Greetings Project 1999 Community, I am Draconite, Second Son and 60th Warlord of Cazic-Thule.
It has been a good experience organizing this raid for the past few months. The hodgepodge of Kael factioned players who come out to help are awesome and we've had some great success. Interest for the time being has subsided, I think mostly due to the holidays and to some temporary bans (several of our regulars were from A/A and were not allowed in ToV for a couple Fridays) and currently Finals week. I will be going on vacation soon, so I think this Friday will be the final West raid for the year. Hopefully we can pick it up again in January and interest will be renewed!
The raid will start Friday at 8:30 EST but arrive at 8, since it usually takes about 30 minutes to set up coths and set up the pick 3 loot management. 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 has Claws of Veeshan Wurms and Drakes which drop Kael quest armor. Bring CR/FR resist gear. 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.
You will lose faction with Claws of Veeshan (SS armor faction) but the faction hits are very minor (-5 faction points per mob). If you are KoS to Sontalak you will need to ask a druid for help to harmony him or die nearby and have someone drag and rez you at ToV entrance. Some have brought multiple characters to West ToV in order to fill in needed roles, and that has been a great help. Clerics are always needed as well as skilled pullers.
If you are curious to see how the armors line up to each other there is a useful post here: http://wiki.project1999.com/Velious_Class_Armor_Comparisons
Some of the major drops include quest armor for the following:

The rules to Pick 3 are as follows:
1. ONE Major item (Breastplate or Leggings) of any type.
2. TWO Minor items (the rest) of any type.
3. You MUST /tell the Host your items before you are allowed to roll.
4. All rolls will be /ran 1000 for ONLY those who picked the items if they drop.
5. If only one person picks an item, the item defaults to them. There will be no rolls.
6. If no one picks an item it will be /ran 1000 Greed.
7. Winners own the item once the /ran is rolled. They decide to whom and where the item goes, and therefore is their responsibility to make sure that the corpse is locked and looted.
I will keep a document open and take tells for your picks. All rolls will be publicly announced in /ooc. If it wasn't made clear above, you may attend and participate for friends or alts and it is not a requirement to have Giant Faction to attend.
We use Discord for voice and announcements. Download the application and I can send you an invite to the server. You can PM me any questions you have or contact me in discord for any extra information. Bring your friends, especially your cleric friends, and leave your guild tag at the door. I hope you join us this Friday at 8 pm!
