Norrath's Keepers: Lavaspinner's Locals  

We tried clicking everywhere within 100 steps of the entrance to Lavaspinner's in both Broodlands and Lavastorm. The mission never counted the first step, so we couldn't do any more.

This mission can also be obtained from Talontar in the Dark Reign camp at loc
+3030, -313

We just spent 4 hours doing this stupid quest after the server came back up. Got all of the drops until we came to the drakes. No drakes left to kill and we still needed 2 drops from them. We eventually just quit. Thanks yet again Sony.

Are these shared tasks/missions level adjusted for the group getting the task?

Invis up before you zone in. As soon as you zone in head to the west wall, and set your party up in that corner. There is one roamer that makes its way to the entrance and will agro. I think he makes his round about once every 4 minutes or so. Pull to this camp until the hall and the roamer are cleared, then move up. Take your first right and continue to kill dervishes. At around neg700 neg 200 you come to an intersection. There is one roamer that makes its way here. Set up camp before the intersection and pull to here until you have all of your dervishes (15) killed. Now take this left and you are heading south for a very short period.

Take your very next left at around neg1000 neg500, you are heading east, kill the first lava spider that you see and set up camp here. Pull lava spiders along the LEFT or northern most route. (The spiders have a few roamers that wander these halls. I have never noticed what direction they come from, and the lil bastages sometimes add without me even seeing them. We never have a chanter and I don’t even bother to FD split them, I just bring them both and let BL or Necro Pet OT one of them). Always stay left at the next two intersections (large Ys with one arm heading SE) and pull from these hallways. You will be working your way North East. Clear up to the intersection at about neg 700 neg 1200.By the time you get here you will need perhaps one or two more spiders. You can pull them south of the intersection. You can now move North to finish up and get your drake drops to the north.

The drakes have one roamer before the traps (marked on maps) and two roamers after the traps. The roamer at the south end are normal drakes, the two at the North end are casters that love to CHEAL each other, so you may not want the roamer in camp with you while taking on another mob. Once you clear the traps (the pitholes marked on your map) then you can set up camp on the first bridge, kill the drake there and then wait for the roamer, or if you have a chanter just start killing. Continue to work North NE until you come to your first intersection. If you still need drops then take your first left and pull from that hall.

This quest usually takes us about 1.5 hour to do, sometimes more, depending on the drops from the drakes. The only hold up I have ever seen in this mission (making it more than one hour) is the Drake scales.

Evac to the entrance as this is also the exit, or just run back if now wizy or druid.

As of may 13 2k5 you get 41 crystals for completing this mission, and about one and a quarter AA xp.

Have done this mission about 5 times now. Very straight forward, great exp (usually 1.5 AA's) and each time it was complete in one hour. Also, this mission gives the best bang for the buck too. After each completion, each group member walked away with about 200pp on split (after selling all the dropped items).
