I sh1t you not, I just saw Olihin (gm) sitting outside this mission when i zoned out. He didnt say a word to me and as of now im not banned. He wasn't hiding GM tag either.
15 seconds after i zoned out he poofed and i did GM list again and he was in RS. I'm glad i got my last piece on that run! Thats enough for me to chill on all these MM and loot macs. Skys not falling but i almost sh1t em.

I have gotten all the Hard loot for all 9 of my 70 toons. I then group my 65 necro with 5 other 70's to try to get lower level loot. Got pants in chest (nobody needs now) and earring for necro. Earring is 70 required so necro can't wear it yet.
How low (in avg level) do I need to go to get the next lower round of loot in Hard mission or should I just run everybody through the Normal mission?

hey have discovered something in calister misison... more that one person can have the stone.... get misison then quite... give you stone.. have your friend get mission then quite he also get stones... i have not used it yet..... i need someone to test it out with me.. we can do mullt character with stone in mission.. sweet.. but unlike sk... dieing here counts...
You can shroud down to (65) and I use the /mission plugin to get the task. The mission number is 7512 and task giver is 1608 on my server (will be different when you get the mission though on a different server) My guess is when your in a 65 shroud you can run to the task giver and get the mission normally.

Just completed the mission with my monk/chanter combo. chest had the candle in it. Got a shiny brass idol from bazaar, cast it (single shot DA) on my monk (chanter also threw a rune on him as well, just in case) and had no problems at all. I FD at ent with monk, forgot that i had him there after i checked the chest (he auto stands)../sigh dead monk... but, it took a lot of hits to get him down, highest was 1200, only once, and the rest of the hits were from 300 to 600, so hits were not so high as i expected.
After i zoned out the first time, DA was still on, so I zoned back in and FD..(this was just prior to my brain spasm and killing my monk).. checked the chest.
As an idea, perhaps if you use a monk, you might want to activate a disc such as Earthwalk to mitigate a lot of melee damage as well. I didn't need because i used the DA fron the idol, but if there are no more left in the bazaar, i'll just use a disc and see how it goes. So, thanks all for help here, especially to Persnickety for all the stuff in this thread.

For those of u having trouble getting mission. Just sneak and say "accomplish" to get the mission and then "ready" on Sintal to zone in. Im dubious and still get it.
I zone in on bard DA'd and train the mobs away and FD then just run back to loot chest or have another do it. cake.

For getting loot in chest all you need to do is set waypoint to floor (see previous post for loc). Turn map feature on. As you are zoning in hit your hotkey for warping to floor waypoint. Usually I do not get hit even if mob is right there. When you hit the floor you should be running. Get your bearings and make sure you are not being followed. If you are run to the southeast corner for a zoneout that takes you to Sintal. If you are not being followed then watch traffic on bridge and warp to Sintal when safe. Loot chest and /say leave (out of here works for one toon, leave works for everyone)

All Plate classes. War, Pal, SK, Cle, Brd
PS,
Summoned Minions are rootable, although they do have a REALLY nasty nuke they seem to cast about once every minute.
Last time I had one Up I just chain rooted it until my other toons had zoned in and looted the chest.

When I have a minion pop, I warp to floor and run towards exit. After a few seconds I /fade. The minion stays put long enough to zone in other toons to loot chest.

making folder?
Go to the guides section .. and read the quick ref guide
you have to make sure the macro is .MAC extension..and in the MACRO folder... no where else
\MAcroquest\release\macro
---------------^^ Where macroquest.exe is
----------------------^^ Where macros should be

you don't compile it... just copy and paste into note pad..
save as SAB.mac
ensure its .MAC in your folder..
MQ2 is telling you the file is not found.. so look at the folder.. look at the file.. ensure youre spelling is right .. and in right loc.. etc etc

Been trying to do this manuelly since I can't get macro quest to work for me (have computer genius friend come over to fix it) but what level of the towers are the altars on, 70 cleric with my aura AA, also I found I can bind outside zone in guy so /fade may not be nessicary, can I turn in stone while having aggro? and lastly can I do it straight up or do I just need to get my poop in a group and get macro quest up?

The task certainly can be done manually without MQ, there is just more risk and it will take longer. The four altars are on the top floor of each individual nest/hive/tower thing (I think!). To do the task without MQ and without doing it the conventional "as intended" way, you'd probably need someone who can lose aggro quickly and/or someone who can run up and hand the stones in while invulnerable. And yes you can hand the stones in while you have aggro.

Army is right, it sounds like a problem with having the macro saved correctly and in the correct location. Read his guide here if you need help with that.

I ran this with an average level of 67.3333 ( 3 toons 70,70,62 ) was hoping to do 70 hard but it wouldn't give me the option and I was bummedbut figured what the hell, I'll run it.
Lo and behold, plate legs in the chest
Cursor reward was a crappy version of the melee range item with no avoidance.
I'm assuming as long as you keep your avg level between 65-67.49 you should be able to get these rewards (shroud to lv 70's to 65 and leave the third at 70)

Thanks, it is slower but works well, did first 2 altars with no problem other then that after the first one I ran back to guy and said leave, which left the guys that don't wander right there, I have since bound my self out side and am just running in DA'ed planting stone and getting killed, when done I am gonna use vet AA to 100% rez all corpses, then plan on doing this every time its up, thanks for the help and cents comming.
EDIT:
ok Finished it twice with out macro quest, second run didn't die once and did it very quickly and here is my run down on how straight up.
1. Get buffed, including a trash buff or two cause something randomly debuffed me, for me 70 cleric it was Conv, Armor of Pious, Blessing of Devotion, and Panopoly of Vie. I also threw a Divine Intervention in there for safe measeure, but didn't need it.
2. Get a dampening stone in an inventory slot that is also on hotbutton menu. Have Divine Aura and Barrier memmed as well as gate. I bound myself right by Cirieli guy.
3. Hail Sintal, hit myself with Pious Elixir and say "ready" to him. Once in hit DA right away run straight from guy to first tower altar is on top floor in middle. Pull stone out of slot put on stone hit enter and run like hell back out and all the way to the top of the "living Bridge". Stop turn back toward mobs chasing you and hit gate mid turn. You have to turn to get the server to catch up your acctual location other wise your gate will be intrupted every time even if you don't get hit.Same process for the tower left from zone in but you pop Divine Barrier, and this tower's altar is in the basement. Run to top of bridge and turn/gate out.
4. Now this is where I waited a bit for DA to refresh because your gonna need DB and AA Divine Aura for last tower. Once DA refreshes go back in and repeat process for tower right of zone in, the altar for this one is also in the basement.
5. For last tower, which is farthest run, HoT your self zone in and start running. The altar for this tower is on the top floor and kinda in the back in a hard to see area. Once you plant the stone for this one run to bottom of bridge and wait for DB to drop and be ready to click instant AA - DA. Pop it and run back to top and turn/gate. This may seem like waste of you Bestow Divine Aura AA, but parking the zone wide aggro mobs up here makes it easy to zone back in hail guy for mission complete and loot the chest almost at your leisure.
tidbits: I have run 5, but a SoW makes up for that. I am 10.4k hp self-buffed and 21.6 AC, but if you do the steps and move quick you won't have a single hit land on you. As long as you get back out on bridge before DA fades you can almost run up and down it all day. The pathing of mobs causes them to fall off path quite often and it takes a couple seconds for them to reset back on path. A friend that plays a mage thinks that you could gate out every time from anywhere if you have a Ring of Flight (a insta-click lev ring mages summon at like 49 or something) As your running to gate click it and lev out over open space once again the mobs will reset a couple of times before they acctually get to you to hit you, am gonna try this tomorrow after work. But you want no lev when running to altars cause it makes it easier to get up and down the spirals in the towers. The cast time on my gate is 3 seconds with spell haste V and Blessing of devotion, makes gating quick and easy and if you have a faster computer then this prolly doesn't take any longer then the macro does.
Sorry this was so long but I hope this helps people like me who don't/can't use macroquest. Never had any red cents but throw some this way if you think I deserve some.

Thought i would just add my 2 cents worth...
Great Macro to start with.
1. Worried you wont make it because of hps?... go get the Kobold Cleric Shroud. has DA built in and is ready to use when u get the shroud.
2. getting in there without being creamed?... this took some trial and error, but i found (using cloudy potions or other insta invis), if you time it right, you cna get invis to fire after you say ready and before you get zoned in. you have to wait long enough for it to register you are saying ready to sintal as casting insta invis targets yourself. But must be quick enough to finish casting before you get ported in... i found if you hit enter to say ready to sintal then click insta invis potion from potion belt .3 of a second after you generally get it to work... do some trial and error with this it helps with getting in to loot the chest to.
3. You do need to Hail Sintal outside the instance to get the reward... i forgot to do this 3 times, and had to redo the mission, but then i discovered something handy... if you have done the Dampening stones turn ins, and hailed Sintal INSIDE... you can hail Sintal OUTSIDE and still get mission completed, zone in and get chest. so dont stress if you forget to hail him outside before you start.

Can anyone confirm the headband drops? I have run the easy mission at least 20 times and not seen it drop once yet. It is the last item from hard or easy mission I am after. My guild on the other hand thinks I am a genius and amazed that I can flop this in 10-15 minutes (while I FD and take a shower or eat a quick dinner :p )
I have gotten 2 of the headbands for my Druid and my Bst. Have also left about a half dozen there while trying to get the earring from normal task. Just left one in there last night hehe. So they do drop, and maybe I was lucky at how quick I got all the druid and Bst stuff from there. The one I have problem getting is the charm [drachnid candle] from the hard task.
be warned ! some retard ( iam giving them the benifit of the doubt on mental awareness) is selling the hard task addons for 75k each guatranteed to be done in less than 30 secs in pok on quellious. the bastage is screwing us all. if this doesnt say i use mq2 i dont know what does

Yea there was one guy on my server doing the same thing. I was doing my usual round of selling conv / c and he must have done this for about 1/2 hour. Might as well put a huge sign saying "PLEASE BAN ME" cause they will be watching this closely.

I've done this before with non-macro'd missions. You just complete the mission up to the last step ... have all but one guy leave ... /ooc 'selling xxxx as a reward for yyyyy mission' ... fill the group, collect the money, then do the final turnin.
Granted, this guy is PROBABLY using the macro to get the mission done, but it is arguably possible to legitimately do this mission via turning in the stones and then filling the group before the final hail.
Any bard can solo this in 12 minutes tops. DA recast is 3 minutes, and they ahve the benefit of fade/invis. Any monk/sk can solo this in a decent amt of time with potions for heals/invis.
Retard? Maybe. Genius Businessman? Maybe. It all depends on how he's doing it. If he fills the group, gets the mission, then does it all in 30 seconds he's a retard asking to be banned. If he does the mission up to the final hail, then fills the group ... $$$$.
I've done this with many missions, and I didn't macro a one of them.
