Like a disease. :D

That's life for you. Only for people who see worth in it because there are people who won't bother to.

I wonder if this is effective on hard as well. I haven't gotten to Act 1 Scene 4 yet since I was too lazy to do G13 (I'd rather rank up new skills lol).

Yeah, Elsinore ghosts on HM seem to drop anywhere from 5-7 Life Drain crystals at least, don't know about any of their other drops though.

At least people still have to MAKE the Forest Golems and BUY or GET white herbs to make the golems for their training.

Instead of relying on the drops of those ghosts...To get golems.

The only problem is that I do not know the actual speed of mission runs for 5 cloakers, otherwise I could get a more accurate number. 320k exp in 20 minutes is only an estimate.

Here is a vid of my total level 1,002 melee alt, Pyriosite. [video=youtube;-RbtnzYw4bE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RbtnzYw4bE[/video]

As you can see, I was making all kinds of less than ideal decisions, due to laziness. The cloakers are -very- weak.

For reference, gear is a pair of 1/5 upgraded goddess/caliburn daggers (5-12 original damage), corundum/delusional hat, fox hunger (+3) acessory, vic/pirate lorica, wn cannons, diamond/raven (+7) boots, bear 1hko title, rk1 CM, rk9 sword mastery, 264 total str.

Based on my run times, I estimate 1.1m exp per hour.

I tried it and the drop rate was much too low. After 15 runs I had 1 drop of forest golem (total of 4 crystals), bunch of junk base crystals I can get in the shop, and plenty of gold.
The gold was very nice but I don't care about gold drops, the one thing I was hoping for, forest golems, hardly dropped at all, nowhere what I expected from reading this thread.

Only effective on elf/giant alts. I wouldn't recommend using your mains to spam g13 missions, but with elf/giants you barely play? sure go ahead.

Is intermediate level fine?

That's great. All I care about are life drains. I do more damage in melee than my rank 1 forest golems so...yeah. =_= But sulfur. <3

Running intermediate right now on my elf. so far I've gotten nothing but stone golem drops, though I only ran it twice. 4 total crystals in two runs.

It needs to be in adv or hard if you're looking for forest golems too. The quantity of LD crystals dropped are also better than in basic/int.

I see...
I think my mules are no where near to exploit this though...
How is the exp like for Elsinore Ghosts at hard mode?

30 forest golems and 20 life drains in 20 minutes of farming. Also 11k XP per session and around 4-6k gold. This is per MINUTE.
