I'm mainly looking forward to buying and selling this stuff. the market gets very exciting in Velious.

I was there for Velious launch, although I wasn't into the raiding scene at the time. I enjoyed the ring quest series, although I don't think I did it until an expac or two later. Then again, my memory is shot and the timeline is all jumbled in my head.

How tough is it to awake the sleeper anyways? Do you have to kill all 4 (I think it's 4?) warders at once or something? Or is it that the last warder is just that tough to kill in the first place? I get that with the warders up, the keeper stays asleep, but aren't the warders killed as regular raid targets too?

I don't know crap about raiding in Velious, so just curious how it worked. I remember killing Lord Doljionoinoinoin, and a little in a wing of ToV, but that's about it.

How difficult is it to take down one warder? Are we going to see the same rush for them like we see for all the raid mobs currently?

No because you have to farm ST keys. Unless ST isn't launched when Velious is and it takes forever for it to come out.

3 of the warders are pretty much pushovers. The last one (I want to say Ventani) is a huge pain in the arse and took folks a relatively long time to come up with a strategy for originally. Now tons of people know the two ways she was originally killed so it'll be hardish still, but not "hard".

IMO the hard part about sleepers tomb is getting people keyed up for it. Sontalak, Klandicar, Zlandicar, Tormax, Lendiniara and Yelinak (I think that's all) all drop the pieces you can turn in for ST keys, but they're really spread out and in a high competition environment like this server, they'll all get swarmed immediately on popping.

Lord Vyemm in NTOV, AoW and the vulak ring are both harder than anything in sleepers tomb based on my recollection.

I'm pretty sure all 4 warders are of equal difficulty, as they are just the four warders of the sleeper. They don't have to like, be killed EXACTLY at once, but they all have to be dead at the same time - that is, before respawn.

Leaving one alive is merely meta-gaming (an intended meta-gaming, I'm sure).

edit: so as I see above, one is harder than the rest! I never did sleeper's tomb. I just logged in one day and my friends had logged me in and gotten me a primal.

whichever warder procs mezmerize is pretty much the easiest boss mob in game iirc

I only saw ST a couple times in its original state but I seem to remember one of them involved getting super shrunk and hiding behind a big step then popping up between the timed AE and either range attacking or jousting. I feel like dozekar also involved hiding behind steps with double shrink too...

So many bosses in velious blend together. I just remember my favorite times being being NTOV dragons for the first time, getting my cleric armor from PoM and how much i HATED plane of growth.

Vulak ring is not classic...

One of my favorite things that my old guild did in Velious was NToV. On one clear, we engaged the dragon that has the huge knockback. The MT positioned the mob in such a way that it blew half of the raid into the lava lake. I laughed so hard at that. Good times...
