High Lords will host Tower of Despair teaching raid on Saturday, May 16 at 9pm EST

[Vooduspyce]

Last Saturday's FTP and TOTD teaching raids were smooth and fun runs! We had a few people that were new to our teaching raids and a few more returning players. CLICK HERE to read about it and watch the video!

The next raid in our series will be Tower of Despair on Saturday, May 16 at 9pm EST.

All events in this series are for players new(er) to the raiding scene or players that are looking to learn raids better. First timers welcome! Dbags not welcome. Please have sound and be willing and able to follow instructions.

The goal is to welcome newer players into the raiding scene, to teach people how raids work, to get players more comfortable with raids and to enhance the Sarlona community. There is no level cap for any of our teaching raids.

If you are new to TOD, you will need to be flagged by running 4 quests in Amrath: Genesis Point, Sins of Attrition, A New Invasion and Bastion of Power. You will need access to The Devils of Shavarath adventure pack.

New players may find some of my videos helpful in flagging:

Devil Battlefield - A Tour of all Explorers, Rares and Quest Entrances
Solo Elite Sins of Attrition
How to Solo Elite Genesis Point
How to Solo the New Invasion End Fight

You will also want to acquire Boots of Anchoring prior to the raid. Boots of Anchoring prevent you from being banished out of the plane of Shavarath and out of the raid. The final boss Horoth can cast Banishment, and if you don't have some way to absorb spells, you will be teleported out of the raid faster than you can say "why am I suddenly in the marketplace?" If you get banished, you will not be able to re-enter the raid and get loot. You can acquire Boots of Anchoring by trading 1 each of the following ingredients Devil's Keepsake, Pure Shavarath Iron, Demon's Blood and Mysterious Artifact to the Planescaller Liella d'Orien in Amrath. If you cannot acquire Boots of Anchoring before the raid, we have some leftover ingredients that were donated from last year's TOD event.

Space is limited so reserve your spot ahead of time! If you would like to reserve a space in this Saturday's event, please contact me in game on Gingerspyce.

Thanks for all the support and special thanks to DDOCast and DDO Chronicle for mentioning our events. We hope to see you in raids soon!

Love,
Gingerspyce and The High Lords of Malkier

PS. All are welcome to attend our Tuesday Night Abbotfest (heroic) and our Friday Night Mark of Deathfest. These events aren't as formal as our teaching raids but we are happy to explain how the raid works to new players.

Low enrollment tonight, but we had a first timer to the raid so we went ahead and did it shorthanded with just 8 of us. Nice smooth run! Thanks for coming e1
