*dont remember what ive got done so far,I probably stoped for a reason,lol*

It's a little gear dependant, but you -can- solo everything except the Slime Blood and the Black Silk Cape pretty much. Depending on the help available, a group or 2 can do both of those easy (mostly it's just a matter of whether or not they'll drop).

I soloed the Slime Blood in the bazaar :)

I've been waiting for the slime blood for ages...

Ditto - I have everything else, but getting a raid on fear together before the uber crowd slaughter the zone and try to sell the loot to me is.. not easy.

Fear is not what is used to be.. raid wise.

I have broken Fear with me three boxing (pre Omens so 65) Nec, Clr, Enc + 58 War + 60ish Druid.

I have killed the non-DTing Golem with 6.. same Group a week later + a 58 Ranger.

The DTing Golems could totally be handled by 6-9 people if you had two tanks that zone quickly (ie: could be rezed, looted and back on aggro in under 30 seconds).

What does the Slime Blood sell for these days? (On FV, it's actually NODROP.. and it's the only part of my Epic I have.. *giggles*)

All this talk has me thinking how easily I could raid Sky.. NO.. I will remain sane!

[Xelgadis]

Slime Blood is something like 50-100k'ish or so on Luclin. But, yeah, getting that drop is about as annoying as getting the Soul Leech for SKs. Of course Murphy's Law kicked in; after clearing the golems and CT, god knows how many times (over the course of a year or so, since I was never in any huge rush to finish the 1.0), I had 3 drop last time I did a full Fear-clear with some friends... Course, at that point, I had no need for it anymore... figures.

Of course not. It's out of date, which is the only way a casual player like me gets an uncontested crack at it... and it's not out of date enough, becuase of the rare drops there. Instanced Fear/Hate/Sky would be nice, but I'm not expecting SOE to do it.

I have broken Fear with me three boxing

Again - casual player, family guild, no boxing here, and I'm doubtful I could break Fear solo... though I've been tempted to try.

I have killed the non-DTing Golem

Haven't caught the golems UP yet, which makes it hard to kill them.

What does the Slime Blood sell for these days?

No idea. Haven't seen it on Saryrn. Probably well out of my price range.

We do raid Sky, from time to time... A significant portion of our membership is keyed to island 5 to avoid corpse bridging, if that gives you any idea of how often we do it. I got all of the Sky drops in two Sky raids that were purely internal to my guild, each with 12-24 bazaar geared people.

Sorry.. I misunderstood. On my server, no one cares anymore. You can walk into any non-Gates (KT+), Omens, DoN zone and find most named up since the last server reboot.

My point was you and 5-10 family mates could do this.. not that I am a great boxer.

If you have that many keyed to the fifth island in Sky, you must be able to get that many together.. no?

I was trying to be encouraging.. that you could do it. :unsure:

If you could make 5-10K a week.. how many weeks to raise 50-100K?

I feel your pain.. last year trying to get Cachet's Fear drop (Shissar) we were checking Fear daily.. thinking we had it nailed.. and zoning in a cleared zone.

[Xislaben]

Ack crazy quoters! I'm not gonna try to quote all that.

I've yet to see slime blood in the baz period, let alone for some outrageously expensive price (i'd pay 40k at this point).

I got the eye of inny in the baz for a few k, no big deal. The sky drop wasn't a big deal either, though it doesn't drop every time (2/2 for me), in fact the waiting was the worst part after clearing everything on that island with a raid fo 30 or so. Just have to make sure you have semi-trained people and you know which mobs to kill and in what order.

Then when you kill the damn thing (had 2 dt's go off I think), you probably have to pull siran down as he spawns way above the ground. You can try a non-offensive spell and then fd, but he runs very very fast, so using your pet and fd'ing would be better. Park the pet near siran, run far far away,set pet to attack and fd as soon as siran moves towards ya.

As for fear, it sucks. The golems never drop the damn slime blood, and that's when they're up, and terror is almost always down or soon to be down by farmers. And though CT can drop it, you have to clear the damn zone for him, which nobody wants to spend 2 hours doing especially for a non-clr 1.0. It seems people just go there for AoN farming, which for some reason people still buy at 100k or more...

Maybe creating an alt on another server to buy and /movelog would be the way to go...

:angry:

Oh well, at least I've got oodles of keys taking up inventory space...

I 3 box a 70 NEC, 70 CLR and a 66 ENC . I was able to do all except the last isle in PoS and FEAR ... Have seen gloves once in bazaar on Tribunal for 40K but was not fast enough. On Trib, the mobs in FEAR are farmed quite regularly (AoN) and I have seen a monk solo the non-DT golem. CAn clear fear with 1 group easily and take on DT golems with around 8 (with multiple tanks--non uber geared people )

You can on Saryrn, too... until the farmers arrive. 5-10 of my folks might be able to bring down a DT golem... maybe. But trying to get the non-DT golem is like asking for rain in the Sahara. The farmers decend in droves - like I said, on our last trip up, there was a single 70 monk in the zone, plowing mobs under like a bulldozer and trying to sell us the item I'd come to hunt for.

Farmers suck.

My point was you and 5-10 family mates could do this.. not that I am a great boxer. If you have that many keyed to the fifth island in Sky, you must be able to get that many together.. no? I was trying to be encouraging.. that you could do it. :unsure:

Oh, we can do it... but being a family guild and trying to schedule a trip to fear, in advance, in order to get the turn out.... Well.. The farmers only have to ask themselves.

If you could make 5-10K a week.. how many weeks to raise 50-100K?

Clearly, I'm in the wrong game, the wrong zone, the wrong league... wrong something. I make about 1K a week, maybe 3K in a good week. Needless to say, buying the SBoCT is not going to happen soon.
