Subject: Grieg's End


We really like Grieg's End but it's not for everyone. It's one big, huge
maze of a castle: hallways, courtyards, and rooms. A number of the mobs are
triggered, which makes them hard/impossible to split. The weird thing is the
mobs proc a spell on the players that turns you into a random mob. No stat
changes that we've seen, you just look different. All the mobs look
different to every player too so you can't say 'I'm on the zombie thing!',
'cause each person in your group sees a different mob. If you've got folks
that need a crash course on assisting a main tank, this is the zone! We've
gotten some nifty odd drops in this zone, warrior helm with +25% taunt,
stone with +10% alchemy. We've crawled thru it a couple times, found Grieg
himself but lacked the strength to kill him. We did kill the Servitor of
Luclin and a couple other nameds. This zone seems to be designed for a
crawl, not as much setup and camp. We've done both though and I found the
exp there to move in 59, that means it was pretty good. Grieg's has 2
entrances: from Dawnshroud where most of my tracking sees green and some
blues at 59 and from Scarlet Desert where tracking shows all blue.
Maiden's Eye is cool, I like killing Xin's and especially the 4 armed purple
things. The exp there is really good. Umbrial is pretty neat, just went
there Tuesday night and got some decent armor drops. We've had a lot of fun
killing vamps in Tenebrous Mtns, too.
I probably was afk in Shar Vahl, I spent time last week running multiple
toons and doing the Rallic pack quest multiple times. Great pack, easy
quest: http://www.eqtraders.com/quests/luclin_rallicpack.htm
Speaking of quests, my wiz finished her 7th Coldain Shawl the day Luclin
came out! I spent A lot of time doing tradeskills with her last fall. I
can't wait to see what heinous things the 8th and 9th shawls will require.
