Sylly? Are we talking about Cazic-Thule? The place with all the green
lizard guys? Where rubicite used to drop?
The only thing in there that sees invis is the gators (wtf?) and probably
the Avatar. There ain't no lizards what see invis. I've walked right up to
the throne with Tae Ew Templar sittin' on top and just stood there while
invised when they were black/white to me. Now maybe this has *changed* at
some point, but CT has always worked that way for me. I zone in, get a soft
mist to surround me and then jog through the maze and up to the top of the
temple. I do this all the time, bumping into Heralds, Judicators,
Justicars, etc. all the way up. They don't see me or I'd know about it.
And something that bears mentioning: Another thread has talked about how
relatively easy it is to get Shin Greaves and Gauntlets from Lower Guk at a
level too low to fight there, and that's true. However, those that haven't
been to Lower Guk need to be warned that invis doesn't work against the
frogs down there, it only lets you get there through Upper Guk safely. I
just wanted that to be clear.
