Wait, so do the elite missions have a separate "lobby" area, or do you journey straight to the dungeons itself from the capital?

Mitsu Bishi · May 05, 2006, 10:20 PM // 22:20

Yes, there is a lobby that is only accessible via talking to an NPC in the exclusive area. So you can't port back to it via your map, but if you happen to log out there, you will log in there if you come back, no matter who holds the city. Once you leave, you're out but in theory you could stay in there forever (there's a merchant AND a Xunlai agent in there, so there's no need to leave for that).

I can confirm that you do not need to currently hold house in order to enter. Skins are worth it, and yes it has a lobby, and yes you NEED necrotic traversal.

This is us in room 6 or 7, but we ended up getting to room 8. We ended up losing two guys from disconnects so we died. We will have this beaten within the next week or two.

That is the Luxon mission.

can anyone post the mission objectives? or they are like, go kill a lot of angry mobs, then kill boss, and done with it?

So drawing off that, could I have a member of the alliance take me to the lobby area--and then eleven more people, who aren't in the alliance, and us twelve enter the mission together?

Mitsu Bishi · May 06, 2006, 02:52 PM // 14:52

Yes, this should be entirely possible.

And you do not need Necrotic Traversal - at least not in the Luxon mission.

Corinthian · May 06, 2006, 03:21 PM // 15:21

Makes you wish you would be able to play it.

Neat! So they aren't as completely restricted as I feared.

Thank you very much.

You need it for the Kurzick mission.

I'm in a pug group tonight and we're at the 8th room....
ugh.
Three hours...
More horror stories to come!

I love Hopping Vampires. Suicide Health - they sacrifice themselves but take ALL of your health. 100%. Even at 1000 with endure/defy...

Woutsie · May 07, 2006, 01:56 PM // 13:56

My guild also went to Urgoz's Warren but there was a room that was bugged. The one with the 2 teleports...

Jodie O · May 08, 2006, 01:32 AM // 01:32

I seriously love this mission.
It's such a pity that its not open to everyone, I am lucky that I am in a really great alliance that knows alot of people within the community. However, If you get a chance to go in this mission, you won't regret it.
It totally ROCKS. Can't wait to go back in

vtrajan · May 08, 2006, 05:35 AM // 05:35

The room with teleporters is not bugged.

However, the 9th one is bugged.

Vaga · May 08, 2006, 01:59 PM // 13:59

The mission isn't that great really. There are hundreds of the exact same monster that you have to kill over and over. You can't even run in there with 12 people, you have to do really boring pulls and this mission ends up taking a long time.

The only thing that makes it somewhat interesting is when you see a chest, but chests are few and far between and in total there are normally like 3 chests through the entire mission. There could be a few more, but since the mission is bugged you cant do anything else as it is.

So basically you go in there to get Zodiac items which do look pretty sweet...but to be honest the amount of faction farming it takes to get to the capital isn't worth being able to farm zodiac items.

The mission is cool for a while though, its definently worth checking it out because it is kind of unique. This fun experience lasts for about 30 minutes depending on what character you are on, after this time though it gets really lame. After 3 hours...unless you find a really good drop everyone is just like bitching about the mission ;p

Fates · May 08, 2006, 02:36 PM // 14:36

This mission is insane, too bad it's bugged. There are a number of issues:

First of all, because it takes so friggin long, you are prone to err. 7's, and while it's tough with 12, it's really interesting with 10 and less. There are mapping errors in quite a few places where people "fall through" and get stuck. You can't trade with them so if they dont have a vamp weapon to die and rebirth, they're really stuck (pro tip, bring a vamp weapon, just in case). The second room of the kurzick mission requires a necro to nectroctic transversal up to open the gates, without that, it's gg.

And finally, the most annoying bug. Have been to the 9th room twice, the door behind you closes, and the door infront doesn't open, that's it, you're done. Had an awesome group last night, we were flying, got to that room in just over 2 hours and were forced to quit. So annoying.

Oh, and ya, the mob after mob after mob gets a little tedious after a while.

Tips on completing the room that will popup 50 mobs if too many people enter it to kill the serpents?

Is it 3, 4, 5, 6 people who can be in the room? or is there another trick to it?

Shanaeri Rynale · May 25, 2006, 06:27 AM // 06:27

3 people at a time, send in 2 ele's and a warrior to kill the tree then serpent. Then those 3 go out of the serpent door, over the bridge and stand on the patch of dirt after it. Send in 3 more and wait until they join the others. Then 3 more and then the final 3

carlokes · May 26, 2006, 04:59 PM // 16:59

The telepor was not broken...you need to take a teleporting skill to go upthere and open the gates...the teleport is to return to your team

willie makeit · May 28, 2006, 02:38 AM // 02:38

We did it two weeks ago and finished it. We had an all guild group and we had a full party at the end. It was a blast, he droped all three green bows.
