Shadow Knight Plane of Sky Tests

[Orotiagito]

Can this still be done? If so can it be done at level 46? Can it be done in one sitting or does it take raids/keys?

[thieros]

yes, yes, yes(many sky runs as loot is random so potentially you could complete 1 run, or 1 quest may take you forgoddamnever/keys)

[arsenalpow]

Sky is a raid zone, you'll need a raid (or at least a few groups of hard pipe hittin ngas)

Each test is a quest compromised of 3-4 items found only in the plane of sky. The tests have at least 1 no drop quest item, the rest are droppable with some being rare/expensive.

Unless you are the luckiest person ever, expect to go on plane of sky raids for many weeks and months to get all the pieces needed for each quest. The guilds that raid plane of sky on the regular usually keep extra pieces banked, if you find yourself missing a tradeable piece that you need to buy to complete a quest. Generally the trash mobs drop the tradeable pieces, and the boss of the island drop the no-drop piece. A couple of the SK quests require a piece from the efreetis, but there are better alternatives to those items so the efreeti pieces are usually banked/rot

Plane of sky has limited progression as you will need keys to move from island to island, kill island 1 mobs for island 2 key, island 2 mobs for island 3, etc. The keys disappear when you zone out of plane of sky, so you will have to save them on a corpse for return visits, or collect them again.

Join or make friends with one of the many guilds that raid Sky. The community has a rotation set up, but if you need Nobles pieces (shield, pauldrons, sword) there are only a few guilds that compete for those, though you may be able to purchase them for plat and/or sex.

and the quests arent MQable before anyone asks.

being the first SK to complete all sky quests I can say... It will take a while. The neck, shoulders, belt and mask are your priorities, the shield is garbage, the sword is okay..was insane at Kunark launch when dmg caps and proc rates where a wee more than they should be. But now just get epic etc.

also the parts are very focused on str int and dex.. So its not so much for tank focused.

the ring is eh...if you don't have better go for it, its not so rare of them all.

You just got super lucky on the rolls and turntaking! Still a little irritated about all those drops going to you first... 3 years later... :D

At least I got my epic before you... that you weren't really playing is no excuse!

[Acrux Bcrux]

Ive made every sky raid that i was able to in the last like 2.5 years and have yet to see the piece off of gorgalask for my ranger /shakesfist

the amount of time I spend in sky when it was first released was prepayment omg...and I didn't get first EoV sword I had to get 2nd.. But because I had the ring and shield from the wayback DA days and others didn't is why I had em all first lol..yeah just random on the rolls etc.

epic I was... Umm... 4th or 5th... I was the next lharc kill after sentenza, I got mad lucks on my pohate hide.

but all that said... The sky quests do work and everything does drop, and they are great items to take into vel... Sans the sword shield and ring hehe

And I would have gotten my epic before you except you decided to show up last minute for the Hate raid I organized and forced me to roll for the Ashenbone drop...

We all have a our sob stories. :)

I got lucky and finished my Sky quests pretty quick. However with that being said, I did buy some of the no drops from another guild (A-Team at the time when I was in Flawless Victory/Raptute at the time). Also, I was going to sky every Sunday when Eabon led open sky raids, so essentially I was up in Sky 3 times a week. It still took me 2-3 months to complete all the quests. So I guess it was upwards of 20-30 Sky clears to finish the quests...and this was only for no drop pieces. I bought some of the rare tradeables from TMO and other guilds.

Sky is huge pain in the ass.
