Pasi's Top Zones to Train.

A few notes:
The best zones to train are one that have people in them. Whats the point of training if dozens of people are not witnessing the beauty of your train? Additionally, I've never been a huge fan of rez box training. Whats the point of training if you are not going to stick around to blame it on the asian guild that can barely speak English?


#2 - Velketor's Labyrinth
My favorite trains were not necessarily the largest trains, but trains that contained mobs that had absolutely no business being trained to zone in.

Velketor's Labyrinth is perfect for this. It is very easy to train Velketor to zone in. You can pretty much invis all the way to right past kobold village and then train through Velketor. Behind Velketor's throne is an invisible wall that is a one-way drop off to Crystal Eyes.

The train won't be massive, but it is hilarious due to the fact that there is absolutely no doubt that the train was intentional - no one accidentally aggros Velketor the Sorceror on the way to camp X or from camp Y. Due to him being a wizard, he's also not too deadly of a train mob so people can usually escape and have a giggle.

Spaceman on Project1999 - There was a time in Luclin where we rounded up something like 50 Kodiaks from the caves of Great Divide and 15 minute druid snared each one of them at the Velketor's Lab zone in. The druid snare ensured the Kodiaks would not path back. Then, one of us trained Velketor and castle around in Velketors. The people who chose to flee the zone were met by a sleuth of level 40 Kodiaks looking for a meal.


#1 - Bastion of Thunder

Bastion of Thunder (BoT) was probably my favorite zone to train. Two reasons for this. 1) It was the most popular exp zone. 2) The zone out/zone in was not the area people hung out at. There was a safe room where people AFKd because no one would conceivably bring a mob there.

A talented team of trainers would have one person round up the Earth Wing and Fire (Lightning) Wing and bring a 80 mobs to the 'safe' room via having someone in the saferoom heal through the ground then DA. While this was going on, another person would round up the Water Wing and train the zone in. The net effect was everyone dying with the zone out being even more dangerous than the 'safe' room. The beauty of it all was blaming a trap for breaking your invis and causing such a 100+ mob train.


In a time crunch, will add more zones later if this thread is still alive.

Pasi doing the lords work in later expansions.

BoT trains were the worst. Would also include PoValor because of those stupid blinding bugs. Shit was lulzworthy.

Had a pretty righteous train roll through Juggs last week from a crypt mob that warped through the floor! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I just noticed the "Dungeon" part of this thread's title.

I apologize profusely.

Has no bearing on the lulz so train away brother!

I also remember Ogres blocking the main exit to SolB and having monks fd train the ZI with Bats and Bugs. Usually only 10 but there would be a body or 6 lying around afterwards.

This doesn't compete with some of the epic planar trains or shenanigans detailed above, but I once made a pretty big train in Permafrost, quite accidentally. I was playing my ranger in pre-Kunark, exping with a guild group. We were back in one of the far reaches of the goblin area... I arrowed a gob and it ran the wrong way. I said something like, "that might be trouble..." and a good minute or two later the train finally found its way to us. I knew we were fucked and I just laughed as it came barreling toward us... even had the presence of mind to take a screenshot as I bore the brunt of it. The screenshot is long gone, but it always gave me a laugh when I'd stumble across it... just a wall of angry blue faces and flailing arms.

When that same ranger was a wee noob in Blackburrow, I formed the hypothesis that the "trains" other players were shouting about were an intentionally coded mechanism of organized counter-attack. I didn't yet understand that when a mob fled from you its agro would transfer or it would get healed and come back for another round. My framerate was pretty terrible, so quite often I'd lose track of a fleeing gnoll, give up the chase and attack another...

That necro that paths just above the double doors is a nightmare.

I once decided I knew what I was doing and tried to pull past the door when he pathed out of view. I didn't realize it until about 5 minutes later when brown skeletons starting fisting me that I had the whole zone on me. Tried to run but:

YOU have taken 240 points of damage!
You have been struck down by wrath.
YOU have taken 98 points of damage.
A Pedo'Val Gnoll beams a smile at Yumyums.
YOU have taken 344 points of damage.
You writhe in the grip of agony!

LOADING, PLEASE WAIT.
