ive tried the die next to the gate trick and it doesnt work.
maybe if you show where to stand to die, it would be helpful.

The only time we used Consumes was against the Disc of Chaos.

Thats it.

since that was fixed, try bringing a protection hero if you can with some bonds and such to keep the sarus alive.

RTSFirebat · Apr 04, 2008, 01:53 PM // 13:53

Yeah they fixed it, I'll get already over the next couple of days removing some older info from the first post.

Easy way to deal with it is have a Protection monk using Life Bond on the Sarus, and he will be able to keep it alive. Gate will go down in 2 Sarus max

Sorry for double post, but I've done a mass of updates to this guide, removed some outdated stuff. Added new tips.

Missmelady · Apr 04, 2008, 07:46 PM // 19:46

I havent been on in a long time... Well im back on with a new laptop. So I need to redo all the videos... Unfortunatly this make take some time for me as I am currently doing mass fff to max my kurzick and luxon titles. But I will do it. Btw Times recorded for me were written down as we did them in an excel spreadsheet. These were done without using any consumables.

Would be nice if you could post hero/hench builds and templates for heroes for each mission you do so we could kind of see what should be run for achieving those times.

Here is my guess, player is an ursan/damage-dealer heros are sab and the henchmen are something like... fire hench healer hench prot hench and some other hench maybe devona.

RTSFirebat · Apr 06, 2008, 02:02 PM // 14:02

Well I can' go into much detail but I use:

- Me: Rampaging Thumper or UB
- One BHA Ranger
- One MM
- One Resto Necro

- Talon (Better then Devona)
- Earth ele
- 2 Monk hench

Never use a fire ele against Destroyers, Earth, water or air is better suited. Also when dealing with Charr I switch the Resto Necro out for a SS or a party support Paragon.

Ravi · Apr 12, 2008, 01:39 PM // 13:39

For my part i run triple necro and myself as an ursan to the whole ebon vanguard and norn story arch, golem and a time for heroes, the only exceptions i do are:

Nornbear: Switch the mm for a "charge!" / "fall back!" paragon

Assault on the stronghold: switch out the n/rt healer for tahlkora as a bonder, whom btw allows me to take down the gate with only 1 ceratodon ive tried it more than once, so it works if done properly.

A time for heroes: i use arcane echo, "i am unstoppable!" , pain inverter, LoD, the heroes are Lod Extinguish necros with life stealing skills, 2x monk, Herta and an interrupt ranger.

As Per Against the Charr, except bring Herta instead of Cynn because of their resistance to fire... if you like her wards, you could bring Herta in the others too, but the AI Scatter from sandstorm annoys me.

would Sabs work on mostly all the quests?

MercenaryKnight · Apr 13, 2008, 03:41 AM // 03:41

Can someone post a youtube video or any video of the run on how to get to jaga moraine from long eyes ledge without running into hardly any enemies? Since I am not too sure which route to take is the best. Or draw on the map for me or something.

Ambuu · Apr 13, 2008, 07:52 AM // 07:52

Amazing Guide. Started it, was throwing chairs across the room 30 minutes later. I cant seem to get Blood Washes Blood down. First Time I did H/H (with Zho for interrupts) and well Zho decides to aggro A LOT! so I fired Zho permanently.

Got any H/H build ideas for this?

RTSFirebat · Apr 13, 2008, 08:18 AM // 08:18

Try:

You - UB (You need it to do it quickly)
Olias - Resto Necromancer
Magrid - BHA + Apply Poison + Throw Dirt + Epedicmic
A Party Support Paragon

Take Earth ele + two healer monks and a warrior. Margrid pretty much shuts down all Charr, Party support and Resto soak up extra damage. You as UB will be doing most of the DPS. Easy.

Yup they do, u have heve to switch some of them in a mission or two, like in a time for heroes, assault on the stronghold, nornbear (only for faster running speeds but not really necessary), for elusive golemancer i swtched the mm for a support para, other than that it's basically 3 necros for me

Thanks Mate! Now I can officially start a hero Handbook filling Service

ShadowofWar · Apr 14, 2008, 01:51 AM // 01:51

Lol not trying to offend anyone who runs books for people or anything(or any services), but do you people have school or jobs? I mean 2.5 hours per hm book and people generally want multiple so ill guess at least 2.5 hours wasted grinding for 50k. I just don't get why some people run other then maybe some gold sellers out there who are trying to cheat the system. I dunno maybe this is just some horrible random rant but couldn't you be doing better things then running people, i mean sure play for some fun but 8 hours a day running peoples "things" ok end rant.

P.s I used to run services on another account... This is just a little math but on said account i spent over two thousand , yes 2,000 hours running services
at minimum wage which around here where I am is $7 that makes 14 thousand dollars you could have spent merchanting REAL items eg. books or coins or stamps and turned 14 grand into 50 grand =O ok ok really i just wanted to put that in there a mod or someone can delet this part of the post if they like.

more so on subject now...

I just had a nice run while getting some of my titles and helping a guildie 2 hours total for give or take 10 minutes with myself being a sneaky person a vulf and my guild mate ursan near constant ias is nice =/

Ambuu · Apr 14, 2008, 03:47 AM // 03:47

lucky for me I have no school//work this week

But I plan on doing the books when I feel like it. I mean for me, an hour a day is easy for me
