Find the Projection of Tactics in the southeastern part of the Muramite Proving Grounds, at -5530, -1585.

You say, 'Hail, Projection of Tactics'

Projection of Tactics says 'Halt, ______, and hear my words. Your background and your status are of no consequence. All are welcome to participate in the trials to prove their worth, or die trying. Whosoever approaches me has addressed the embodiment of Tactics, keeper of the trials of Subversion and Foresight. The former is a small-scale test, while the latter is large-scale. My task is to explain the rules and usher hopefuls into the battle arena. Would you like to hear the rules for [small-scale] or [large-scale] trials, or do you wish to enroll in [Subversion] or [Foresight]?'

You say, 'Subversion.'

Projection of Tactics says 'Knowing when to thwart your opponents using guile and subversion instead of brute force is critical to attaining true power. Wealth can be amassed without ever unsheathing a blade. The most ambitious rulers are overthrown not by their enemies on the battlefield, but by their 'allies' in the throne room. If you understand my meaning, now is the opportunity to prove your worth!'

The direction to the entry to your instanced zone(s) have been marked on your compass.

LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...

You have entered Proving Grounds: The Mastery of Subversion.

In this trial, your group members must open chests to discover various-valued Seals of Subversion. Most of the chests are locked, and differently-named ones correspond to the archetype that can disarm and unlock them:

"a spellbound chest" must be disarmed/unlocked by casters
"a hexed chest" by priests
"an ironbound chest" by rogues/bards (Pick Locks).

Failure to disarm the chests properly will trigger various nasty effects.


Your team has recovered a copper seal, worth 10. You are a little closer to reaching your goal of 300.

Your team has recovered a silver seal, worth 20. You are a little closer to reaching your goal of 300.

Your team has recovered a gold seal, worth 30. You are a little closer to reaching your goal of 300.

The total value of seals you have acquired is XX.

Once you reach 300 points, the group is to kill the Master of Subversion and two dragorn guardians to win the trial.

Problem: There are also dragorn roamers (a dragorn patroller) which will waste time and threaten wipeout if aggroed. They can drop copper seals.. but not so often as to make killing them worthwile.

The keys to this trial are the avoidance of aggro, LDoN-style "unlock chest" spells/abilities, and quick reaction times to chest traps (get cured ASAP).

Use of pacification spells is beneficial in this trial to keep the roamers at bay while you open and loot chests. Once all 300 points are collected, the roamers despawn. The only mobs left are the Master of Subversion and his two guards.

Master of Subversion has about 150,000 hitpoints and is fairly simple for a 10k+ tank to handle. A Shell of the Master spawns after successful completion with the loot.

Now i have tried this task a few times the first was the closest the group came with me in it and after that time it seemed that i was the cause of a few failures. the reason bein and i dont need flames cos im not a ****** but it seemd that my sense trap was not working on the trapped chests but the nopn trapped ones it would pick up in a heartbeat im curious if anyone else has had this problem or if people just pick and open without worring about the traps
