Curse

I'm thinking about starting a service to do vanquishing/missions for people, but I'd prefer to just stick with the ones that most people consider the hardest to do or have the most trouble with. I realize this can be quite subjective, but any input would be appreciated.

edit: Well I went back and tried eastern frontier with myself and 2 heroes, its doable but quite slow so that probably won't be worth doing. I'll see how fast I can do the others mentioned here tomorrow, thanks for the ideas.

Joko's Domain, Eastern Frontier, and Sacnoth Valley. Each for different reasons. All other areas are an Ursan snorefest.

Eastern frontier is really frustrating (in ascalon area). You often have to fight 2+ monks groups with high damaging hammer grawls in a 4 man area.

I went with a friend and Heros from Yaks and vanquished all of ascalon. That helped.

Joko's Domain and Eastern Frontier

Been a while since I did the vanquishing thing. But I think that apart from the mentioned areas, the Poisoned Outcrops were also quite hard to vanquish for me.

All those damn popups of Rain and Rock Beetles near Ruby Djinn and Enchanted Brambles and stuff...

Eastern Frontier by far. Then Poisoned Outcrops. Oh, and Hidden City in NF. Those Djinn don't play fair.

Majesty's Rest can make some people tremble in fear as the thought of Rotscale in HM seems too daunting or something. In reality, not that bad. But just knowing Rotty lives there could bring some decent business to your service.

crazybanshee · Feb 19, 2008, 03:13 AM // 03:13

/agree with Majesty's rest. You could make good money since it's basically easy except for that, and quick. Joko's domain takes hours so less runs = less money. Eastern frontier and ice dome are the pits. Dunno about ursan, I did all my vanquishing before it came out.

Two April Mornings · Feb 19, 2008, 03:18 AM // 03:18

Hardest for me was honestly Raisu explorable.

Lilanthe · Feb 19, 2008, 03:24 AM // 03:24

Most frustrating for me was Talus Chute. So painfully long, and those damn groups of 5-8 imps with their maelstroms...

if you're looking to run people, 4man areas are strictly out of the question. Areas like majesty's Rest are perfect to run due to the area being excessively difficult if you don't have a perfect clue what you're up against. People wanting runs will typically pay for very large and tedious areas (Joko's Domain) or areas that have a boss or lots of powerful caster mobs that give their party trouble.

If you want an idea of what you'll be running, browse the service threads and see what areas people are paying to get runs for.

Most of the Vabbian areas with roaring ethers / djinn , thats before ursan existed - don't know how easy it is now.

You haven't really vanqed till you do it without ursan.

You could always, you know, try to refrain yourself from using ursan in areas with extreamly heavy E-denial... Hate to say it but you'll have to tank out the initial AoE spikes to keep your team alive, this can be done with an obs tank or even just a human with ps/sb precasted.

Rift · Feb 19, 2008, 04:22 AM // 04:22

Unwaking Waters (Explorable) - Not because it's hard, but because the map is retarded, and has areas where you can't set foot, yet enemies may spawn there.

Having 3 enemies left on one of those unreachable jade waves after an hour of vanquishing, and only one hench ele made me want to jam sharp things into my eyes >.<

The Little Viking · Feb 19, 2008, 04:22 AM // 04:22

I would pay someone good money for the vanquish of eastern frontier and majestys rest. also for dreadnaughts drift....and while we are up that far, care to go into lomars pass as well? Not that lomars would be hard...just boaring alone.

Lord Sojar · Feb 19, 2008, 04:28 AM // 04:28

I breezed through Majesty's Rest (killed Dumbscale in about 2 mins flat).

Eastern Frontier = Satan. Stupid Grawl that link together. We had to fight a group with 4 monks and 5 hammer warriors. That was LAME.

Targuil · Feb 19, 2008, 05:22 AM // 05:22

Somehow I have to say: Grothmar Wardowns... That group in the fort was just impossible to me. But then i figured that i get rid of it by doing mission first.

E: And yes, i'm legendary vanquisher so i have gone through all the other shit.

Linksys · Feb 19, 2008, 05:57 AM // 05:57

Arbor Bay because it's so long and lately it seems hard to find a team for it. I tried a PUG group effort on here and found one person online, but he barely responded. I had two PUG attempts from ingame. In the first someone just said he was bored and bye and left the game. Second time i think a couple people disconnected as I recall. Fortunately a third time was finally a success.

The longer a vanquish or any effort is, the more likely the possibility the whole team won't be altogether by the end. And by end it could be completion or a failed attempt.
