Good Morning Friends! Yesterday we had a patch to the game that introduced the Turkulon event and it might have impacted drop rates on these bosses. My friend Vern was trying to farm Putris and having no luck, but I joined him out there and started getting drops within no time. So I am not sure if Vern is just unlucky or if the 590 items are a bit rarer than they were previously. I just wanted to give you a heads-up as you venture forth to farm gear, that it might take longer than expected or that drop chances might go up if you are in a group. Today’s farm is pretty simple and involves the level 24 elite named Kar-El the Gate Keeper that guards the giant blue door at the outdoor portion of the Amrine Temple complex. There are only two drops available on the loot table, but they seemed to drop quicker than some of the camps but your mileage may vary.
The easiest port to get to this encounter is to go straight north from the Amrine Temple Expedition teleport and then loop along the top of the Amrine Complex and enter from the north. This will allow you to ascend to the top of the temple area where this boss spawns. I tried to come in from the Windsward side which is also doable, but it involved running around a lot until I could find a place to ascend. While you are set up there you might end up needing to clear a half dozen random ancient spawns that also appear on this top tier of the temple. The boss itself has the standard five to six-minute respawn timer, with the occasional random instant respawn behavior that most encounters seem to have.
I came out here to add a Fire Staff to my repertoire of 590 weapons for every possible type. However, there is also a pretty decent focus necklace that might be a solid pickup for healers. The necklace for me at least seemed to be more common than the Fire Staff as I got five of them to drop before getting my first staff. Again your mileage may vary because the game seems to “stick” on a single drop when farming these 590 items. You might have the opposite scenario of getting nothing but Fire Staves. Unfortunately, there seems to be nothing much else of note on the drop table other than these two items.
- Kar-El the Gate Keeper
- Fuel to the Fire – INT Fire Staff
- Prophecy Fulfillment Charm – FOC Necklace
This farm was pretty straightforward and seemed to have better drop chances than Scratchy for example. It took me a little less than two hours to farm up both items and then move on to the next farm. I will admit though Vern gave me a bit of a heart attack yesterday making me think that after all of this work, they had done something to remove the 590 drops. While I have not verified all of the camps since the patch, I can verify that Putris and Red Claw are both still dropping so it is highly likely that everything is as well.
I still have several more of these, so I might break my own rule and post on Saturday just to churn through them and get them out the door. Again I have collected all of these into a category on the blog where you can find all of my Loot Farm guides for New World. As always if you know any great spots that I have not visited that drop level 590 gear, please drop me a line below.
