Something interesting to note...

The Plane of Hate

-----------------------

You can now access the Plane of Hate by talking to Relm M'Loch in the Plane of Tranquility and handing her a Fuligan Soulstone. *

-The drop rate has been increased for the following items in the Plane of Hate *

The Shattered Emerald of Corruption

Decrepit Hide

Staff of Elemental Mastery: Earth

Essence of Vampire

Eye of Innoruuk

I recommend we plan a day or 2 visit to PoH.

My Mage would very uch like a certain staff, and both mage and Paladin want to kill for marsingers.

The week after next will be Plane of Hate week. I will send my little DE mage to Neriak to stock up on port stones during this week.

Here is something I came across about Hate:

Guild Seofon - About Raiding Hate

Go to the link that says: "Questing in the new Hate" and click it.

The Table of Contents is set up like this:

Table of Contents

1) The Map of the New Hate

2) The Marsinger Quests

3) The Denizens of Hate

4) Pulling, Camping, and Quest Completion Strategies

Lots of great data there, but ESPECIALLY the MAPS

Look at those, get familiar with the mobs and what they drop, research the Marsinger Quests out of GFay.

Marsinger Gem Quest #4 - For all Classes - With links to the first 3 Quests.

Some good info here.

That is a great resource Rummy. I mixed what I needed together and printed out stuff, so I'm all ready for hate week. If you look on the map in the Tier 4 region and see where the Spy Master is (#2), that was where I was heading the other day when we were in Hate. Near there is the camp I was in for a month or so with a group of 65s, so a raid should be no problem there. I have parts of the 4th Gem (rare) and I do not plan on getting the 4th Gem, so I could possibly MQ those items for people when they get there.

The hardest parts of the Marsinger Gem Quest come from the drops off the tier 4 mobs - The various books, tomes, compendiums, etc.

Casters

Teachings of Innoruuk, Book of the Dead, Applications of Suffering, Gem of Conquest

Hybrids

Texts on Pain, Writ of Agony, Tactical Hatred, Gem of Heroism

Melee

Texts on Pain, Writ of Agony, Tactical Hatred, Gem of Victory

Priests

Teachings of Innoruuk, Book of the Dead, Applications of Suffering, Gem of Transcendence

These mobs are Tier 4 - usually level 65+ (Innoruuk himself is 70) and mostly require a raid to bring down. A Very good and solid group of AA'd 65's may be able to handle a few of these - I have only been in a group that nailed the Warlord, and I was not 65, and it was a hard, tough fight with 2 deaths; He (and the sorcerer are only level 63). We won, but don't ask me how.

Arch Lich T`Vaxok

Archon G`Uvin

Assassin Z`Jrix

Innoruuk

Maestro Of Rancor

Overlord R`Gahbsa

Sorcerer C`Gazin

Spy Master I`Kavin

Warlord E`Prosio

The Maestro is impossible without a really solid raid of level 60+ players.

So study up and prep for some fun killin'

I have Teachings of Innoruuk and Book of the Dead in my bank. I was in a group of 65s - monk/chanter 2 box, bst, me, wizzy, the monk was the puller. We did not have a hard time with the mobs, considering that the named in BoT are also 65. We took down all of the named in the Tier4 area and were camped near the Spy Master (who seems to pop faster than the others). We could possibly do this with a single group of 65s within the guild - Me, Rummy, Blackfogg, Crinthia, Granndolf, Tanisvan - but I'm sure it would go a lot faster with a raid. We cannot do it without a really good slower or tank. The monk was the leader of the group and even started a channel called "hate", not sure if it is still up and running though. He knew me before I was 65, but would not even recruit me for his Hate groups until I was 65. I maybe had 10 AAs when I started doing the Hate groups. I think last time I was there Shaddoww was still active in the guild because a melee gem item dropped and no one in the group needed it, so we ported up Shaddoww to get it - so it has been a while! I think part of our good luck is the camp we chose. It is an enclosed area on 3 sides, so it keeps people from wandering and bringing unwanted adds. I think there is 1-2 spawns in that room, but they can be mezzed or pacied, so adds should not be a factor if everyone does as they should. Well, I am excited about Hate week and am looking over my notes.
