Guide - Chasing the Shield of Immaculate Light

1668073516421.png

The Shield of Immaculate Light is invaluable in raiding, and group content. Instant Cast Abolish DIsease - Awesome sauce.

The great news is - it is so easy to get now at lvl 120 - there is really no exscuse not to have it.

Where to start - Head to Tower of Rot and find Deidre Harath

She has a quest arc - so if you have never done any of her missions - then you just found the hardest part.
You need to do her progression and then she will give you the Raid.

Lord Kyle is standing there and is non agro so you can position yourself without Panic.

NOTE: The mesh is a little dodgy at the entrance and folks will get stuck. To get around this you can do a broadcast keypress Forward just a few times. Then the mesh is fine and they will come to your MA.

Just plonk everyone in the corner to start with:

Here we are Cluster in the Corner:

Now - here is the tricky bit.
We dont want to just slaughter him....No no no..that would be too easy

We need to Vanquish him. These three Achievements are necessary to Unlock the Shield from the Vendor.

The good news is - they are easy.

1. Royalty Free
GO SLOW at the start. I tank him with a No-Dam Weapon. Every few minutes he will spawn 4 ROYAL Adds. We need to Kill 30 of them.
So dont try and burn, and turn of the Cleric Nukes. You dont want to go heavy dps until you have killed 30 adds. Count them out - they come in groups of 4.

2. Imbalancing Act - Once he is down to about 70% he goes invuln. and he spawns his 3 advisors. Play like a moron for a few minutes until you are get the imbalance at least 4 times.

The 3 advisors need to be balanced - but its actually really hard to balance when a few hits will destroy these.
I turn AOE on and just keep switching. Eventually they will come down and you will finally be able to kill them.
Note: You cant just burn them - they go to 1% and then heal back to 100.

3. Uncharmed, I'm Sure
Just dont charm shit.

In Typical Fashion - He can also drop the Shield as part of his normal loot table:

If you pass all three Achievements - The shield will be available on the Raid Merchant in Ethernere Tainted West Karana. Requisitioner Chash. It costs 360 Bayle Marks

Thats it. Go get it on your entire army.

Yeah I think it would definitely be doable with one grp. This was a difficult raid back in the day - but super trivial now.

Thank you :)

I'm trying all the level 100 raids with one group, managed all of Tainted Karana, but got thumped to death in bixie hive by sheer numbers.
 
Bixie is hard, and all about control. Its not the hardest though - i think Neriak Third Gate: Hate rising is probably the worst for one group.
Oh and The Journey Home is the absolute worst - Its just chaos to try and box.
 
To speed up your farming for these for the entire army make sure you hit the other same tier raids to expedite the currency flow ;)

Actually, Neriak raid is easy. If you setup your group far enough away from where the phase 1 mobs spawn, they don't agro your group. This allows you to single pull the charm mobs and easily kill them without getting your whole group perma-charmed.

Nice guide thank you!
 
The pre-requisites for requesting the raid according to Allah:
1668199834762.png

I'm not certain if they relaxed these a bit - but you do need the Deidre Harath Story arc which is the first 6 or 7 of these.
 
Thanks! Yeah that relaxing of them was what I was unsure on. I'll try completing that arc and see if she will give me the raid. I was struggling with Pelzia's plot and haven't been able to do that one.
 
I'd done all of the group progression for her but she wouldn't give it, so looks like you still need the raids.

Not to derail this thread too much - but have yet to figure out Bixie with 1-box group. One tank == the Death Touch feels unavoidable.

Any tips?

But as I said, only tried it twice and still futzing with options.
 
I've never tried to one group it. But i think you really will need a second toon to at least stand there while they beat on you - or try a pet tank on one type of mob.
Its probably doable but difficult.

What toons are you working with?

SK, Mag, Ench, Brd, Rog, Sham

I assumed there'd need to be 2 tanking and was planning on using Mage Pet on one type, SK on another.

Your comment made me think there may be another way. Thank you. I'll work on that front.
 
Getting stuck on Hate Rising and Pelzia's Plot

I think I can get Hate Rising. I am thinking pull with Bard to camp far in the back. Pelzia's though going to have to try and be a chain casting chanter in that one while the SK and crew murders everyone.

Anyone have any one group advise? I am about to bust out another group just for the mechanics. Hate's Rising is just stupid with that perma mex...at least let it break after 5 minutes or something.
 
No advice on Pelzia

Hate Rising: i had to restart once i realized the perm mez. then just blast the mezzers right away and it was golden.
 
Hate Rising done, it was ugly as hell but managed it with two groups. I'm a terrible puller, but managed to split them a bit with the bard. Pulled them to the southern most door alcove murdered them there. I had a hotkey to override current target on a non tank caster. /dgze /tar banshee so if one popped it was immediately targeted by everyone. SK and Zerk still got charmed but got it done.

Not sure how the bees will go but that is for another day.
 
Well Pelzia's Plot done now as well. So the way I went about this was with 12 toons. Group one was TOB raid geared, Group 2 was enchanter TOB Raid with the rest between 125 and 115 with group gear.

Turns out I had an epiphany moment. I had been trying to do the wasps in the tunnel. Went to shite for the 4th or 5th time but I noticed my EM 32 pets just getting wailed on and taking it without any major issues.

So next time out ... I took a new tactic. Noting that the bees are already there but on the ground before starting the event. I put three mages, two with EM32 and one with EM31 pets at one of the bees and set them to puller tank. On the other one's location, I put Zerker, Bard, Cleric and enchanter with Zerk as puller tank and the rest on assist. The final one I had the main DPS force SK, SHM, 3 wiz on the first one's location.

Once I started it, mages were perfect, actually did more DPS than I wanted - they were splitting that thing early, but it didn't really matter with the pets. 3 of them with taunt on were able to handle everything until SK finished his chain.

Zerk team was a bit to much DPS as they were splitting soon too and bled over into SK team.

SK walked right through them , but did die twice, thank goodness for the rez stick. Even with only a mod rod click of mana he was overpowering for them. SK team ended up helping the Zerk team finish their chain then the mages.

When we got to the last Bzzat type bee...I had made a Button Master button with a Lua function (thanks to Grimmer, Hytiek and Sic for helping me do my first Lua function) to put all the toons in a circle around it and the SK tanking in the middle with the Zerker . Because of being spread out - the Red/Yellow rains never killed anyone, the tank is never targeted and the zerker got whatever but since the SK never got the debuff he was never downed during that portion.

Took out Bayle raid easily...but apparently I miscounted and did not get 30 royal dudes so I was only able to fulfill 2 of the 3 achievements so far. For the moment the shield is not on the vendor yet. When the raid unlocks I will finish up the achievements and have all 3, until then just farming for enough currency to buy the shield.

Pulled out the Bioluminescent Orb and had everyone but the SHM and SK sit at zone in on pause. SK just let him wail on him until adds popped. Swapped in weapon and killed them until he stopped spawning them all. Hardest part was being patient lol. The balancing of his advisors in the next phase was also a pain, if there was a damage spike they would regen. Finished them and Bayle off and received the Royalty Free achievement. The shield is now on the vendor. Even better there was one in the chest too.
