After hunting Shint daggers several months with no success, I see 4 of them on AH now. I talked to one of the sellers asking why, since there is only one dagger in game that is appreciably better - and it is Dim Light, dropping in hard mode KuBN. And, sure enough, him and his guildie got it.

Sure, it drops off the the first boss, but still, this means it is not just normal KuBN that is being run. He said the instance is easier than Tosh; not in absolute terms, perhaps, but relative to the gear level at which you run it.

Yes the AH on Artemis has several T11 shints, im guessing DL, PPK, or SJ are farming first boss for the dagger

1st boss hard mode is Zzzzzz.

Its the hallways before it that are hard. Boss itself is meh.

Go get to farming people.

Quoted from "SabreX;572052"

anyone that can help share the strategy for the third boss?

Quoted from "bilalab;572055"

that would be a bit hard... seeing as all the mobs, mobs' skills and even some gear in there has either no name or sys name so its hard to say whats being done by what and when. atleast thats the case in Reni on easy mode which we 3 man'd with just 2 mages and a druid so this is a good mem farm, a few good stats and a ton of fails farm too lol, for not really end gamers too

Quoted from "vfwiffo;571739"

3 man normal clear? That is not too bad. Video would be more useful is instead of aural assault by that horrible noise they provided some commentary instead.

Mechanics dont seem to be too involved, near as I can see from the video, HP's are 25m and 27m, mentos are 36 and 39, and it looks like stats are as messed up as far as being appropriate for the armor type as on Eoj/Mem pulls.

yea I am well aware of this and it's perhaps one of the main reasons why I have yet to successfully down the third boss (on normal). To be more specific the third boss starts the fight with 4 adds. In the back corner of the room are 4 items you can grab that will eventually respawn and give you a special action bar. This move on the action bar can only be used on the adds. Could someone shed some light on what exactly this does or how you are supposed to use them properly on the adds?
thanks

on easy we were able to simply kill them without aggroing the boss with our mages, u guys could try that. we once aggro'd the boss without killing them but were still able to kill them during boss fight so not sure what that extra bars r for. though that boss does a chain discharge thingy that has a really long range, i have to go all the way to the end of my range of healing spells to get out of that range, the discharge thingy doesnt usually stun just interrupt spell cast. though we were once chained stunned too but i think that was the lightening balls that the boss spawn.

i did notice the mobs had a buff on them, guess u could play the matching game on those buffs, match the extra bar skill that has the same icon as the buff lol
