This strategy is for those with a choir, chorus, ensemble, consort, Shit ton of Bards.

Step 1. Make your way Qvic (Magus -> Nedaria's Landing -> Natimbi - Or get a port)
From the Natimibi zone in spot - Run to the dude up the hill will port you direct to Qvic. Just use Easyfind.

There may be a level requirement of 65 for this - other than that its all open.

Step 2. From the Qvic Zone in - Run over to the Statue/Zone in area as shown and drop your campfire here - The Zone to Txevu is actually clicking on this big statue, but Txevu is a Non - campfire zone.

Drop your campfire and Fellowship in your dudes. Plant a Banner and you are ready to roll group after group.

Step 3. The Instance that you need requires Zun Muran Signet of Command to be in your inventory.
If you already have it you can skip ahead to step 8.

Step 4. If you dont have the Signet - lets get one in about 2 mins.
Invite 6 toons to a raid and talk to the Agent of Change just North of where you are currently standing. Say danger to Him and he gives you a Txevu Instance.

Step 5. Zone into the Instance and charge towards the boss. The trash mobs are lvl 65-70 they are weak under the might of your toons and not worth mentioning.
There are other key events - but not interested in them - Speed Run ftw!

Step 6. If you dont have the Key to get through the Yellow Doors (locked and unpickable)
Right click on the Ikaav Ritualist and send a pet in to agro him. Agroing the whole room.

Step 7. Kill Zun`Muram Tkarish Zyk and loot the Signet of Command. You can now start Tacvi Raids whenever you want.

You also get offered a Tacvi Instance at this point. But I usually just drop instance at this point and poof everyone back to Qvic


Step 8. Use the Statue in Qvic to zone into the normal instance of Txevu.

Step 9. Talk to Hamari Nedu at zone in - If you have the signet in Inventory AND you are in a RAID with at least 6 toons you will get the following text.

Say open the Way to get the Tacvi Instance

Step 10. Zone into Tacvi -
Its just around the corner from the Zone in. The Statue at the end of the Corridor.

not really needed - but a hotkey with the following is awesome
/dgza /doortarget
/dgza /click left door


Step 11 Tacvi - Seat of the Slayer (Cool Name right)

We are just going to charge in through and to the left.
Hail the dude at the entrance and say continue - then say Ready and they will open the door.

Step 12. Mob 1 - Burn

Boom thats it!
Now it may seem like a lot of steps - but when you get your mojo happening you can do 8 groups in a few hours.

You don't always get the Rapier - so I always leave the Bards outside and task add them when there is something to loot. I got 3 today - so it is fairly common.
Unfortunately - there is nothing else in this raid that is worth farming. No Illusions, no other useful clickies. Nada.

Hope this is useful to someone.
 
Nice write up.

Do you still use your rapier? I banked mine a long time ago since the songs are as good or better.
I was wondering the same thing. Been trying to decide if it is worth it. And everyone says something different these dayss
 
More thinking to do then! +50 attack is... I dont know if that is really worth it for me persay
 
I believe the clicky is an overhaste item. It is standard to have even now adays.

Current raid guilds still require it. fyi
 
Every little bit helps!

Its a game of inches, and you need to stack those inches.

Just ask your missus if she would like a few extra inches?

I raided a bard for about 4 years, and 101% of bards that raid have the Rapier and use it religiously. its frowned upon not to have and for the value of a raid then its good for group too! i would un bank it and smack it on the bard!
 
@Szazor thank you for the guide, yet again you provide information thats useful i threw a soft redcent youway!! <3
 
If a char gets out of range of the songs, or the bard gets smashed, haste will still be on all chars in the group when Symphony of battle is applied.
Exactly this...Especially if you are running multiple bards and hanky automation while we wait for the prophesized plugin that will remain nameless - Symphony of battle is a 30 min buff - get it on.

Dont see any reason not to have it.

Oh nice I never thought about this, I always just do the annoying key quest. Somewhat moot if you do this strategy since you'll have a pet anyway, but make sure you bring a class with a pet (aa swarms like ranger wolves count) or you won't be able to kill Zun'Muram.
 
Nice guide...well done.

My old lady doesn't even care about extra inches. She gets what she gets and that's all there is to it lol.

On another note, these sell for anywhere in between 1.2m to 2m pp on FV. I sell a few here and there. Now don't you go flooding my market hehe.

Thanks for this! Just got the rapier, worked exactly as you wrote it up. Maybe 15 minutes to get the shard and kill the goat. Dropped on the first run.
 
Songblade of the eternal also has this, from plane of time Inny.
 
Yeah but plane of time is not a 15 minute foray - and the weapons are a little rarer.
There are a few other things in POT to make it worth your while though - Slow Stick for your shammies

You post reminded me of that awesome speech that Al Pacino gives in Any Given Sunday...
 
Thanks for this! Adding some more stuff to the "to do" list.
