Teach me how to do this quest/raid!

[Calebro]

Are you tired of following along as other people do all the work while you learn nothing?
Is there some quest or raid that you want to learn how to do properly, but have never had the chance?
Examples: VoN5, Tempest Spine, Twilight Forge, newbies to Shroud, random confusing quest #7

If so, speak up. We'll find a time to set up a training wheels run so that you can actually learn what the heck is going on while those 3 people run off and complete the entire quest for you. Maybe next time you can be one of those people. Maybe a handful of times after that you can teach someone else.

First things first, check out Spyderwolf's Video Library of Quests and see if it helps you. Mad props to Spyderwolf for all his hard work on those. If after watching the video you still have questions, we'll set up a time to run you through it. And if you want to learn a quest that I have no knowledge of....then either someone else will teach you or I will learn it first. I won't guarantee that it will happen fast, but we'll get to all of the requests eventually.

Students: When asking for a lesson, post your toon's name and class here with the name of the quest you want to learn and an approximate day/time you'd like to learn it. Please allow at least one week to schedule.
If I cannot be available for that day/time, then we'll find someone else willing to teach you.

Teachers: If you'd like to volunteer your services, please post here and keep an eye out for requests that you'd be able to fill.
If you agree to lead a training run, post here and start a sign-up for it that will be linked in this post.



And don't you Euros worry, we'll get some [more] runs in for you eventually.

[learst]

Oh, I have a huge list. From the top of my head:

1. Twilight Forge -never run.
2. Tomb of the Tormented
3. Hawyire's Foundry (the part where some guy goes activate something past the fire traps.. or something).
4. Crucible maze.
5. Shroud pt 2, 3 (not the puzzle itself, but what is happening during that time?)
6. Reaver's fate - someone has to fly up and flick a switch?
7. Monastery of the Scorpion (the puzzles and some anti-gravity thing)
8. Von 5 and 6: what is happening??

That's all for now.

[Calebro]

Awesome. Glad to see some initiative.
I'll go on a point by point basis here.

Oh, I have a huge list. From the top of my head:

1. Twilight Forge -never run. Piece of cake. In order to actually teach you all 4 puzzles we have 2 options:
a. 4 separate runs, with you following once on each side.
b. 2 separate runs, both shortman'ed with 6 people.
2. Tomb of the Tormented I KNEW someone was going to call me out on this one.... This quest has the most fitting name of any in the game. We'll have to drop this one down on the list so I can learn it first, which will be a nightmare.
3. Hawyire's Foundry (the part where some guy goes activate something past the fire traps.. or something). Piece of cake. It'll take all of 5 minutes to show you this.
4. Crucible maze. Easy once you know it.
5. Shroud pt 2, 3 (not the puzzle itself, but what is happening during that time?) Unless I'm misunderstanding the question, then nothing is happening. But we'll schedule a training wheels run through Shroud just in case.
6. Reaver's fate - someone has to fly up and flick a switch? Piece of cake. Bring someone with HP.
7. Monastery of the Scorpion (the puzzles and some anti-gravity thing) That puzzle is simple once you understand it. When we're done, you'll understand it.
8. Von 5 and 6: what is happening?? Similar to Twilight Forge insomuch as we'll need multiple runs if you want to see it all.

That's all for now.

Which one do you want to learn first, and when are you usually on?

Thanks a lot for the response. I only have 1 toon on Khyber (lvl 17 ranger tempest). It's untwinked and non-TRed. So it's kinda gimped. ;P


On weekdays I play around 9.30 -11.30 am EMT(?) (not that familiar with US timezones, and I'm living on the other side of the globe). On weekends I'm a bit more flexible, though I'm a bit busy this entire week and may not be able to play at all.

I don't have any preference on which to start first, though the Titan Raid would be nice. And the Shroud question, I actually meant what is happening in Pt 3 after you solve the puzzle? I see folks running around and saying, "which one not purified" and the DM voice says something like that as well.

[anemephistus]

Alright, I have a 20th lvl sorcerer and what I need more than anything else right now is a pair of seven fingered gloves. However the Titan raid is mostly refered to as "dead" anymore and I can't find anyone with the old and archaic knowlege of how this raid is done.

I have searched the wiki and I have found a description but that is no substitute for a guide. I play on Tuesdays mostly, unless you are a very late night kind of person. I Will go and flag for this quest and will be ready by next tuesday, send me a pm here on the forums and we can figure out when we can do this.

Thank you for your effort to help the knowlege base, if we don't try teach others then we can't complain about their ignorance, and this is Khyber... We really love to complain.

I write my own schedule, so barring events that I absolutely have to be present for, I can accommodate anything needed as long as I have a little notice.

In the rooms with the puzzles, there are empty fountains. These are the basins with a statue of a head above them off to the side or against the back wall.
You know the two underwater chests?
Above the water at the top of the ramp is another statue head.
Once the puzzle is complete, and only once the puzzle is complete, climb the ramp and click on the statue head above the chests. This will give you a vial of pure water.
Take that vial to a completed puzzle and click on the statue head above the empty basin.
This is called "running water."
Doing so will purify said fountain.
Once all the puzzles are completed the extra chests become available. Once all fountains are purified part 3 is complete.

Tuesday is perfect.
I often lead a Titan on Tuesday nights at approximately 9 pm central time [GMT -6], although I have been slacking in that lately.
I will make certain to run one this coming Tuesday. Both of you have spots saved for it if you're both available.
PM me your toon's name or post it here.
We'll do the opposing side the following Tuesday.

[Jay203]

i really don't mind teaching the Tormented at all
assuming i get around back in game >_>

[Calebro]

OP updated with the following:

Students: When asking for a lesson, post your toon's name here with the name of the quest you want to learn and an approximate day/time you'd like to learn it. Please allow adequate time to schedule. No "tomorrow at 4pm" please, because that may be difficult to arrange so quickly.
If I cannot be available for that day/time, then we'll find someone else willing to teach you.

Teachers: If you'd like to volunteer your services, please post here and keep an eye out for requests that you'd be able to fill.

[sephiroth1084]

1. Protect Baudry's Interests
2. that one in the Harbor with the spiders (I keep failing before I can get Ransack)
3. Finding the Path (not the quest, just why that rusty never goes after that big metal-looking guy, even when I'm not carrying anything metal)
4. Kobold Assault

[Calebro]

Titan training
Tuesday February 22, and Tuesday March 1
9 pm central [GMT -6]
If we get a bit of interest from students for this, then multiple teachers would be nice for when we have to split.

1. Calebro [Callybrus - FvS] - teacher
2. anemephistus [toon TBD, Lenthrael - Sorc ?]
3. learst [Kylenor - Ranger, might be working]
4. Scortius [Ebberley - Rogue]
5. Happosaai [Fullmental - Wiz]
6. Iwinbyrollup [Carinn - Cleric]

*** If we get more interest than that, I'd like to ask for a second teacher for the opposing side. I'm just running this with 6 to make training easier, so I may or may not fill the second half of this party at my discretion. Anyone listed from 7-12 will be considered alternates at the moment.
7. ............... - teacher
8. Rydin_Dirtay [Greenberry - Ranger]
9. SirenVisigoth [Ittybitty - Monk]
10. -unknown- [Firaga - Barb]
11.
12.

For Titan, everyone needs:
1} an underwater action item or a handful of water breathing potions
2} a ranged weapon of some sort if primarily a melee.

***As no one has offered to teach the opposing side, we'll be running as a 6 man group. The first 6 names listed get priority. If any of them can't make it, choice will go down the line progressively until we have 6.
Anyone that doesn't get in will have a spot saved on the next set by default.

I'll try to make that to finally learn the green side puzzle.

[Zogdor]

I've run Coalescence Chamber about 5 times and I'm still embarrassed when I have to put up an LFM asking for a guide. I don't mind the quest, unlike a lot of people, so I'd appreciate it if someone could take me through it and explain which door we have to go through and when for example.

I'd like to do it on Zogdor (15 rogue/ 2 barb). Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays are best at any time (although my time zone is GMT+1). I'd also like to learn the green side puzzle and how to do bottom buns on Titan, but won't be able to make it this time around, as it's at 4 AM my time :s

If green is all you want to learn, I can show you the way that I do it any time.

Coal is fairly straight forward. It's a pain in the Johnson, but it's fairly straight forward.
Check out Spyderwolf's Video Library of Quests here first and see if that helps you. If not, come back here and we'll walk you through it personally.

OP edited to reflect this.

[Miahoo]

I would sign up just to have the honor to run with u!
Too bad I don't have (yet) a toon high enough on khyber.

Keep up the good work!

[sephiroth1084]

Yup. Okay.

I know Yellow kinda, and there's nothing to blue. Red I used to know well, and can figure it out after a bit I'm sure. Never learned green.

[learst]

Hi,

Thanks Calebro for putting this together. Yup, I think I can make it on Tuesday, if all goes well. I think I can afford that morning off, but my Internet line's a bit wonky since yesterday so I hope I don't have any connection problems next tuesday.

My toon is Kylenor (ranger lvl 17, gimped). Flagged for both Titan and Von.

Actually I don't mind running any quest that is put up here, even the ones I didn't list - it's always nice to take a tutorial walk through one. Unless it's filled up with other students who needs to learn it more.

[Kahath]

2. Tomb of the Tormented I KNEW someone was going to call me out on this one.... This quest has the most fitting name of any in the game. We'll have to drop this one down on the list so I can learn it first, which will be a nightmare.

No it won't: Maze #1, Maze #2 and Maze #3. Bring a rogue (traps), and a bard (buff the rat) or perhaps someone with 6 ranger levels (wild empathy for enemy mobs in maze) and it's a breeze. I usually complete it around ~30 minutes.

[Terebinthia]

Props to the OP for organising this. Shame it's at 3 am for me

So do other AOEs affect the rats, or just bard songs?
