Guide - Mearatas farming

[tc215215]

I haven't found a good spot to farm Diminished Inhabited Muhbis until Mearatas, as all most TBL mobs/bosses have undesirable spells/abilities against MQ2.

What you need a good tank (Pref T2 TBL at least) and possibily a healer merc to camp the central named in Mearatas. Make sure your tank is levitated to avoid LOS issue with KISS, otherwise it will body pull and tank will die before running back to main group.

That's how I got my group T3 geared.

Seems to be the most popular spot in TBL on my server - but i'll get in line I guess.

@Dborgar mentioned that they drop in The Plane of Smoke trials.

Seems like a no brainer to farm them in the easiest trial (no clue which one) instead of trying to bot for them in a highly contested area in an open non-instanced zone. Also you are playing with RNG of named spawning, vs guaranteed chest (no clue if its RNG in chest on what drops).

You need about ~35-40 for each toon you want Prestige gear for is my guess, 21 slots + about 15-20 augments. Also, like I said in that same thread, its stupid to even buy the bazaar sold container until you have the Diminished Inhabited Muhbis, the stuff is bazaar in over priced because the value rests mostly in the dropped piece this time around, its not like Conflagrant gear.

I don't own TBL so can't verify any of what I just said.

For the record, the camp has a guaranteed named every spawn.

...but a pretty rare drop rate for Uninhabited Muhbis, did that camp for days. If you are fast and easy with trials, mostly there are 2 Muhbis inside and doing it in 15min is much faster than camping that spot. Despite somebody will not report you for botting this spot and spawn a ban wave again like last year...

 

[T3ST]

Also something to note that if a pick of the zone is available the middle names will not spawn, the middle named will be up when the pick spawns but will not spawn like the regular zone.

 

[tc215215]

It might be rare drop for diminished inhabited Muhbis but I manage to get 1 drop/2hrs so fully geared a toon (excl gem) in 2 days, which is still a lot quicker than any other means. And the mass ban wave last year was totally unrelated to spawn/rare camping in this thread.

There are indeed downside of this camp however. It seems there is a small but significant of RG users who seem to ignore others and simply power camp by DPS. You give the MQ community a bad name and please refrain from doing so.

Please state how you determined that the asshats are RG users... since there are other sites that offer pre-compiled MQ2 and macros/plugins that do similar things.

Perhaps I should change it to MQ2 user. Apparently they are there 24/7, react to nothing but the central named and pull like a clockwork,

Huge issue on my server also.

Characterizing them as MQ users would be more prudent.

Same on my server

Don't the Trials have a 4 hour loot lockout? Not sure how that coupled with RNG on the chest is better than camping namers for Diminished, when placeholders/named repop way faster than the lockout. I like my odds of getting a named to drop a Diminished Muhbis over running a trial any day!

I dont know of any named that spawns alone, or has a ph alone in the overpopulated new zones so... but if you can get up early mornings, 4am-10am est, most TBL zones are vacant, with plenty of namers to farm. If theres some bot group on 1 ph, go farm the others for Diminished. No need to hate. On my server, you dont see that afk 24/7 in any of the TBL zones. What server are you on? Would love to check that out and see what you guys are talking about!

In Mearatas the named in the central arena is a guarantee spawn every 20min, and is by far best way to obtain Diminished muhbis. Have a look in the EU server. There are always AFK botters but normally confine to FM due to the relative ease. But since TBL there has been a bot group which targets end game group content and engage named in all TBL zone despite another group was prepping.

Having said that I have to give credits to whoever able to perfecting the script to farm named like clockwork, since most TBL named are not just tank and spank.

Radiant Amber Lotus? He spawns every 20 minutes? That's pretty amazing! I did not know that happened every 20 minutes guaranteed! That's awesome to know! I wonder why they have all the other named spawns random and that one spawns every 20 minutes? Guess I'm in the wrong place to try to get Diminished Muhbis and have to look at this namer that is guaranteed to spawn every 20 minutes! Woot Woot!

You get any of the 4 names: Fire does AOE DOT; Water flurries Mez; earth AOE KB; air reflects spells. No add.

Best group combo would be a full melee group with a cleric. Currently that bot group is 3 Wiz sk cleric and chanter, which has difficulties (slow) on killing the spell reflect named.

A group consist of warrior 2 zerkers beast lord bard and cleric would dominate the place.

Any chest in TBL can drop the DIM I find it about 1/10 drop rate and then you have a chance to get 1 or 2 muhbis 50%???

Someone told me they ran all 5 trials and got 9 muhbis - well buy a lottery ticket - doing trials/missions etc. still has a low drop rate - If you have experienced otherwise Congrats on your good fotune - Majority of my game play has been repeating trials and doing missions and i've scored DIMs at about 1/10 chance from chests.

 

[tc215215]

I managed to talk to the permanent camper. Apparently it took him 7 days to camp enough muhbis for his full group. And he is on his way gearing up another.

I think chests from missions are far and away the best means of securing DIMs. It takes me ~10 minutes each to run Brass Palace / Contract of War / Relic Raider / Strange Magic and about 12-15 min each for Delivery / Remodeling / Tyrant of Fire. I average a DIM probably about 80% of the time. Rough math would imply that I can get 5-6 DIMs in under two hours just blitzing these missions. Note that I don’t run the trials for loot. I loathe running 6 characters through PoSmoke and the lockouts are so long...

On the named camping, my luck on DIMs is abysmal. Maybe 25% chance of drop. I camp named for the type 18 augs but would never camp them for DIMs.

I think the major difference is you just leave your team there, get ~20 DIMs everyday. Huge difference between effort of playing I guess

 

[tc215215]

There is no way. Period.

And this:

That is 48 DIMS in 7 days. They dont drop like that with that frequency. Every time a named spawns its not holding one.. I farm this shit and I know. I am not sure why you are saying this stuff but... I almost wonder if you even use MQ or if you are here trolling.

Given he's sniping other names as well according to the forum, I actually believe he was able to do that

Boy i wish that was true 80% drop rate - I'd be done with this shit considering i've ran 30 or more missions and got dims like...idk 5 times


This shit in this thread is deep.

 

[Tonytaz]

when TBL first launched i was averaging 12 Muhbis after every hero mission and trial of 3. idk what happened but the past 3 weeks the drop rate has been absolutely horrid for me where i am lucky to get 2-3 for a full clear.
oddly enough the mission brass palace has given me the most
i just hope its random and not nerfed. but missions were great for me at the start.

 

[Sum1]

Well, the expansion has been out long enough for some nerfing to happen.
