As I've stated previously.

You don't need to have no life and you don't need to be absurdly lucky to complete this. I play a fair amount, but between midnight-6pm every weekday I'm basically asleep or at work, so I'm only available to be only 25% of the day and guess what, I'm not on all the time.

I spent 0 time poopsocking Verina or Vessel. Got each on different sim repops. Just bind nearby, and be ready to solo them.

You are being too impatient with your epic. When you're impatient like that, you're bound to poopsock like you have and waste days only for a simple lapse in attention to make it completely wasted time.

Just hang around and group in Seb or HS or Chardok or roll an alt, and when the world shakes or the server goes down for a patch, gate to Neriak first thing and solo her.

If you absolutely must have your epic in 5 days time feel free to continue sitting on the spawn I guess. But don't be surprised when you are continually disappointed because a guild like Rampage has a lot of people ready to come own Verina in the drop of a hat. Get them on a respawn and those sorts of quick mobilizing folk are busy killing Dragons.
This is the best way I think. I'm just extremely nervous about trying to solo her and dying. Sow will likely have faded by the time this happens, and I still need to go out and quest a CH item. Plus luck on landing spells, pulling her back to a the blue con pet without dying on the way, etc. It's effort free in terms of socking but still very risky.

I don't understand why people outside of guilds are always angry at people inside guilds for losing mobs to them. If you are thinking "how do I get such and such item" and you choose to do it through a guild that means you put in time and pay dues and the guild invests in you in return by sweeping in and getting fte on mobs.

It's the same thing as waiting in line to get VT, it's just that the line is in a different location.

Some recruitment processes are 3 month long things. You have no idea what the other person has sacrificed or not sacrificed when thier guild goes in.

You can improve your odds of not dying by turning in lots of red wine at the library in order to improve your status with various factions around Neriak Third Gate.

It's not the factions I'm worried about since I can DE illusion.

It's her beating on my back/rooting/nuking me while I pull her.

Oh, I assumed. Most guilds exert resources to assist in tracking this mob and ensuring a kill on pop by precamping toons.

Welcome to EQ. Risk yields rewards.

If you die, so what? You're level 60, exp isn't a huge deal and getting a Rez in Neriak isn't the most challenging thing in the world if the exp matters to you.

SoW is 36min, carry a 100plat potion on you and click it before you gate if you're in an outdoor zone when one happens. The Reaper quest can be streaky with RNG but it isn't bad.

Really, I don't think you need to land any spells on her at all to be honest. On my Druid I had 70% Haste and 32 DS on my pet (plus DWing weapons). Enchanter can do 70% and 11 DS. I did heal a bit with Robe clicks but I doubt I put more than 2000 HP back into the pets life. That's like 3 Rune V's. You would only really need to worry about sticking a slow if she channels a CH.

You shouldn't die on the way back, if you are in DE illusion its very easy, just tag and run. You'll eat 1 nuke maybe before you get out of her LoS. It won't even break Rune V + Bedlam. Likely you can resist if you have some okay MR gear or at the very least get a partial.

Or... Continue socking, call in some friends, and play an extremely small role in the actual kill for your epic piece. And possibly get out mobilized by another guild, then end up back here.

I'd opt to try soloing it 10x over socking it, cause challenges like that are fun, and if I fail, no skin off my back. I spent 10 min prepping for the fight after the earth shook. Maybe ate an exp death. I didn't waste hours or days of my life waiting for it to spawn. to each their own however.

I'm going to give this a shot then. As long as I can get her pulled back without dying I should have a chance. Thanks Dald. I have no ambition to park my toon in neriak for months, there's nothing fun about that.
