Twilight Forge: Repair your sigil, taxi in the Spine, BYOH, YLYC

[Phidius]

Gemstone recently hit level 12, and in true TR tradition is hitting the level 11 quests on schedule.

BYOH: Bring Your Own Heal
YLYC: Your Loot Your Choice

If you're interested in running at-level Titans for Xp and loot, and are between levels 9 and 12, stock up on cure pots and get your sigil!

Taxis will be leaving from Tempest Spine courtesy of a over-level sorc who will not be coming into the raid.

I keep a 15th level monk outside the entrance just in case no one else joins, so a 12 monk would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I'll need at least 2 other people to avoid XP penalties.

If you want to learn the raid, come early - I'm happy to show you the ropes, but I'm not gonna wait.

For part 2, bring Visors for DW and a good balance (mid-high 30's will do, 40 is prefered) if you don't want to hang out on the ladder. If more than one person is interested in performing a task, we'll roll for it. Please also have voice chat - I try to use Party Chat for directions, but sometimes I don't have enough time for that.

1. Gunner: VoiceChat needed, and balance of 40 prefered. Primary controller of the gun.
2. Backup Gunner: Hangs out on the gun platform just to fire the laser - not responsible for gun movement while Gunner is at station. This role also includes running bottom crystals (just the first 2, and should use sneak while in the room)
3. Bottom Pillars: VoiceChat needed. No THF please - S&B or TWF with your best construct beaters.
4. Top Pillars: The more the merrier - please have some way to deliver ranged damage to constructs.
5. Top Crystals: Balance of 40 prefered - stay on top when loading the crystal. Multiples are encouraged.

Feel free to run around as you please at the beginning, but once we're loading crystals and moving the gun please find a ladder and get off the bottom floor unless you've won the roll for dropping pillars.

I'm bringing plenty of Raise Dead scrolls, so don't fret if you die on a ladder - you'll get a raise and your loot in the end. While ladder duty is extremely boring, it's also important to minimize the chance of the Titan running around at a bad time. If you get thrown onto the bottom floor during a pillar drop, please run toward the Titan and take your death like a ... well, you get the idea.

When is that happening? If I have enough time I'll flag for it on my wizard...dunno what happened to his sigil =(

How in the heck can you get a 40 balance by level 12?

Maybe 15 ranks for a class that gets full ranks, +11 item at the most....+6 dex generous for a dex based character, maybe 8 at the most. Shroud item for +6 dex skills. 2 heroism? 4 GH? Thats still only mid 30s unless you have greensteel from a TR.

I'd love to set a date/time, but with my wife not returning to school this semester it would seem I won't be able to order my own schedule

According to /quest, I should be able to run it in 1d 19h 20m

Look for the LFM on Monday

40 = 9 (ranks) + 15 (hobnail boots ML7) + 4 (GH) + 1 (luck) + 6 (dex) + 5 (action points) would be acceptable, but certainly not required.

Gemstone only has 4 ranks, and he's not Dex based, so he's at 35. I did say it was preferred, right?

Edit: Also forgot boosts from belts with tiny/small/etc... guild slots for +1/+2/etc...

The second run went much better than the first - the loot seems to be better when you run it at level. Last time it was a +2 Con tome, this time it was the Chattering Ring.

The LFM started out as 9-12, then 10-13, 11- 14, and finally 12 - 15. It seems like 15 is when most people start getting flagged.

There sure seems to be a lot of high level activity on the Restless Isles, though - hoping to convince some of them to try the raid at the appropriate level.

If you're looking for some more lvl 14's to run this, my guild has 3 TR's that are looking to run this. We're looking to learn it and run it on elite at one or two levels above at most so we don't take too much of a XP hit. Contact me any way you want and we can work out the details.

Planning on running it on Hard/Elite once the normal XP has been exhausted - probably in about a month or so.

You should come on the normal runs, too - I don't know how much teaching I'll be able to handle at the higher levels.

On the plus side, I took the time to inspect the symbols in the green puzzle room, and from now on I'll be solving it so that all the bridges are left down - more time has been wasted trying to rez people who fall into the lava pits

[mws2970]

Running it normal would probably be the best way to learn it. I've only run it 2-3 times and was just a piker every time.

If you can let me know when you think you might run it again, I'll look for your LFM. Thanks!

****, I'll try and catch the next run I guess. Didn't have much time to play monday.

Looking for this Thursday @ 8:30 pm Mountain Time - the kids go to bed at 8, but normally require some "persuasion" for about 30 minutes

No promises, but I'll do what I can.
