Thursday 10th March 7pm GMT after Brit Bank Meet - Gather Brit Bank

This Thursday we will fight:
Lady Melisande
Sleeping Dragon Champion Spawn
Medusa


For Lady Mel and Sleeping dragon you do not need quests. But anyone wishing to attend please make sure you have done the sacred quest to enter abyss for Medusa:

Sacred Quest - UOGuide, the Ultima Online Encyclopedia

TAMERS ARE NO GOOD AT MEDUSA SO WE WILL DO HER LAST AND SWITCH CHARS TO DO HER.

What a splendid idea! I will come along and fight alongside you bear folk! Jilyan, Valura or Kharah most likely..Poppy and Darwynna are too peaceful, I suppose Poppy could throw cakes at them..

Excellent idea! Hope I have to time to join. Any special characters recomended ? Something about tamers not so good at medusa?

Ah yes thank you for pointing that out Donzer, I will have to say each time which classes not to use at certain bosses :) Yes Tamers no good against Medusa. We will have to switch chars and do her at end or something. In future ill pair up bosses you can use the same character throughout so dont have to go through that.

Doubt we can join yet, busy week here, but nice initiative Esca!! :thumbsup:
We were a little surprised to see the tamers remark, you mean tamers are no good to deal damage? That we would understand. But the GDs are a nice shield, we always use a mix of tamers and mages and that works a treat. How do others fight her? (We are guessing sampires?)

Its not that Tamers aren't good, they just do more harm than good against certain bosses like Medusa, Stygian dragon, Paroxymous.

Medusa will petrify pets and make evil twins of them which an evil twin of a greater dragon is very nasty. Lord Paroxymous eats pets to restore his life. Stygian dragon just eats pets for breakfast with pure damage.

Certain classes just dont do well against certain bosses. Its like warriors or close range fighers arnt very good against Scalis due to his powerful AoE. Bards are no good against Travesty as travesty will copy you and proceed to discord your party. Warriors that fight in close quarters are no good against lady Mel due to her powerful AoE.

We agree on most of what you wrote. But we just never saw the evil twin dragons as a problem since with a dragon slayer book one can shoot them to smithereens with just 2 corp pors before they even come to life. :) :) And with equip last weapon it's easy enough to switch between Repond and Dragon Slayer spellbook.

Why do we need Tamers on a Group hunt? Nothing a good Group can´t handle without those lame Dragons.

Thursday 17th March 7pm GMT/UTC after Brit Bank Meet - Gather Brit Bank

Next Thursday we will fight:
2-3 runs of Travesty
Dragon Turtle Eodon Champion Spawn
Finish with a few rounds of Doom.

Please make sure you have accept the quest from Sarakki the Notary at the entrance to the drawbridge to Castle British to get into Travesty!

Bards are not advised for Travesty as she will copy you and then use your discord skill on the rest of us. But there will probaly be so many of us we'll just mob her anyway so shouldnt matter too much!

Thank you all who came tonight! Was a good bunch of us, nice to have a party that big down the doom gauntlet, havent seen that many down there in years lol. Sorry we only got 1 travesty done, i spent 2 hours farming the keys and the bosses just would not drop them! Next week will be a good one so make sure you come along!

Thursday 24th March 7pm GMT/UTC after Brit Bank Meet - Gather Brit Bank

Next Thursday we will fight:
Stygian Dragon
Corgul
Finish with Scalis!

Please make sure you have done the sacred quest to enter the Stygian Abyss to do the Stygian Dragon.

Hope everyone has High Seas to ride my ship to corgul, if you dont we'll all have to get on a crappy old boat which would be very saddening as I like to sail in style :p

As for classes to use, the only point I have to make is no one really takes tamers to stygian dragon, Im not aware of any major reason for this apart from the stygian dragon just dishes out so much damage he kills them too fast, plus you cant stand near to vet. But if theres a good bunch of us which there usually is we should be fine. Please someone state if theres another reason why people dont use pets at Stygian.

Right this Thursday we are going to do Exodus and that will be all the peerless finished! Then we will do the trammel Despise dungeon with andros the dread lord and see what we have time for after that.

Now the annoying thing is the Exodus keys which are different to the other peerless, there are 4 keys. The Altar, Summoning Rite, Sacrificial Dagger and Robe of Rite. You only need 1 altar for the group but then everyone needs 1 each of the other keys. So for a party of 10 people need 10 Rites, daggers and robes.
I will be farming them for the next 2 days as best I can from Exodus Dungeon; The exodus sentinals, zealots, juggernaughts and drones have chance to drop them. Theres all sorts of strong nasties in that dungeon, I use provocation on my bard which is very good and effective and Sampires are also good at collecting the keys.
You can craft them but they are expensive in materials.

If anyone wants to help get some keys then your help is more than welcome :)

This is tonight! Might have to leave Exodus till next week though as I need more time to get all keys together. But we got plenty of other stuff to do :)

Thanks :) This Thursday we will definately do Trammel Despise and fight andros the dread lord. Last week Exodus took a long time so we didn't get round to it. If we get a good enough turnout we will also attempt the Labrynth Minotaur Champ Spawn!
