Guide - Chasing Venenium

WTF is Venenium I hear u ask....and why do I need it.?

1670828870034.png

1. Its a really quick - Eradicate Poison 30 Poison Counters- with a 30 Second Recast.
2. Its got a cool Name
3. It looks good too
4. It goes hand in hand with the Shield of Immaculate light. (Shield is Curse Counters and 4 sec recast. So ok its not as good as shield)
5. If you are doing Raids with poison stuff (ie Shei) then U will want this.
6. You might see some raids U never did when you were growing up.


How to get it:

Head over to Katta Castrum:DELUGE and seek out Firionia Vie.

If she doesnt like you - you will get this response. And sorry you are going to have to do all the Group Quests and shit. Not going over all that in this guide - but it's easy peasy stuff.

If you have been a good boy and she does like you:
1670829441105.png

Go through the "Face Them" text to gewt the Raid Instance.

The keyword to Enter the RAID is "ABLE"

The Storming the Citadel Raid is in 7 raids.

1670829604509.png

The Only one we are interested in is: CALIX QUIRINUS. He is the dude that unlocks Venenium on the Raid Merchant.

These Raids used to be locked behind Keys. ie Click 18 T1 Kets to Unlock T2 Raids. Click 30 T2 Keys to unlock T3
But I don't think this is the case anymore. Maybe it still is..I dunno. I just kill the raids anyway.

RAID 1. Defense of the City

This raid is in the bottom of the citadel. Kill one of the Roaming Guys to trigger the script.

12 Mobs come down the ramps at each side of the pyramid - They are non-agro. So feel free to setup and buff etc.
1670829835461.png1670830223721.png

Say Destroyed to Mayor Livio (Up on top of the Central Pyramid thingy. to start the event)
1670830304027.png


The event goes live and gets chaotic pretty quickly.
The 12 mobs at the left go active first. They will try to Kill Firionia Vie - dont let them. Thats a fail.

Kill All the mobs (They go live at staggered intervals - but soon enough you have heaps to deal with. Kill the Boss Mob to win)

The Chest is up on top of the Pyramid.


The Second raid is also in this area. He spawns after you killed the boss and walks around the outside of the pyramid. He is optional.

RAID 2: Captain Tita's Ghost

1670830772627.png
If you fail this raid - you dont get another shot.

Its pretty easy - Kill him SLOWLY - Deal with the adds.

I know everyone is just gunna go and try and burn his ass...But it doesnt work. He locks at 2% and basically screws the raid. I have tried it - and end up doing an AE trans to reset it.

RAID 3: The Garden
Oh did I mention - the worst thing about this zone is the Mesh is Dodgy. In fact the hardest thing about these raids is getting toons into position. You can't COTH. So, either Banner or babysit the toons to each area.

1670831127005.png1670831172565.png
Setup in the corner. Back in the day we would be tanking both these guys and Balance them down.
Now - its Kill the three Mobs circled in red to Trigger - then Just burn these both to the ground. You get some adds etc, but its just a 1 minute fight.

RAID 4: The Undead Guy
1670831353506.png1670831405282.png
This Raid is basically Kill the adds, several times,
He goes Live...Kill him.
He Comes Back to Life as another Dude. Really kill him this time.
You get some debuffs that screw with your MAX HP. Just ignore and Kill.

Raid 5: Optional Raid
1670831908513.png1670831948557.png


Sorry I didnt get a Picture of this guy..I killed him too quick. He does a whole heap of Emotes - sort of like a Simon Says type mob.
Just ignore it all and kill him.

Raid 6: In the Open area just up the ramp from Raid 5.
1670832084627.png1670832123203.png
This is all very pretty. Kill 3 Waves of these guys and then loot the chest.

RAID 7: The Moneyshot.

Click the port stone to zone up to Cailix's area.

Now - just wait a second and have a look at the achievements before you rush in like a bull at a gate.

You need these three achievements to unlock the Venenium.
1670832453592.png


1670832501381.png EASY: DONT DIE

1670832554075.pngEASY: KILL ALL THE ADDS

1670832590393.pngEASY: Kill LANYS to 2% Health before you Kill Calix.

Yes I know it says 1% - but she locks at 2% so go figure.

Thats it:

The Yellow SPAM should be forthcoming in multitudes and the Venenium will be unlocked. You can buy it for 750 Arx Crystals from the Raid Merchant in Katta Castrum Deluge.

Btw: If you have done these 7 raids - the Chest PP should combine to be around 280,000pp, and a shit ton of tribute and lvl 100-105 Rk III Spells.


If you are doing the SHEI Raid - His DOT comes in 3 waves. The third wave is a Poison wave. So you can setup an event "You feel the venomous touch of Vinitras." /useitem Venenium. Dont need to target yourself. If you are targetting SHEI and you click it - it cures You.

You feel the rotting touch of Vinitras.
The touch fades.
You feel the corrupting touch of Vinitras.
The touch fades.
You feel the venomous touch of Vinitras.
The touch fades.

Enjoy.

Great write-up, thanks! Where would you rate this in terms of raid force required? i.e. can a group of 120s do it, need 12-18, etc?
 
We started this raid-series with our evening team of 5 players/6 chars a couple of weeks ago to eventually get this clicky. It's not a hight priority on our list. We do old raids for a change of the usual content and to hunt useful clickies. The chars are TOL-group-geared / max aa. For us these raids have been challenging and fun so far. We went there without preparation / reading strats. The first raid we could beat after a wipe at first attempt. The attempt to burn Captain Tita's Ghost was a fail. The third raid we tried once and didn't made it.
Actually the progression of the new content has the focus, but we will come back.
This writeup will be helpful for us for the future👍
These raids are not yet a pushover for a group-geared team of 6 chars, but doable and fun.

I referenced some of your other posts Szazor. Thanks for this one too. I actually had already done this expansion on one of my original toons (group part/prerequisites) in era so we skipped right to the Arx raid.

Took me a bit as that last guy I couldn't get to start but finally realized you have to talk to Cailix to get it started not the green Hulk wannabe who just talks trash to you.

Picked up all achievements without even knowing what they were and cherry on top, three Venenium dropped.

It is also worth noting that the knights get the last BPs that summon pets from this expansion. (At least that I can find) I bought then from the vendor and added them to offensive (SK) and defensive (Pal) clickies.

SK: Darkwater Soulrender Breastplate : Clicky Effect : Sword of Corruption
PAL: Darkwater Exarch Breastplate : Clicky Effect : Sword of Justice

venenium removes 30 counters cleansing rod only does 10

its good character development to get it , along with shield of immaculate light (for disease)
 
Pretty sure you could one grp this now. The hardest thing will be navigating to all of the different raid spots.
Though once you are familiar with the zone, its all pretty easy.
 
I've found out that Nav doesn't like that zone, as it refuses to find paths to a lot of the areas. Learning the zone is a PITA.

My guild said that this Venenium is essential to do the tier 3 SRO raids? Is that so, or just a nice to have?
It makes the Spitetangle AE poison debuff trivial, the cleansing rod and potions have a 1 min recast while Venenium has 30 second recast. The recast of 30 seconds is perfect for this event.
