Greetings Project 1999 Community, I am Draconite, 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!

Also: We use Discord for voice and announcements, download the application and I can send you an invite to the server.

Preparked my Halfling warrior of Zek.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Velious_Class_Armor_Comparisons was a broken link. Pretty comparable to skyshrine quest armor, but biased toward AC over other stats.

I'm noticing 7 has been problematic for a lot of people. I've heard that earlier or later would be better for a lot of folks, so I may consider moving the time in the future of that helps us start on time.

Also just to put this out there, would an a.m. west raid on a saturday work better for you euro people? I'm thinking just doing back to back friday night into sat morning for for a few hours. Time would probably begin somewhere between 10 am or 12 pm EST.

CSG does an AM Saturday HoT raid in east. That being said, I don't typically attend that because most of my chars are on Kael faction, so I would attend this and is a better time than the current Friday time. Likely would get more EU support, but if it makes it worse for NA time players don't feel like you would need to. However, speaking for myself a 10am EST start would be pretty great most of the time haha.

If you push the Friday forward any more than it is, likely I wouldn't be able to attend since it would be past midnight for UK-based timezone players.

If I pushed the friday night one later it would definitely be if there is enough interest in the morn. Since most euro are in CSG sat morning might not be the best for the euro players, but we might get enough us players on a saturday to make it happen anyway.

Raid had a slow start due to Discord not working for most and some unlucky FD fails. Plenty of drops within the first half of raid, mostly chain, then nothing but wurm meat. Lots of monk/sk corpses. Didn't have rogues either, so dragging took a bit of work. Even lacking DPS, we still had just enough space to kill the fleeing mobs without getting aggro from room spawns.

Thanks Draconite for hosting. Guys, bring your dps and heals to this event, Kael armor is pretty badass and faction is not as hard to get as you think.

I should make it known that next friday I will be out of town for a reunion so I will not be able to 'host' this next week on the 20th, but who needs a host? Work together, pick your gears and just do it. If someone wants to take care of loot you all do a great job setting it up and working together.

During the last raid there were talks about having WToV moved to Saturday mornings, either in addition to or as an alternative to Friday nights. If enough people are on board for that, I don't see why we couldn't give that a try for the next raid.
