Reaching the Seventh Hammer  

Requires a group to zone in.

"The Mark of Justice, with which you click on a blue exit portal to get to the room containing the Seventh Hammer, whom you must then fight. (To port over, hold the key on your cursor and click the "U" key on your keyboard.)"

I did that and entered a room where all the portals were red. The group was a wizard, a shaman, a rogue, and a necromancer. I had a tank merc and a healer merc up. The untargetable mobs around would cast a spell but I never saw the Seventh Hammer to start a combat. I put away the mercs but still the Seventh Hammer never showed up.

not that it matters because the devs aren't planning any more epic quests, u can pretty much go to Tosk and get a better weapon...unless you think the epic proc is oh...so...great...

I guess it's no surprise that this is all pretty trivial now. I'm a 75 monk, 470AA, bazaar gear, 14700/2360 hp/ac with merc buffs. I did all 6 trials with with just me and the merc easily. A couple quick notes:

Lashing: I failed this once because I killed the final spirit in its cubby and continued wiping out the remaining mobs, not realizing that the final named had already spawned. Oops. Easily corrected the 2nd time around.

Torture: This is the only one I ever felt close to losing, only because of the amount of time spent running around the little room. It was probably never that close in reality.

Hanging: The razorfiends that proc the long stun were not a problem, it never landed on me (398 MR) through the entire trial. In fact, nothing in any of the trials ever hit me except for the random AE which sometimes landed and did 100 or so damage.

Stoning/Lashing - the mobs come from different areas and will sometimes beat on the innocents rather than going straight for you. I don't know if this makes a difference but I'm assuming they could die if left unattended. There are ways to position yourself when the mobs appear that increase your chances of attracting all of them at once, so look for those spots. I would tend to position myself to one side of the room, range attack whoever appeared there, then run to the other side to get the remaining mobs all beating on me. It worked pretty well.

Regular mobs hit 300-500, named around 700 (most of these also enraged and rampaged). Damage shield potions are a good idea. With the merc, I never used mend or any discs (except innerflame, due to boredom).

Good luck!

Confirmed today that you do not need to have all of the marks in your personal inventory to get the 7th Mark. Bank is fine.

I have all the marks, I'm trying to click on the portal but its just saying Ican't drop the mark of justice. How do I zone in for monk 1.5?

[Sun Feb 10 14:41:29 2008] The Tribunal tells you, 'Most impressive. It has been long since a mortal has shown such prowess.' It considers you for a long moment. 'There is one final test that you must undergo.' A gleaming metal disc appears in your hand. 'Hold up the Mark of Justice as you enter the portal, and prepare for your judgement.'

Ok my guild for the hell of it went back to do this for some fun and help out some lower levels in guild get keyed for zones. I completed all 6 and hailed the dude and got my mark, we zoned in using the hold mark in hand and hitting "u". to our surprise he never spawned we sat there for a good 10 min too.. are we missing something? does eveyone in group need to have the mark?

75 Druid solo'd my way through all six trials today, was a fun way to spend the afternoon. I experienced the most difficulty with Trial of Execution. The time it takes for the executioner to path up and slay the prisoner is extremely short, and all it takes is a couple spellcasting interrupts by the trash mobs and the axe flies and its a failure. Trial of Torture proved to be the most mana intensive and the Trial of Lashing defintely was the most fun :)

Highly recommended!

This goes out to the Monks that have their EPIC 1.5 or 2.0.

I have an enc that has the 6 marks, IE access. I have a friend in the guild ready to go to the 7th hammer. Will my enc work to get the raid in for the EPIC? or does the monk have to have them in order to correctly do the EPIC sequence?

one grpable... time gear even.

Peace

Do you get an AA for completing all 6 trials and getting the key? "you got a charicter flag" was there but didnt seem to make any difference and while i got the mark I still never zoned into 7th hammer, is it like the BOT flag where you need to use it once for it to count?
If so when you zone in can you port out or do you have to fight?

Can anyone confirm if you HAVE to have the marks in your inventory to do this? I destroyed my Mark of Execution long ago. It wouldn't be a big deal to get a new one, but would be nice if we didn't actually need to have them in inventory.
