Trap the Soul Gears

[Sho-sa]

Best option for Trap the Soul (imo) is a Warlock since they get the spell but unlike Wizards they only use bog standard spell components and not those stupid Khyber Dragonshards which are a **** nuisance!

Hmm... That's a bit... Disappointing. Perhaps I'll just create a warlock alt and farm for earth soul gems instead...

there is a level 21 wizard hire w trap the soul on command bar forget how to spell his name but its something along the lines of grobbin halfvitch. What I do when I want to do the adamantine ritual is grab one of him and go to part 2 of the Temple of Elemental Evil (heroic on Elete) and repeat the pyramid fight until I get an earth node(dont forget to loot the chest for named stuff). Then run back to the entrance and call him, put him on passive so he does not waste sp. intim everything to myself and have him slowly soul trap all the earth elementals and mudmen, while I get everything else (positioning him can be tricky, I find parking him a little way from where I'm going to hold the swarm and then having him run up to each tends to work most of the time). Watch his timer then recall and reset as close to his expiry as I can without actually letting him expire.

EDIT: there are shrines in the temple feel free to rest him as much as he needs to regain sp, although you might need to kill some potential stones along the way if you have not already cleared to the shrine.

If I still need more gems:

Step in to a new instance and call him immediately, park him at entrance until I have cleared to the first earth node (might end up needing to do all 4 for this run). Have him tele to me and repeat the same process as before, as time is not an issue here, I might go on to the 2nd earth node if I still need more

I usually end up with about 130-160 ish earth soul gems per node
