Sylly,

I have almost lived in Unrest from levels 14-24. Yes this place can be
exciting, but it can be quite tedious at times. As bard there are
actually very few items that you will really want in here. Mostly the BS
mantl and BS Tunic unless you are a wood elf, then small bronze looks
quite attractive. After many successful and unsuccessful campaigns in
Unrest I have found that the following group make up provides the
greatest balance while holding a room.

I find that
2 tanks (warrior, monk, ranger, paladin, shadowknight)
1 bard
2 cleric
1 DD caster

Whenever I get a group like this holding a room like the Ghoul Magi room,
Hand room or the Barrom is quite easy. Once you get your level 23 things
get better because you are able to stop the runners if you have no ranger
or Druid. Hope you have fun in there =).
