Epic DQ Raid Completed

[totmacher]

Completed tonight on Epic... a level 20 weapon dropped and 4 seals dropped. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done in this game. 138 deaths in 45 minutes.

[totmacher]

I used maybe 80 pots. We used more in ToD and DQ 1 than anything.

[uhgungawa]

do I see you guys "Looking for Broccoli"? LOL TOO FUNNY!!!!

[shabam]

That was most exciting thing i've done yet! whoo!

[ariel7]

FIRST I want to say, you guys did an awesome job. Big UPS!

Second, 138 deaths from maxed out characters in 45 minutes? Hmmm someone dying every 20 seconds for 3/4 of an hour to get seeker +7? no thanks, Turbine. Epic is not worth my time.

[bobbryan2]

Wow...

They want people to run epic?

And very good job, guys.

[Aussieee]

It was an interesting run. Watching the DQ attack alot faster the last 10 % was interesting and painfull LOL.

Not even the rewards sadly Got 2 weapons for 50k...... you get more from VOD or Hound.

Im sure the death count can be brought down with practice. If you had time to notice, couple questions here;

• How hard did the blades hit, and what was the reflex save for them?
• How much damage did the Gnolls shoot for?
• What was the save on Wrack?
• How hard was the DQ hitting for?
• What immunities did the Efreets and Gnolls have?

Any information would be fantastic!

[Dark-Star]

Congrats guys.

Experience report screenies:





Four shards dropped...we cleared out the trash so people could see them.

Note that no named raid l00t dropped.



We noticed the Shards and Seals are bind to account, not bind to character. This was probably noticed elsewhere as well, but might as well point that out to people who missed it.



Everyone got an Epic Raid token, different from Epic Dungeon tokens:

Everything was fine until the end when she goes berserk, once you die, it's hard to heal yourself enough to survive with the blades and her running around.

118/138 deaths happened on the berserk mode.

I woudn't say the blades were too crazy at first. With the heals on time and 300+ hp you should be good. But after so many deaths you get one shoted from them At the end I was down to 170 hp and as soon as you rez blades kill you,can't even handle to heal youself fast enough with quicken. Archers weren't that crazy at all as well. Main problem was DQ herself and trying to keep away from her. If she gets to you I think she does somewhere about 50-60 per hit? So do that with 6 arms?

Nothing 100% accurate but now that we beat it we will start actually collecting data in 3 days .

• How hard did the blades hit, and what was the reflex save for them?
  Around 100-200, the save must be around 30.
  
  
• How much damage did the Gnolls shoot for?
  Not much, i only noticed i was getting hit by them when nothing was on the platform and i was taking damage, most be around 20-30.
  
  
• What was the save on Wrack?
  Only really noticed on a 1 .
  
  
• How hard was the DQ hitting for?
  Blocking around 40-50 each hit and i got a 28 DR so...
  
  
• What immunities did the Efreets and Gnolls have?
  Usual Red Named + Epic Ward. Gnolls = Not worth killing at all. Efreets = If you got the DPS to take all 3 of them in 20-30 seconds go for it, if not don't bother.

I think it is more like 70-85 or so atleast takes me 2 hits to die with death penalty. And I had 170 hp

agreed

[Gleipner]

Very good job guys, gratz to the completion

[Lorien_the_First_One]

Gee, that loot was worth it

Nice work guys

Exactly. I am all for extreme difficulty, but if you are designing something to sue epic amount of resources, epic deaths, time, effort, etc....make the loot worth it. If every named item has its own shard, how effing long will it tke to get the shard you seek? So lets see, 20-40 normal dq runs often the case to get 1 torq. Ransack 3-5 times for a bloodstone and greaves. (this all epic) then quite possibly what, with all the shard listings of ALL the items in the desert that are named, think about it, from the vulkoorim dagger to flint to a lot of named junk, it might take a 40th or 60th or more epic end reward list to get the shards you actually need. If you're looking at 80 some odd pots a run.....

Dont sell it short, its a +4 seeker7 of greater Goblinoid bane... lol BTW, Im trading for a gird if anyone is interested

But ML 20 so not like you're using it to kill gnolls in vale to level....its absolutely unlikely to be used. That said, if I had a gird I'd just mail you one so you'd actually get a decent reward for that quest.

Everything was fine until the end when she goes berserk, once you die, it's hard to heal yourself enough to survive with the blades and her running around.

118/138 deaths happened on the berserk mode.

That makes it a lot better, but still.

You guys did an excellent job!
