ToV Quest Armor Farming
 

Since it's looking like winter is actually coming soon, any guidelines on what to expect while farming quested gear in ToV or does the smaller guilds have to wait for the big guilds with 300-400+ members to get geared first? If there is going to be 15 guilds in there it's going to be slightly crowded. No GM intervention zone? Any thoughts?

I would leave this monster alone. Let people play and see what happens.

Recall that trash drops gems and faction can be farmed. No reason why people can't make groups to kill trash and get small pieces.

i have a reason for you..

greed.

There are 4.5 ways to get velious armor, and you're vastly overestimating the size of guilds who will be going after the 2 rarer kinds. Anyone can group up in kael to farm armor pieces, PoG is absolutely massive and could support 2 groups, and west TOV probably could as well.

What guild do you think actually has 400 members?

Skyshrine armor is by far the best for 95% of the pieces, bar none. I imagine skyshrine will be locked pretty hard for at least 3 months when raid targets are not up. Guilds like BDA have enough membership to never really leave the halls of testing. We'll see what happens--may have multiple groups in HoT and people trying to split it into camps. Anyone know the respawn timer on the trash in east temple?

It's been explained repeatedly that those numbers are wildly incorrect and do not remove players, include alts, mules, etc.

expect it to be a shitshow

All guilds have alts, mules. I'm just saying that when it's their turn for mobs...man, how many were at that CT?

85 from BDA, many of which weren't even 60 from what I could see, and 30-35 from IB at the peak.
