Group Seals for Cultural?

[Telorea]

Gold golems at 80 ... <shudder> ....

The Gold Golems really aren't that difficult - they are certainly miles easier than the mobs needed for the previous symbol-book task.

The *only* hard bit about the Gold Golems is reaching the camp spot alive - after that it may be boring and take a little time but it is really pretty easy.

I was able to do a fair chunk of my Gold Golem kills by boxing a shammy & wizzie with T5 mercs to tank and heal. I only recently came back to EQ after 18 months off so my gear was nowhere near high-end, the shammy had a mixture of cultural with soltaris seals with some OMM group-chest drops, the wizzie had much worse gear except for a few OMM group-chest drops.

I dunno, my cleric used to able to solo the mobs for the previous aug quest, heh. It took a long long time but they were for sure solo'able!

85 with T5 mercs? No problem. With a full group of 80s who haven't been gimped through Murdunk, or 'or high 70s'? I'd say a tad more challenging.

Sublime quest was pretty easy with SK, shammy and necro (no mercs) at 80,only hard (read: time consuming)part spawning the reavers. I'd be a lot less enthusiatsic about doing gold golems at 80 with that group. But YMMV.

I will think about it. It is just that there is stuff that is not as good as this that requires level 85... it seems wrong to have this have a lesser requirement.

Thank you SOOOO MUCH for making the Soloist Seals req 81. I'm sure you made alot of snail-pace levelers like me happy .

I just crafted myself some sleeves last night, and had a potter friend make the seal for me a few days ago. Went home for lunch today after the patch and banged the two of them together in the bird bath until they stuck. Thanks Ngreth! Now I just need to find someone to make me a symbol since I can't get the symbol quest at 81. Still, 2 outta 3 ain't bad.

What server are you on? There are a lot of people that have completed the quest that may be willing and able to help you out with a symbol combine or 2 if you have the parts.

I'm on Luclin, and I am working with someone to make me the symbols. We've just had some issues with actually being on at the same time. Still, he does seem to be one of only two people actually selling symbols in the bazaar. I suspect there are more than that on the server who have done the quest and are just making them for themselves, guildies, and on request only. They're so expensive to make that if you have limited supplies I can see not wanting to make them without a buyer already in mind. Creating a large stock of them to sell is just not feasible for many.
