I''m up for checking out the monastery whenever. What zone is it in anyway?
Tirisfal Glades.
OK, I have no idea where Brill or Tirisfal Glades are. I will check out some maps and see where I need to get flight points...
Tell me more Flux. How do I get rich quick? I still need like 30 gold for a Ram.
Heh, I think I ran into that exact thread yesterday on the official forums... maybe even in the priest forums. Didn''t get a chance to fully read up on it but I think it involes a mage spamming AOE ... Priests are handy for shield and shackle undead.
I''m game for tonight btw, not sure how your schedules are... still lvl 38 though, couldn''t get much time in last night.
Hehe, I guess it doesn''t hurt to give it away since it''s an instance, no fear of overcrowding. This is the thread where I first read it. For those that are blocked, here is the basic strategy, written by a priest speaking about a priest/mage combo, copy/paste:
My primary partner in this endeavor was a level 39 mage. This was, I believe, the best team for the job. The ability to summon water and polymorph the humans, coupled with the priests ability to keep the mage alive and shackle undead, while he puts out massive AoE damage, made mass killing of the creatures in SM a cakewalk.Here''s the ""Forumulae"" we applied when farming the graveyard.
To get to the graveyard, you have to get by some elite Scarlet humanoids. No problem. If there''s more than two MC one and let the others kill him, and then polymorph the remainder and finish your work. Head to the graveyard.
There are three standard critters that spawn in the graveyard. They are:
-An Anguished Dead Elite
-A Phantasm Elite
-A Group of 3 Ghosts.Any one of the above three you kill will later respawn with one of the above three again. There are also two rare spawns which drop rare items but watchout, the guy in red is immune to shadow damage.
The pack of three ghosts are really the squishy-center of this experience. Step by step, this is how one priest and one mage killed a couple hundred of them:
-I''d shield myself.
-I would run and lure as many packs of ghosts as possible with a SW: Pain on the ghost in the middle of the group, attracting all three (Usually getting 6-12 ghosts)
-I''d run straight at the mage, while he''s busy charging up a Flamestrike.
-Flamestrike goes off (doing massive damage to every creature in the radius, 300+ with burning damage), I hit fade to drop any stragglers.
-PW: Shield the mage
-Mage Frost Novas/Cone of Cold
-Start spamming flash heal at mage
-Mage casts arcane explosion until all ghosts drop.This should leave you and the mage at about 1/3 mana if everything went well.
You may encounter problems with Undead adds while pulling, make sure your mage understands your strategy and shackle the undead, and move away sufficiently so the mage''s AoE doesn''t release the undead.
Make sure to kill all the undead elites as you go along one at a time as quickly as possible, so another group of 3 ghosts might respawn in it''s place.
Set loot to round robin, and rinse and repeat until you and your mage have sufficient funds for your purposes.
We had 3 in our group last night, but I think it is best if this is done with 2. The ghosts are lvl 30-32 elites, so two 40s can take them no problem, and the loot is less divided. I think 4 or 6 of us can go to the instance, then break off into groups of 2 and see what we come out with. Oh yeah, make sure you have empty bags, they drop all kinds of loot that sells for good amounts at the vendors.
I found the ''Chillwind'' FP last night, it is closer but you have to run thru lvl >50 mobs to get to the monestary and it''s pretty hard to run back that way. It''s pretty much one way to the monestary at our level.

Pffft, we don''t need no stinkin flight points to get out.
I was doing research on that this morning Eezy and I saw the Chillwind FP. How long of a run is it to SM from Chillwind? How easy was it to find Chillwind from SM?
The details are thus.
The CW FP is only flyable (with my current FPs) to SouthShore ($2.97s).
It''s easy enough to get to Chillwind, follow the road north to alterac from SS. Then instead of staying straight on the road to go into the ruins of alterac take the right and go through the village of Syndicate there (lvl 30''s mostly hidden and didn''t even attack me). Follow the road and you''ll see a bunch of S:I and Advent folks, there is a gnome FP guy in this little group of buildings. From there it''s about a 5 minute run to the monestary. Instead of following the road into the western plaguelands follow the mountains on your left until you''re about at the middle of the wide short lake on the west side of the road to the plaguelands. Jump in the lake and cross, once you get on land on the other side of this lake the fun with lvl50 and higher mobs begins. There''s a road here that heads east/west, take it west and you''ll soon be in the monestary zone just south of it, kinda where we almost ran to last night before heading north to the monestary.
I tried running back from the SM zone along the road but there were baddies in the way. I died never got around to just trying the reverse course of my initial course to get to SM, via the lake.
The most important thing we learned: how to go from 0 gold to mount in 2 days! I love you ghosts!
Do you mean 2 days /played? Or 2 days of 4 hour farming sessions? Or what?
I think if your whole party leaves and comes back curb? So if you''re solo, try to walk out of the instance and come back in.
EDIT: Yeah, I made about 5g last night, was a little over an hour I think?
I didn''t make as much but I didn''t start picking up until the end. I have a complex on being a loot whore. My bags were half empty. I did make over a gold in silver drops alone.
Damn Eezy, I didn''t even notice until the end when you said you had space. We''ll split the drops or do round-robin or something next time.
No hard feelings man. Now that I know about it it''s not like money will be a problem for long =)
I couldn''t get past the interregator room solo. I''m in desolace at the moment working on the Brother Anton quest.
Flux, did curb do all that solo? If so, I am definately on my way there next time I log in.
Is there any interest in actually doing the entire instance this weekend? Sunday night?
Hmmm ... I can use feign death which is probably about the same as vanish. Can''t sneak though. How much sneaking is needed to get to the graveyard?
We have 5 people with scarlet keys as well so we can open the 2 large locked doors that will finish the instance.
I am up for it this weekend. Where does the In the Name of the Light start? Desolace?
I have to say, when he had that bad pull in the courtyard with all the dogs and had that epic fight where we killed about 20 mobs...
That was awesome. Like a well-oiled machine, we were. I should have got a screenie of all those dead bodies.
