I know what these drop off of, but I have no idea how to get to them, My G/F bard can track them from zone intwards the SE we went down to the cells near enforcers...... i am familar with the enforcer area, and the areas around the port to Trials.... Do you have to do something special to get access to this area or could some one point me in the right direction if I can get a clue I should be able to find them. Thanks

It's a secret passage, there is a threat dwarf that is in the room that protects it, he gives faction hits so i tend to just root/mem blur him after we have gone past. You need to click on the wall behind him in the middle of the room to open it.
There are pop maps of PoJ that show the cave system, took a group down there and i seriously suggest you bring crowd control as they tend to agro through the thin walls and bring anything in there way to you.Adwene Holyhands

The dorf doesnt see invis, so thats how I get past him.'
Careful stuff in the tunnel runs when its low life, and the dorf will chain agro onto you.

I made a pair of these rings over the holidays. It took me over a week of solid farming to get all the eyes. I got a bunch of extra stones, but that might be because I was solo, and sometimes I wasn't able to clear all the bugs every cycle.
As a solo lvl 64 enchanter, the two graloks at the entrance make good charmable pets. They can dual wield, and with haste they tear through stuff. Charm breaks can be pretty scary, though. I would not recommend trying to solo this, if you value your sanity.
There are two sets of bugs, both are to the right from the entrance. After the two galoks at the entrance, there are four worms in the twisty hall, and they're close enough to chain agro if you don't lull them. I have holgresh elder beads, but you can do the same thing with bind sight. After the worms, there's an intersection. Go right, and you'll run into the first beetle. Another right, and there's a second beetle, followed by a room with three beetles. The center beetle in the room can be a rare spawn "diamond scarab" that drops some fairly nice items, but be careful, it's casts some really nasty dots.
If you go straight at the second intersection instead of right towards the room, there's a zig-zag tunnel with several worms. After that is the second set of bugs. If you have a group, the best place to set up camp is probably the middle of the zig-zag tunnel. You'll be able to pull both sets of bugs and plenty of worms without having to bother with any of the graloks or other stuff.
Make sure you bring someone who can evac. Until you learn the pulls, and know which mobs to lull when, you're going to train yourself a lot. And this is not something that can be dealt with, stuff agroes through walls, and you can end up with a dozen mobs on top of you. Make sure you bring a cleric too, so he can rez you after you wipe. =)

I learned that even without invis, at Lvl 60 I can usually just run fast past the dwarf and not get aggroed. But if he does aggro he is easy to kill, and the way the factions seem to work there, stuff on either creatures or prisoners, it shouldnt be too hard to learn whats what and balance the faction hits out.Khabok Khabonk

Invis used to work find, but that was actually a bug, he's a ghost after all. Now invis versus undead works fine. Im not convinced that the amount of time it takes to farm the components for these things is worth it. I've made about 3 rings, and failed a 4th, and that's with a ton of time down there.

It's definitely not worth the time. I made two rings out of four attempts. I gave one away as a gift, and the other I sold for 35k. Even at that price, I'm not intending to go back there again.

I agree that the aggro situation down there is just wrong but I made two rings and sold em for 35k each in 10 minutes in the bazaar, and the named drop some nice stuff. Yes it's a royal PITA down there but now that the valor ring market is going downhill where else can ya get 35k for an item you can farm in a few hours? All depends if you have the right group and the patience.

These rings are SOOOOOOO not worth the effort if youre looking to earn platinum.
I wanted one for my "wis kit" (I am a warrior after all hehe), and after spending a deal of time there and not yeilding enough combine parts..I gave up for a little while.
A few days after that found one in the bazaar for 25k....
Since I had made a small fortune off of valor rings, that was a no brainerFeoni [Ytrilynth's Horde]
