R/A Cultist Rajazan farming

[Dr Strangelove]

In the far northeast corner of unwaking waters lurks Cultist Rajazan. Why do we need to bonk this guy in the head till he dies? He drops a green, ready made HoD sword. Plus it looks darn purty too.

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Rajazan%27s_Fervor

I'm using a R/A for this, though any secondary would probably work just fine.

WS: 11
Expertise: 14
Marksmanship: 12
Rest in shadow arts

Skills:
Dodge
Zojun's Haste
Storm Chaser
Dash
Death's Charge
Troll Unguent
Poison Arrow
Hunter's Shot

Equipment: Some sort of longbow with a poisoners string. A second bow with a barbed string would be nice, but is not necessary

Usage: The hardest part about this is simply getting to the guy. Start from the harvest temple and circle around until the shiroken start charging you (they aggro from about triple range). As they charge, activate troll unguent and run by them with dodge, then zojun's haste, then dash, then storm chaser if necessary. Use death's charge to target faraway spirits or rangers to get a bonus jump ahead. After you pass through these, you will be at a rez shrine. Continue east without aggroing anything. A group of creeping carp will approach the shrine as you pass. If they attack the shrine guards, you can sneak by them. If not, activate troll unguent and dodge and run past the saltspray dragons around the rim. You will pass by Cultist Merki and a group of pop-ups. Heal up, then run by the next set of shiroken the same way as before. Once past them, edge your way towards the west end. You may aggro the kraken if need be, just don't go near the dragon boss or the creeping carp.

Finally, you will see rajazan and his entourage standing by a cliff near the end of the zone. Run past him towards the gate until you shake aggro. Now you will be using poison arrow and hunter's shot to degen Rajazan and his buddies to death. Quite often, they are glitched into attacking a group on the cliff and will not move very much, making this very easy. Run back towards the gate and the nook just beyond it to break aggro if any of them chase you (use dash or dodge). This usually ends up as a game of hit-and run.

Targeting order for enemies:
1: Ritualist - casts displacement which completely nullifies your attacks. Kill quickly
2: Assassin - Can cripple you if he gets too close, kill him to make sure it doesn't happen
3: Warrior/Deathhand - Neither are any real threat. The deathhand has plague touch so don't let him get close though.
4: Rajazan - Uses plague touch, chilblains, cultist's fervor, unholy feast. Just keep him out of range, keep him poisoned and bleeding and he'll go down in no time.

The entire run takes 10-15 minutes. Happy hunting!

Sounds nice, is this do-able with an a/r???

Sounds nice, is this do-able with an a/r???

I doubt it, I'm using ranger skills pretty heavily here. The assassin skills I added were just an afterthought for convenienve.

[Exile Of Heaven]

Nice, i like his sword so ill be farming asap if my ranger gets there:D, not far away anymore:)

[Riceboi]

Believe it or not, awhile back someone posted a way to solo this boss with an assassin. Someone also posted a solo build for a Ritualist. I looked, but I couldn't find the thread.

[Khift]

I've been soloing him with a W/X Auspicious Parry build for a while now. Not a single sword, unfortunately, although I've killed him almost thirty times.

A hard bugger to get to. The hardest part of it, easily.

[MercenaryKnight]

With the zone right there, once you kill him can you just go through that zone and come up to keep farming him or do you have to restart from the town? Sorry, I haven't been to those later places yet to find out for myself.

[StellarAshes]

You can only get in (if you've been to the Kurzick side I think) but you can't exit from that town.

Averages about 1 sword per 10ish runs.

[remmeh]

hi Stellar. thanks for farming that sword for me. :D

I'm kinda curious about that build, could you PM me it?

I would think it's revolves around the two Ripostes?

[VitisVinifera]

I would think it's revolves around the two Ripostes?

I'd imagine that the build is whatever GETS you to Rajazan, and it's relative ease after that, so whatever gets you to him is the focus (read: wammo), then the rest is gravy when you get to him

I'd say choose your weapon/shield/armor carefully to maximize survivability for the run (as in, bonus while enchanted/in a stance)

[Mistical miss]

To get there with an assassin/anything use shadow form, dark escape, dash and deaths charge. sup shadow arts mask and sup dmg dealing mask (crits or dagger), using +20% enchanting mods doesnt hurt either. May take some time to get it under control, farmed 8 swords with it as A/R (stormchaser gets u there really fast and troll unguent is good healing as it cant be shattered by rajazan)

furthermore: he will try to plague touch, so if you go as daggerguy, don't use conditions on him, and he will shatter shadow form with chilblains so don't use that either when u are close to him.

You can lure him by waiting till he is the closest of the group to u, then just walk towards him till u get him in ur aggro circle, then just walk away and see if the others drop, if not then escape away and try again.

And yes I was the one who posted this a while ago ;) if u have major trouble doing this, you can whisper me! ign: mistical miss

note: I can also solo him as A/Me, using mesmer skills (it can be done as mesmer primary!!) look in the mesmer farming thread to see how it works whisper me if u need help!

I've done it with the following warrior setup. The Run is pretty simple once you have done it a couple times and the fight is really easy. Don't even bother with the ritualist as all your damage is from riposts. Thankfully our cultist friend pulls out his sword for melee when u get in close to him. You can probably mess with this a lot and still get it to work. Its handy to have a + energy wepon or offhand that you can switch to mid run as a way of hiding energy. Running through the constructs drains it so if you need a sprint and are at 0, just throw on the engery wepon/offhand and you're off to the races.

have fun

[SirJackassIII]

To make the run/fight easier (and using a pure Ranger Build), use Escape, Pin Down and Apply Poion instead of Posion Arrow and the 2 assassin skills.

It's funny watching him limp to you, then you run away, he turn, you shoot him some more, etc...

[VitisVinifera]

Nice, Winstar. I'll try that this weekend.

[MelechRic]

Here's a pure Ranger build that I find very effective:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v466/NachosKeeper/Guild%20Wars%20Screens/Rajazans_Fervor.jpg

You don't need to have any of the Assassin speed skills if you're judicious with the ranger speed buffs. Dodge and Zojun's Haste should be used whenever you're running through the Shiro'ken Rangers. Storm Chaser is fine for running through Carp and other open spaces.

When you get to Rajazan then it's pretty simple. With Seeking Arrows on the Bar you can pretty much ignore the Ritualist. Her Displacement Spirit is nullified. I typically drop Barbed Trap right when my aggro bubble's edge is about to touch the group. Then I prep Seeking Arrows and fire a Poison Arrow at my target. Then I run back using whatever speed boost is available.

Barbed Trap is your "oops I f---ed up" safety net. It will save you if you ever let the mob get too close.

Here's the order of things I kill:

1. Assassin --> his cripple is deadly to you. Remove him immediately.
2. Warrior --> he has the "Charge" shout which makes your speed boosts less effective.
3. Ritualist --> Displacement makes her annoying, but Seeking Arrows + Poison Arrow dispatches her quickly.
4. Deathhand --> nothing serious here. He drops rather quickly.
5. Rajazan --> Rather easy but high on HP so he goes last.

Order of Skills:
1. Barbed Trap (for safety, but also because you get bleeding and cripple)
2. Seeking Arrows (only when Ritualist is alive)
3. Poison Arrow
4. Hunter's Shot as enemy closes in.
5. Speed boost to run away.

Occasionally you may find they follow you all the way to the back. Simply allow them to do this, but circle them and lead them back to their original spawining point. Don't panic! They will follow you back. Avoid the Assassin at all costs if it is still alive.

Lastly, it's nice to have a longbow with a poisoner's string. I find the Elswyth's Longbow is perfect. You can usually find one at the ToPK in Tyria.

[Jedimagician]

does he have to hold the sword to drop it?... like ssaki...

[Mistical miss]

no, he can drop it if hes not holding it, but if he holds it he will drop it

[prodikal]

no, he can drop it if hes not holding it, but if he holds it he will drop it

not true. he can be holding it and not drop a damn thing.

[Seren!ty]

I got mine when he was holding it, the 8th run.
The run is something you need to get used to, after the first 2 times it is extremely easy. The fight itself is very easy as a warrior, Rajazan deals no dmg at all with his sword.
Just be careful with the disrupting Chop, as it screws up your healing signet.

This is the Build I used:
W/X
Charge!, Sprint, Dolyak Signet, Tiger's Stance, Riposite, Galrath/Silverwing Slash, Bonetti (to cover the healing signet) and Healing Signet.
10+1 Strength, 12+1+3 Swordsmanship, 11+1 Tactics.

And now I got this nice sword :)

[apofreelancer]

I was wondering about the looks of the sword. In Guildwiki it looks like a beautiful broadsword, but whenever I see him using a sword its a big fat black one. Does that mean that he's not carrying Rajazan's Fervor and I should not kill him then? I've never seen him use the shiny broadsword before. Does he have 2 swords?

One last question, if he's carrying a staff, can he change to a sword halfway?

[Seren!ty]

He changes to the sword if you get close enough to him, also his staff does a lot more dmg then his sword.

And yes, he uses 2 swords, he dropped the greenie for me when he was holding it, but I don't think that has anything to do with it.

[kicks66]

im using the mes build posted on the mes build sticky, and i keep dieing trying to get to him, any tips?

[MelechRic]

Just wanted to point out that Cultist Milthuran's very nice blood staff (http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Milthuran%27s_Staff) is also farmable with a modified version my all-ranger (http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1498103&postcount=17) Rajazan build. You can find Milthuran just outside the Autrios Mines.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v466/NachosKeeper/Guild%20Wars%20Screens/Milthurans_Staff.jpg

The modifications:

13 Expertise
13 Wilderness Survival
9 Marksmanship

Elswyth's Longbow

Seeking Arrows is replaced with Flame Trap.

Initial reconnaissance:
Basically just speed through Milthuran and is cronies. See if he has the staff by noticing if you get hit with green orbs of dark damage. (It's not 100% that he has the staff even if you're being hit w/ dark damage. Sometimes he has a wand and a shield/focus.) If it's the staff then begin whittling down his henchmen.

Hall of Horrors:
This is where you'll do your killing. This is a looking into the hall right after you've run through the mob:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v466/NachosKeeper/Guild%20Wars%20Screens/death_alley1.jpg

This is looking back down the hall toward Miluthran and his mob:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v466/NachosKeeper/Guild%20Wars%20Screens/death_alley2.jpg

Order of kills:
1. Assassins -- they can cripple you so they're deadly.
2. Warriors -- because they use the shout "Charge" and that messes up your speed boosts.
3. Deathhands -- Unholy Feast spamming and uses plague touch. Don't get near them if they're crippled our you will be too.
4. Ritualist -- usually she stays with her spirit so you can ignore her. Even if she does put down displacement you can pull mobs out its range. That's why I dropped Seeking Arrows.

Method of killing:
Basically you're going to be laying down Barbed Trap and Flame Trap on top of each other all down the hall. Whatever comes through that should have a nice bit of HP taken off and be crippled. Hit them w/ Poison Arrow and Hunter's Shot if you have time. Then run away through the spiked coral to break aggro. Troll to heal up and repeat. You will wear them down 1-by-1.

Optional:
If you get the staff you may want to kill another mob to defeat the anti-farming code. I find that the rockhide dragons back near the rez shrine are pretty easy if you lay a line of three sets of barbed/flame traps up to the shrine. Then pull with a poison arrow and head to the shrine. (You may get "Gale-locked" but just keep moving to the shrine.) You'll get heals and an assist from the shrine's priest and two hammer warriors.

[Mistical miss]

im using the mes build posted on the mes build sticky, and i keep dieing trying to get to him, any tips?

certainly, try to use a +20% enchanting mod for shadow form and do it like this:

You can get past the first 2 groups (1 on the stairs, one at the bottom) with dark escape. Then before u hit the third group, put on shadow form, then just go to the shrine (you will want to use your speed buff to lose aggro when shadow form has almost weared off)
And heal up from your shadow form. From there just walk past the assassin fish mobs, use dark escape to lose their aggro, keep running when the assassins spawn, hug the right side. Heal up again, a patrol will run towards you, dark escape past them. then put up shadow form after the second group. Use a speed buff to get rid of the chasers while your shadow form runs off, (keep hugging the right wall) heal up, and watch the patrols, make sure u don't hit one. When you are past the saltspray dragons, you should see rajazan, run past him then start to try lure him. I hope this helped, if not, give me a call in game !

[Rah Balder]

Okey so i hav killed Mr. Rajazan about 20 times now and he has not wielded hes precious sword once! :mad:

Everytime i get to him he wields un ugly sword with the same skin as Sskai's Sword. So i wonder am I the only one with these problems? Is this a bugg or wat?

Pisses me off cuz when my friend farms him he wields the Fervor all the time and drops it in every 10th run or sumwat...

[Seren!ty]

It's just luck, it will drop for you :) some time

[Rah Balder]

It's just luck, it will drop for you :) some time

Haha yeah i guess ;)

But, one question. Can he drop the Fervor although he is wielding the other ugly sword?

[MelechRic]

Based on my experience the answer to that is... NO! I've solo'd him dozens of times and only once have I gotten the sword. Now I'm inclined to just run through his mob and see what he switches to. So far here are the possiblities:

1. Outcast Staff
2. Wicked Blade
3. Spiral Wand
4. Blood/Truncheon Wand

None of these will result in a drop of the sword. He has to switch to the sword for it to have a chance to drop. You'll know it because it's silver and shiny with a tassle of ribon on the end.

EDIT: My current feeling (based on observation) is that the drop rates have been adjusted down for this green item.

Actually, he dropped his sword twice for me while wielding a Wicked Blade, and none of those times did he switch weapons. It's pure luck mostly.

[MelechRic]

Well if that's true then I'm back to killing him ALWAYS! Thanks for the tip.

[Mistical miss]

I can confirm sir jackassIII's words, he can drop always, though I have never seen him hold his fervor and NOT drop it

[Gee_Dub]

I kept a tally when I was farming Rajazan using the following W/X build,

Tiger's Stance, Riposite, Deadly Riposte, Endure Pain, Bonetti (cover for healing sig), Healing Sig, Charge!, Sprint.
Str 10+1, Sword 8+1, Tact 12+1+2 (Major runes are geat now). Sskai's Sword(+30hp), Merki's Gaze(+30hp). 555 hp

Total kills: 37
Fervor droped kill #: 4, 7, 26, and 37

Using this build I would simply pull Rajazan from the group he is next to, sometimes this wasnt possible and I would need to pull the assassin/warrior/deathhand? away from Rajazan, ignore the rit and then kill Rajazan. Rajazan and the deathhand both use plaguetouch and endure pain is on my bar for when you are getting low on health from the bleeding they trasfered to you. I always made him pull out his sword/shield, which looks exactly like Sskai's Sword and Merki's Gaze(If I remeber correctly).

BTW I have never seen him use Rajazans Fervor which has the same skin as a broadsworard and its droped for me.
Also Merki the Reaver is along the way(sleight detour, hes next to the Luxon Unwakening Waters zone BUT there is not enough space to pull him using the same method as Rajazan, there are alos many more groups of outcast/squid looking things nearby) to Rajazan and with a different build you should be able to solo both in one run. If any1 has any sugestions for a build that could solo both pls post it here or msg me :)

[Rah Balder]

Okey finally got the Fervor, wooo! :D

It dropped at run #31 and he was NOT wielding it. In those 31 runs i've made, Rajazan has wielded hes Fervor only once. And it didnt drop...

Sooo... Wat to do now :rolleyes:

[MelechRic]

Keep going back. I do a few runs a night and I've only gotten it to drop once. The Fervor is a sweet sword and my 55hp necro enjoys having the 20% extra enchant time.

Sadly it doesn't sell for serious coin... only about 20-35k (from the look of the currently active auctions). Oh well, it's fun to try.

[Rit Gin]

Ok, I can get past the groups of 6 armers, and the shrine carp dragon area, the next group of 6 armers, then get toasted every time by the popup oni and carp that block the path.

What am I doing wrong? should I be going wall hug on far right ??

any ideas would be great

[Rah Balder]

Yeah mate, hug the wall on your right and your run to Rajazan should pass by unnoticed.

[SirJackassIII]

Sadly it doesn't sell for serious coin... only about 20-35k (from the look of the currently active auctions). Oh well, it's fun to try.

Err, I sold it for 70k 2 days ago, quick sale, saw others selling it for 80k. I doubt it dropped that much since then...

[MelechRic]

Err, I sold it for 70k 2 days ago, quick sale, saw others selling it for 80k. I doubt it dropped that much since then...

Hmmm... well my necro does enjoy the one she does have so I'm not selling that one. I guess I'll be going back for more. ;)

I've got an improved version of my ranger build that has cut the farming time in half. I'll post it with pictures later on tonight if I get another drop. (I like the green to be in the screen.)

[FuriousGirl]

So after giving it a whirl (and killing all but him) I had a few questions.

So is the point to poison Rajazan and make him bleed then take off running? then rinse and repeat again?

[keathmae]

Yes.
well, You can always try to let him get to you. ^_^
Have fun with his plague touch.

[MelechRic]

So after giving it a whirl (and killing all but him) I had a few questions.

So is the point to poison Rajazan and make him bleed then take off running? then rinse and repeat again?

Use these on your bar:

Zojun's Haste
Dodge
Storm Chaser
Troll Unguent
Seeking Arrows
Poison Arrow {E}
Hunter's Shot
Pin Down

Get the following bows:
Poisoner's Longbow (I like Elswyth's Longbow)
Crippling Longbow (I like Chehbaba's Longbow)

Attributes:

14 Expertise
11 Wilderness Survival
11 Marksmanship

Equip the poisoner's bow. Kill the mob in this order:
1 - Assassin - Beware she can cripple you with her attacks. If that happens you're done.
2 - Warrior
3 - Deathhand/Ritualist - your call Beware The Deathhand will plague touch off conditions. Don't cripple until you're very good at this solo.
4 - Ritualist/Deathhand - your call

Technique:
1 - Seeking Arrows
2 - Poison Arrow
3 - Hunter's Shot as foe moves toward you.
4 - Zojun's Haste/Dodge to sprint away.
5 - Repeat (can be 2x - 3x per foe.)

Equip the crippling bow and go for Rajazan.
Technique:
1 - Pin Down
2 - Hunter's Shot as he moves to you
3 - Poison Arrow
4 - Move away until he starts to go back to his spawn point.
5 - Repeat 2 - 4 until Pin Down recharges.
6 - Repeat 1 - 5 until he's dead.

The crippling bow is nice because it give's Rajazan only 1 second of normal speed movement between recharges of Pin Down. That's a very comfortable way to plink at him until he's dead. Beware Rajazan can Plague Touch off any condition. Do not let him get anywhere near you when he's crippled or you will be crippled, poisoned and bleeding while he swings his sword and does Unholy Feast.

Sadly, I've soloed him about 50 times and only gotten one drop of his sword. I'm going to have to move to another area for a while as it seems I'm just getting crap drops even though I haven't seen the farming code warning.

[FuriousGirl]

I think I'll give it a try with pin down rather than barbed trap! And No.. plague touch was not my friend! :\

[MelechRic]

As you get better you'll sometimes be able to pull Rajazan out of the mob w/o aggro'ing the entire mob. This is a lot faster than killing the entire mob. I'll typically try and pull him out before killing the whole mob just to see if it's possilbe.

[Mistical miss]

It takes me about 1-2 minutes average to pull him out with my assassin, trick is this: when he is closer to you than the rest of his group, aggro him and walk back, the whole group will follow but they will drop before rajazan. If this doesn't work, try this, use a speed buff and wait untill it has 3 seconds left. Then aggro rajazan and start running away. The whole group stops following because you run fast, but then when you move slower again, only rajazan follows you.

Thats how I do it...

[Kyarill]

If you don't get any drops, its because of the anti-farm code of Anet, so don't kill him when he doesn't has his sword equiped...

[MelechRic]

If you don't get any drops, its because of the anti-farm code of Anet, so don't kill him when he doesn't has his sword equiped...

No.

He will drop the sword even when he doesn't have it equipped. The problem is that his drop rate is very low. I've gone at least 200 times over the period of a month and gotten the sword twice.

I do not over farm this guy. My method is to rotate through all my farming areas doing a total of 5 runs in each. That way the farming code never hits.

[Minus Sign]

Everyone seems to agree that the run is a monster. If you're still having trouble getting to him, give my build a try:

Expertise: 13 (mask and superior rune)
Wilderness Survival: 10(minor rune)
Marksmanship: 13 (minor rune)

Zojun's Haste
Dodge
Escape {E}
Troll Unguent
Hunter's Shot
Pin Down
Apply Poison
Favorable Winds

Even though its the slowest of the three, Escape is your primary run buff due to its higher evade than Zojun and Dodge and it works on Melee attacks too, nice in that opening gauntlet. I do NOT endorse Storm Chaser for this run. Even though it gives you a 31 second buff window, it has no evasion so you get hammered when you apply. Stick to the Dodge/Zojun combo if you refuse to "waste" your elite slot on a hard run; they run you faster (33% as opposed to 25%) and reduce your overall damage recieved.

Cycling these 3 run skills you should only have to stop once, at the rez shrine, for a quick Troll Unguent (or while the monk heals you if you’re aligned to her) then its back to the races.

Hug the wall to avoid the dragons and run past Rajazan’s group and into your safety niche to drop Favorable. I like FW since it gives my longbow arrows more speed, meaning less chance to dodge or evade them (and an extra 6 dmg an arrow doesn’t hurt). Now it’s a question of Rajazan’s placement. If he’s far enough away from his group, you can usually pull him with a quick poisoned (apply poison first) Pin Down. Alternate Hunter’s shot with Pin Down and he’ll spend all his time walking to and away from you until he’s dead. If he gets too close, kite him with Dodge/Zojun, but keep him close enough to hit so he doesn’t re-enter the fold. 3 run buffs I can apply any time=I didn’t have to worry about Plague touch at all.

That’s the fastest kill. If he’s sticking to his team, kill Displacement (NOTE: attacking displacement or other spirits outside agro range with a longbow/flatbow does NOT cause the mob to train on you. You're killing a spirit and its health is seperate from the group and so NOT monitored by the AI team. Stay out of agro; you can shoot it dead and they won't care) and the rit that drops it, the Assassin next and players choice until Rajazan's alone with a lather-rinse-repeat of Pin Down/Hunter’s/ run kite to apply poison and drop FW again if you need.

FYI: old hand SF farmer here saying that whether the boss is holding the weapon or not does not guarantee a drop no drop. I got my Razorstone from Tanzit while he was holding his Cleaver (feel free to tell me how much THAT sucked!), and I have killed Brohn while holding his staff I don't know HOW MANY times, but the green still elludes me. Favor does have some effect on drop ratios. If your country of orgin does not have favor, consider waiting to farm.

Otherwise, just be patient and run the farm. He'll drop it...eventually.

[Chronos the Defiler]

i did 30 runs as A/R...got not a single thing, 3 scrolls was the highlight of the runs all in all...and i don't think that compensates....i think maybe the drops were nerfed

[prodigy ming]

the A/R build posted at guildwiki is actually a really nice guide. I followed that (repelaced the elite with palm strike) and I can generally make it to rajazan no problem. Pulling him out remains the biggest headache but its certianly doable. I have gotto 2 fervor after like... >50 runs. Not a very profitiable run considering the time spend on it and the sword is only worth around 20k. better off farming somewhere else and just buy the sword.

[wayne]

lol i cant even get to him yet :)

[Crazyvietguy]

lol i cant even get to him yet :)

Wow.. thanks for ressurecting this dead thread

Resurrect FTL

[duke1]

Just did it 10x no sword yet. The strategy here definetly works timing on the runs is important but it's quite straight forward. I'd use Read the Wind instead of Death's Charge as you don't need it for the run once your decent at it. And it helps take the boss and his bodyguards down x3 faster. I used a flatbow too so any bow so long as it's not a short bow should work.

The sword is a very good alternative to the Totem Axe for Farming Monks. Not to mention it looks much better. :ninja:
