Weekly West ToV Raid! (info inside)

[Sonderbeast]

Greetings Project 1999 Community, I am Draconite of <Paradox> 60th Warlord of Cazic-Thule. I would like to extend a weekly invitation to everyone 55+ on Blue to join us Fridays at 7 p.m. EST (4 p.m. PST) for an informal West ToV raid. The raids are held at the exit of West ToV just behind where Lendiniara the Keeper spawns. If you know your way to the exit then you can meet us there, or you can wait at the ToV entrance for a CoTH.

West ToV is Claws of Veeshan faction Wurms and Drakes which drop Kael quest armor. If you are curious to see how the armors line up to each other there is a useful post here:https://wiki.project1999.com/Velious...or_Comparisons

You will lose faction with CoV, and gain faction with the Kromzek of Kael. If you don’t wish to affect your hard earned Skyshrine faction, you can zone and run back to camp as the mob is near death to clear faction. It is not a requirement to have Giant Faction to attend.

The Loot procedure is fairly simple. We use a Pick 3 Greed style which allows you to pick any 3 drops from the West ToV loot table, any slot, any type of armor, but you can only pick 1 Major item (Chest or Legs) and 2 Minor items. If the item you picked drops then you and others who picked the item also roll for the item /ran 1000. If you are the only one who picked it, then the item defaults to you. You do not need to be able to use the item in order to choose it, nor does the item need to go to your character. You may attend and participate for friends or alts. Since the loot style is greed, once you win the item is yours and it is your responsibility to make sure the item goes to whomever you want it to go. Any item that is not picked is free rolled by everyone who has sent me their choices.


Some of the nice drops include:

The procedure of the raid is very similar to Halls of Testing, however West mobs are easier than HoT. They do not rampage, have less hit points, and are lower in level. Some mobs will gate, some will CH, red wurms will enrage, but the rest will flee. Resistance gear is a must!

Since this raid is informal, we will be relying upon attendance. We can do West with as little as 10 people if we have all the right classes, but unless we have those core classes we cannot attempt. At a minimum we need at least 2 clerics, a mana pumper (necro, mage, enchanter, bard) a dedicated slower (ench/shaman) a torp shaman, Any warrior 55+ or any 60 tank, two FD classes for pulls and two DPS classes. We will meet every week at ToV and if we do not have attendance we will disband at 6:30.

You will be responsible for getting to WToV and past Sontalak. I highly suggest you move your participating characters to ToV in anticipation of the raid. Some have brought multiple characters to West ToV in order to fill in needed roles, and that has been a great help. Bring your friends, especially your cleric friends, and leave your guild tag at the door. We will see you this Friday!

Very interested in this but the time is a bit of an issue for me, being from Europe. Even one or two hours earlier start and I'd be game! Maybe in a month or so I'll be able to plan around it and make it to the current starting time.

In either case thanks for doing this, this is a major boon to the community [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bump for Draconite. Have been on two of these. Unfortunately I have a friend visiting IRL and have not been able to attend this at the moment. Hope it is still going well.

We really need clerics this week. If you're coming, maybe bribe a cleric buddy for his assistance.

Sorry about the timing for you EU people, its the best time that works for me so that's what I have to roll with. Feel free to start up your own pick-up groups I won't be offended!

[Kesselring]

Clerics guys, the clerics get good ac to and sta and was well as the same.mana as hp in the kael sets. It's drops a lot more often too.

[Sonderbeast]

Raid is tonight! Come out and have some fun. Grumpy old men playing videgames best way to spend your Friday night!

[Boilon]

Good luck Draconite. Heading to London for 5 days but I'll be back to this next Friday available to heal if you're doing it next week too!

[Sonderbeast]

Thanks man, been working on getting a couple clerics to come consistently so that you can play your monk. Have a safe trip dude.
