Leveling the Artifact:


Strategy:

There are 6 named you need to kill, once you kill one of them a 'charm' appears.

You right click the charm and it'll follow you around. As 'soon' as the named dies the charm will stay for 18 minutes, not one hour. So once the first named dies you have 18 minutes to collect the 5 other charms then take them to the 'stasis' point.

Because of the time limit, and the difficulty of the mobs even doing it with 2 full groups can be a challenge. The way we did it was, I would body pull the Siam-he's out of group.. and just run my ass off kiting them. Our Paladin would agro the named only while it chased me and kill it then move to the next camp. Each named has two adds attached to him that chased me continually until the named itself died.

If you get that far, Samut the named guy will port over and attack you. We did it with 2 rather strong groups, he hits in the 800 - 1300 range, can proc a very strong DD and double hits opun occasion.

The Siam-He's:

Each camp has a large amount of purple mobs, with the titles: Warrior, Warlock, and Preist. You can guess what each of those mean as far as spells.

The Different Camps:

There are six camps as I mentioned; Setau, Thagulsa (sp), Ausar, Kakhet, Neckbane, and Sethnor (sp).

Going in the order I beleive works best:

Setau : Pretty basic camp except these Warriors have a small chance to proc a 1000ish DD, I personally beleive you should start with this one for the fact the way it's setup it's /very/ hard to get the named without a large amount of adds.

(I died repeadtly trying to body pull the named out of the hut here) So it's advisable to start here, clear the adds out and then just pull the named and kill it then move.

Thagulsa (sp) : This may have the hardest actual mobs... this is the camp where they all ahve Sa' pets which proc a Heat DD. (Confusion is great on the Sa's)

Have your 2 groups stand fairly far away from the camp on the lava side and let your body puller agro the named and run. The reason you want your group a fair distance from the camp is the named has a tendancy to just sit in his hut and nuke if you're too close. Kill the named, move on.

'''Now you move inland abit, setting up at kind of the centre of the four other camps. Doing it this way also allows you the shortest distance possible to where you need to take the charms after you have them all '''

Ausar: Nothing special at all, very easy camp.. just have your out of group body puller grab the named and however many adds and kite them around while you kill the named. They'll stop chasing, grab a heal or forty then move to the next camp...

Kakhet: Full camp of Siam He-s with the Triple-Weild ability. They look really nifty but are about as easy as they come. Very easy to pull the named and his two adds here due to where Kakhet's actual tent is...

Sethanor (sp): Another camp of very easy ones with nothing special to mention, and the named is at an easy spot to get just him and a couple of adds to kite around.

Neckbane : This camp isn't too hard to actually pull from but you might get alot more adds then the last 3 camps. One thing about this camp... all the caster mobs including the named are Theurgists with a large affinity for Earth Pets. I died pulling this camp when we did it, due to a large amount of Preists near Neckbane's hut that nuked me down. Our Paladin was able to salvage the pull from my death however, since the named was out of his hut long enough for a taunt shout.

Assuming you have all six charms now and everything went flawlessly you need to boogy South (I think, I'll check the directions later and correct myself if needed) between Neckbane' and Sethanor's camps towards the lava edge. I don't have the exact loc but run between those two camps right to the lava edge, exactly opposite a small island across where you can just see Samut.

Setup fields, buff etc etc (The charms don't run fast) and as soon as the charms get there they will float into a circle and Samut will port over.

Kill him, loot up, look at the awesome non rog gloves he drops, ponder at +Quickness being on the caster version, and go activate Erinys Charm.

This encounter ain't easy.    Feb 25

After Samut enters the fray you will now have much more time to do battle with him. Samut's Charm effect will now always vanish after Samut perishes. Additionally, the charms will remain with Samut until he perishes after the battle begins.

 Once you start fighting the big guy, can you attack the charms or it doesn't really matter?   - Darko
 The charms were still not attackable. That's a good question. It was hard to track what they were doing during the fight with all the spells going off, otherthan that they surrounded him.   Jan 15

Tips:

Well, after 2 previous failed raids over the past week, my guild got this one done on friday night. We did the "kill box" method instead of splitting people into two separate groups. That allowed us to drop heal nodes and power nodes and maximize our power to drop the camp bosses fast. Our successful attempt had 19 people. Charm collection probably took 12-14 mins.

Here are the quick points of how we pulled it off:

Earth wizard did manual ground targeting to pull each boss. Adds were cleared first. It was the job of the main tank to yell when the camp boss was at 50% health so the puller could start the next wave.

We decided to set up our kill box in the ground between the four western camps. There tend to be lots of orange con wandering plebians in this area, so our first step was to clear as many plebians as we could. After that we had our perfecters drop their nodes at a point that seemed equal to the NW, N-Central, and S-Central camps.

Earth Wizard pulled the boss from the SW camp (the most distant camp from the drop zone) with gtaoe in his hut. Back at the kill box area, a shield tank engaged that camp boss while everyone else killed the adds that came with him. Good idea to have a rezzer midway incase the puller gets nuked to death on way back. At this point no bosses are dead but the SW camp boss is dancing with a shield and, therefore, the timer hasn't started.

Pulled NW camp (one with all the fire elemental things). Was a tough fight due to the adds and the caster guy stayed out of our kill box, but he was pulled out of his camp because we were far enough away. When all adds were dead, we killed the first boss we pulled (the one that had been engaged) and then took out the caster boss from the NW camp. The first 2 bosses were probably killed within a minute of each other. Timer starts.

Pulled North-Central camp. Get some priests but pretty straight up fight.

Pulled South-Central camp. Easy to pull, just lots of earth pets from the camp that are hard on pbt. Dropped him fairly fast.

Then we moved and set up a new kill box that was just west of the NE camp and north of the SE camp. Both camps seemed to be standard fights with no particular tricks. After that we ran to the dropoff zone and prepared to fight Samut.

I think it took our team of 19 about 30 mins to kill Samut (was a tank heavy team with a mixture of pallies and mercs). We also had 3 clerics and a friar, if I remember right, along with a smattering of other casters. The perfecter power nodes were a key to winning the fight because our clerics were kept extremely busy. I think every one of the clerics died at some point but they were there to rez each other. A few commented that they thought the dragon was easier.  The 1000 pt dds got our attention but it was the triple wield attacks that made the tanks scream. One merc was hit for over 2000 pts in one round. Especially with his 5% heal proc, it felt like climbing a mountain but everybody was thrilled to death when we finally dropped him. The mp gloves he drops are very nice (and vary by class). Thank goodness there was some good tank loot that dropped so we talk them into coming back. I think one pally said his shield went from 92 to 44 condition during the course of this whole encounter (including the camps).  Mar 1

Samut hits extremely hard even against max resist, is very difficult to hit without to-hit bonus, and the charms seem to give him a very hefty regen. It would take a very long time to wear him down, if you could even get past that regeneration, and he hits hard enough that you couldn't keep aggro off your healers.  Jan 15

The combined scrolls read:
##The Erinys' Charm reads, "Erinys is the most beautiful woman in Atlantis, I, and every other muse decrees. This charm she wears round her neck, these evanescent beads that change with every gown she dons, they were made for her, a gift from the gods, I speculate, for no other jewels in Atlantis do what these beads do, and who, upon seeing the beauty of Erinys, would not wish to grace her with a gift, the gods surely are not immune.Will you help Anselm rescue his sister?"

##The Erinys' Charm reads, "Ah, to be the lucky artist that painted the neck of this lovely creature, the one portrait before she was given the charm. I would love to find that picture, but it is hidden away by some secret collector who fears it's theft, no doubt! I can not blame the owner, but oh, one look at that work! It is said to be the most priceless!"

##The Erinys' Charm reads, "Oh I have been to dinner at the palace, and I have spoken with Erinys! Those beads round her neck, how they change to match her gown, and somehow I swear I see them in her eyes! Many women must envy her beauty, but just as many surely envy that charm she wears round her neck! Oh what magic it must posses, what power to woo men's hearts!"
