RAID, RAID, RAID

Raid, Raid Raid are special events, first added in 2009 during the 10th Anniversary (but are not actual Anniversary events).

These temporary events are raids (or a group mission, in one case) that sends players to a set of sequential targets / zones (from older expansions) by 'zone hopping' instance to instance.

The idea is to defeat every target before time expires, as fast as possible, in order to get a progressively better reward (noted below).

These events have been inconsistently offered at different times of the year.

However, in recent times, Death, Death, Death (group) has been activated around July / August of each year, while Dragons, Dragons, Dragons & Giants, Giants, Giants (raids) have been activated around November of each year.

The Dragons, Dragons, Dragons event, originally, had a 'leader board' maintained by EverQuest, for raids that beat the event (all targets) in the fastest times.

DEATH, DEATH, DEATH (Group)

1) GREAT DIVIDE: You are looking for Tudasali, Emissary of Thurgadin , who is near the guard shacks by the river (area of /waypoint -1055, 120)

This is a group Monster Mission (you can get it with one (1) Player, but you will not be able to ge very far).

A full unboxed group is strongly recommended.

This event has a one (1) hour timer.

There does not seem to be a replay timer.

2) SET-UP / INFO: This group event will take your to a number of zones, where the goal is to kill as many of the twenty-two (22) targets as you can, before the one (1) hour timer runs out.

The event is very challenging form the start, as you are in a lower level (Level 50) 'Monster' ('Classic' Class) form.
As a Monster Mission, each Player will need to pick one (1) of the fourteen (14) available 'Classic' Level 50 Player classes offered (no Beastlord and no Berserker).
- Only one (1) of each Player Class is allowed. Choose wisely.
Zone in (say 'Continue to Tudasali, Emissary of Thurgadin) to set-up inside the Mission (AA's, Hot Buttons...) and then hit the 'Save' Button in your 'Monster' AA window.
- Once set up, drop the Mission and get it again, to reset the timer.
- Then go back in, Load your saved set-up ('Load' button in the AA Window) and get going! This way, no delay caused by setting-up.
When each target is defeated, Tudasali, Emissary of Thurgadin can be found in the nearby area (on Find).
Target and /say Continue to Tudasali, Emissary of Thurgadin to get telported to the next event.
If you straggle behind, Tudasali, Emissary of Thurgadin will always teleport you to the currently active (undefeated) event.
The twenty-two (22) targets are supposedly in their original form, to include Level and abilities (except the step of 2,400 Coldain MoB's).
There will be a spawned chests at Tudasali, Emissary of Thurgadin, for each target is killed.
- NOTE: Items inside the chests do have class restrictions, but they can be upgrades with focus effects, for what your character may currently have.
This event is not called 'Death, Death' Death for no reason. You will die a lot!
After a death, there will be a delay of about 15-ish seconds before you can respawn.
- You will respawn at currently active event, where you died.
- When you respawn, run right back in!
- Do this every time... this event does earn it's name, for sure.
- Don't worry, as a Monster mission, you do not lose any experience.

3) STRATEGY TIPS: While I have yet toi beat this event, I can offer some personal opinions on what I have seen...

Worrying about who is tanking is a non-issue.
- With all the deaths, if you get aggro, just tank it until you die.
A Healers (CLR, DRU, SHM...) are not very useful.
- They can't keep up and run out of mana fast.
- Players will die constantly Cleric, or no Cleric.
Casters (ENC, WIZ, MAG, NEC) don't seem to be much help either.
- While some can send in one (1) pet (before they die), they also run out of mana fast.
- An Enchanter 'might' help with slow?
Beastlords can send a Pet and Melee, so they can be useful.
Melee Capable Classes may be the best option in my opinion (SK, RNG, PAL, WAR, MNK, ROG, BRD).
- They don't run oput of mana and can DPS until they die.
Base Strategy? Do DPS until you die, respawn, run back and do it again!
- The ol' 'Throw Corpses At It' strategy!
Don't wast time! If you are first to a target, go ahead and engage it!
Give a level of consideration to each targets abilities (see below), otherwise it can sometimes seem like a futile effort!
Forget Buffs! Buffing makes no difference!
- Don't waste the time or mana!
DoT's & Curses can be ignored!
- Don't worry about cures and heals!
- Don't waste that effort / mana!
Pulling Targets are a distance from the zone-in location (which is also where you respawn), towards / to the zone-in location, can potentially save time related to the back and forth respawn-and-run-back time.
- Player who gets agrro should immeduately run towards the zone-in location and get as far as they can.
- Other Players should not attack, so that the target is not delayed (by aggro changes) in getting to the zone-in location.
- If a Player dies before they get to the zone-in spot, another Player should take their place until the target is pulled to the zone-in spot.
- Killing a target at or near the zone-in spot can save a lot of time on Players running back and also having more time doing DPS on the target.
