Runes of Magic US / AU

It would be nice if the mobs were a little more spaced out or less in numbers so 10 of them don't get chained pulled and just run though walls and stuff.

Few minor things after 3 easy mode runs:

1) The clubs near Slogar (3rd boss) are SYSxxxx.

2) The quest About The Omnisoul Sarcophagus doesn't complete on easy, even though description says it is easy mode quest. The boss does not show red dot either, like you usually see on quest bosses.

3) This is not a glitch, more of a question. The quest Hostages, is it related to 2nd boss? We weren't able to complete it. The only other hostages we saw were captured Falcon hawks trapped in cages, but they were red mobs and attacked us, so there was no rescuing them. 2nd boss has a hostage NPC Captain something-or-other, but the quest text implies multiple hostages, not a single one.

my issue is with who ever thought it was a bright idea to have 3 aggro

OP mages... i will even lick his tears when im through

After boss 1, is the freeing the captain event a boss event? Instance seems to allow you to skip it, at least on easymode.

Also, mobs for captain event doesn't give tp

Yup protecting the el Capitan is the second boss, drops the Black Dungeon Secret Treasure Chest I think (not confirmed since I've never killed it). We did 1-5 minus the captain on normal last night, all of the strats seem doable but 4th boss requires pretty much the whole party to be real, super coordinated people, doesnt seem too realistic nowadays. But with a good party 3rd, 4th, and 5th can be burned with varying degrees of difficulty.

2nd boss I would love to see someone come up with a strat for. First phase the mobs can be killed super easily, wont be a problem. Second phase every time you kill a mob it gets replaced, and they aren't really tankable for the whole fight (on hard they wont be, anyways). 3rd and 4th wave mobs both need to be interrupted before their casts. And 5th wave seems to be like all the previous mobs at once or something? We tried things like barriering the guy but when barrier falls off it does damage and the ch/m pulls aggro and dies. So basically after second phase you let the guy tank the mobs as long as possible while dealing with 3rd and 4th phase and then bum rush 5th phase? Maybe a p/wl could heal the guy too idk. Would love to hear of any class combos im missing that could potentially break the fight.

we needed to bring a p/wl, d/wd and a d/s to do 2nd boss.

The gatekeepers and inquisitors are what you need to look out for. Those 2 start spawning after you did 2 runes. I know gatekeepers charge and do ~35% hp to the captain, and inquisitors hit just as hard.

1st two phases are pretty easy to heal through,
3rd still pretty easy since only 1 gatekeeper spawns every 10 secs or so.
4th phase more spawn and still manageable.
5th is really hard since 4 inquisitor spawn in pretty fast intervals and just dash straight to the captain, so i saved the p/wl heal till this phase.

I'm sure with lots of AoEs, you can kill the mobs faster than they spawn on easy, but we just ended up out healing the damage while doing the runes.

Mind you this is on easy, and i do not know how normal/hard is yet.

and yes it drops a chest to loot.

PS - also its nice to have the p/wl pull the person doing the runes, since at least 3 of them have a heavy slow when you click on the unlocking rune or w.e

When you heal the first two phases though, the healers are taking aggro are they not? Also good idea with the p/wl pulling the runner. Does the fight end as soon as you get the 5th rune unlocked?

The only problem I could see with your strat is that on hard mode if the healers pull the mobs they're gonna get wrecked, so the tank would have to tank them and im not sure how long an average tank could tank those mobs for on hard mode...

i didnt really pay attention if the healers were getting aggro, i was focused on the runes, the 2 mobs and pulling the runner with the p/wl. It was on easy so our healers were surviving the mobs even if they got aggro.

And yes, it will say Rescue Successful and the chest appears, but the mobs do not deaggo, so you'll have to kill the remaining mobs one last time.


Just theorizing here, maybe need 1-2 p/wl, d/wd, a couple ch/m, 2 tanks, and then dps preferably wardens since they got nice aoes and pretty good survivability. try to do the 1st 2 phases as quickly as possible without using heals on the NPC. then once 3rd starts, 1 ch/m blows up as much as he can and the 1 tank pops all defense buffs and grab as much aggro as possible to let the healers heal the npc, dps killing the inquisitors and gatekeepers.

4th comes around and prolly gonna have to use 1 p/wl and 2nd tank pop defense buffs and grab aggro on mobs.
5th. another ch/m and...tbh idk 5th on hard i cant imagine lol. It already hard enough to keep the npc alive on easy mode during 5th phase. we BARELY got it. probably 5 more secs and we would have failed.


we did try to have our mage stun mobs, but iirc, the 2 important mobs still charge to the NPC and do damage.

edit: omg is this where rattle and saxaphone become USEFUL

tried ch/m explosion, thing is the mobs from 2nd phase just respawn so its better not to kill them and tank them so the dude isnt taking damage. BUT i was thinking the aoe silence from champs might be necessary for 5th phase... not sure

did it on hardmode earlier, bring ch/m p/wl and kinda hope for the best in final wave when everything goes nuts

Did tank just tank the 2nd phase mobs the whole time?

nah we had 2 tanks, 1 kited the 2nd phase kobold mobs, and then the other was grabbing the extra mobs that spawned. Rly hard boss though, we wiping many times on final phase, but it was nice to have classes that i wouldn't normally have join, we had a r/s for example

Can you skip saving captain? or do the bosses enrage?
Time for revival of mage discharge rotation?

Get ch/w or w/ch

Its really hard to thunderstorm in Bone peak. Half the time the thunderstorm is in mid-air and doesn't hit any mobs.

Cenre how far did you guys get into bone peak on hm? how easy was 1rst boss burn?

Almost got third down, we expect to do third and fourth tonight atleast. First we nuked one and second was at like 30% maybe. Down 30 seconds later.

edit: and to clarify, by second i mean the second miniboss on first :p

Hi everyone, forgive my english please, I want to share our thoughts with you
second boss HM:

we just have tried almost everything i guess

we tried to kill 1st phase of mobs - that was really easy, but it's completely unnecessary when ch/m cast the shield on Captain only problem is with healing - it aggros mobs unfortunatelly...

we tried to not kill these smaller mobs, but kill the biggest - not an option at all. (every killed mob was almost immediately replaced)

we also tried to separate bigger mobs (they have some kind of buffs we thought that will help) - not helping

then, we did nothing at all ;d we just stood behind the boss and wait what will happen, everything was fine till mobs started to aggro on ch/m (casting a shield) or healer

next thought was using r/s with those 70 lvl elite, it helped, but that way we get to 4th phase only

we had only one tank (k/w) in a group and only one healer (priest)

we gonna try till we die! (god knows how many times )

if someone want to chat on pw, I heartily invite

just got to 6th boss on hardmode, bugged and event script doesn't start. Go figure, rw couldnt go all the way without having an ini working as planned xD
