Miragul's Menagerie

Just curious if there are maps out for this and the other zones yet? I am assuming the layout of the dungeon doesn't change from mission to mission, so maps would be most helpful, I mean there are only so many rooms big enough to hold a boss mob hehe.

Thanks in advance,

Tried a normal setting raid in Everfrost yesterday with 18 people(LDoN raid minimum), average level of 64. Everyone had a minimum of 2 wins in Everfrost, which I think were raid requirements and everyone was level 61+. Had plenty of shamans, clerics, druids, pallies, 1 bard, 1 chanter. It was a total wipe within 5 to 20 seconds. The break in was like Plane of Fear back in the days before PoP. There were about 6 to 9 spider mobs on zone in that hit for upwards of 900. I can understand maybe a hard setting being like that, but this was a normal difficulty raid. Either that's a bug or Sony is out of touch with reality as far as difficulty settings. I sent a /petition and the GM responded saying that all they could suggest was leaving a /feedback to SOE for review. LOL. I certainly did!! I hope the other people on the raid left feedback as well. No wonder no one does LDoN raids. What was Sony thinking? Even if a monk or someone zoned in and cast divine aura, they'd be lucky to live before being hit for 900 each by the mobs at the entrance. That's the only way I can see surviving the break in. A monk needs to zone in, immediately FD, mend or wait until HPs recover a bit, and then train the mobs away from the entrance, FD again or die away from the camp. Needless to say, we did not try again since we did not have a monk and I was not about to ask a Pally to die again and lose even more exp just to "experiment." People even died immediately upon zone in with invis and invis vs. undead so the spiders see both. The raid was an assasination boss type and we were not given any other choice on what kind of raid adventure to chooose, unlike the normal group adventures. Makes sense anyway, I guess. It'd be funny to get a collection adventure from a raid. LOL. Anyway, I hope the next patch makes the normal difficulty more "normal" because honestly, I'm not even sure a Time capable raid of people could survive what we saw. The worse thing about it was that the GM told me that it was her understanding that bodies would not pop until the end of the raid. I think the raid duration was something around four hours, so I suggested that everyone log to avoid losing too much experience and just find a rezz about 4 hours or later when the bodies should pop for sure.

tonite our group got hit with plague mites spell that lasted throughout our adventure and even when trying to camp, it continued to lower health. how the heck can u cure this? disinfecting aura did not cure it. cleric could not cure it, so how long does it last??

From my experiences, this dungeon seems to be "forgotten" sometimes. It has some of the most complex mazes, awesome Frankenstein-like monsters, very good ALL/ALL items to roll for AND drops are more frequent in "collect" adventures.

Anyway, those stood in our way and die instantly :

1) Zubrulz the Mindfull (65) (same look and pet as Amnesiatic Holgresh) dropped Bow of Eternal Ice

2) Echo of Miragul (61) dropped Slippers of Dark Mana

3) Ruined Amalgam (60) dropped Delightful Orb of Fogotten Magic

Its going to be hard to sescribe a specific zone since it changes for each group that enters as far as the MOBs, the drops and where the traps are.

Those darn runes are back as many have seen. I solved the new puzzle on the LDON site. We'll be seeing a quest NPC in the Everfrost Wayfarers Brotherhood named Kizpi. Supposedly it's to upgrade the sack you get as a free item with LDON. Or something like that.
