High Lords will host Thunder Peak and Deathwyrm teaching raids on Saturday, Jan 27

[Vooduspyce]

Our last teaching raid Defiler of the Just was a smooth, fun run with 4 DDO'ers who were all learning the raid for the first time. You can read about it and watch the live stream here.

Next in our teaching raid series will be a double feature in Thunderholme with Fire on Thunder Peak and Temple of the Deathwyrm on Saturday, January 27 at 9pm EST!

There are a lot of players who don't raid for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's because they are shy or intimidated by raids. Learning new content with strangers can feel overwhelming. Our teaching raids are designed to be friendly and low stress. We often do our teaching raids on lower difficulties so that we can focus on learning raid mechanics and not worry about trying to stay alive. I always make sure to bring along several guildies to help make it a smooth run and so that the new folks don't have to be concerned about filling critical roles or feeling like success or failure of the raid rests on their shoulders. Learning raids is a great way to experience more of the game that we love and to see how so many of DDO's storylines culminate to their conclusions. If you've been shy about joining our teaching raids, or if you feel intimidated by raids, I hope you will consider joining us for some of our events this year

All events in this series are for players new(er) to the raiding scene or players who 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 but you must be at least level 20 to enter epic content. There are not heroic versions of these raids.

If you are new to FTP and TOTD, you will need to flag by slaying two red named bosses in The Ruins of Thunderholme wilderness area. You will need to have access to the Shadow Under Thunderholme adventure pack. Slaying Dagan The Death Knight will flag you for FTP and slaying Sarva Ballistrae The Cult of the Dragon Emissary will flag you for TOTD.

Dagan and Sarva are a little tougher than ordinary slayer zone bosses but are both soloable. They are considered rare encounters but are always there. You can find a map with pathways to these bosses at the above Ruins of Thunderholme link, or you can check out my video How to Get to and Flag for Fire on Thunder Peak and Temple of the Deathwyrm Raids.

You will find the entrance to the ruins through The Thunder Peaks public zone, which is accessible across the bridge in northeast Eveningstar. Before heading into the slayer zone, talk to the 2 NPC quest givers in Thunder Peaks, then talk to them again after defeating the bosses and they will grant you the raids.

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.
This event will be live streamed on my Youtube channel.

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

Much love,
Gingerspyce and The High Lords of Malkier

Good times! We had 3 people who were new to or still learning Fire on Thunder Peak and Temple of the Deathwyrm. We started with Deathwyrm, which is a pretty large and intricate raid, which can feel overwhelming to new folks. We just did epic hard so we could focus on learning the various parts of the raid without stressing about survival. Fire on Thunderpeak is a much simpler raid and since TOTD went so smoothly on EH we decided to tackle FTP on epic elite! It was a lot of fun and you can watch the live stream below if you missed...





Our next teaching raid will be Caught in the Web on Saturday, February 3rd at 9pm EST. Event details are posted here
