annoying to run multiple chars outta there.)

Do not even have to do that for 3/4 of the quests can be anywhere and still get the reward, cannot remember which one it was that did not work for across zones.

I think it's the Erion (light) quest killing dark stuff. I don't recall, so I just ran everyone to the zone every cycle.
It helped because my Rogue would do the dark quest (where you have to use stealth) and that made it super simple. The monk handled the other 3. And if something stupid happened, my cleric was outside available for heals. Feign Death doesn't work inside the pillars.

I set up "/nav wp" markers outside each of the pillars, so the team would path to each pillar (outside) flawlessly. Nav won't work inside the pillars, even in the dark pillar where there's no elevators.

since when ? my necro could feign without a problem but that was 12_ months ago. for the dark area had to unequip the lightsources also

Honest question: Why the sudden surge in interest in this particular evolving item? I swear, a year ago I never heard anyone talking about The Tears of Alaris. Now, I see a bunch of people in guild chat doing missions and offering task adds or people asking about "best spot to level tear." On the official forums and on here, it's suddenly the hot thing to do. I don't get it. Why now? It's been available for 6-7 years now, if you weren't interested in it before, what changed?

Best guess? ToV was only half an expansion and most people are done with it and looking for something to do.

Every time my monk flops, mobs re-aggro and start beating on him. A 115 monk ain't failing 100% of the time, but if I flop in LoS of mobs, they ignore it and keep attacking. Literally have to run around a corner without being summoned to have a chance, and even then I think it was problematic.
Even fade would cause them to get put back on my ext target window.

Fortunately, the tear is next to worthless now anyway. Don’t waste your time, imo.

Is this the consensus now? If so, what should I put in my Ammo slot for my Pally? The Manashot Crossbow or something else?

I've had the Tear in the slot...

5% defense is worthless?

 

[dpanaben]

I remember there is another solo task macro for this, much more easier.

 

[Oldman66]

FragmentFarm and it works great. You can even do a group.

5% defense is worthless?

Yeah I'm wondering the same. Because someone did a parse once? What did they have in the slot instead? What was their gear? What were they fighting? Someone did a parse without some data means means jack shit to me.

Fully evolved tear can be a type3, I'm sure you can find a spot for it. iirc all the stats of the tear does not apply in ammo slot.

Killing alarans in the arena in Shard's is great for a 90s and 100s FTP crew. Almost all the rare gear drops were usable and my tank was able to fully evolve the tear on the fragments. It was the first Type 3 piece of gear he had so I'm sure the stats meant something even if minor. The plat and tradeskill drops were also very nice as it allowed me to afford all the spells and tomes for the levels!

there is a quest in SL that rewards 1 tablet. simple quest. takes 10 min. easy to automate.

5% defense is worthless?

yes… or more precisely… the benefit is of such little value as to be imperceptible when parsed.

Unmaintained - Alaran.mac "Words of the Unspoken"

Have at least 11 open slots and a main slot available in inventory for a container combine. Classes without some type of invis should get invis pots or be able to ignore a train. While testing, I did pull a small train but lost all aggro while...

Ah thanks! I was slamming out "fear begins at home" (no timer) and there is another in heart of fear that has a 6 hour lockout but I forget that one.

 

[exspes007]

Shards Landing
Bodhessel the Caller (quest giver)
Fear Begins at Home (quest name)
no lockout duration on quest reward
1 table per quest reward.

if you keep your group on the same task step, only 1 person needs to do the work while everyone gets the reward.
but it is still a solo quest. takes ~10 min per run

it can be automated as a group.

Parse it.
