Best places to hunt in Velious

[Torqumada286]

Given the number of posts that we have on Kunark in this section, it's obvious that everyone here likes to plan out things way ahead of time. So, with the release of Velious due sometime between now and the end of the world in 2012, it might be the best time for people to start planning what to do with characters that they may not even have when the expansion goes live.

awakening the sleeper will be goal #1 of most raid guilds. Preventing other guilds from ever having avatar weapons is the goal you know.

By that logic, I would say the number 1 goal would be to farm said avatar weapons, thereby making the awakening of the sleeper a #2 goal.

I truly hope it doesn't come to that here but...

nah, I think it'd take a level of spite (and skill/numbers, come to think of it) that is as of yet unseen on this server for someone to wake the sleeper.

Although we are sorta getting ahead of ourselves. I did chuckle at your 2012/end of the world comment, hehehe

Which is my point.

Since this server doesn't progress past Velious, I'd hope whatever top guilds are still around at that time would be able to come to an agreement that it benefits everyone to not wake the sleeper.

Denying other guilds weapons works both ways, as you also deny yourself.

It's not possible to deny other guilds from ever having Avatar weapons, because even if the Sleeper is awakened, other weapons that proc avatar will still drop in ST.

They just won't have the street cred that comes from being pre-awakening weapons. :P

I'm pretty sure they had the same stats as the Primal Weapons but did not proc AVatar.
EDIT: Oh wait it changes around so many times... Primal, Velium, Prismatic, Secundae. Which ones were droppable at the same time, any?

Before sleeper release = Primal Velium XXX, proc avatar
Post sleeper release = Ancient Prismatic XXX, same stats, procs avatar (some have different graphics from Primal)

Releasing the sleeper cockblock other guilds from some items, like sceptre of destruction, but has nothing to do with stopping others from getting avatar proc'ing weapons.

I played on Xev which, iirc, kept the sleeper asleep longer than any other server except Karana? second longest anyway. We had an agreement between the raiding guilds to always leave a warder up and much farming was done by all. It's not impossible to arrive at such a situation... just unusual.

Velious, Kael Drakkel Raids, TOV Raids, and Sleepers Tomb Raids are why I am playing this server. I cannot wait to see Velious, I really hope the community lasts and I am well into raiding with Dendris.
