Plane of War rompage Thursday nights

[Xslia]

the last few weeks a few brave souls gather up to explore the Plane of War. The names in this zone are no joke - just as challenging as raid nights if not more so some nights!

We have an average of about 3 groups on Thursday nights - mains/alts etc. Yes the key issue keeping some people from going is flagging. typically on weekends or some nights before or after raids - people are working on flagging.

Why are we going.. well
1) fun. If you never experienced the early years of EQ - screwy pathing, fast respawns (like 5 minutes) - well here is your chance to experience it again! or for the first time. More importantly - spending time with fellow raiders/friends tacking some tough content.

2) SHINEYS! We all love shineys and some even glimmer !!! There is nothing more powerful then having raiders with COP4, COM4, COL4 - this are $$$$$ for raids. One of the best tanking augs comes from this zone (and off trash mobs in strife no less).

3) Achievements - for the people who have to get all the achievements they want ticked off - which includes getting the "hunter" quest done for the zone - which awards.. MORE SHINEYS!!!

We could use more assistance on Thursdays - and right now we are a mix of mains/atls and even people for other raid forces - it matters not what you bring if they are flagged. Most main raiders are after the circle clickies so the visables/non visables pretty much goes to alts (or should). There should be really no reason any main raider would need loot other then the clickies since they have access to raid gear.

What can you do to help! Well first do the running around for the first quest (posted on EQResources) for the Tithe's of War quest. Get to the "needing a diamond part".

Non flagged - only have access to the first area on zone in - where the diamond drops. (Diamond has a chance to drop off trash and is 100% guaranteed to be on a named). As bad as a boxer I am - I was able to kill using mage/shaman to get diamonds off trash.

Once you finish Tithes of War - you are flagged for Field of Strife and mines.

Now once you have access to field of strife, you will need to kill mobs (most people focus on pigs) until you get the Judicator to spawn. Typically it's around 30 kills but you will get 2 emotes - one about a "flapping in the distance" (yellow emote) and then "flapping is close" (red emote). Once you get to the red emote - when you kill a mob - the Judicator will spawn on kill - it varies from 3 to 20 kills after the red emote - we just have not been able to nail down the spawn details. Oh, did I mention that one of the best tanking augs drops off trash from strife - MORE SHINEYS!

The Judicator drops a "warlords blessing" - a person loots this and then goes to the castle door of their choice and clicks the door - once you do this - it flags you for that castle side. So you will need to kill 2 judicators to get a "blessing" for each castle door.

Make it KNOWN during the week you are interested and need help getting "x" part. There are times before raids/after raids or on weekends that people can coordinate to help you get flagged.

Look forward to seeing more in Plane of War on thursday nights!
