Defeat all illusions, before doing any harm to Jakarashev. 

During this mission, there are four (4) versions of Jakarashev up. The 'illusionary' versions can be differentiated from the real one, via a 'Glimmering Illusion' buff they have on them. Before talking to the NPC to start the mission, you can run to the four spots and pre-determine which three (3) are the fakes, so you target them first.

Mean Streets: Cut Off The Head

021523

Do not kill any Thugs. During this mission, each the four (4) versions of Jakarashev will have two (2) 'Thug' adds with them. This one is hard to do. The best way, in my opinion, other than hardcore off tanking and healing, is...

• Have a Mage in the group.
• Get and re-get the mission until the 'real' Jakarashev (the one that does not have a 'Glimmering Illusion' buff) is at Spot #1  or Spot #3 (see image).
• Have all but mage go to Spot 4 (see map), with tank on Jakarashev, facing the Thugs, with everyone else behind the tank.
• Mage starts event then runs back to other end of bridge (Spot 5 on map) and stays there until you are on the 4th Jakarashev.
• Focus DPS on Jakarashev (avoiding Hot Spots). Leave the 'Thugs' alive, do not kill them (it is OK for the tank to do what they need to to get aggro, however)! Thugs being banished via slow is okay.
• When Jakarashev dies, the Mage needs to immediately call (summon) the group to the bridge, leaving the remaining 'Thug' where he is (this should drop aggro on everyone).
• Immediately invis and run to Spot 2 (no time to waste, the event will reset if you take too long) and repeat the same process.
• Be ready for Tiger and Illusion adds. Slow can banish some of the tigers, otherwise both the Illusions and tigers need to be aggroed by the tank (there is no need to DPS Illusions, they will despawn on their own... keep DPS on Jakarashev).
• Watch for the emote that Jakarashev has switched places, as the next spot can be either Spot 1 or Spot 3 (where the last 'fake' Jakarashevs are at... in short, don't rush in too soon ahead of the healer / tank).
• Repeat the process a 3rd time at whichever spot (1 or 3) the remaining fake is at.
• Next, at the last spot, the mage can run in with everyone else after the call. This time, Jakarashev's health will lock at 22%. At that point swap DPS to get rid of any Tiger adds until Jakarashev warps away to one of the other three spots. Be ready, as it is possible someone can be summoned by the 'Thug' that was left at whatever spot Jakarashev warps to. Get there fast and it is now a matter of survival, getting to spots ASAP and DPS... without killing any Thugs.

Mean Streets: No You Don't

121122

Do not let Jakarashev shift to any of his scatter illusions.

During this mission, fake versions of Jakarashev spawn from the get go. These are not the 'scatter illusions.' You can ignore 'a flickering image' adds that appear (off thank them, and they will poof in short time). However, there will be three (3) 'an illusion' to deal with and these are the ones that matter. Jakarashev, he can teleport to any 'an illusion' and regen to 100% by absorbing the illusion.

• Have three (3) capable pet classes, a capable Cleric and Warrior, and a skilled Ranger.
• Know the four (4) spawn points for Jakarashev and / or the fakes (see image, above left).
• At the start, have the Ranger aggro each spawn location and run the 'thug' adds back to Bridge (where you zone in). Slow will cause one of them to disappear, but you will have to kill the other one. Jakarashev should tether and drop from aggro.
• Do that three (3) more times until all the 'thugs' are dead.
• Next, wait for the real Jakarashev to switch with a fake Jakarashev (the fakes have a buff on them called 'Glimmering Illusion'), then attack and kill the nearest 'fake.' You want to wait so you have more time to kill the fake before any switch happens.
• The emote for the swap is 'Two of the Jakarashevs glimmer for a second and swap places.' They swap about every 90 to 120 seconds.
• Do this twice more so that the other two (2) fakes are also dead.
• You also need to watch for the 'hot spots' that appear (emote is, 'A hot spot appears.'). Everyone needs to get out of and / or avoid the Hot Spot, as it is a DoT Aura (you can see the big fiery ring). This will continue for the rest of the event.
• Now move in on the real Jakarashev and begin to DPS him. Be wary of adds that will spawn... 'a flickering image' can be off-tanked and will poof in short order; while 'a tiger' can sometimes be poofed via slow, otherwise you need to kill the 'tiger' adds.
• Give the adds 100% priority, as the group needs to stay alive, especially the Cleric and tank.
• At 45%, send each of the Pet classes to the other three spawn points to be ready to immediately kill 'an illusion' when they appear. They are high DPS but low HP, so send in the pet and use spells to take them out ASAP.
• Meanwhile, the Cleric, Warrior and Ranger need to deal with the real Jakarashev and any adds that appear.
• Keep this up until the real Jakarashev is dead. If any 'an illusion' are still up, you need to also finish them off (they do not poof).
• Now you can Task Add other Characters (that need the Achievement) as desired, before the chest is opened.

121122

Do not allow the Mutable Monstrosity to change forms on it's own. During this mission, the Mutable Monstrosity will literally change from one form to another, every 30 seconds.

The key to this achievement is to do enough DPS to force the Mutable Monstrosity to change forms before a 30-second timer would do so otherwise.

When One Door Closes: Hiding in Plain Sight

122222

Destroy illusionary creatures using magic, before defeating the Mutable Monstrosity.

Towards the end of the battle, a 'swirling dust' will spawn. If it does not spawn, slow down DPS until it does. Then use a Corruption Cure to kill (banish) it. If your DPS is too slow, you can gat more than one. If so, all of them need to be banished.

When One Door Closes: No Pole

122422

Do not allow anyone to be hit with Burrowing Spikes.

DPS is not the way to go for this one. Instead, slow & steady is the way to go. Set up camp at the edge of the room near the Task NPC and fight the Boss there. When the Cockatrice form shows up, everyone (except the tank) should turn their back and slow down DPS as not to be stunned when the form changes again (so you are able to run). When the Underbulk form shows up, be ready to run ASAP (a red aura will appear in the area, watch for an emote about "The floor shakes as things move underground near <Player Name>). The tank needs to drag the MoB to the 'gate' on the opposite side of the room, immediately, and everyone else needs to follow (to get out of the aura). Next round (same process), run back to the original tank spot. Keep doing this back and forth, until the win!

Remove the bonds from Grakaw in the least destructive order.

The sequence to get this one is to heal Grakaw, kill the MoB(s); then cast a cure on Grakaw, kill the MoB(s); then cast a stat buff on Grakaw and , kill the final MoB(s).

The Spirit Fades: Unscrupulous Liberation

013123

Remove the bonds from Grakaw in the most destructive order.

The sequence to get this one is to cast a stat buff on Grakaw, kill the MoB(s); then heal Grakaw, kill the MoB(s); then cast a cure on Grakaw and kill the final MoB(s).

The Spirit Fades: Thick Skin

021323

Don't be hit with the Slicing Energy spell while under the effects of Thinning Skin. (This is an individual achievement.)

When the emote is for you, immediately move out of any of the green auras, to avoid any and all damage. Run out of the room if need be (but not too far, there are zone trash MoB's in the zone).

Under Siege: No Dark Heart

122522

Always cure Dimming Heart. This is an individual (solo) achievement.

During this mission, pull Vius Vex to the opposite side of the bridge (near the Vah Shir NPC's), as she can cast a curse (Dimming Heart) on random Players (watch for the emote "The darkness inside you begins to grow."). When it does, before Vius Vex dies and / or the curse expires, those affected need to look in the back row of NPC's (the Vah Shir), hail and follow along with one of the Spiritist in the back row (closest to the building); or just say, 'Help,' to get cured (Player cures do not work for this).

Under Siege: Don't Blink

122022

Do not allow anyone to be hit with Blinking Shadows.

This is a DoT (400K DOT, 600 Mana DoT, 50% slow) cast by the shades you see flying about. Defeat the event fast enough and this should not be an issue, as they rarely seem to cast it on anyone.

Under Siege: Stop the Advance

122022

Do not allow any of the Shar Vahl to be killed by Zun Vyl Dyn.

To get this Achievement win on the first go with all of the Vah Shir surviving the battle. The golem (Zun Vyl Dyn) can do ranged attacks on them, but if you beat the mission fast enough, the Vah Shir should all survive, especially if you control the movement of the golems (they move in the direction that four or more of your group is located).

Shiknar Queen: Unfulfilled Curse

030123

Do not allow Hashiss' Curse to mature.

Starting in the second stage of this raid (after Queen Hashiss attacks), Queen Hashiss will debuff two (2) Players at a time, with the 'Curse of Hashiss' (3.5K Mana DoT). Always cure these Players (curse cure), to avoid an AoE (400K DD, -5K Mana, 10-second Stun, 1K Range) that can hit the entire raid. However, it also means the Player who cures them will be hit with 'Hashiss' Revenge' (-450K, -6K Mana, 2-second stun), which is better than the entire raid being hit.

Shiknar Queen: Undevoured

011123

Do not allow Hashiss to devour anyone.

In the final stage (after 50%), Queen Hashiss will emote ("Hashiss will soon devour <tank name>") and kill ('Devour') the main tank twenty (20) seconds later. To avoid this, immediately swap tanks.

Shiknar Queen: Undelivered Spores

020623

Do not allow any of the expanding spores to burst.

During the entirety of this event, 'an expanding spore' will periodically spawn, and have a green aura around them. Kill each and every one of them before they explode (they do not fight back), by redirecting DPS toward this effort.

Conqueror of Shar Vahl: Pit Fight

011623

Vanquisher of Shar Vahl: Pit Fight

Pit Fight: Unshattered

100423

Do not allow anyone to be hit by a Shattering Dart.

In the final stage (when all three bosses aggro), Giplik Unseen will cast an emote "Giplik Unseen aims multiple arrows." which will be directed at about three (3) random Players. Aura's will appear on the ground and everyone near them needs to move away from those locations before the arrows hit (they are a 600K AoE). A large yellow aura appears, so you can see where the effect is. This will happen periodically until Giplik is dead. To avoid the arrows landing in multiple locations as much as possible, have all but a good tank and a good healer on the other 2 bosses, while everyone else literally stacks up on the tank for Giplik Unseen. The tank for Giplik Unseen will then run north-ish is and south-ish as each emote happens (see map Spot #1 on Map in raid section below). Everyone must immediately follow the tank and get out of the yellow aura. Meanwhile, all adds get pulled to the main raid and killed as a secondary priority. First priority is moving back and forth. Killing Giplik Unseen is third priority.

Pit Fight: Run Runner

020123

Don't let any runners escape.

During this event, there will be ('grimling runner') that spawn at Hargil Bloodpoint. Snare, Root & kill them ASAP. Do not let any of them get to the cave (or you get more adds)! Watch for the emote, "Hargil Bloodpoint kicks a runner in the backside and it runs towards the cave." This will happen about every eleven (11) tics, but will stop once Hargil is dead.

Pit Fight: Stay Close

082023

Keep all of the grimlings near their leader at all times. This means no Grimling add can ever leave the aura around the boss that they spawn at... AT ALL (skirmisher = Giplik; warblood = Hargil & defender = Kyklim).

This one will take a patient and diligent raid force. (1) Raid force must stay bunched up on related raid bosses at ALL times, as noted below. (2) At start, entire raid run to the boss to the southwest (towards the caves) and get in the aura near boss and keep all the grimling adds in that aura as you kill them. (3) When last one dies, entire raid needs to immediately run back to northwest to the next spot (not far from the Quest NPC, close to the wall) and repeat same. (3) When that last add dies, and after the adds are killed that spawn in assorted locations, all Players need to immediately move to the spots in which their assigned bosses will be tanked and then stay bunched up on their tank at all times. Tanks will move each boss back and forth to avoid the arrow emotes (but still within the aura of said boss). Only DPS one (1) boss at a time (adds spawn every 5%) and keep DPS slow and steady. When an add(s) appears, turn DPS on the add(s), kill it / them and repeat until each boss is dead. Players at other boss locations are there to support their tank (heal, step in if the tank dies, etc.), but not to do any DPS, at all. You do not want any adds spawning at the other boss locations. When Boss #1 is dead, repeat at Boss #2 and then Boss #3 (suggested boss kill order: Kyklim, Giplik and then Hargil).

Conqueror of Shar Vahl: Mean Streets

010923

Defeat the listed Raid Event.

Vanquisher of Shar Vahl: Mean Streets

110523

Mean Streets: Waste No Effort

082823

Defeat all illusions you find in the city, before harming the real Jakarashev.

At the start, there will be four (4) versions of Jakarashev up. Group of Players need to be assigned to each location. Three (3) of the Jakarashev are fakes, which can be determined in advance by the 'Glimmering Illusion' buff they have on them. Attack and defeat the three (3) fakes before the real Jakarashev is actively damaged. In doing so, remove all types of Damage Shields; Proc Spells; Pets on hold; Do not DoT or Damage the real Jakarashev in any way, but feel free to DPS the fakes. Be ready when the real Jakarashev swaps spots with one of the fakes, as the roles at each spot can change from 'DPS the fake' to 'Don't Damage the Real One.' As a mote, there does appear to be a grace buffer of about 3% damage on the real Jakarashev. So, if damage to the real Jakarashev reached 2% from riposte and similar, tether it back to 100%.

Mean Streets: Cut off the Head

110523

Do not kill any of the thugs.

Do not kill any of the 'Thug' adds... at all. This will take a patient and attentive raid! The idea is for the two 'thugs' (the third will poof to slow, which is OK), at each of the four (4) raid locations, to survive the entire raid. This means getting them aggroed and doing zero direct damage to them (they will take some incidental damage, so don't freak out too much about that). To do this, a durable and competent tank needs to be grouped with two (2) Clerics and a Shaman. This tank is to hold aggro on the thugs and Jakarashev (or any other adds that show up like the Illusions and Tigers). Assign two (2) viable groups at each of the four (4) raid spots. They will stay there the entire raid. The 9th group should be a roaming DPS group. As a pre-requisite, drop all Damage Shields (this includes certain Illusion & Familiar buffs), do not use reverse Damage Shields and put pets on hold and and turn off pet taunt. Use the Empowered Banner / Fires and Tribute. When ready, start the event. Kill the three (3) fakes first (they have the 'Flickering illusion buff on them), one (1) at a time (send the DPS Group 9 spot to spot). Do not damage the 'real' Jakarashev, as if you do, the Tigers will spawn. Always, always move back and forth as with the tank to get out of the fires, but don't move too far as the real and fake Jakarashevs can tether and go back to 100%. Once all of the fakes are dead, start on the real Jakarashev. Do not burn him down, as this will make it easier for the tanks (and healers) to hold aggro on the thugs and pick up adds as they spawn. When Tigers spawn, kill them. When the Flickering Images appear, just get and hold aggro, as DPS is a waste on them. They will poof after a short time. When the Illusions appears, same deal. Hold aggro, they will poof as well after a minute or so (this will heal Jakarashev, but that's OK). Maintain this slow, determined process. The last set of adds are at 9%. At that time, stop DPS on Jakarashev until they poof. Once that happens, maintain aggro and no damage on the thugs and slowly take down Jakarashev for the win!

Mean Streets: No You Don't

010923

Don't let Jakarashev shift to any of his scatter illusions ("Flickering illusion").

Once Jakarashev is engaged (second phase), the real Jakarashev can 'swap' places with one of the three (3) fakes ("an illusion"). Don't let him do this by having at least two (2) or more groups at all four (4) battle locations, to engage and kill them before a swap happens.

When One Door Closes: Brutal Efficiency

050123

Do not allow the Mutable Monstrosity to ever (at all) change forms on it's own, for the entire raid.

This is accomplished by doing enough DPS to the boss, for the entire raid, to force a form change before a timer would do so, otherwise.

When One Door Closes: Hiding In Plain Sight

022323

Find and destroy illusionary creatures with magic before defeating the Mutable Monstrosity.

These are the 'swirly' adds that spawn six (6) at a time and then head towards the raid. Three (3) of them can be banished with cures. Make them a priority target (kill them ASAP) and be sure the last wave is finished off before killing the boss.

When One Door Closes: Arachnophobia

021623

Do not allow any spiderling to burst from anyone's corpse.

This is accomplished by using, ASAP, actual rezzes and NO calls. Corpses that lie about too long can spawn spider adds. Avoid having any spider adds to get this achievement.

Conqueror of Deepshade

042323

Vanquisher of Myconid Mutiny

091423

Myconid Mutiny: Crystal Crusher

091423

Destroy all Crystalkin using the vibrations of the crystal pillar.

During this event, 'vibrating' adds will spawn. The adds spawn right away, about two (2) at a time and continue to spawn for the entire raid. They spawn near the positions where the four (4) mini-bosses are at the start of the raid. Dragging them into the center crystal tower will kill them (they explode... 'Sonic Shards' is a 200 Range 400K DD / Toss Back). It's tricky, but this achievement requires killing all of the 'vibrating' adds in this manner... start to finish! Position the raid 225 range from the center crystal tower, and assign skilled Knights, particularly Shadowknights (they can snare), to kite the adds away from the raid, with a healer or two tossing quick heals on them when they are in range. No one but the kiters should ever attack any of the adds! Kiters need to run around the center crystal tower so that the adds chasing them will run up to and around the crystal tower. In doing so, the adds will take damage and explode. Killing The Choreographer first seems to help for this Achievement. When The Star (main boss) activates, it gets more difficult and controlled DPS becomes 100% essential (no pet taunts, pet hold...). Five (5) adds will spawn every 11% starting at 99%. So, hold back DPS until those adds are dealt with each time. Be aware that the last set of adds spawn at 1%! So after the 11% adds, DoT's should be stopped. At 2% to 3% call off pets, stop major nukes... and once the adds appear at 1%, stop all forms of DPS. The adds MUST be dead before The Star dies. Once the adds are dealt with, finish off The Starr.

Myconid Mutiny: Delivery in Full

060423

Let all the workers deliver their crystals to their supervisors.

As the event starts, Sporali ('a crew member') will spawn, about four (4) at a time, at each Mini-Boss. They will then walk to the center Crystal and chip off two shards ('Clear Crystal') before turning around and heading back toward their Mini-Boss to deliver them. Let them! Don't kill any of them! NOTE: The Clear Crystals can drop from other MoB's later, but more than likely this does mean most of the raid may suffer the effects for not using crystals to protect them from later curses.

Myconid Mutany: All That Glitters

022723

This is an individual achievement. Prevent the effect of the death of each MINI by use of the proper crystal. 

As the event starts, a series Sporali will spawn at each Mini-Boss, four (4) at a time. They will walk (non-aggro) to the center Crystal get two (2) shards before heading back (they equip them so you can see they have them). Kill them after they start going back. They each drop two (2) Clear Crystal. To get this achievement, you need to individually loot four (4) Clear Crystal, then run up each one of the Mini-Boss areas (into the Blue, Green, Red or Yellow Mushroom patches), to morph one (1) Clear Crystal into a corresponding Crystal colors (Blue Crystal, Green Crystal, Red Crystal or Yellow Crystal). Clicking these Crystals will put a 2.5 minute buff on you, which will protect you from the AoE DoT that happens when each Mini-Boss dies. So, be sure to click it around 5% - 10% of the appropriate Mini-Bosses health (Blue = Production Manager; Green = Head of Wardrobe; Red = Choreographer; & Yellow = Stage Manager).

Dance of the Demiurge: De-Illusion

042323

Destroy every fake actor with counter magic.

Every add has a weakness in the form of a spell that can used against them, based on their color. This can be seen by a color denoted under their names (see image to right). The 'fake' adds can be banished / weakened with the bane spells as follows: Blue = Mesmerize; Green = Remove Curse; Yellow = Run Speed Buff; Purple = Direct Heal; and Red = Strength Buff. To get this one, have Players that can cast such spells make a point of casting them on the MoB's of the associated color, for the entire raid. If all 'fakes' get banished / weakened, the achievement is awarded.

Dance of the Demiurge: Multitudes

112623

Allow the gods to create at least sixteen creatures.

During this event, after 50%, off tank one (1) of the blobs that spawn (don't kill it) until changes into one of the 'Deity' MoB's (Bertoxless, Bobcat Knife or Morel Tool). If you think your raid can handle it, you can allow both blobs to change, to speed this process up... but it does mean you will be dealing with as many a 6 MoB's at a time. Anyway, off tank the deity MoB(s) (do NOT kill it) and soon, it will spawn two (2) adds. Kill the adds. Repeat this until sixteen (16) adds have spawned and been killed. Once done, finish the event (you can kill the deity MoB(s) now).

Dance of the Demiurge: Altered Gods

101623

Force every god that appears to change color.

During this event, so-called 'gods' will appear (around 80-85%), named 'Bertoxless,' 'Bobcat Knife' and 'Morel Tool.' Force them to change color (there is a color under their name) by way of using the color related banes after they hit 50% health. They can also spawn towards the end of the event as a 'penalty' add (below 20% area) if the event is defeated in a certain amount of time. If any do spawn at that time, immediately divert to the 'god' add, DPS it to 50%, bane it and then go back to the boss.

The sequence to get this one is to direct heal Grakaw, kill the MoB(s); then cast a cure on Grakaw, kill the MoB(s); then cast a stat (Strength) buff on Grakaw and kill the final MoB(s).

The Spirit Fades: Unscrupulous Liberation

032923

Remove the bonds from Grakaw in the most destructive order.

The sequence to get this one is to cast a stat (strength) buff on Grakaw, kill the MoB(s); then direct heal Grakaw, kill the MoB(s); then cast a cure on Grakaw and kill the final MoB(s).

The Spirit Fades: Thick Skin

030523

Don't be hit with the Slicing Energy spell while under the effects of Thinning Skin. (This is an individual achievement.)

This is an individual achievement. When the emote is specifically for you, immediately move out of any of the green auras, to avoid any and all damage. Run out of the room if need be (but not too far, there are zone trash MoB's in the zone).

Conqueror of Firefall Pass: The Shadows Move

031923

Vanquisher of Firefall Pass: The Shadows Move

091723

The Shadows Move: Stave off the Shadows

031923

Do not allow any shadow bearers to expand the looming Shadows.

During the raid there will be an emote ("Shadows coalesce.") signifying the Shadows ('a shadow bearer') have spawned. Have pre-assigned ranged DPS immediately take them out, for the entire raid.

The Shadows Move: Unending Midnight

031923

Do not allow Midnight to return to Dusk and Dawn.

After Dusk & Dawn both turn into 'Midnight,' while taking out the golems ('a massive construct), don't let them regen past 50%.

The Shadows Move: Within the Shadows

091723

Never take Dusk, Dawn or their Midnight (name change at 50%) out of the Looming Shadow.

There are purple auras just in front of Dusk & Dawn, that you can see before the raid is activated. After about 2.5 minutes, Dusk and Dawn will activate. Tanks need to immediately aggro them, inside the auras, and keep them there for the entire raid. Tanks can position them so that Dusk and Dawn are in the aura, but the tanks themselves are just outside the aura. Placing Campfires to mark the tank spot is a good idea.

Conqueror of Shar Vahl: Under Siege

052223

Vanquisher of Shar Vahl: Under Siege

052223

Under Siege: No Shade

052223

Do not allow any of the Zakra Tetoracu to summon flickering shadows.

During the raid, there will be shade MoB's ('Zakra Tetoracu') flying around over the bridge. At the very start, have Ranger's continually root them until they come down to ground level and then immediately kill them (the emote when they can be killed is, 'One of the Zakra Tetoracu becomes enraged at all of the restrictions.'). Do this until they are all dead.

Under Siege: Won't-o-Wisp

071023

Do not allow any wisps to transform.

Progress the event until only Vius Vex and two golems ('Zun Vyl Dyn') are left. At this point, about three (3) (Wisps) will spawn at regular intervals for the rest of the raid. Assign a rotation of about five (5) groups to address the (Wisps) when they spawn (example Group 3 on the first set, Group 4 on the second set and so on, then repeat). When the (Wisps) spawn, the current group needs to run into the tunnel (near the Shadeweaver zone line) and wait on the (Wisps). When the Wisps arrive, The Players need to run near / around the (Wisps) to cause them to disappear and nullify the adds they would otherwise have spawned. It can help if pre-assigned range DPS keep the 'Night Fire' auras down (the aura stuns Players, preventing them from getting to the tunnel in expedient fashion). All Classes have some sort of 'Leap' AA, that can toss them a good ways, if not all the way, to the tunnel. Be alert for the time tegi adds (they die to mezz), as they spawn at the tunnel entrance.

Under Siege: Full Darkness

082723

Do not destroy any Night Fires.

Progress the event until only Vius Vex and two golems ('Zun Vyl Dyn') are left. At this point, about, other than the adds, 'Night Fire' aura MoB's will also appear about the bridge. Don't kill any of them, even though their auras are really annoying (they stun; mana drain; hinder Player efforts to get the the tunnel for the 'wisp' adds; and hinder Players getting to the 'Spiritists' for cures). Tank the boss near her spawn spot, only moving to one side of the tunnel or another to help avoid any 'Night Fire' that may spawn. Have a rotation for about five (5) groups that leave early (due stun delays) and wait on the wisps at the far tunnel, deal with the 'wisp' adds (run under / around them to get them to despawn instead of spawning adds). Be alert for the timed Tegi adds ('a centi dator,' they die to mezz), as they spawn at the tunnel entrance where the raid is. Mezzers need to mez them immediately when they activate and they should never be attacked or dotted, otherwise. When the boss ports away (this will happen about about 60%, about every 5% to 10%), focus on the add Golem ('Zov Vyl Dyn'), Vius Vex will come back on her own. As for cures, Players need to immediate action (starting moving right away); take advantage of the golems ('Zun Vyl Dyn') tossing them to other side of the bridge; use 'Leap' type AA's & Click items; find gaps to go around the aura's and so forth. The important thing is to get across the bridge for a cure ASAP. Getting back is less of a concern. Diligence by the entire raid is key here, really.

The Deepshade
The way to this zone was blocked by a large door in Shadowhaven, originally. However, once the 'One Door Closes' event was defeated (by anyone), the door was removed for the entire server, allowing access to this zone. In the event, you will see that the Door is (was) the Mutable Monstrosity (based on emotes).

Mean Streets

(Tier 1)

Shar Vahl, Divided

NPC = Sergeant Hujiid

This raid is in three phases.

Phase 1: Split the raid up with tanks / healers at all four spots, as you will have to fight at all four locations. The real Jakarashev will swap places with one of the 'fakes' at intervals (emote = 'Two of the Jakarashevs glimmer for a second and swap places.'). The real Jakarashev will health-lock at 2%. Kill the fakes and Jakarashev will respawn / regen to 100% and start Phase 2.

Phase 2: Now fight the real Jakarashev down, with everyone in the same place. As you do, two 'a flickering image' will spawn at intervals. They will despawn in short order, but tanks need to keep them from killing non-tanks while they are up (don't waste DPS on them). Around 45%, groups need to get back to their original position before Phase 3 starts, at about 35%.

Phase 3: At this point, 'an illusion' will spawn at the other three (3) locations that need to be aggroed and tanked. They can be killed, but they will 'poof' (get eaten by Jakarashev) before the next wave of the same adds at about 20% and then again at about 10%. After that, Jakarashev's health will no longer lock at 2% and he can be killed for the win.

• There are four (4) versions of Jakarashev in four (4) spots. Players need to know these spots (mark them on your maps. see image).
• Three (3) of the Jakarashev are fake. You can tell which ones by the buff on them called 'Glimmering Illusion.' The 'fakes' can also flurry.
• Each Jakarashev has three (3) 'thugs' with them. One of them can be banished via any slow spell (or proc). The other two will have to be killed. They need to be killed ASAP, before they kill non-tanks or the add count piles up.
• 'Tiger' adds will spawn, one (1) or more at a time (emote = 'You hear roars in reply somewhere in the city.'), in various places starting at about 98%, and continue to spawn at timed intervals.
• The Jakarashev (all of them) will tether and heal to 100% if they are pulled too far from their spawn location. You can move them around, but limit that movement to the general area (see arrows on image).
• 'Feral Fire' is an AoE (400K DD, 350K DoT & Mana Drain) that hits on a  pretty regular basis (a big red nasty aura on the ground, targeted around one Player, emote is 'A hot spot appears.'), for the entire raid. Move out of the Feral Fire ASAP, but only if it lands in the area you are in. The best way to this is to pull Jakarashev to one side of it's 'area' at the start (see map arrows), everyone stay bunched up, and then when Feral Fire appears, pull him to the other side of his 'area' (out of the Feral Fire). Repeat as necessary.
• 'Explosive Soulfire' (140K DoT followed by a 248k explosion) can also land on targeted Players. Regular group and AoE cures can help in this area (emote = 'Soul fire starts to burn inside').

Pit Fight

(Tier 1)

Shar Vahl, Divided

NPC = Sergeant Hujiid

There are three 'boss' MoB's in this raid: Kyklim Bonebinder (1); Giplik Unseen (2); & Hargil Bloodpoint (3).

Phase 1: Adds will spawn around Hargil Bloodpoint (to the southwest, towards the caves). Pull them to the raid (Spot 4) and kill them. Adds will then also spawn around Giplik Unseen (area of Spot 2). Pull them to the raid and kill them. At this point single MoB's will spawn around the area. Have stun classes keep 'a blacksoul' stunned and held in place and prevent skeleton adds, while everyone aggro and kill the other adds ('a blacksoul scout'), then kill the stunned adds.

Phase 2: At this point, all three (3) bosses should be in the noted positions and tanked. Each boss has an effect and specific adds. Pull the adds (except the runners, see notes to right) to the main raid force and kill them. Move back and forth at Spots 2 & 4 when needed for the 'Dart' attack (see to right). Kill adds as a priority, avoid the 'Dart attack, kill Giplik Unseen, then kill Kyklim Bonebinder and then kill Hargil Bloodpoint for the win.

• Position the raid at Spot 4 (on the map, to the left).
• Pre-assign tanks / groups to each 'boss' and have them pulled and tanked at the related spots on the map (1, 2, 3 on the map to the left).
• Kyklim Bonebinder (Spot 1 on image) has a purple aura that appears around him. Simply move out of the aura before the timer counts down, to cure it. About every 75 seconds, two (2) skeleton adds and one (1) 'defender' add.
• About every 70 seconds 'a warblood recruit' spawns from Hargil Bloodpoint (emote = 'Hargil Bloodpoint kicks a runner in the back-side and it runs towards the cave.'), ranged DPS need to snare and kill them ASAP. Do NOT let them get to the cave (more adds result if they do)! Hargil also has a 500K Stun effect (aura), but is only 50 range. He also has 'warblood' adds.
• Giplik Unseen uses an AoE area effect (aura), about every 45 seconds, that can land other than where he is (emote: 'Giplik Unseen aims multiple arrows.'). Move back and forth at each tank spot (see arrows on map) just far enough to get out of the aura before it hits (600K Damage). Giplik Unseen also spawns 'skirmisher' adds (they are mezzable).

Insatiable An Appetite

(Tier 1)

Paludal Caverns

NPC = Sharvyn Oresinger

You are here to kill the Shiknar Queen, Hashiss.

Phase 1: At the start, you need to kill a number of (waves) of Shiknar, with 'a cliknar nymph' being mezzable and 'an immature shiknar' being charmable, so focus efforts on the other adds ('a shiknar') first.

Phase 2: Hashiss is located at the dead end of a tunnel (Spot #1 on the map, below). Once she is active, pull her Spot #2, in the little corner between rocks and tank her there. Three (3) adds will spawn at Hashiss (about every 12%) for the entire raid. Kill 'a shiknar' then 'an immature shiknar' (see note to right about these) and then kill 'a shiknar aberration.' While 'a shiknar aberration.' is alive, Hashiss is hit point locked, so don't waste Mana... divert DPS to the adds while it is up. And don't kill it first so adds don't build up on you, kill the other two (2) first. Be attentive of cures, charms and the little mushrooms that spawn (see to right) and slow and steady will win the day.

• Assign a tank rotation for Hashiss. Periodically Hashiss will emote ('Unless her attention is diverted, Hashiss will soon devour <Player Name.>') and Death Touch (eat) the tank. Upon that emote, a new Tank needs to get aggro and take over as main tank.
• Hashiss regularly uses 'Furious Wings,' which is a 450K AoE and Silence. However, it has a 120 Range. Casters, along with most of the raid, should always remain at Spot #3 (see map, to left) for the entire raid.
• Hashiss also uses 'Curse of Hashiss' (a 450K DD, Stun and mana Drain, emote = 'Hashiss casts a curse upon <Player.>'). For this reason, have cures at the ready and / or use regular group and AoE Cures.
• Adds called 'an immature shiknar' can be charmed. Whereupon, Hashiss will summon them and whack them (for 25% damage) to break the charm. Charm them more than once and Hashiss can actually kill them, or they at least will be made easier to kill for the raid.
• During the event non-aggro (they do not fight back) two (2) 'an expanding spore' will spawn at regular intervals (emote = 'Fungal spores, attracted by all the vibration'). Always swap to and kill at least near one to eliminate the green aura ('Lingering Spores') from exploding on the main raid ('Reishicyben Spore Explosion is a 550K DoT, Mana Drain & Root).

When One Door Closes

(Tier 2)

Shadow Haven

NPC = Animist Khalan

When the raid starts, pull Mutable Monstrosity to Spot #1 on the below map. As each aura / emote happens, drag Mutable Monstrosity to Spot 2... rotating around the room (Spots 1 to 4) to avoid the auras. These auras are not good to be inside of (they can stun, root, increase the amount of damage you take, mana drain, and so on). Have the raid move as a whole (close together), follow emotes, kill adds when they spawn and avoid certain sides of the Bosses form changes when they happen... for the win. See notes to right.

• Never use calls on dead Players. Use actual rezzes only! Corpses that are left behind to long can and will spawn spiderling adds.
• The Mutable Monstrosity will change (morph) forms at timed intervals (every 90 seconds) or sooner if DPS is good (3%). Each form has an effect as noted below. However, each time it reverts back to blob, inherits one of the the abilities of previous forms. each time.
• The Mutable Monstrosity starts as a blob and can / will change (rotate) into various forms that include:
  • A butterfly (spawns Lulling Dust adds that will go after casters / priests, see below note);
  • A tentacle terror (based on if you are close by or too far away, uses a 100K to 450K knockback stuns);
  • An underbulk (rear AoE 550K DD & Knockback);
  • A dragon (has a DoT Rune buff, a frontal 550K AoE with an 18-second 350K DoT, and a 18-second charm.., see note below);
  • A spider (rear AoE 12-second blind, slow and can root, mana drain);
  • A cockatrice (has a 10% flurry boost and 20% rune buff and 20-second stun) as the raid progresses.
• If as player gets a 'lulling dust' emote (they look like a whirlwind, but are not aggro) (emote = 'Lulling dust begins to move toward you.'), immediately run south around the corner (Spot 6 on the map to the left) to drag it away from the raid until it poofs (otherwise it will stun Players).
• Six (6) Whirling Debris will spawn in the south room every 5% of the health of Mutable Monstrosity (area of Spot 5 on the map to the left) (emote = 'Dust begins to swirl and form into something that seems alive.'). Off tanks need to aggro them, kite them about (avoiding auras) while Players that can cure cast cures on them. Cures will banish three (3) of these adds. Take the other adds near the boss and have the raid kill them ASAP. Drag them along with thew boss if emotes call for the raid to move.
• When Players get an emote ('The monstrosity's single, bobbing eye, turns to you.'), they need to immediately run to Spot 6, out of sight, to avoid being charmed. You can return after the emote 'The single eye closes.'

Myconid Mutiny

(Tier 2)

The Deepshade
(Instance)

Shadow Haven
(NPC Zone)

NPC = Animist Soren

This is the first event, of two (2), that are in the same raid instance.

Phase 1: When  the event starts, a series of waves of four 'non-aggro 'mushroom men' MoB's will come in from each mini-boss's mushroom grove (see notes to right). Don't kill them until that start back where they come from, as all Players need one (1) or more 'Clear Crystal' that they drop (see notes to right).

Phase 2: The Mini-Bosses will walk near the Crystal where The Star (boss) has moved to. They will aggro once they are there. Have groups assigned to off tank each mini-boss. Drag the Choreographer away from the rest of the raid (west side of center crystal, in open area, Spot #2 on the map, below) and hold it there, due the effect it has. Kill adds as they come in, ASAP. Have the raid stay bunched up (Spot #1 on the map below) as AoE / Group heals and cures can save the day. Meanwhile The Star (boss) will devour crystals it takes from the four (4) mini-bosses, powering up for the final battle. Kill Production Manager, then Head of Wardrobe (it is now safe to bring The Choreographer to the main raid location), then Stage Manager and then the Choreographer.

Phase 3: Once the mini-bosses are dead, The Star (boss), will aggro. The Star spawns five (5) 'vibrating' adds every 11% (starting at 99%) and periodically, causes the center crystal to ring (adds, roots raid, HP DoT on raid). If adds get to The Starr, he gains 1% Health & 1% base damage. Continue as before, staying bunched up, AoE heals / cures, kill adds and DPS the boss for the win.

• The initial non-aggro 'mushroom man' adds will go to the center crystal and break off two 'Clear Crystal' from it. You can see when they do this as they equip them. Do not kill them until they have them.
• Each Mushroom man will drop two (2) 'Clear Crystal.' Be sure to loot them all of the final boss will 'eat' any left on corpses and get a boost (see to left). Every Player needs to loot at least one or more of them, depending on the effect they can block later, as follows:
  • Blue Crystal: Blocks Silence of Detrimental Spells AoE from the Production Manager being killed;
  • Green Crystal: Blocks Melee Slow AoE from the Head of Wardrobe being killed;
  • Red Crystal: Blocks negation of Root, Charm and Mez spells AoE from the Choreographer being killed.
  • Yellow Crystal: Blocks Silence of Beneficial Spells AoE from Stage Manager being killed.
  • Clear Crystal: Besides the fact that it can be converted into one of the colored Crystals above, during the final battle with the Star, it can automatically block (and get used up) the 'Ringing Crystal' AoE (preventing the root hitting you). If you have multiple (1) Clear Crystal on you, one (1) will get used up each time the AoE happens. Kiters would be the best Players for these. As a note, if an add into the center crystal, it will explode (200 Range, 400 DD, Toss Back).
• Each 'Clear Crystal' can be changed into the color(s) you need, by running to the spawn point of the related Mini-Boss at their mushroom patch (it happens automatically, areas of A, B, C & D on the map to the left).
• Crystals are Temporary items. They do not survive zoning, even from death and respawn... so it's better to hover.
• At about 5% to 10% of the health of each mini-boss, click the related colored crystal (see above) to be protected from their death AoE.
• It is possible for certain Players types to cure at least one of the AoE effects, from themselves, using their self-cure AA (i.e. Paladin's Purification AA).

Dance of the Demiurge

(Part 2 - The Deepshade)

(Tier 2)

The Deepshade
(Instance)

Shadow Haven
(NPC Zone)

NPC = Animist Soren

Tank Malthshisku in the area where he spawns (#1 on the map below). Set-up the main raid force in to the north (area of Spot 2 on the map below).

Phase 1: Five (5) adds spawn all of which have an aura effect: Lethargic Mass (Red - roots and prevents heals / attacks via Invulnerability); Impairing Mass (Green - reduces stats); Wearying Mass (Purple - reduces Mana & Hit Points); Serene Mass (Yellow - can Mezz Players); & Energetic Mass (Blue - adds Attack and Move Speed to the other Masses, tank it away from other adds). There will also be emotes to follow, for most of the entire raid, or the raid can be wiped. See notes to right.

Phase 2: Malthshisku becomes active. Four (4) adds will spawn at intervals... 'an enthusiastic understudy' (face away from raid); 'a season performer' (put it's back to a wall, away from main raid if possible); and 'a thespian'. The one that has two (2) versions spawn, one (1) of them is a 'fake' and can be banished via their Bane Weakness (see notes to right).

Phase 3: 'Gods' Spawn, to include 'Bertoxless;' 'Bobcat Knife;' & 'Morel Tool.' They can change to a different color before they die.

Phase 4: Malthshisku goes inactive at 50% and three (3) waves of multiple adds (aka 'multitudes'). They can include 'a flogrok' (face away from raid); 'a fly girl; 'a shill skin;' and 'an elder elf.'

Phase 5: Malthshisku reactivates after the adds, above, are dead. The 'Gods' spawn again.

Phase 6: After 30% Lethargic Mass starts to respawn every 90-seconds and can turn into one of the 'Gods' at random. Other of the same previous adds can also spawn every 2 minutes. Malthshisku, when below 10%, will 'eat' a random add and regen back to 12%. Malthshisku will health lock at 2% if an add is still alive. Kill the adds and then Malthshisku for the win.

• Pretty much all adds and the boss have Bane Weaknesses in this event. The Bane Weakness is related to the color under their name. See image to far left.
• Assign certain classes / Players to immediately cast the related Bane on the adds, when they appear. They are: Blue: Mezz; Green: Remove Curse; Purple; Direct Heal; Red: Strength Buff; Yellow: Run Speed Buff.
• Malthshisku can, and will, change colors for the duration of the raid.
• These weaknesses are essential to take advantage of, as they can even banish an add and / or reduce their effects (auras). Killing adds is more important than DPS to Malthshisku. Always deal with adds first!
• Detrimental effects are non-stop. Players need to obey emotes ASAP or threaten to wipe the raid. Both Malthshisku and certain adds can cast these effects.
• Targeted Player(s) need to immediately run away from the raid (see arrows on the map to the left), upon the following emotes (and stay away until the effect is gone): 
  • 'All Was Darkness' (50 Range AoE, 4.5K Mana Drain DoT, 300K HP DoT and Blind) (emote = 'The Darkness of pre-creation gathers around <Player Name(s)>');
  • 'Create, The Destroy (causes Players to explode / AoE for 500K Damage) (emote = 'The power of destruction surrounds <Player Name>');
  • 'Spore Contagion' (45 Range 390K HP Viral Dot) (emote = 'Contagious spores attach to <Player Name(s)>').
  • 'Elemental Blast' (40-Range 550k AoE) (emote = 'Summons energies around <Player Name(s)>').
  • 'Mind Break' (40-Range 12k AoE Mana Drain) (emote = 'Summons energies around <Player Name(s)>').
  • 'Entangling Ground' (AoE 120K DoT and Root) (emote = 'Roots begin to sprout under <Player Name(s)>').
• 'Decay Begins at Creation' (500K HP DoT, 8.5k Mana DoT). When this happens (emote = 'Decay begins to overtake <Player Name(s)>'), Cures should be cast ASAP (i.e. Paladin Splash).
• There are other detrimental effects, but the above are the most important ones.

The Spirit Fades

(Tier 3)

Darklight Caverns
(Instance)

The Deepshade
(NPC Zone)

NPC = a spirit messenger 

You are here to 'cure' (or rescue) Grakaw, which involves killing three (3) Mini-Bosses that basically possess him. You bring them out one (1) at a time, using a certain type spell on Grakaw (noted below). While you can bring them out in any order, the 'easiest' order is noted below (any other order can make the event harder). Defeating the third mini-boss (no matter the order), wins the event.

SET UP: Have everyone shrink and position and bunch up the entire raid south corner behind and and east-ish of Grakaw. The entire raid, except as noted below, will stay here for the entire event.

Phase 1: The Demonstrated Depletion (a leech) is released by casting most any single target heal on Grakaw. Have the main tank pull him to the east / north side of the room (Spot A on the map below). ONLY the Main tank will move. Everyone else will use ranged attacks while healers use Direct Heals. About every 70 Seconds a 'Seething Energy,' aura spawns. The Main tank will simply move back and forth from Spot A to Spot B to avoid the Seething Aura. DPS until it's dead.

Phase 2: Weakness Evinced (a devourer) is released by casting most 'Remove Greater Curse' on Grakaw. Fight him at Grakaw. Only the Players who are called out for Thinning Skin, when the aura is at Grakaw, need to move (see notes to right).

Phase 3: Manifest Lethargy (a gumdrop blob) is released by casting most any strength buff on Grakaw. Tank it right there at Grakaw. As you fight, three (3) 'lesser' gumdrop adds will spawn about every 10%. Divert DPS to kill them ASAP when they appear (see notes to right). At (40%) Manifest Lethargy will split into two (Manifest Apathy & Manifest Drowsiness). Only one add will spawn (from each Boss) every 10% now. Kills adds first, but otherwise focus on killing Manifest Apathy and then Manifest Drowsiness. See notes to right.

• Positioning the raid as noted to the left, so long as everyone is shrunk and remains in that corner, should avoid the Seething Energy all together.
• During the battle with Demonstrated Depletion, it will emote about sending energy somewhere. Because of where the raid is positioned, the only two that are of concern are, 'Weakness Evinced sends energy at Grakaw.' & 'Weakness Evinced sends energy at Grakaw and the great spirits.' These mean the 'green aura' will land around Grakaw and is easily seen. However, only the Players who get the emote ''Your skin grows thin and dry.' need be concerned. If a Player gets the emote and the green aura is at Grakaw, they need to immediately run to the tunnel (Spot 2 on the map to the left) until the aura goes away.
• During the Manifest Lethargy battle, the Lesser Lethargy adds can be mezzed (kill them last). Kill Lesser Manipulation first, then Lesser Depletion then Lesser Weakness.. depending on which adds spawn. Be sure to assist and kill while tanks off tank the others. If they don't die fast enough, they can trigger a detrimental effect.
• After Manifest Lethargy splits into Manifest Apathy and Manifest Drowsiness, kill one or the other, do not DPS both. This will avoid adds spawning from both of them. After one of the splits is dead and the other is at 40% to 60%, depending on your raids DPS / Burn ability, you may consider burning the last one down while off tanking the adds (the adds will poof once it is dead).

Under Siege

(Tier 3)

Shar Vahl, Divided

NPC = Sergeant Hujiid

Phase 1: At the start, the Vius Vex and her minions are on the south side of the bridge (area of Spot A on the map below). On the north side of the bridge are your allies, the Vah Shir (area of Spot B on the map below). Some shades are also flying about overhead.

• Once the event starts, the entire back row of Akhevans ('Zun Centien') activate. Tanks need to get immediate aggro and hold them as they are killed one at a time.
• Meanwhile, the raid should primarily focus on killing all but two (2) of the golems ('Zun Vyl Dyn,' see notes to right) and then help kill the Akhevans.
• After the back line of Akhevans die, the next line of Akhevans ('Zun Zethon Vius') will all activate. Deal with them in the same manner.
• As the second wave of Akhevans are being dealt with, Paladins need to Splash about 12-seconds after each curse emote ('Light begins to gather around'). Failed Splashes mean a 36-second AoE Blind, 400K / 15K Mana Drain DoT.
• Meanwhile, assigned rangers are dealing with the Shades (see notes to the right), and the raid is killing them when they drop to the ground.

Phase 2: As the second set of Akhevans are dying, if DPS is good enough, you can have them all dead before Vius Vex becomes active, but don't be surprised if this happens while a couple of them are still alive.

• If any Akhevans are still alive when Vius Vex activates, off-tank Vius Vex until the Akhevans are dead.
• Once the Akhevans are dead, drag Vius Vex to the center / west side of the bridge (Spot 1 on the map below). This will be the primary raid spot for the rest of the raid.
• Centi ('a centi dator') adds will now begin to spawn (four at a time) for the rest of the raid. They spawn at the south end of the bridge (Spot 2 on the map below). Emote: 'Several thin, reedy voices shout a war cry.'). See notes to right on dealing with them.
• 'Will-O-Wisps' adds will periodically spawn near Vius Vex (for the rest of the raid) and head towards the south tunnel and need to be despawned or more adds will result (see notes to right).
• Vius Vex will cause 'Night Fire' auras to appear all about the bridge. Being in one of these auras is a 12-second stun and 12K Mana Drain. See notes to right on dealing with them.
• Players will be targeted with a 'Darkening Heart' curse (Emote: 'The darkness inside you begins to grow.'). They must get cured by an 'Spiritist' NPC ASAP, or likely die (see notes to right) and also spawn an 'Inner Shadow' add, that can heal Vius Vex as long as it is alive.
• Adds, 'a shadow master' will get added to the mix, spawning at intervals, as the battle goes on. They are undead and aren't overly difficult to kill.
• After a point (about 60%), Vius Vex will go off aggro (Emote: 'Vius Vex fades into the shadows and reappears in darkness.') and run off / port away to one side of the bridge or another. This will happen more than once (about every 5% to 10%). The tank needs to get aggro back on Vius Vex and drag her back to the center-west bridge tank spot.
• At the same time this happens, Vius Vex will also spawn a non-aggro mini-golem ('Zov Vyl Dyn'), that needs to be killed by ranged / pet / nukes ASAP (it knocks back Players and paths about towards Vius Vex).
• Keep this up for the win.

• Plant Banner / Campfires at the center-west side of the Bridge before starting the event, as a point of reference. See Spot 1 on the Map to the left.
• The golems ('Zun Vyl Dyn') all have an aura around them. If you make contact with the aura, you will be tossed towards the other side of the bridge. This can be useful as a quick way to get back to the other side of the bridge for a cure (see notes, below). The aura around the golem will temporarily fade before reactivating again.
• However, the raid should immediately kill (Phase 1) all but the two of the golems (leave the two on the most east side of the bridge alive). This provides Players an avenue free of the golems, while leaving two up if Players need a quick toss over to the Vah Shir area).
• The golems tend to move towards where ever the most Players are gathered. However, they do not move out of their original 'lane' or row (they move back and forth in a straight line).
• The golems can use ranged attacks and can kill your Vah Shir allies. If they do, the event is lost. However, this is not likely if you fight in the middle of the bridge as noted herein.
• Sergeant Hujiid (Raid NPC) is in the zone (Spot C on the map top the left). Talk to him and you can leave the zone or get transported up into a tower (above the city gate, spots D & E on the map to the left).
• At least two pre-assigned Ranger's need to go up in the towers at the start, until the shades are dead. Their job will be to root / snare the shades (Zakra Tetoracu) flying about until they land on the bridge and can be aggroed (Emote: 'One of the Zakra Tetoracu becomes enraged'), pulled to the raid and killed. Do this until they are all dead (in Phase 1). Making sure they are dead eliminates their Flickering Shadows DoT (12-second 150K DoT, Silence, Mana Drain, Snare & Slow).
• The centi adds ('a centi dator') die to mezz, so mezz and re-mezz until they are dead. They lose 5% health per tick while mezzed. Do not attack / DoT them, otherwise!
• Pre-assigned about 4 or 5 groups as 'wisp' groups. One of these groups (in a rotating sequence) will run into the south tunnel (Spot 3 on the map to the left) immediately after non-aggro Will-O-Wisp spawn (they spawn near Vius Vex). Emote: 'Vius Vex summons orbs of light and darkness.'
• Be alert for any Centi adds that may have spawned at the tunnel entrance!
• Each group, when it's their turn, will wait in the tunnel until the Will-O-Wisp arrive. When they do, an aura will appear around them and the members of that group need to run about around / under the Will-O-Wisps to cause them to despawn without spawning any adds.
• The sequence of groups is necessary because there is a delay / timer before the same Player can despawn a Will-O-Wisp again.
• Failure to despawn any Will-O-Wisp will cause adds ('a mischievous shadow') that will then have to be dealt with (they aren't overly hard to kill).
• The 'Night Fire' auras can be targeted and killed. Ranged / Pet classes should kill them ASAP (assign a main assist) to reduce how many are up and reduce their mana drain / stun as much as possible, better allowing Players freedom of movement in dealing with the Will-O-Wisp (see above) and cures (see below).
• If a Player is hit with the 'Darkening Heart' curse, they must run to the Vah Shir (Spot B on the map to the left), target anyone of the 'Spiritist' in the back row, and say 'Help.' Failed cures results in a 36-second 400K / 15K Mana DoT. It also spawns an 'Inner Shadow' add that the raid will then need to deal with (they have a level of HP to them and can heal Vius Vex).

Shadows Move

(Tier 3)

Firefall Pass
(Instance)

Shar Vahl, Divided
(NPC Zone)

NPC = Sergeant Hujiid

Phase 1: The event starts by a few waves of Centi adds spawn and run at the raid. They can be mezzed, so mezz and focus DPS on them one (1) at a time for faster kills. The Centi will continue to spawn most of the raid. Deal with them as noted. Emote: 'Small creatures rush forward out of the tunnel.'

Phase 2: After a few Centi waves, Dusk (starts at low health) & Dawn (starts at full health) will activate (Emote: 'Dusk and Dawn awaken and begin to move.'). Tank Dawn at Spot B (on the map below). Have a couple of good groups take Dusk to Spot C (on the map below) and tank it there. There are emotes Players must obey or threaten to wipe the raid (see notes to right). There will be some non-aggro 'shadow bearer' (shades) that spawn about every 90-seconds (see notes to right). Meanwhile, the idea is to fight Dawn down to 50% while casting (Charm? Mez?) on Dusk, until it temporarily goes off aggro. While it is off aggro, healers need to cast heals on it.

Phase 3: Once both Dawn & Dusk get to 50% health, they will both morph into Midnight (see notes to right). At this point, they must both be DPS'ed, but they must be kept within 3% health of each other. Meanwhile, adds and emotes are still in play, to include the four 'a massive construct' that will activate individually. Try to kill each 'a massive construct' ASAP, at Dawn, before the next one becomes active.

Phase 4: At about 20%, Aura's will begin spawn around Dusk & Dawn (aka Midnight, Emote: 'Midnight starts to form looming shadows.'). When it happens, the tanks need to move their bosses back and forth out of the auras (see arrows at Spot B & C on the map below). Once they are both dead, you win!

• Essentially, all of the event MoB's are already spawned, along the north wall and in the cave, waiting their turn to activate (Spot A and the arrows on the map to the left). You may also notice two large aura's around Dusk and Dawn. The Aura's stay in place unless certain adds aren't dealt with ASAP (see below).
• Have the raid set up, initially, at Spot B, on the map to the left.
• Assign a ranged (Ranger) force set up at Spot D (on the map to the left) and immediately snare and range kill the 'shadow bearer' adds. They spawn in the aura around Spot A on the map to the left. If any of them get out of the purple aura, the auras can advance (get bigger, move southwards), which is not good (inhibits spells and melee). Emote: 'Shadows coalesce.'
• One emote ('Your sun rises, painfully bright. Less so if you stay at Dawn.') requires that you 'hug' Dawn. If you get it, immediately run up beside Dawn to cure it (Emote: 'You stopped your Sun from rising'). Fail this and its a 95% slow and 90% Interruption rate on spells, 77K Mana Drain & an AoE 250 DD, as well as healing Dawn. Most of the raid should be at / near Dawn anyway.
• If you get another emote ('Your sun begins to set.'), immediately run south (see arrow E on the map to the left) until it cures itself (Emote: 'Your sun sets.'), then you can go back to the raid. Failure can wipe the raid (95% slow, 90% Interruption rate on spells, Snare & an AoE Blindness, 650K DD DoT, 4K Reverse DS, 150K DD and 150K Mana Drain).
• Once both Dawn & Dusk become Midnight, their real names are still visible in parentheses above their heads. They must be kept within 3% Health of each other, for the rest of the raid. Fail to do so and they will revert back to Dawn & Dusk and you will have to get them both ack to 50% again, in order to turn them both back into Midnight.

Night of Shadows

With a sudden rumble and roar, Norrath and Luclin are on the verge of absolute, explosive chaos. Rumors of an imprisoned Great Spirit have begun to spread. Meanwhile, as other factions reclaim their territories further enraging their counterparts, one particular clan is on the verge of outright panic. With Shadow Haven in ruins, Shar Vahl in complete turmoil, and the recent earthquake that opened a pass in Firefall, things are looking dire and bleak. Everything is putting the entire world at risk, and the call for heroes and heroines to step up is imminent.

According to shadowy voices, the key to surviving the unfolding events will be you. But how will any meddling in the affairs of the Great Spirits prevent all-out war? What happened to all the animal spirits that were sent to Luclin and how does that affect what is about to go down?

Firefall Pass

The anguished roar of a mighty beast has caused a ground-shattering earth(moon?)quake on Luclin, leaving destruction in its wake. Firefall Pass was once a precarious, mountainous climb through Luclin, but the earthquake was tremendous enough to shatter one of its great mountains completely in two. Though Firefall Pass remains incredibly dangerous, the new path has made it easier for skilled adventurers to trudge across the area.

With their habitat in disarray, the inhabitants of Firefall Pass are hyperaggressive. Saureks, underground insects, and very angry birds once living on top of the mountain, now fight for territory. The quake has also attracted a band of Akheva investigating the wreckage.

Shar Vahl, Divided

Since the time Shar Vahl was rediscovered by adventurers, it has grown and prospered with the re-established connection to Norrath. The city has built upwards, and all has seemed well.

However, recently that hasn't been the case. Once a society that communed with all the spirits, under the Feral One, the people have splintered. The trade lines with Shadow Haven have become interrupted. Some division has been by spiritual paths, others by social constructs, and other citizens have simply become inhospitable in general. The prosperous Vah Shir city has become a shadow of its former self.

Shadow Haven

What is behind the locked door has finally been revealed, but with the revelation came disaster. An enormous spirit creature resembling a giant owlbear rampaged through Shadow Haven, leaving destroyed buildings and many dead in its wake.

Enough time has passed for the residents to clean up, move residences, and put in temporary repairs. To the residents additional detriment Fungal creatures have invaded from Paludal caverns.

Shadeweaver's Tangle

The power from the Akheva continues to grow, expanding into the rest of the surface of Luclin. The Akheva-corrupted Shak Dratha have largely won the tribal war against the Gor Taku, and have taken over the cavern system lying beneath the Thicket. They have sacrificed or run out the remaining poachers in the cave, and taken over.

With the Gor Taku out of the picture, the Loda Kai have begun to scramble, and the Firefall denizens have been more active and traveling out into the Shadeweaver's Thicket to rile things up.

Paludal Depths

The recondite bandits who used to call this cave their home have not left the caves and found a new way to make money. Bellweather, the newest leader of the bandits, has started using more aggressive means, but that hasn't all been well received amongst the bandits. She will have to work extra hard to prove herself. Meanwhile, the miners who have been digging in this cave have had a change in their plans. They were blessed by Brell with the discovery of another cave system, but it has come at a huge cost to them. Finally, the Reichicyben has grown to a terrifying degree. Can its infestation be stopped? Can it even be hurt?

The Deepshade

The owlbear spirit burst free from its prison where it has been tormented for aeons by an unseen force. Has madness and sorrow overtaken the Deepshade? What other creatures will you find inside the caves? What is that strange chanting? The fungus people of the Deepshade do not welcome strangers, but that doesn't mean some are not curious about the new adventurers that have graced their presence.

Why is everything painted like that? And why does it feel like you're being watched?

Darklight Caverns

Deep below Luclin's surface, deeper even than the Deepshade, lies a never-before-seen domain: Darklight Caverns.

Once a simple series of tunnels and caves, the caverns have been greatly influenced by the concentration of mystical animal spirits who have been hiding there since the kerrans were first sent to Luclin. In order to escape a terrible fate at the hands of the Akheva, the goddess Sahteb Mahlni ushered the animal spirits into Darklight Caverns and placed a protective illusion in front of its entrance to keep out those who would enter with dubious intentions. Though they once thought they'd eventually be freed from their confines, they've come to believe, many decades later, they are resigned to their fates in the caverns.
