Q's on CT and Tunarean Soldier Armor

[Nimphe Wildwood]

Is it possible for a 65 Druid to solo in CT for Flawless Tae Ew Hides and Tae Ew Blood? I know the drop rate is insane, but seeing as I have nearly spent 200k on Tailoring my objective would be to re-coup back the plat I've spent.

My other question is, (and I know this is going to differ from server-to-server) which Tunarean Soldier Armor sells the most? Again, same reasoning as above.

Thanks all.

No

No

Nimphe,

I'm wearing the Tunare Sleeves, if that's helps. I think the bracers are pretty darn nice. Maybe the belt or pants next.

Entrance mobs in CT are.. shall we say.. unkind.

The melee ones, the 2 guarding the door, take roughly 8 mins to kill, each... with 1 melee on them. They hit in the 210 area, double. A trio, healer, melee, slower, can do them... very slowly.

The first pull is 2. A full group can split them, but cc is recomended. he second pull is 2, or 3... sometimes rarely (thanks pathing) 5. With 3, cc is a must.. or the zoneline is near. 5.. just zone.

The casters are of a couple varieties, but share one important feature... they have endless mana. You've heard that before about all other mobs, but mobs do have a limit... they just regen if fast when not in combat. These, don't have a limit. For the full length of a fight, i've tot'd, and mana seived one, on top of torment.. he was chain casting to the end. I spent a full bar of mana at 60 draining his mana, and didn't make a dent in his mana pool.

They also cast exceptionally nasty ae's.... except the necros, their only ae seems to be a slow that more than negates epic haste. The necros do like to dot however... how novel. If you have dueled a level 55 necro, add half again the damage that you took then.. and that's their dots... not to mention them meleeing for in the 160 range.

On the bright side, they have increased the blood drop rate.. although i've yet to see a hide, scale, or ichor....

You can trio it with a paladin and shaman
Let pally pull, shaman slows, you patch heal and use winters storm and you can kill things in about 1 min no problem
Also, if you can get a SK in there also it is even faster

Woohoo!

Heya, Nimphe. I've been selling Tunarean and also been trying to get CT stuff to make also. The CT stuff is a pain in the ass to get. Still havent' gotten a flawless Tae Ew hide, nor have I gone to kill the spiders. It's just so hard to motivate people to go there.

Really to go far you want the following:

1. Good tank
2. CC person! Adds can come quickly anywhere in CT.
3. Slower a plus.
4. Spot healer - AoE DoT's/curses are common. Radiant Cure would do wonders in CT.

You can stay at the entrance if all you want is bloods. I've had no hide drops in entrance. You will also have to fight for the bloods with the people who want Chain Tunic/Leggings and Tae Ew Shield.

As for Tunarean, I sell the following piece the most often on Saryrn:

1. Tunarean Soldier Leggings
2. Tunarean Soldier Belt
3. Tunarean Soldier Arms

Scout stuff hardly sells for me (havent' sold a piece in maybe 3 weeks). But Soldier is slow but steady. I've also sold maybe 3 or 4 Tunics in the last month.

You'll have to find the more casual player or the alt of a player who doesn't want to spend the time in UP or ToV. Not many...but they are around.

p.s. Grats again on your trophy! Woohoo! *hugs*

Went and grouped with a guildie of mine. He was two-boxing a Bst and Cleric. Managed to pick up 12 vials of blood. Was fun being back in CT; exp is umm ahhh okay hehe.

Now correct me if I am wrong, but don't the brown lizards drop the Flawless or do any of them have the chance?

Thanks for the info on the Tunarean. I'm starting to get hang of things on my Server.

Me (65 druid) and friend (65 rogue) can duo the front two guards and maybe two or three mobs from courtyard depending on if casters are up or not. We're basically averagely equipped me = 2500hps/4k mana and he 4k hps both unbuffed. These front mobs only drop bloods. The reason you can't solo them is they summon. I have never actually seen a flawless hide drop. I hear they only drop off of the brown lizards though, mostly in the 4c area.

I like the sleeves and legs of the scout armor best, but don't have them yet. Those are also about the only slots left with no focus effects atm.
Don't really know what's most popular though.
