I have 2 missing areas to vanquish in Elona and will finish with it once and for all when we vanquish Joko's Domain and Poisonous Outcrops. Last night me, Thal and Lee decided that Sunday 16th March is a nice day for the deed  We want to welcome all the scouts that want to participate. Trip is starting on 16th March 7pm GMT. Until then - keep the Scout's spirit up |

Hiya
I am not surprised that these two areas are the last ones you need to vanquish. They are pretty hard to do with the undead rezzing themselves all the time.
I do have a suggestion: Take a 'Smite' Monk to tank the undead. You will find it much easier that way.
Good luck
regards
Dana

Thanks for the advice Dana. But with our current lack of monks (except Ano) it will be somewhat hard to use a smithing tank as we only could use a hero... I hope Thal will get Frozen Soil |

Seems I've an odd habit of vanquishing only the hardest areas, despite not really caring about the title. (Ashadim, etc) I think it took over 3 hours with just Bone and I.
Might be able to come, but my Saturday schedule is still up in the air.

I will try to come. I need those areas and am tired of dying with heros/henchs. I think it'll be less frustrating dying with real people. LoL. I need a couple of other places to vanquish in elona as well.

I would like to tag alone if you don't mind? I do however have a Monk but I'm not sure if she that far. If she is then maybe Dana could give me a smiting monk build and what weapon to use I could give it a try! Or perhaps Anomander would like to do that instead and I could just be a healing monk. He is a man and women should not be tanks....  right???Anyhow this Sunday should be open unless it's a nice beach day....  [glow=pink,4,300]Angel............  [/glow] |

Well, if you need a monk along, just gimme a shout if I'm online!
I'm always more than happy to help out a Scout in need, so feel free to give me a yell and reclaim my services.

Outcrops weren't so bad... Joko's on the other hand.. UGH.
the Paragon boss and his surrounding mob gave me so many headaches. It will be a pleasure to smack him down (again) something fierce.
Course.... after vanquishing these two areas, I might hijack some folks to help with my guardian by finishing off Gates of Madness, Moddock Crevase, and Kodonur Crossroads.

Good to see a couple of monks volunteering because I won't be able to attend. By that time I'll be driving back home from friends for almost 2 hours. Enjoy and may the Monk Tank be fitted with proper armor to last long enough; perhaps some bonds from another monk?
Good luck!

Hey, do I look stupid?  I don't tank in person but rather cast my spells on a volunteer ;D Would have to look up a build unless I go with my usual prot/smite. As I remember there were nasty mesmers with interrupt and humility around; as well as ranger giants with choking gas and debilitating shot. That tends to kill a casting tank pretty fast IMO... My standard build uses Balthazar's Aura (preferably on a CC minion or a pet because then NPCs ignore it) and Signet of Judgement, +some other smite + prot spells; with 15/11/11 smite/prot/devine and +20% enchanting. Shield of Judgement were possible too, I think there's no enchant removal there. |

Smiting monk?? *perks up ears* I try to get on in time with Asuno, so rare she may follow her real calling... I would start brushing your Smite Monking up then. They are all the rage nowadays. Its very rare NOT to see one these days in Eye of the North, mostly at Doomlore Shrine. Cathedral of Flames is the main Smiter Monk hangout as they charge between 2k and 2.5k a HM run. This is one of the few runs in Guild Wars where even the customer (runnee) makes a profit after the price has been paid - upwards of 4k ish. regards Dana |

And scarily enough... one of the most gold filled drops I've ever been on. I don't think anyone left the map with anything but an overflowing storage!

Aye, I didn't even manage to salvage all the whites I came across in that run to cram the storage full. A profitable run! Lookie, Thal even got a fantastic screenie as a memento. ;D  |
