Thought I’d write a quick note since Jason S., Vijay and I went into the deadmines alone last night for a bit of ‘instance’ style epic questing. We hit them for about 2 and a half to 3 and a half hours (doesn’t your sense of time go out the window when you’re playing). We very nearly completed it, getting to the one before the pen-ultimate boss – the first mate. Sadly his two stealthed body guards took us by surprise and the three of them managed to wipe us all out – we dove back in again (we’d already had 3 wipe-outs (everyone dies)) but found all the wee miner folk had respawned and it was going to be a tad tough getting through to where we were again. Looks like the respawn for these fellas is in the 2-3 hour mark and this is probably the best window to try to finish the area.
Damn fine effort from all concerned though – we got the hang of pulling one or two meanies, beating on them alot with rasputin playing healer and Jediscrollit and craghewn playing tanks/damage dealer. Was most fun but definitely recommend 4 minimum for the instance.
A few pointers:
- watch out for the bosses – particularly the goblin in the shredder – he gets up and beats on you when you kill the shredder and managed to give us our first wipe out
- goblins in general are alot tougher than they look
- watch out for goblin engineers – they spawn robot sentries which are cool but can quickly swamp you (another wipe out there)
- watch out for the door in the big smelting room – there are mages stealthed round there and you get your bottom spanked (I believe we got wiped out here too)
- be aware that there are likely stealthed body guards near / on the ship
- if you’re really stuck – hit the water!

I have held too many dead animals that were loved in my hands this week. Another of our quails has died. We think its coincidence but still very troubling.
Also we found a neighbours cat just down the road after it had been hit. I must admit delivering dead loved pets back to their owners wrapped in a towel is not fun.
A bad week.
