anything real secretive but this seems to now be the builds area, for access to builds quick, so I figured I'd move this here. <3 Have fun farmin' feathers! lol

OH NOZ! DONT LET THEM STEAL OUR FEATHERS!!

i agree with laynie a build is a build its just more organized that way. you big teaser..

i use a simple spirit spammer with painful bond and they all die quickly

Is there any builds to do this with a Ranger?

The Sensali are level 12 mobs in NM in Jaya Bluffs. Any Ranger bar with defensive stances and AoE attacks should work fine. Splinter Barrage probably works acceptable enough. The main thing I see with Ranger primary-based bars would be over-aggro issues. If you go slow (ie. one mob at a time) you should be fine.

There is always the fallback of going R/Rt SoS Spirit Spammer if you can't come up with a Ranger-specific build.

ill see if i can make you a badaass ranger build when i get home.
