The MQSC (Mount Qinkai Speed Clear) build uses teams of smiters, tanks, (VoR) and SS/finisher in combination with a runner in order to farm Luxon faction at Mount Qinkai in Hard Mode from Aspenwood Gate. With an average team, faction rewards can come anywhere from 9.5k-11k a run and runs take 7-12 minutes. Groups are normally formed in the European German districts.

Beach Smiter

Attributes and Skills

<pvxbig> [build prof=Mo/? smi=12+1+3 pro=12+3 divine=3+1][Essence Bond][Retribution][Vital Blessing][Holy Wrath][Shield of Judgment]["By Ural's Hammer!"][Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support][Rebirth][/build] </pvxbig>

Equipment

• A +1 Smiting Headpiece with Sup Smite and Sup Prot runes, and a Minor Divine if desired.
• Any armor (but max AL with extra Health is preferred).
• Any weapons with enchantments last 20% longer will do.

Usage

<pvxbig>

• Cast [[Essence Bond], [[Retribution], and [[Vital Blessing] on the Beach Tank, and maintain them.
• Stay back while the tank aggro's mobs, and wait until all of the melees have stopped moving before casting or recasting your spells.
• Cast [[Holy Wrath] and [[Shield of Judgement] on the tank upon engage.
• Renew Holy Wrath whenever possible, as it will quickly run out otherwise.
• Use [[Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support] to more quickly take down targets that aren't dying fast enough. You can also use it as a meat shield if you accidentally pull some of the aggro.
• Wait a few seconds before casting [["By Ural's Hammer!"] for the tank to get aggro.
• Cast all enchantments prior to popping any Oni groups, as [[Shadow Shroud] prevents any more enchantments afterward. This shouldn't happen, however, because the beach team does not normally travel near any Oni pops.
• If the tank gets a Condition while fighting Naga, it means he's Dazed. Use [[Purge Signet] on him if you have it.
• If the tank dies, use [[Rebirth] to revive him.

</pvxbig>

Variants

<pvxbig>

• [[Life Attunement] instead of Vital Blessing
• [[Purge Signet] instead of EVAS (shouldn't be needed with experienced tanks).
• The tank may ask for both [[Life Attunement] and [[Vital Blessing]. You should drop [[Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support] for the second maintained enchant, and replace [["By Ural's Hammer!"] with [[Blessed Signet] if you don't feel comfortable with your energy otherwise. If using Essence Bond, lower Protection Prayers to 11+3, and raise Divine Favor to 6+1.

Counters

Runner

Attributes and Skills

<pvxbig> [build prof=A/Mo dead=12+1 sha=12+1+3 pro=3][Shadow Form][Deadly Paradox][Dark Escape][Dwarven Stability][Dash][Optional][Optional][Rebirth][/build] </pvxbig> For the optional slot you can get a healing skill such as Feigned Neutrality or Viper's Defense. Shadow of Haste is also quite helpfull Also try adding "Finish Him!" to help the beach tank with the last stubborn wallow. (speeds up run)

Equipment

• Weapon with +20% enchanting (such as Totem Axe and a shield).
• Any armor can do with attunement and radiant runes. Get your energy as high as you can.

Usage

• Follow the Beach Smiter, stopping to get the quest Return of the Yeti from Magistrate Kin near the entrance to the zone, until you come to a fork.
• Split off and run down to where Kayali the Brave is.
• Make sure you get the aggro of the Naga and bring them close to Kayali's group so that they primarily kill the assassins (most important part), and possibly Kayali. Your job is then done.
• If any Smiter dies, and that group doesn't have a way to Resurrect him, you may be asked to run over and use a resurrection skill.

Counters

• Failing to keep up Shadow Form.
• Failing to pull enough Naga to the Outcasts.
• The boss group containing 2 Outcast Assassins, Kayali, and a Death-hand will probably wipe the Naga group. Make sure you kill the Assassins if this happens. It's also possible to pull the farthest Naga group to Kayali's group, though this is very hard.
• Getting hit by Chilblains while pulling

Variants

• Pretty much any good runner build will do, regardless of profession. This spot is very flexible.
• Secondary or primary paragons can speed up the run. They should take Enduring Harmony to increase the duration of IAU and "Can't Touch This!" for the Beach tank and cast them before he/she will take on the wallows.
