KoS Instances

erinn · 03-22-2006, 07:17 PM

Has anyone compiled a good list of instanced zones in KoS, with info on what level mobs are found within? I'm looking for some instances that my duo (Monk/Mystic, both currently level 63) can do.

We've gone into Nest of the Great Egg, and can handle that up to (but not including) the Taskmaster guy that's level 65^^^. Another level or so and I think we'll be able to handle him. That's a Barren Sky instance - I'm thinking there must be some good Tenebrous Tangle instances that are more suitable to our level.

Thanks!

it's a bit odd now that you mention it but i don't think there are any instances off of TT. there are two spots that seem to be planned as zones but currently aren't. there's a set of doors up from the pad that goes from temple grounds to the vultak scavenging sites. there's another set of doors like this on the fear tainted isle but as far as i know there are no instances off of TT.instances i know of are:nest of the great egg - barren sky (62 - 65 mobs)vaults of el arad - barren sky (not really sure been here once and it was really late but 66-70 maybe)halls of fate - bonemire (goes up as you progress in 67 - 72)blackscale sepulcher - bonemire (67 - 71)

You forgot Den of the Devourer (66-69) entrance is in bonemire at the hive.

I don't think any of those will be very managable as a duo though...

Would it really be that hard if, for each instance, they include a solo/duo version that you can select? Obviously they would need to reduce the loot in there and perhaps not include some of the mobs required for heroic quests, but at least it would give those who struggle to get full groups (or don't wish to play in full groups) something a bit different to do.

I'd love to see more instances. I'm not asking SOE to cater to my duo; it's fine with me if my duo needs to be a few levels higher than most groups (after all, I don't expect the duo to handle what a group of six can). And I suppose Nest will be great exp for us all the way through 70. It's just fun to have variety.

Of course, I won't only be doing Nest. It's just that instances are absolutely perfect for my playstyle on some evenings. If I need to go afk a lot, instances are perfect with their non-respawning mobs. No worry of trains, wandering mobs, etc.

Perhaps some of these other instances will be duo'able once we're in the high-60's.

If instances are perfect for your playstyle with the duo because you might take alot of random afk's for a while only one you have to be careful with is Den of the Devourer found in Bonmire. Mobs inside, however on a long enough timer do respawn.

I would actually have liked to see another instance or two that were geared for the lower end of T7, sort of like Sanctorium and Vault of Dust were in DoF. They were simple instances but fun to run in a duo (or even solo at 60). I supposed if they did that though the loot would probably suck, and no one would go there, just like Sanct and Vault :smileytongue:With a good trio of tank/healer/dps you should be able to do Nest at 70, and perhaps Den and Sepulcher. Right now Vaults mobs have way too many HP, even if you could win the fights it would take you 5 hours in a trio!
