I am not sure If I can request this for a free month subscription if I am already a Member paying monthly. My money is just tight so I dont think it would hurt to add this if you find it useful. I want to give back to the community of Redguides that has helped me out alot!

Some of my guildies and I figured there is a way to farm 70.5 Spell Mission on both normal and hard. Where you only have to kill the Boss to get his loot. You will not get the rewards for completing the Task obviously. But you can farm the Boss loot, which has many nice drops on both normal and hard.

1. The Strategy I use is with my Warrior i get a Invis and target Fragment of Draygun.
2. /warp Target (Hotkey) back up a little bit.
3. Hit Bazu Bellow/Incite and turn on attack.
4. Then /warp succor (hotkey) back to zone in.
5. Hit defensive and Tank the bad boy.

The Fragment of Draygun likes to try to gate at about 1% if you cant DPS in dead in time and he gates. When the Tank gets summoned I did a /warp succor (hot key) back to zone in. One improvement if you able to multi box this yourself of with a group that all use MQ2 and dont mind warping to all warp to the target and fight it in his spot just dont go near the ramp up to his room there is a wander that wanders by.

One nice thing is you can do this back to back with out any lock out timer since you actually not completing the mission.

Most of the time when I do this I bring my level 70 Warrior between 15k to 15.5 hps depending on buffs. 70 Cleric 9100ish Mana running Healer Macro set to CH at 90%.

Classes I recommend to bring for both Hard and Normal.
1. Warrior
2. Cleric
3. DPS (Ranger, Rogue, Monk, Beastlord)
4. DPS (Ranger, Rogue, Monk, Beastlord)
5. Slower/Caster DPS
6. Wizard w/ Translocate Anchor (belive that is the name of the AA that stops mobs from gating.)

*One note on the Slower the Fragment of Draygun is VERY hard to slow a Enchanter with us on a Hard Mission tried something like 15 times to slow it then gave up and started Runeing the Tank and doing DPS. Also he is very magic resistant to diffrent Nukes the wizards in my group said. But a Beastlord was able to get it slowed with in a couple trys. I have yet to try this strategy with a Shaman.

Get the mission from Jarzarrad the Prophet | Undershore at the Brothers Camp. To get to the instance by hailing Brother Stillpool outside the door of the tent where you found Jarzarrad the Prophet.


Loot Hard

Barnacle Covered Chain Leggings
Darkhollow Dweller Boots
Illsalin Wall Fragment
Ring of Dark Coral
Shiliskin Enforcer Gauntlets

Loot on Normal
Angler Fang Helmet
Coral Horn
Light Coral Barbed Shield
Shimmering Illsalin Jewelcrafter Stone
Warm Coral Stone

Plugins and Macros I use when doing this event.
1. Healer Macro - Crystane's working macro's reworked.
2. MQ2RWarp (I use Thez2.2 compile) - MQ2RWarp (I use Thez2.2 compile)
Rich (BB code):
/zwarp <distance> - Warps you a specified distance on the Z axis.
/exactloc - Gives you a high-precision /loc readout
/waypoint - Sets a waypoint for future /warping
/warp <succor|last|loc <y x z>|dir <dist>|target|wp name>

Let me know if you need any more information sorry if I put to much typing in this write up.

**EDIT**
I do not know off the top of my head how hard he hits on both normal and Hard. But when my defensive wears off my warrior in the hard mission he is droping hps fast and Complete heals are having trouble keeping me up. I will get the information in the next day or 2 on how hard it is hitting my Warrior w/ 680AA Shield Block when I go to shield when defensive drops, 2600ish AC and just over 15K hps.

Yes, very nice post. It would be even better for me if I could just request 70.5 instead of having to do the other 4 first. Poor me.. hehe

Not necessarly you can always find a guildie or someone you may know that can get 70.5 on Hard or Normal for you. Give you leadership of the task and stay with you or drop out of the Mission all together.

Yeah.. but I have no friends in the game.. :( Well.. cept my other 6 accounts.
 
You folks know, that most mobs in DoDH can be weakened via dispelling em first then debuffing and sloweing.
Else you may have to go the hard on style.

Try it out, you may be surprised.
Enjoy Crystane.

P.S. This info is not my own discover and had been on boards here somewhere else.

And even on the SoE boards :)

Some are like you say, but many drachnids (oh I hate them) are not.
 
I will even one up you if you do this mission and request the easy version boththe easy boss and the hard boss are up and you can kill both for double the loot in the same instance !
 
Now that is the way to post Gnomesrule. Very informative and to the point.
 
Wow this finally got out? Been so long since I've done it that I completely forgot about it. Nice post. How I wish all people could post that way. :D

Anyone tried getting Attunable loot from this one yet?

Are both mobs named the same? And.. are they in the same location. Just curious so that I know if I can box both. Thanks.

I am not positive of what botsalot meant about both bosses being up. That would be impossible as far as I know it since this is a instance. The boss is always in the same location so you can box it. Also since there is no lock out timer you can always repeat once you looted the corpse. Leave mission upon zoning get the instance again.
 
I believe they have different names now that I think about it (if you get the easy) but 2 mobs are there that drop both loot tables from easy and hard.

You knew about it, you didn't post about it, and now you wish everyone posted this way?
 
lol I posted something similar Odessa, but figured no sense saying anything some people are just here for themselves hehe so I edited it.

Say it, don't be afraid, everyone here is enough of a pussy as it is.
 
I just wanted to get ahead of the curve and let everyone know i have every hack that there is right now....so from now on when any are posted...just assume that I already had them......I feel very powerful now!!!
 
the Fragment of Draygun seems to get caught up on top of the succor point, where he is unhittable.

That has happened to me a few times. It does have some buggy ness at times. The easist way to do this is to actually fight him in his room if your entire group warps down if they are willing or use mq2. Obviously if not all use MQ2 then you can warp up to the top.

I farmed it for a good 2-3 days and completely forgot about it or I would have posted something. If I had remembered I would have made a detailed post the way he did. Though I haven't played much since then so I didn't. It was more a compliment on actually using correct grammar and including details. I said post this way, meaning style. Not post uberific exploits. Geez don't get your panties bunched up :)
 
Just to verify what i had said when you get 70.5 and get easy mission Emp draygun is up in the zone 2 times once as a yellow con and once as a red con CHECK YOUR MAP

very fast and easy way to get what you want from the trial and be done with it

Oh I get what you mean now Yes there is 2 with the same part of a name. A Yellow and a Red. The one I listed in my post was the exact name for the Red which is a Shadow looking Emperor. The Yellow con one on the map is actually a diffrent boss (a shadow dragon) that doesnt drop anything it is part of the mission. So there is no point in killing the Yellow Con dragon if you just going to farm.
 
the red con is for hard mission , best way to do this is to warp to emp fragment , kill him there because you get all the room you need . as for completing the mission , load up mq2doors . keep in mind that /doors on will also remove the orbs . so you can click on orb then warp . also you will need to kill all 4 named to finish the mission , order doesnt matter . all the mobs warp . so agro then warp to camp and it will come single . hope this helps

1842?! Damn I'd still have a tough time completing this even WITH MQ2Missions.

what did you expect for 70.5? :)
I am guessing hard is 2500+ hitter

I don't know.. I guess I hadn't really thought about it since I knew I wouldn't be seeing it anytime soon. Seeing the number here in black and white makes it hard to ignore.

No AE's or anything to worry about?
 
you definetly need a solid tank, good healer and dps but well worth the rewards. No, aren't any AEs.

Hmm.. My Tank is solid, I have 2 solid healers.. Necro, Rogue and Chanter.

With no ae's I should be able to handle it I guess.. Seems with PoR they not only made things hit hard but also made every damn mob cast an ae.

Is tough on a 6 boxer.
 
Solid tank is essential here. Mob is a necro but barely does any casting, almost pure melee.

Cool, thanks, Odessa. Now I just need to trudge through 70.1 - 70.4 to get there. Hehe
 
Good luck there Crypto the 70 spell missions are down right nasty. 70.1 can be a major pain unless you have a solid puller.

70.2 also is very difficult on normal with wierd pathing. Those Patorians you have to kill (6 in total) hit for 1800 on normal and fast. They can chew up my warrior good when no defensive.

70.3 Monster Mission is not that bad.

70.4 Seeker is pretty easy on both Normal and Hard and you can have more then 1 group do it since it is not instance. Basicly a big diablo looking seeker attacks the brothers tent. You tank him 3 diffrent times and he spits out 2 adds each wave of him.

70 spell missions can be pretty nasty.

I am an Awesome puller.. pretty hard to beat an instant invis, unresistable 3 minute snare and /fade ;)

Druids kick ass with /fade

what is MQ2Missions do?

I'm not sure because I never did actually get to use it. But it supposedly lets you pick any mission in any order.. from anywhere :)

So, in this case I would just request 70.5 with MQ2Mission so that I wouldn't have to deal with any real missions. Basically it would allow me to go to the easily cheatable (New word) zones without having to do the not so cheatable zones.
 
Wow this guy is tough, gating is what kills me :( He gates all the time and gets to about 30% hp, gated 4 times on me and then tank died, grrrrrrr

Can you fight him at spawn? I thought I read someone say you could.

I think you can but the room he is in looks to have a drop of some sort, I don't want to fall off :)
