Xmas Scavenger Hunt/Raid Info

Post#1 » Sun Dec 27, 2015 11:19 pm

Still seeing people ask how to do the raid and for Xmas clues locations, and rather than bump the post I made in 2013, figured I'd make a new one. Also copying/pasting the clues locations Puffda wrote in a post at the same time :) Happy Holidays!

You will need two casters that can spam Remove Greater Curse non-stop. Using only 1 seems to not have time to cast enough RGC's to finish the event (more on this later.) You will need a toon who's PRIORITY purpose is to watch for 3 emotes and click the gumdrop trees on either side of the king in the proper fashion. And you will need someone with an aggro spell (can be the person who originally tanked the king, as by the time you need to start kiting, the king goes invuln and drops out of combat for the remainder of the fight) to kite the mummies at the end of the event. NOTE: You CAN use the Shissar Empire Badge of Honor for the RGC clicks. It drops off any trash mob in SSra, and is almost as fast as a healer actually spamming the real spell.

The event starts by the tank engaging the king (rooted NPC) and spinning him so he's facing away from the raid (towards the wall that was originally behind him). Have the toon who has been delegated clicking duty already standing at the left gumdrop tree (left when looking at the king from the hallway you entered from) at the start of the fight. At about 89% he will emote that he glares to his left side, at that point, that left gumdrop tree will need to be clicked within at the most 1.5-2 seconds. If not, he will spawn two bears which can make tanking more difficult. After that power fades by properly clicking that tree, have that player run to the one on the right side. He will emote again about at 65%ish? (forget what %, just have that player looking very carefully), in which he will glare to his right. Again, click the tree. If the tree isn't clicked, the king's DPS will ramp up significantly. Again, have this toon run to the left tree, again, and prepare for the last emote, which will occur around 50% (I forget what occurs when this is not clicked, I think it may be another dps boost, or it may be more adds...). At this point, just full DPS burn the king. He will go completely invulnerable at 34%, so you may want to pull all DPS classes quite a ways away. Have your tank standing between your healers and the king, and have those healers spam RGC on the king non-stop. Every 3-4 or so casts, a mummy will spawn that will initially run to the closest PC, but use your tank to cast an AGGRO spell on it (they are invuln to damage, but aggro spells work great) and kite it around until the next one spawns. After the tank aggros the mummy, it moves quite slow (though they seem to move slightly faster the higher the tier event, or maybe thats just me.) You will need to cast RGC quite a deal of times, and you will get 5, maybe more mummies in that time period, that will need to be kited. But once enough RGCs are casted, the king is cured, depops, and you get your chest which you can /open for your phat lewtz.

just wanted to bump this post, took me a minute to find it and figured it would help others.

think we might be able to make a holiday quest guide in the quest guides forums? for xmas/halloween and the rest of them?

Wiki, please! Our wiki is already pretty nice and handy but including all the new zones (Citadel of the Worldslayer <cough>), festive quests, etc would be super helpful for new and returning players. We have quite a lot of wiki editors already but if someone is willing to contribute more just PM me for a wiki account.

Thanks for the bump on this. I originally stated the holiday event section in 2017 (WOW). This will help on the Christmas section for sure.

BOOM! Just like that a quick and dirty page has been started. Still need to plug in the other event bosses we have out there but this lays us some ground work.
