Rez Rings

[Nictolopy]

Hello All!

I am just starting (finally) to get some really uber gear for my characters. Not a lot, really, but some. What I would really like for at least two of my characters are rez rings. Alas, I do not know how to do a run for that through the Shrieking Mines. Can anyone offer me guidance, or a link to someplace that describes how to do it so I can put together a group for it?

Thanks!

First you need to be able to teleport to the Shrieking Mines, and that implies making the run to the quest giver at least once. See here for walk instructions: http://ddo.enterwiki.net/page/Restless_Isles
Then I suggest you do the quest at least once for completion to get an idea of the dungeon, and work towards your Titan-readiness.
Basic instructions are as follows:
- kill the two ogres in the first side room to get the key
- open gate with key, run straight ahead till you fall in the pit
- fall almost all the way to the bottom
- go through the sonic traps to the door at the end of the corridor
- kill flayer behind that door, open chest and pray for a rez ring

Good luck, it took me something like 20-25 runs to get one myself :)
It's also rather easy to solo with a L14 character, so you can practice on your own. The only real risk is rolling a 1 on mind blast.

I know someone replied to this already, but I'll tell ya how I do it.

Assuming you know how to get to the quest, here goes.

Zone in and buff....in front of you is a ladder.

Climb ladder and there will be three ogres to kill....kill them and when you get to the top of a lil hill there will be a grated door on your right and an open room on your left. The open room has some miners and two ogre chiefs.
Kill them all...open the small chest to get a key to open the grated door.

Now, there are two ways to do the next part. Some people like to kill all the miners as they go along, leaving one alive....that way when you open the flayers chest and dont get a rez ring you can go, kill one more miner and fail the quest. This means you dont have to fight yer way throo all the mine shaft BS again. I dont do that..

I open the grated door and run...keep running, past everything and fall down the hole....all the way to the bottom....careful of the lava...

Then, start climbing back up and you'll see a force trap with a lil monkeyman working it. Range him if need be, his death switches off the trap....and then you are at the Flayers door.

Buff up...on my barb I always get House P buffs for CHA..he has 6 CHA without an item and the Flayer does CHA damage, making him helpless.
On my barb I use my planar gird, rage clickie, false life, pro from evil, rage, haste, fearsome armour...fearsome armour is very important, to me. When you have five ogres pounding on you you want some of them to please stop...fearsome does that...Ive even been made helpless with CHA damage and still been able to recall because everything was feared. The flayer is always too busy running his mouth and flayling his arms to kill me....Open the door and go to town...open chest and then recall....cause you didnt get a rez ring....

Now, the mine shaft that leads to the quest is a lil more tricky. Let me see if I can recall from memory.

When you go down the first shaft there is a monkeyman who will port you to the shrine...When you zone in, at your back will be the mineshaft for Slavers.

Zone into the mineshaft. First thing you will come across is scorpions....kill um....I like to stand on the rocks all the way past the scorps...this way they zone in out and hardly hit ya.

So, once you've killed them yer gonna be fighting a bunch of monkeymen. Now, a lil bit of advice, if yer a fightertype dont use yer one-use clickies yet, save them for the actual quest.

So, when you open this door yer gonna have about ten monkeymen you have to fight. Buff up (see above note) and killkillkill....inside this room is a chest with a key. Take the key....now, come out the room and turn left....up to the top of the hill....and yer gonna be going right at the top of the hill...around the right hand corner is gonna be more monkeymen...ignore them...run right past them and the dogs....down the hill, past more monkeymen and an ogre....to a grated door. The key you got in the first room opens this grate....open, quickly if you've chose to run past everything...and go throo the open grate...now, you want to turn right and go downhill, past more monekymen and a coupla ogres....then, once yer past them you are at the Slavers mineshaft....see above for what ya do now....

Hopefully this is helpful, and good luck to you sir.

Ive ran this quest Ive no idea how many times looking for a ring...I ransacked it every week for ten weeks, still no ring....whatcha gonna do? Ransack summore..

Once you get how to run it down its very fast and very simple...

Oh another lil tip is if you recall twice, turn around, go back down and talk to the monkeyman past the slimes he'll teleport you to the shrine....where you can rest up and go to the quest again. Also, at the shrine is a lil mokeyguy who will happily sell you some potions for inflated prices...very handy. Almost as if the Devs want us to do loot runs for the ring....hmmmm.
