Our last teaching raid Riding the Storm saw outstanding turnout of 8 attendees who were new to or still learning the raid. RSO can be a challenging raid, but with a little preparation and organization, we showed that this can be a very smooth raid. You can watch the replay of the live stream on my twitch channel vooduspyce.

RSO was the first installment of the 2-part Kor Kaza storyline so next in our teaching raid series will be the sequel to RSO, Killing Time on Saturday, May 22 at noon ET!

All events in this series are for players new(er) to raiding or players who are looking to learn raids better. First timers 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 28 to enter Killing Time. 1000+ hit points recommended.

If you are new to Killing Time, there is no flagging required! You will need to have access to the Dragonblood Prophecy adventure pack.
There are a few things you should do to prepare for the raid:

1. You must have Feather Fall. There are many long jumps in this raid that are impossible to make without Feather Fall. If you cannot fit a feather fall item into your gear set, you can use a level 4 augment Topaz of Feather fall, which can be purchased from Lahar, the epic vendor in The Twelve for 20 Tokens of the Twelve or from collectables traders Kipling Vranch or Peta Flashpin in the Market for 8 astral shards. For more about purchasable augments check out the DDOwiki article here.

2. You must bring Potions of Remove Curse

3. You must have electrical damage absorption. The blue dracolich boss hits hard with electrical attacks. To mitigate the electrical damage, you can use abilities like Energy Sheathe (electric version), which you can twist from Draconic Incarnation. Or you can use a 4-piece sentient weapon Electrocution filigree set for a permanent electric Energy Sheath effect. You can also use electrical absorption items, which are helpful to have in addition to Energy Sheath. You can craft absorption items using Cannith Crafting or you can find randomly generated items with the descriptors "Electricity Absorption" or "Insulated". You can also use named items such as Ring of the Djinn, Prismatic Cloak or Legendary Ring of Flickering Steel. A list of named electric absorption items can be found on DDOwiki here.

Space is limited so reserve your spot ahead of time! If you would like to reserve a space in this Saturday's event, please send a tell or in-game mail to Voodu.

This event will be live streamed on my Twitch channel vooduspyce so even if you're not on Sarlona, you can watch, learn and ask questions live. We will also be simulcasting the event on up to 3 additional Twitch channels, so that viewers can see moments when the party splits or from tank point of view, etc. This week's event will be simulcast by my guildie Gijo on his Twitch channel highlordpudding, Littlemama on her new Twitch channel mysticdragon_littlemama and my guildie Cmecu’s channel cmecu_grogerian. You can watch all streams at the same time at multitwitch.tv/vooduspyce/cmecu_grogerian/highlordpudding/mysticdragon_littlemama.

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,
Voodu and The High Lords of Malkier
