Hmm, so shadowknights and necromancers can fear kite them eh, sounds exciting! Would the clicky fear staff work reliably for the job?

Working on trade skilling to get those shawls! Snow Griffin eggs! Glowing Wurm Bile! Crystalline Silk!

The original Velious only had six shawl quests right? Weren't the flowing thought and the Zephyr of Brell ones added later? I started a few weeks before Luclin...

I'm pretty sure they were. There was a thread awhile back, think Ele posted the patch notes that confirmed it.

Don't quote me on that though.

7 shawls were available pre-Luclin. So the one with Flowing Thought I will be available.

Remember soloing dragons on my monk in ww by training quest giants that spawn over SG on their faces. Epic battles ensue and i would swing in, get a few hits and grab the loot.

My alts had exquisite velium weapons.

More lucky than exploit.

I didn't do much high end Velious stuff, but once while sitting outside Thurgadin a guild was doing one of the ring quests (final one?), which involved spawning a giant. They trained him on the guards, who took the bad boy down to about 50% health and finished him off. I was on my 35 ranger at that time, and I actually won the loot roll for some awesome sword off him with a perfect 100. Of course the guild didn't give it to me, but it was a good laugh at the time [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So yeah, not exploit. Smart strategy IMO.

[Barrier]

Just the first time my guild beat Sontalak and of all classes, there was only one person who survived. A ranger. Sontalak saying he must be careful not to squish people because they won't be crunchy or something was funny.

Then after weeks (months?) of telling my guild we could do NToV. We could handle it. We finally go and we did pretty well.

[ArumTP]

Yeah sontalak he was the testing halls boss, I remember him, killing him, and seeing nothing cause I had to stand behind a pole the whole time. I also remember failing on him like 2 or 3 times before getting it right. Soon as we got him down, other stuff became seemingly doable. Like 4 months later we downed statue after mastering vindi splitting/killing.

I look forward to the first kromrif death squad victim.

[Sat Jul 07 20:14:51 2012] Kromrif Death Squad scowls at you, ready to attack -- You could probably win this fight.

[Sat Jul 07 20:15:07 2012] Your target resisted the Ensnare spell.

Didn't die but holy jesus are those the most annoying things ever. That part of the quest is just infuriating, even when you are a pet class.

[Sat Jul 07 21:10:15 2012] You stumble over a pile of snow exposing a Coldain!
[Sat Jul 07 21:10:29 2012] Tanik Greskil says 'Thank you, . I shall be eternally grateful to you. Should you ever require my assistance I pledge to you my aid. Please deliver this to Borannin, it is imperative that he deliver this to the Dain at once. Farewell for now outlander...'
[Sat Jul 07 21:10:29 2012] You gain experience!!

tl;dr for the person who asked a question, if you have terrible luck, there are traps above the valley heading into Kael (from Eastern Wastes) which spawn 2-4 Kromrif Death Squad NPCs which are very resistant and hit in the 130-140 realm. The traps are PHers for an NPC for the 4th shawl quest.

Go go shawls... Side note, F Tailoring.

Also was doing the Coldain rings today, such a boss quest line. However it was bugged (and still is on Al'Kabor) since its creation making the 6th ring a pita to obtain.
