I'll be hosting an open raid on the Ring of Fire in Acrylia Caverns on Monday, October 18th.

Start time will be 8 PM EST/5 PM PST.

All peeps welcome, level 49 and up.

It's a very fun raid with lots of interesting drops and the odd really rare uber drop.

You can't be late for this raid as you'll be ported to a lava pit and slowly roasted until dead. If we wipe, we'll be more than happy to grab late comers at that point.

DPS is key for this raid. We'll be using AoE a lot. We'll be letting fodder mobs stack for a fair bit as we burn down each boss that spawns. When fodder starts getting to be too much to handle, we'll be switching back to killing all the fodder, then back to the boss when they're dead. Rinse and repeat till the boss is dead.

See peeps at raid time!

Just to help people find their way, here's a travel guide to get out to AC and the Ring of Fire place...

Via PoK, take the Shar Vahl Stone. You'll zone into Shadeweaver's Thicket. Head NE to Shar Vahl. Go through the city (Or use the ledges on the outside of the city wall) and zone into Hollowshade Moor. Head East until you come to a river, then head NE to the Grimling Forest zone (It's a large cave in the very NE corner of the zone). Head NW in Grimling forest to the cave entrance. There are two small platforms with several grimlings on them standing in front of the cave entrance. Once inside the cave, take your first left, then stay right, then take the middle intersection. You'll eventually come to a large chamber, the zone into AC is in the NW corner of the room.

Porting into Grimling Forest puts you rougly in the same area as the Hollowshade Moor zone is. The route is pretty much the same.

Here's a small map of AC with some labels:


Quick side note: Nothing in AC between the zone in and Ring of Fire sees invis. Totally safe.

Thanks for putting this together Gnos - always a fun event!

As for the fire you can get out, but it wont really matter since only rogues can get back into the ring during an event anyways! We are tricksy like that.

I am so there! Perhaps any links to some of that uber loot you mentioned Gnos?

Ohh, so THAT's where the Ring of Fire is. Thanks for the info Del.

I'm going to try to make this. We attempted it years ago, and I'd love to see it to the end.

Is there an end? I think you just keep burning and burning until Hell freezes over.

Here is a link to see the list of the loot that drops:

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/ques ... quest=1569

BTW, not all of the items that drop are listed in that list. To see the best one and a few other interesting ones, you'll have to look at each of the individual bosses linked above yourself.

_________________

BTW, if you can't make the start time. There are three options.

#1 is to head in to a corner of the room and go AFK for 8 to 10 hours and hope you don't LD. (If you do LD or try to camp in the room, when you come back you'll be booted to the zone line, this was confirmed both by Oogliest and myself).

#2 Die in the room before raid time, quit out of game and hope that when you're rezzed in, you won't be booted to the zone line... (This hasn't been tested. There might be some code that will pop you at the zone line if the corpse is beyond a certain age, no way to really test it until a peep tries.)

#3 Die in zone and consent an SoS rogue and have them drag your corpse to the raid and be rezzed in. (This has not been tested so far.)

I'm camped out right outside the room, I have dinner plans but will do my very best to get back before this starts. Should be fun!
