Runes of Magic US / AU

Greetings to All US Server Guilds! Insomniac Guild of Artemis has finally put together a collection of screenshots of our World Raid Boss Kills for your viewing pleasure. All of these are Artemis server firsts, some of them we have killed a few times but have no dead body shots bc they got looted too fast to get pics, *cough* Shock *cough*, white item drops DO NOT count under Master Loot, all of these kills dropped white items at least, and only Harpy Queen Ayelo, Aisha and Spider King dropped more than just whites...

We cleared all doable instances like weeks ago, same with all World Boss Crown Elites, but never took any SS, thought it would be better to include everything challenging with the Aisha and Spider King Boss kills... We have yet to attempt Queen as there hasn't been enough lvl 50s willing to cooperate to do a raid... (idk why ppl are so afraid of debt, our guild definitely puts raiding and boss killing above any amount of debt gain from attempts... but its not quite a common sentiment among other guilds... i guess they are just waiting till we figure it out for them.. pfft they'll prolly max out their gathering and professions and their 2ndary classes b4 that happens)

First of all I need to thank Genesis Guild for merging with us so that Artemis could finally have a real endgame raiding guild, and we're also very sorry to all the other guilds we've taken players from in the past few weeks to form a well rounded group of excellent players to meet our goals.

Thx to ALL Insomniac Members that helped us accomplish these milestones!
Special thx to our healers with raid bosses, Netx, Shizume, Astraline and to the offhealers, Deathstriker, Emohero and Shock!

Thx to Giggitygank, (Insomniac Guild Leader) Shock and Lisper for hand picking these screenshots, and greetings to all the players of Artemis and thank you for your continued support.... k here we go in no particular order.....


Boedom, Leader of Wind Wild, (Tempest Heights) lvl 50 Crown Elite - Killed 01/19/09


Harpy Queen Ayelo, lvl 45 Crown Elite - Killed the patch day she was added.


Aisha, RAID BOSS, lvl 45 Crown Elite - Killed 01/18/09 (body disappeared too fast so combat logs will have to do)




Leeching Winter Spider King, RAID BOSS, lvl 45 Crown Elite - Killed 01/18/09


Loot from Aisha, these shoulders dropped with no rune slots, just drilled today, grats Lisper!


Loot from Leeching Winter Spider King, these gloves are post-transmute, they dropped as blank gear with 0/1 rune slots

The two RAID BOSSES Aisha and Leeching Winter Spider King took many attempts to learn the fight mechanics, Spider King gave us all about 200k-400k debt from the night we downed him, he is by far the hardest RAID BOSS under Kal Turok Queen and Ancient Dreamland Guardians (both we have not made any attempts at yet)

Again thanks to all of you who made these kills possible, especially for not dropping from the raid after our first wipe like that scrub healer Revitalize did, he won't be invited to anymore of our raids...

We attempted both Aisha and Spider King a few nights before their kill dates to learn their mechanics. On the night we killed them both we started with Aisha proudly 1 shotting her with 0 deaths... but the Spider King wiped our raid about 6-7 times before we learned how to manage the teleport and aggro resets he does under 25%. GRATS EVERYONE!

Kal Turok Queen, RAID BOSS, lvl 60 Crown Elite - COMING SOON:p

See this guy on the screenshoots called Netx? he's a legend.

legendary priest, i think he also got an honourable mention

Quoted

im there somewhere, in the back... ( crys )

Nope, I clearly remember ur dead body sitting right in front of all of us when we did the last attempt on Spider King and u "was not ready" right after u said "GO" and got 1 shot for standing next to boss:p

"IF YOU DIE TO AOE OR YOUR NAME IS RIGGED, JUST RELEASE & RUN BACK"
i'll admit u didn't get the record high on debt that night tho.

Well we haven't raided recently, idk why u have such a huge mountain of debt, have u been trying to solo Barrofar again?

Quoted

No, Mystic Altar got him. Bugged Aukuda ftw.

LOL, idk how u guys can run Mystic Altar like 24/7 for those set drops and not get frustrated by having ur game crash 10 times as u get to the 2nd last room... its the ONLY place in the game i've ever fallen thru the world during the final boss fight and had to rez all the way back at Frostwood without a mount.

once they fix that instance from randomly crashing everyone when u get to Aukuda I'll go back there and I'll get some screenshots of all the bosses so I can them add them to another thread with screenshots of the bosses in Paspar, and the ones in the tower instance in Ystra.

Maybe just 1 quick run thru for screenshots, cuz hopefully they will fully itemize Paspar, and when that happens you will only see me in Paspar

Quoted

question... why haven't I seen some of these bosses? Like aisha and the spider boss... i've been all over ystra... where the heck are they?!

Aisha was new from the last patch, u can find here in the first open area inside Winter Night Valley, in the first pack of Frostgloom Demons.

Leeching Winter Spider King can be found near Jerkace and also near the entrance of Winter Night Valley, he paths around in the area where the blue ice spiders are...

they are both Yellow mobs and will only attack u if you turn them red... I suggest that you DON'T try to attack them because they both have a very LONG range AOE cast that will most likely 1 shot anyone below lvl 50.

That reminds me of the poor guy that was farming Blue Ice Spiders and wandered too close to the Spider King's AOE.... at least he had a great front row seat to watch our progress from!

Quoted

And one question... does the spider's aoe hit everyone or just a certain number of players? When I tried to kill it was just myself and a priest which made us realize that potions + priest heals were not enough to deal with that aoe

u can see in one of my SS, we had healers healing healers, his spire aoe has a range of 200 and will hit ANYONE that gets too close there is no known limit...

Aisha was a walk in the park compared to Spider King who is more like bungee jumping with dental floss.

Also since u beat me to it, I'll have to post bosses from Paspar since I haven't seen any as of yet

These were taken from the lvl 50 instance, Paspar, enjoy:


This is where the Instance is located as well as the front gates,


Inside the start of the instance, this place is VERY tricky to pull correctly, SOO many patrols that chain packs of mobs together, I guarantee you will be fighting about 6-12 lvl 45 elites at least once or twice, so bring a legendary priest like Netx


1st Boss


1st Boss is no match for us, just don't get locked inside his room when he dies:p


2nd Boss


2nd Boss can easily wipe a group when he starts to portal and cast his aoe


3rd Boss, yes they can both drop stuff, and you're supposed to fight both together

This is the end of the Instance, sadly no SS of final boss, but here's proof we cleared it!

Once Paspar gets itemized it will be the best place to run many times for people who are near lvl 50.

Also Citadel (Cyclops Ogre area, currently closed) should be coming out in the future, I hear its also a 6 man instance with a RAID BOSS roaming outside in the Citadel Area... can't wait
