Hey all, wasn’t sure the best place to share this tip, so here you go. Doing the new Storm’s Fury event I found I was not collecting very many Elemental Overflow compared to the new Essence of the Storm currency. So I went back to the older elemental storm events to farm some, and stumbled across this gem.
If there is a storm up in Tyrhold, you can farm a huge amount of Elemental Overflow quickly, provided you’re on a newer alt who hasn’t done all the quest yet.
- Step 1 - Reach rank 12 with Valdrakken Accord to accept the “Silver Purpose” questline.
- Travel to Tyrhold and do just the first couple of steps from Stony Tony, up until the point he tells you to listen to Tyr’s messages on the consoles.
- You will be given an extra action button that does a big chunk of damage every 30 seconds as well as an increased damage taken debuff on your target.
- Fly around and look for the “Tyrhold Watcher” mobs. These are the big ladies that look like the Ancient Protector. There are 2 that spawn on the main platform, and 1 on each of the 3 tiers below.
- The extra action button does an immediate 25% of the Watcher’s HP, and the extra damage debuff lets even a fresh alt kill them quickly. I would interrupt “Harden” as that gived them a reduced damage taken buff. Their other ability is just a tiny shield which you can burn through quick.
- The Watcher will give you EXACTLY 22 Elemental Overflow every time. The respawn rate seems to be a couple minutes each, so if no one else is killing them, you can pretty much just cycle through them and farm repeatedly.
I was able to get over 1000 Elemental Overflow in the hour I spent doing this. If anyone is looking for fast way to get the Storm’s Fury event items, hopefully this helps you!
