City of Mist

Can anyone tell me where the Wu's STick drops at? I went to eqatlas they don't got a map for it yet.... I would like one of those.

your skill has to be 200 (it is the max anyway) for a rogue to pick the doors.i have not failed once yet in CoM.

to get a skill of 200 the first locked door in the befallen is good enough to make it all the way to max. granted it is VERY boring but if there is a grp fighting there you get to be the hero cuz you can unlock the door.

also the door in the Hole is just as good for lvling the skill.

I camped my chanter there, and in about a week i saw 3 Wraith BOne Hammer, a Wu Stick, a Kunzar Ku whatever, a few spells, probably around 3. SO i think that the loot there is nice, you just got unlucky.

I have two accounts and play the warrior/cleric combo, cleric sits and meds while the warriors beats the snot out of things. This zone was made for this kind of combat.

I brought my two characters here at level 41 and have leveled them up to 51 so far and not stopping any time soon. At level 42 I could break and keep the front 9 spawn points going non-stop. Why? because the cleric has a little spell called Complete Heal. And another little secret that seems to apply only to this zone, mobs will completely ignore the aggro effect caused from cleric heal spells, which is good because most pulls before you break them will be double mobs.

Here's how I and you can break the front 9 with just two chars. Park the cleric in the long hallway near the zone end. The warrior walks up and stands against the wall away from where the two mobs spawn beside light post. DO NOT ATTACK. If you pull using the aggro radius instead of an attack pull, you can usually pull singles. If both mobs come, don't worry run back into the hall turn around and start hitting the mobs. Don't use the cleric to nuke unless he's at FM and then only once. Once the warrior drops to 2 bubbles of health start casting the Complete Heal. Don't switch the warrior back and forth between mobs to build aggro it's not needed, just concentrate on 1 mob till it's dead. Once you're complete heal goes off, you'll be amazed that both mobs still continue to concentrate on the warrior, even when you sit down and med for the next heal. Normally once you get down to 1 mob, the med time before the warrior needs to be complete healed, is equal to the time it takes to regen the mana from the last complete heal.

The two side overhangs over the water in the bridge area have two spawn points are usually double pulls till you break them, the fight will be similar to the one above. It is possible to get single pulls from them when they are fully spawned, but you have will have to use a bow pull to get far enough away to keep from aggroing the 2nd mob, and becareful of not getting to close to the mobs in the courtyard. (P.S. Monks would be even better at pulling, if they had throwing weapons with a greater range. And this strategy does not take into account FD pulls, which most of the monks I've played with, either haven't seem to have heard about or they really suck at it. =P)

The hardest part of this area is splitting the gate which has three spawns. This cannot be done unless you are using a bow to pull. And if you aren't using a bow as a warrior, you should never be sent out to pull things, because you are not an experienced puller. The spawns form a triangle, two against the back wall with one up front. Target the mob up front, run up close enough to open the gate (be careful you can aggro from distance on this). Once the gate is open, run all the way to the begining of the bridge turn around and shoot while running backwards, If you're far enough away (you need a decent range on both bow and arrows) you'll only pull the front mob. Once you do that, you can split the other two spawns into single if you use the bow again, only target the left one, open the gate, then run back past the post that is halfway down the bridge climb the right wall of the bridge and then shoot the left mob. You can only do this from this angle because there is something about the gate that will block your arrow from hitting the mob if you try a straight on shot.

Do not try to break the courtyard with the 2 char set-up, you will usually get 4-5 mobs due to the pathing being set up to run around in circles alot back there. However there is a single spawn that you can pull on the left side of the courtyard. It is in front of the raised platform.

In the left wall of the courtyard is an arch that leads to the area called the stable. In this area is another room that you can split and pull singles from. Go into the stable area and you will see another arch in the right wall. Go through this arch and you will see a door on your right, up against the wall. When you open this door from as far away as you can, you will usually aggro the mob nearest the door, but if you get too close, both will come, but you can break them like you do any other two mob pulls.
It is possible to pull singles from using the door opening technique with the other rooms in the stable, but the pathing will usually result in multiple mobs coming at you.

In the wall in the right of the courtyard is an arch leading to the temple. High levels mobs are in here, so be careful trying to pull from here, the only single that you might be able to get is at the top of the stairs near the water on the left side. Further back on the top left side are 2 spawns of high stuff. on the other side of the water is another spawn, but shouldn't be aggroed by your pull.

Once everything starts to green out to ya, you can break the courtyard and head deeper in. Past the courtyard is something some people call the goo temple. Some people call the gazebo (spelling) area. Head to the right side of the big building where the 3 goos reside. Where you want to set up camp is against the wall of the building past it's door in the grass area. This will be in front of the right gazebo. There are four spawns inside this house, two in the room to the left side and two in the room to the right side, nothing spawns in the middle. The ones on the left side can be split into single by doing the following, go to the left door and open it, then stand in the doorway (don't go in the room), after about 5-10 secs, the first mob will aggro, and you can pull him out. Smack him a few times before you pull him off the path way and onto the grass, the pathing is such that the mobs try to avoid the grass area, Every once in a while, a mob you're pulling from the house will bolt back through the left door, run through the whole bloody house and back out the right door before following you into the grass, if You haven't broken the right room, the expect lots of fun for the next few minutes with a possible dash to the zone, as the cleric goes OOM. The right room can be broken easily after the left room with a bow pull. Just stand in the left room, target the visible mob and shoot. Pull him back out the left door and smack him about a bit, as he is the one that really likes to run back through the house. Once you have the gazebo broken, you can start easily pull from the courtyard, you can get an occasional blue at 49 from there, but most of your exp will come from the gazebo and you might as well increase your chances of good loot by pulling greens from the courtyard.

Disclaimer 1: Aggro radius of the mob is dependent upon your level. So at the lower levels you can probably expect more double pulls, but the gate pull technique should still work for you.

Disclaimer 2: Everybody who comes to CoM is looking for good loot, but fails to bring any help, and it really frustrates the everliving **** out of them to watch you sit there and pull, and pull, and pull, so expect lots of LFG, and you got room for 1 more? Most of the time I've found that the reduced exp and less chance of getting the loot, is not offset by what they provide to the group. (I say if I add 1 person to the group, I should be able to pull that many more mobs. Also be carefull of adding tanks, sure more dmg, but if the cleric has to spend all his mana healing 2 people instead of using that very effiecent CH on 1 person, there is a lot more down time waiting on cleric to med than in a 2 person combo. In other words, you secondary tanks don't use you're taunt skills, and switch over to weapons that don't cause a lot of rage/taunt build up [minimal procs])

Disclaimer 3: There are a bunch and I mean a bunch of idiots out there who like to take and sit thier big asses down on the bridge while you are pulling the area. If you smack the mob around enough you can usually pull it past them without any problem. But the occasional super-huge train from accidently tagging a ghosting wall mob will remind people its safer to sit at the zone.

Disclaimer 4: Be careful of the camp jumpers once you break the front area, on more than one occasion I've had another group take up residency on the bridge and start pulling stuff. Again mistaking a ghosting mob can help rectify the situation.

Where does the army behemoth spawn. Sick of waiting for random spawn. Been there for thirty hours on what was said to be an eight our quest. Heh!!!!!!! Pathetic!!!!!!!

Zone Entrance.

NOTE: Unless fighting a Lord (Neh'Ashir, Rek'Ashir, Ghiosk, or Black Reaver) the following LOOT IS DROPPED RANDOM throughout the zone: Firerune Brand, Runewood Staff, Green Jade Broadsword, Master Wu Stick, Sainy's Claw, Kunzar Kujuch (you will see the skeleton weilding this one), Ring of Quintessence, Vilk's Dark Defender.

Right before the bridge on either side of the lamp post are various spawns of the lower mob distribution in the zone (Shadow, Spurbone, Plaquebone, Haze Golem and the occasional Apparition) Lvls range from 35ish to low 40's. There is also another spawn to the right lamp post that will occasionally spawn before the bridge making a possible 3 pop engagement. Depending on the makeup of the group; a high 30's / lower 40's group can pretty much keep the pre-bridge pop and the 3 pops just pass the gate. These are random also and will range with the lvl's described.

Courtyard:

If the group contingent you have fighting at the bridge can handle more pops the two balconies visible from the bridge contain two spawns apiece that can be pulled; and the adjacent area behind the gate spawns around the pool. A well balanced group can pretty much pull the Bridge area and courtyard before the bridge repops (20 minute timer on spawns).

Temple/Stables:

To the right and left respectively of the courtyard are higher level areas that include some higher lvl mobs: Spectral Courier, Greater Warboned, Greater Plaquebone, Wraith, Army Behemoth, Mist Golem)that are about 4 lvl's higher on average than the courtyard/bridge pulls.

NOTE: It is possible if timed right to pull the Bridge/Gate/Courtyard/Stable/Temple area within a 20 minute cycle if you have a full lvl 50's group that is well balanced.. almost non-stop fighting.

Goo House:

Farther in past the Courtyard exist a Goo Temple/House that has 3 gyrating goo's in it.
when camping to the right or left of goo house you can also pull the right and left buildings just pass the goo house.

Any further exploration into the zone would require you to get close to the castle entrance where the Black Reavers are. Therefor raid dynamics take over at this point.

Anyone know the trick to levitate to the upper levels.. I hear it has to do with the goo tower and the the invisible ramp?

Any ideas?

Harmony hands down is the best for pulling in this zone (with all the pathing issues, occasional ghosting mobs, etc). Just to share some examples:

In the temple, a ranger/druid can easily pull one or two (sometimes three) mobs. Start by hitting the two up top the temple with harmony, make sure you cast on them both. Then pull the left one, then the right. I have sometimes had two or three come when I pull like this, but not often, crowd control is a must though. After you have cleared them, head inside and take an immediate right, on the lower platform is two more mobs. Hit each one with a dose of harmony, and pull one. You will probably (at least from my experience) get two mobs. After you are done go back inside harmony the one remaining then pull him. The trick behind this pulling is the bug in the zone where there floor boundaries for spells and argoing. So when you are harmonizing the mobs you are really getting the mobs above and below in the spells radius as well.

Harmony works great throughout the rest of the zone as well, especially going deeper inside the zone. A good rule of thumb is to harmonize all mobs you can see and then pull, it can make the difference between total group wipe out or a winnable fight.

Good luck!

Hiya,

On Luclin, there is generally only one group in CoM, except during Reaver raids, and everyone who wants to fight here waits on a list.

I am wanting to take my group (46 druid, 46 mage, 45 ranger, 42 ench) in a bit deeper, instead of us waiting on the list, and not getting to group together much. I'm sure I can fill it out with a couple of other people.

Anyone know where are the best spots to set up camp? We have camped before in the courtyard outside the goo building (about pos 200, neg 150), but it seemed like out TOO far out of the way, making for long pulls. If anyone has camped further in, where did you camp? Since it's easy to get one place confused with another, approximate locs would be great. Thanks.

This zone is great xp at levels 35-49, the only problem really can be finding a group, and the lack of safe camp spots further in.

First some basic facts about the zone:
- It's a city. Melee's can bind here.
- It's an outdoor zone. Harmony works well here, as does SOW.
- Stuff near zone is about level 35-40 (shadows, haze golems, plaguebones, spurbones) , a little further in you get 40-45 mobs (apparitions, phantoms, goos, fog golems).
- Stuff here doesn't run, so don't bother snaring.
- Pathing is very bad here. Often a train will get 'hung' on a corner, especially the one near the zone and the one near gate at the bridge. The mobs that get stuck can then be pulled a little more safely. Doing this deliberately is of course exploitation, and is also quite risky.
- Spawn time is, I believe, 13 minutes.
- Loot table for most stuff is random. You can get a green jade broadsword, for example, if you are lucky, just hunting at the zone.

Camp spots:
A group around level 35-45 can hunt well near the zone, or at the bridge. If hunting at the bridge, first clear the 2 spawns there. Then the gate (3 spawns), the two ledges in the moat (2 spawns each I think), and the courtyard (4-6 spawns) are available to you. Only trouble with bridge is it can get trained, and the 2 spawns there, but the zone is so near it doesn't really matter. If you clear the courtyard, you call then pull the stables to the left of the courtyard. There are 3 mobs in there which generally come together.

To the right of the gate just past the courtyard is the temple area. There are quite a few tough mobs in the temple (phantoms etc). Pull with these great caution, as this area often causes trains when pulled (harmony should work though in theory). But the spot in front of the temple can be used to pull to when there is a bridge group already. Like the bridge it is near zone, but is less prone to trains.

Through the courtyard you can go either left or right, both ways leading to a few buildings containing goos. Outside these buildings are good camp spots for a group around level 45. The right hand set of buildings include one level 45-46 goo ("Momma goo") in the main building with her 2 babies around level 42, and the other building contains 2 fog golem/greater spurbone/phantom level mobs. The left hand set of buildings is similar in contents. The only problems with these spots are ghosting mobs/pathing (see other posts here, don't hang around near the walls) and that you have to fight through the courtyard, gate, and bridge to get to the zone. So try to keep the courtyard clear in case you have to run :)

Overall though this zone is great fun, looks great, nice xp, and good loot. It's also not hunted for xp much on my server, making it nice and empty.

Don't ask me about further in yet though ;)
