Its a hard encounter. you can do it with 2 people, a healer and a swordman but its a challenge. a larger group is much easier. I havent done it for a long time, but remember doing with 2 in about 30 mins not counting keys (probably not the most efficient we died a number of times) Im not sure how many drops it has, i can think of 9 off the top of my head, but expect to do it a decent amount to get all the ones you need.
key is for the healers to stand 7 tiles away from whoever they are healing. healer really needs to be on the ball as he hits very hard. or else get pulled into the boss and die. Dexter / Swordman really needs to get honor, as theres no slayer if i remember right.
He has a nasty life leech reflect, so if your sampire take off necro or dont use vamp embrace
ideally healing with majic resist is best (he has bad curses too)
Tamers can do it, but the damage from pets is really low and theres no slayer for spells so it would take a long time.
Id be interested in a few runs, if your getting a group together see if im available 442212126
Personally, i dont scroll all my characters. sometimes its really needed, like on 210 stam suits to have enough mana, or parry mage. Some characters / gear combos do almost need them. Mages really dont need them in my opinion unless you need dex. And its a nice little "boost" even if you dont really need the stat, but could use it on a daily guy.
Sounds like a good goal tho. youl get them eventually. again let me know if your forming a group.
