Post by motobike »

Hey Gang

Moto the chanty ere,

I tried the Hole when I was 45 like suggested me and rag (shrouded) the fights was hard the ex was 1% (crap) per mob but the drops were worth 95 plat at the vendor so this sux

I tried Com with rag non shrouded and the xp was 1% a mob but rag beeing UBER I dinged within 20 mins he was just chain slaughtering.

So hotspots for 47+ = Group with a wrecker (excellent xp)

Next me and rag are going to charris I have the key now and will report back im lvl 52 : )

Soon you are going to see 1% a kill the norm as your levels increase unfortunately:( If you think about it, that is only 100 mobs a level which really goes fast if you are not watching your exp bar every kill:) For optimum exp, you want to try to find yellows/reds within 5 levels of your current level as they will yield the most bang for your buck. If you can get through a PoJ trial with a few folks, you will find PoV a very rewarding sone for the exp and also for the ethereal parchments that are random drops to save you money on your 61-63 spells as opposed to bazaar shopping for them.

Yah from all the zones I have to say that PoV definetly seemed the way to go for XPing. 4-5% per kill when soling there with Tur.

Olharb kindly flagged my mage for Valor and Storms and I'm sticking nearly 4% reg exp on her per kill (she gets full credit) at 53.

Not bad imo

hmm, since I lack Olly's dps by a fair sized margin, I assume that myself, shambot 1.0 and one other dps class would be able to mow throw a poj trial with ease. Maybe I can set something up wednesday and grab moto for a quick trial run and open up some new zones for him to have fun in:)

Plus, once flagged for storms, could grab him all the bits to get into bot early as well:) I love the look on peoples faces when they see a high 40s low 50s person in bot:)

Heheh I had Hitten in BoT at 49. So long as she didn't get hit she did quite well in there.
Wouldn't mind doing all the PoJ trials myself, only ever done the one.

Wow sounds Great

Post by motobike »

Hey Gang,

Well I just went out and Bought PoP and DoN expantions as part of my growth. I would love to come along on a trial to get flagged for PoP.

Update im now 56 and charris is a great place for xp only with RAG in my group as there is no way I could solo here its too hard. Tonight Rag got his last epic piece from HS and I dinged. Xp wise again 1% a mob but 5plat a kill aswell so you get bogged down really quik with cash.

Looking forward to Putting in my application to join once I reach 60 and thankyou all so much who have helped me so far.

Excellent Guild and you are represented by excellent people.

What did I JUST SAY --- )

Post by motobike »

Hey Gang Motobike here,

Just found this very good thing on the net.

Trial in POJ a way to do them so much faster. Also I just recieved my PoP Expantion so I could come with you guys /hint .....

--------Paste---------

And the steps are very similar but a little different:

1) Enter the trial preparation area.

2) Buff up the group.

3) Stand on the beacon to the Trials of Execution (most commonly chosen for the difficulty).

4) This is where the steps differ… instead of starting the trials, the enchanter and druid leave the trial prep area.

5) Right outside are High Guardians of Justice, near the door are 2. Enchanter pacifies one.


6) Enchanter mesmerizes other (with bliss or sleep).

7) Enchanter tashes it.

8) Ranger/druid snares it.

9) Enchanter charms it.

10) Both the druid/ranger head back to group on the platform.

11) As SOON as the enchanter receives the notification of his mesmerization spell that wore off his charmed pet, enchanter triggers the event.

12) Enchanter hastes pet.

13) When the 4 mobs spawn, enchanter /assists the tank and sends his pet (if you haven’t figured it out already, the pet is massive DPS).

14) Enchanter meses only 2 adds, mesing more is futile with that much DPS. The unmesed ones are dead by the 3rd mes so no use mesing the 3rd one.



I’m sure you can figure out the rest of the steps from here. If mes break no worries, you have a few options, chanter run from pet and recast or druid/ranger gets agro with snare so enchanter can recharm with ease.



I have done all 6 trials this way and I can tell you the pet makes the trials a 1000 times easier. Once you do all 6 trials, assuming you have looted all the 6 marks from each of the bosses, you can say ‘I seek knowledge’ to The Tribunal and you will get the key to the chamber. It really is more fun than it is ‘work’. To use the key, you must hold the ‘Mark of Justice’ and push ‘u’ on the keyboard while standing in front of the blue portals in the trial preparation area.


Well folks I told you a clever person would find a better way lol.

Hands up who wants to give this a bash ?

Man.. the trials are possibly soloable by 50% or more of wreckers :)

That said it's some good ingenuity.

Moto can hold Turooks hand. I need someone to throw at the mobs to distract them for a minute or two :)

I thought the exp hotspot thingy only applied if you were in the specified level range, and otherwise you just got regular exp there?

No it's across the board Gol. Even if the mobs were light blue you would still gain the modified experience from the kill. The ZEM is zone wide and not just limited to the required level.
