Don't kill a thing and get katta faction + Orux

[Topotamadre]

Ok, 1st post here, so i'll try do my best

This is #6 task for Solteris flag (1st from Vizier Zio) [-2145, -2143, -65]. You say "goals" to trigger this task (tho, you need to have done tasks 1-5 to be able to trigger it, and need #5 to be able to zone into the instance zone). Instance is in Zhisza, portal in katta castrum to Zhisza is at [4169, 2555, -516], once in Zhisza you have to head North into the caves, keep going north, there is a wall-door which opens if you are flagged to Silyssar, and behind that one the door to instanced/regular Silyssar.

This is a group task, so you NEED at least 3 chars for it, 2 being flagged for the zone.

Also, one of those flagged chars must be a FD class.

Strategy is this:

Place the FD class at the yellow spot (no need to be exactly on it, just close to the Portal there.

There will be several waves of Shissars coming down the portal, if this happens, time to use the second char for this. Go close to the portal (not too close, those shissars got a pretty damn big aggro range, just get close to water and they'll follow you), it's TIME TO RUN TO ZI!! - you aggro several Shissars, and they all cast a soooo bad snare, which will make them engage you and you die. As soon as you aggro, run to the zone in (marked as light blue color on map, but not like you need to heh, you came from that way :p )

This is done to keep those shissars away from the portal, since it seems that you won't see a shissar using the portal to go up (which is the objective of the mission) until there are no mobs around.

Rinse and repeat until the task finally updates.

Found it a very good way to get some faction + orux, last time i did it was 60 orux as reward. It has some time of lockout, but imo it's worth, you don't need to kill a thing at all and can do it with just 3 chars

Heard it's gonna be nerfed, but not sure if it's done with today's patch, since i couldn't try yet, or it's still there.

Enjoy

Anybody have any clue how this one works. i've killed my way to the teleporter and Flopped my way to the sorcerers so i can hear the incantation. but never get the update. i can clearly hear the incantation 3x in a row before i get the message, "You quietly observe the Shissar..." anymore clues on this would be helpful. ive not been detected, so adds dont port down to toss my salad. thanks ahead of time.

This mission was changed. I havent figured out how its done yet but they added something to it. Maybe all classes have to be FD and be in zone i dont know.

In the post I made earlier, which was virtually the same, minus the map, I mentioned you can just /fade instead of running to the ZI

Use /fade, it's way faster, and you don't have to deal with the snare (sometimes its an almost insta-cast from the shissar).

I haven't tried it in the last few days, so if it's nerfed, I'll be a little upset.

Was changed yeah, can now actually do it with just one person who can FD in zone...

Just stay FD near portal, after some times watching sorcerers using the portal shissars will stop coming down from it and task will update, so easy. It's just waiting til it happens.

Happen to have a loc for the portal? Maybe try to set up a macro for it

 

[Topotamadre]

Seems it got "fixed"....

You need to be standing (no sos, no invis) to get updates, so you need to kill the shissars coming from the upper levels =(

And no sorry, no locs =/

There's already a post in this forum that includes locs.

ok, got this one done today finally , shortly after i posted matter of fact... i was trying to "Listen" to the sorcerers testing the line of sight so i dont get seen. i started with a doubleshrink trying to use monk to get update, BTW, the portal is near zone in, only 4 mobs between you and the portal, it's slightly to the left as you exit the cave.

After about 3 rounds of adds from being seen, we ended up killing the adds at zone in as the monk trained us. i was poking around looking for a hiding spot with the monk. and poof, i got the update in the standing position near the rock that is to the right of the portal on the edge of the water.

hope this helps, we were at one time trying to get updates by bringing whole group near. since you said it was changed. but of course we'd get seen, monk fd auto breaks, and poof, since we were unprepared, we about died before evac hit.... only took the better part of 5 hours to figure this out hehehe, good luck to you all and have fun.

*edit* Re-did this mission, for some reason my signet is stuck at one certain stat even though my groupmates signet stats increased. just dont know where it's stuck at...the progression fella keeps telling me to see the quest giver for this mission...
anyway, redid this mission for some ungodly reason. it sucks, the rock thing didn't work. ended up clicking on sneak and walked around just west of the dot placed on map (near the portal landing mark) above when i got update. maybe rogues do this much easier, reward is down below 45 on my server.
