Monk: Tackling Raster of Guk

[cor3nth]

Hey,

I'm at the point to start my Raster camp (I've got all other Robe of Lost circle components).

I've done a little searching on Raster's spawn mechanics and came across this old but rad site: http://www.castle-grounds.co.uk/eq/raster.htm

It basically describes and optimal cycle of letting the PH despawn at 8AM.

My first go at the camp I just aimlessly killed anything that moved near his spawn point.

Does the old mechanic hold true on p1999? I've read patch notes from 2013 listing Raster's spawn cycle as a highlight so I know its been an issue.

Basically I'm looking for the most effective way to spawn Raster on p1999.

Thanks in advance!

That method holds true here. By letting it despawn at 8am you'll have 3 spawns instead of 2 in a game day

Get a raid and kill Brother z.

This. Camping Raster is for chumps.

^ This. You could kill bro z for the robe but you could also be that guy who auctions for a port from EC to Lavastorm..

Im not sure how skipping a spawn that averages 36 hrs to camp and skipping a 10 min run are equivalent.

As long as we agree.

Time is not the common factor here, it's the experience

If that's the case, he should just buy the entire MQ completely.

It taking 45+ hours for my monk to get Raster, I wouldn't recommend camping him necessarily but back then brother z didn't drop a robe and I wouldn't have had the force needed anyway. GL to the OP, send me a tell in game if you opt for killing Bro Z and want an extra hand.

Ok thanks! I'm going to at least give the camp a fair shot - I don't mind a test of patience.

I play pretty casual, so a raid force is currently not an option. I generally exp with the same group of buddies and we are playing untwinked mains in the mid 40's.

Thanks for the offer! :D:):D

Update: Got the idol in under 5 hours. Wasn't too bad

Brother z one grouped? I have everything but raster and have invested 10+ hours there.

You can 1 group Bro Z - need 1 war tank, 2 clerics, and as much dps as possible (rogues/monks preferred, don't think spells land on him) before clerics run out of mana.
