I have had a number of requests for paradox olthoi (olthoi slayer) with the increased interest in running colosseum, so I will run a paradox queen (120+) saturday evening about 7 pmish cst. I will do a blackmires (100+, ancient armor) SUnday perhaps starting about 6 pmish cst.


Tonight I will be doing a Lady Aerfalle (aerlinthe recall) run. It is a fellow quest, so a max of 9 players, unforunately.

My timer is up for Paradox Queen Tuesday as well as more requests to run it, so I will run Tuesday starting about 7:30 cst.


Did not get to blackmires Sunday, so will try again sometime this week.


I found a nice level 4 aetheria that I want to level, so I will start running some xp quests too.

After a quick run out in the lake after work on this beautiful day in nashville to try and catch saturday dinner I thought I would start a Clutch of Kings (80+) run. There are 6 kings, each gives a reward of an mfk (125+), a random loot item (salvage, portal device, robe, noble armor\weapon imbue gem, or xp (56 mil)), 30% of level xp up to 56 mil (lvl 130). King 6 gets an Ancient Armor helm as well. If complete all 6 kings there are the additional awards of an mfk (125+), random piece of noble armor, 100% of lvl xp up to 187 mil (lvl 130).


Most likely at least 3 kings tonight and finish tomorrow.


Friday or Saturday evening I plan to do a Blackmire (100+) run. The rewards are Ancient Armor, fellowship spells, a portal device and decent 335\370 req weapons.

Little interest in Kings last night, but plenty for Paradox Queen, since my timer was up I ran that.


Depending on interest I will run Blackmires Sat eve and Kings Sun eve.

I tentatively plan to run Shadow Slayer (shadowfire stone) Tues, 8pm cst.


Please feel free to post any quest requests.

Tonight, I plan on doing Bur flagging (80+), then Asheron's Savior (80+) (4 mfks, robe, xp)

Also, may try Empyrean Rescue Quest

and hope it is not still sporked. I think I will be the sacrificial chicken to check the current state of the spawn.


Last week there were 4 of us on this quest and I was not aware\did not remember the initial large magic mob, which after a long fight I survived, but ran out of melee rare when the undead commanders spawned, which wasted me post haste, but the meleer (des) and guin (on a melee rare) killed the spawn, but then got destroyed by the big bosses.


The next attempt a couple of evenings later we had about 12 people and I was ready, or so I thought, until we jumped down and saw that the 2 big bosses were still there from the last run. We then discovered that the boss can smite you, even with a mag def rare, which was a hugely disappointing discovery, especially since there is not a way back to the last room that I am aware of. That alone would simply discourage anyone from doing the quest.


After we killed the 2 bosses and then waited for the shard to spawn the 4 undead commanders spawned again and laid waste to the remaining fellow. I quickly popped a melee rare and was the last surviving member and stayed just to see what would happen. After killing the 4 commanders another large spawn of about 9 appeared, including 1 commander. At that point it was simply not worth hanging around and possibly losing all the rares I looted from corpses. The magic crowd in the boss room cast 8s and I did not have another mag def rare to burn, nor did I want to at this point, since it was obvious that something had gone terribly awry.


My main reason for doing this now is for closure and redemption, lol. Unless turbine at least provides a way back to the boss room, this is the last time I will be doing this quest. There are other quests without a way back, such as aerfalle, but the effort involved in even getting to the boss does not even compare to the effort it takes for this quest. Even in the Jestor Prison quest you can easily get back to where the pyramids are.

Let's go again Berek!

Bah! What a complete and utter waste the Empyrean Rescue quest is. As before, lost over half the fellow to the pyramids, then lost another player to a string of 3 portals in the room just before the boss door, why the hell would turbine do that? After fighting 30 min to the last 2 bosses Des and I were smited (and a smite can happen on a rare, plus I was being hugely debuffed on a mag def rare during the first spawn and hit with wars more than several times). I do agree now that the quest rewards are a sad, pathetic token to the effort that is involved, much less the inability to return anywhere to the 2nd half of the quest. With the prodigious effort it takes to make it to the last spawn, with the likelihood of still not completing, no matter what is done, the rewards should be 2nd rare tier at least. I will not do this quest again until there is a way to return to the boss room at the very least. Probably even to the pyramid hall.
