High Lords will host epic Vault of Night teaching raid on Saturday, Jan 22 at 1pm ET

[Vooduspyce]

Last week we had an awesome turnout for our Thunderholme teaching raids, with 10 signups who were new to or still learning Temple of the Deathwyrm and Fire on Thunder Peak. This week we hope to see even more newcomers for one of DDO’s greatest classics.

Next in our series of teaching raids will be epic Vault of Night and Plane of Night (aka EV5-6) on Saturday, January 22 at 1pm 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 20 to enter epic content.

If you are new to EV5-6, you will need to flag by running the first 4 quests in the Vault of Night story arc (VON1-4) in House Kundarak: Tharashk Arena, The Prisoner, Jungle of Khyber and Haywire Foundry. You will need to have access to the Vault of Night adventure pack. You can run the flagging quests on heroic or epic to flag just the same.

EV6 contains some remarkable loot, including one of the most sought after 2-handed weapons in the game (the Sword of Shadow) and Kundarak Delving Boots, which is the lowest level item that provides a continuous Freedom of Movement effect. It also contains the Disciplinator rune arm and the epic Helm of the Red Dragon, which is prized for its unique cosmetic. Additionally, all heroic and epic VON5-6 loot was recently revamped, with easy to craft epic versions and new legendary versions! Despite being DDO's oldest raid, VON5-6 is a very important raid in DDO's lineup because it gives huge xp so it remains very popular in both heroic and epics.

The Vault of Night is a very intricate raid, with many puzzles and tasks to perform, so can be very difficult to learn it all in a pug. We will break down the entire raid and show and explain how to succeed every step of the way.

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 in-game mail or tell to me on Voodu.

This event will be live streamed on DDO’s Twitch channel DDOstream so even if you're not on Sarlona, you can watch, learn and ask questions live. This year we are simulcasting our teaching raids on multiple Twitch channels so that viewers can see moments when the part splits or from tank point of view, etc. This week's event will be simulcasted by my guildie Gijo on his Twitch channel twitch.tv/highlordpudding. You can watch both streams at the same time at multitwitch.tv/ddostream/highlordpudding.

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

I'll hit you up in game... looking forward to getting on this, I can count the number of raids I've done on one hand, the first being the original VoN. I need to change my forum name also, apparently.

We had great turnout for our epic VON 5-6 teaching raid with 7 attendees there to learn the raid and 4 of them being first timers! Big thanks to my guildies for helping and special thanks to Gijo for simulcasting the trapper POV and teaching the trapping portion. You can watch the replay of the live stream on DDOstream at Good Morning Coffee and Chat with Voodu :-) [1pm ET: Epic VON 5-6 teaching raid].

Next week's teaching raid will be Feywild's Dryad and the Demigod! There's no flagging and I'll post details in the Sarlona forum soon
