Hey all, with the long stretch of rare monster spawns just starting, and with the new expansion right around the corner, now is the time to head to TBL to camp Diminished Inhabited Muhbis to make your Adamant visibles! Get out of that stinky conflagrant you've been wearing for so long....and take a shower for god's sake man!

I’d go a step further and say it’s probably a more efficient use of your time to continue keeping Contract of War, Brass Palace snd a couple of the easier Smoke trials on lockout while farming named, too. I’ve gotten 90% of my muhbis from chests.
 
Not sure the rare spawn thing is still on - last night I camped three ph spots all night and only got one named spawn.

2 of my toons have conflagrant (tank/cleric), 4 are in cohort's. I am not looking forward to gearing them all up. Actually, my chanter still has Abstruse (yes, HoT era) sandals. Currently getting my silkies into conflagrant would cost more pp than I have, so planning on trying to get those into at least T1 TBL gear if I can.

Easy way to test is to see if double faction is still on. If so, then the rare spawn boost SHOULD be, too, but leave it to DBG to hose something like that up.

Can you do TBL trials in that gear? I’d assume if you’re camping named you probably can. I highly recommend blowing through trial of three and wending ways for some tier 1 loot. If you can get progression done (pretty easy, mostly), then Brass Palace is probably within reach, too.

Also, you can always sit in TBL zones and ask for rotting stuff. For example, all visibles are rotting for me now.

I guess I'll find out! I'll presumably need them to get into the TBL zones to beg for rots anyway. My tank is Conflag/GMM/the odd piece of t2 TBL rots, my cleric and my rogue are Conflag/GMM (so correction; only need 3 to gear up to conflag level). Incidentally my wizzie, in cohorts, is still better deeps than the rogue (which uses mq2rogue), and also has far less AA.

TBH my experience with rots is; people who farm are AFK and won't announce rots. People who don't farm have tons of alts and won't announce rots either, or only in guild.

There's a number of alternatives - try to farm conflagrant raw silks and get someone to make them for me (I have someone who would), or sell everything I possibly can and empty the coffers entirely to get whichever conflag gear I can afford.

Is there an easy way to do wending ways? I smash trial of three, but the portals confuse me and it takes me far too long.

JJ's WW macro!


Put this in your mac directory, make sure you have no selos / mounts activated, invis everyone, then /mac ww (earth, fire, ice, air, chest) depending on which one you want to head to. Just make sure you start just past the npc that you hail to activate it.

If you have all the resource lowering things activated (mq2fps, everquest's background fps dropped low, etc) then you're gonna have to do it individually on each char, with their window open.

If you have a beefy rig and turn all that crap off, you can /bcga //mac ww fire (or whichever you're headed to) and they will all just run there.

Thanks @joojoobee :)

What @watisthis said. I use the wending ways macro. You sometimes have to fiddle with it a little (like run the macro a couple times to get to the right location), but with a little experimentation it works super well.
