took me and 5 friends all Anguish/tacvi/don dragon geared about 4 hours or so to clear all "raid encounter" mobs listed here was my first time to walk in as i had needed a rift for ages. but yes at the level of gear in game it is definently groupable and yes they still have a metric "s" load of HP.
and btw these are ALOT of clikies found here that are no where else in the game atm so yes we went there to farm clikies for toons that have to wait till Blood is broken into to get any real upgrades
*EDIT* It was a lil longer than 4 hours as they already had done some (lil less than an hour i believe blobb 1 was dead) when I got CoH. But was nowhere near the 8 hours stated below. You also have to look at AC, HP and pure DPS of Anguish/DoN dragon geared toons compared to high end luclin toons. I have an Anguish geared BST with over 11k hp unbuffed that alone is more than 90% Luclin tanks if not more. and his wpnds are 20 dly 34 dmg and 22 dly 38 dmg. Couple that with the fact that we now have like a million more AA than Luclin early pop era makes my statment completely feasible and true for that fact.

Kinda find that hard to believe. These mobs aren't just PoP tower mobs you can surpass and farm easily. The trash mobs alone have over 100,000 hps each and some of the boss mobs are well over 2 million. When my guild, all level 65 at the time, finally got in, with 50+ it still took around 8 hours the plow through to the last boss. The bosses out front aren't really that involved I suppose but still mowing down that amount of trash with a group of 6 seems like a nightmare...

When your dps classes are doing 1200+ dps, your tanks have 18khp and 3500 ac, and your clerics have 14k mana... 4 hours is about right unless you stop to kill evey single trash mob inside and out. I have seen it done in under 6 hours when half the group was 2boxed.

Well infact we did cut out alot of clearing by having a coh mage setup from when the guild actually raided VT (never played cept when they raided). Was mostly Boss killing time.

Just curious. with max levels now being 70, and resists/stats/effects beign what they are now, is VT possibly groupable now, or perhaps easily 2-3 groupable? Just curious as I have made it a new priority for our guild as we lost the vast majority of our high end players and are looking to rebuild and gear people, and VT seems like the place to do it.
I have seen Vex Thal cleared (all raid mobs from Blob 1 to AHR) in 2.5 hours with 21 folks, elem-time geared. ofcourse, went their just for clickies, and I love my Tiny bone bracelet ;)
Groupable? Probably not as the mobs have TONS of hps and come in groups. You can have a monk try to split but it will take a LONG time to get them single. You MIGHT be able to do it with 2-3 groups if they are geared well enough but at that point, why bother with VT since most of the loot is No-Drop and you most likely have better already. If you plan on killing AHR and being able to actually benefit from that loot, I would say 5 grps min to do it under 5-6 hrs.

Here is a list of the loot my guild got in almost 4 months of farming VT, including 24 Aten Ha Ra kills. This should answer any questions as to what items drop and what items no longer drop. Not definitively, but if we havent seen the item in 24 clears, it probably doesn't drop anymore. I am so ready to never see this place again...

does the scepter of shadows show up on key ring? anyone know? and if so as what?
Yes, it goes on your keyring as The Scepter of Shadows.
I have three VT keys, does anyone know what door they open? The Palace Key does not open the door up the steps (first one is unlocked, second seems to require a rogue). It never opened any door I tried with it, but it is now mysteriously on my keyring. Ditto for North Wing Key. It is on my key ring, but I haven't a clue what doors it opens. I also have a North Tower Key, but I don't think we have prgressed far enough in fot that one.

Palace door opens the door up the steps (are you sure it was unlocked or did the person who opened the door have the palace key in their inventory)?
North Wing Key opens the area past the hall with the columns (which leads to Blob 1, which despawns the first warders).
North Tower Key probably opens the area to DXXT

Went to VT after new expansion TBM and no named mobs up but warders were all up. Of course i couldn't attack them. Went all the way to last boss and she wasn't up either. Do the bosses not pop on total server reset? why are warders up and not bosses?
Any help on this appreciated.

What is the respawn of the "Yard Trash" in VT?
Scholar
42 posts
Vex Thal is not for those with little patience. This zone is beyond your worst nightmares of boring. The sheer amount of yard trash with 60-100k hitpoints, that spawns yet another 60-100k upon death is mind boggling. This zone will sap your will to play the game away. You have been warned.
Entering VT means youre in a Raiding Guild with enough dedicated Die hard Players.Folks like this don't loose the will to play only from killing a few k Trash Mobs.Just finished Class Archtype AA's of to the next Tab now:)
I would like to note that the above post was written in 2003... The dps of raid geared guilds was much less then even bazaar geared guilds of today at level 70. The 10 levels DOES make a big difference. Way back when raiding VT was like smashing your head against a brick wall... over and over and over again.
However, I agree, even then raiding guilds would not have completely lost the will to play because of this. Guilds did do it, afterall ;)

I completey agree, Vt has taught my guild a ton about CC, co-operation, and patience. Since going into VT every week we have taken down each and every PoP god we have met, still need to do rz, tz, vz, and agnarr, on our first attempt.
I don't believe that without the temdium of VT we would have been able to kill the pop gods with such ease. VT is definately a guild breaker or builder. No guild comes out of there unchanged. :-)

That is so true :p
step one: Emp key in ssra, kill Commander Zazush and Commander Zherozsh they always drop component, zazush can spawn randomly on the first and Zherozsh on the 2nd floor. then head to basement and kill named taskmasters/warders for pouch (container),drops rare then head to Emp imperialguard area and kill till one of these spawns that drop insignia always, General Kizuhx, Advisor Zekuzh or Arbiter Korazhk.
combine idol, ring and insignia in pouch and you have emp key.

is there a level limit to getting into VT ...if my lvl 50 has her key can she enter vt?

No lvl reqirement, just need key
step two: enter emp room kill emp, pop 5x lizards that each drop 8 rifts, loot one.
kill some boss mob in luclin to get an orb of luclinte
go to akheva and kill sacrificial remains (laying down at the temple looking thingie, rare pop is a shimmering presence) give the shimmering presence a wisp stone (lvl 4 magician spell to summon it) and then pops another mob, give that one an essence emerald and you get a container.
collect 10 shards to put in container
1 from named gorangas in Maiden´s Eye
1 from Shade golems/Xi Vius/shade reavers on akheva
1 from shik´nar warriors and royals in FG
1 from sun revenants in the gray
1 from legionnarires of the hand or legionnaires in the balchony in Sanctus seru
1 from rockhoppers/sambata in the hopper caves in DS
1 from sun revanants/reavers on top of the plateau in SD
1 from grilling skullcrackers that guard the gate in acrylia caverns
1 from drudges in the mines of ssra
1 from thought horrors/leeches in Deep
put those 10 lucid shards in container, combine to get another container 2 slot, put orb of luclinite and rift from emp area in container, combine to get VT key.

Ok 3 guilds on The Rathe have farmed Vex Thal to date. Blood of the Spider, Tindi Losi and Noble Blade.
Yes it takes a combined major time-sink effort on the part of an uber guild to get keys (which everyone must have), but the loot is well worth it. Most players won't ever see Vex Thal unless they are part of an uber guild that makes Vex Thal a priority.
I'm in Noble Blade and we've cleared Vex Thal 3 times so far getting over 120 drops much better than anything you can find short of the uber mobs in Ssra.
Yes there are hundreds of trash mobs that have to be cleared to get to the bosses. Is it worth it? Well I've been 3 times and I will continue to go even if hours upon hours are spent there because of the awesome stats on the drops.
Also most guilds need to be VT equipped to even consider going into the higher tier zones in PoP and not get their butts handed to them on a platter.

Not really VT equipped. Serveral guilds have bypassed VT and doing quite well in elemental planes.
These guilds did farm ssra, seru, ntov, and tier 3 mobs quite well though.

I somehow doubt that they, nor any other guild currently on EQ possibily save Celestrail Empire, can complete the quest for the key to enter the zone, let alone enter it, let alone live long enough to get to the bottom to die at!
But help me out.. What factions are raised/lowered in Vex Thal? From an artist's point of view, does this place LOOK cool?
no factions , and the place looks pretty nice.

And do you have any observations to share about the zone, since so little information seems to be available online?

Really annoying "trash" mobs that drop nothing. Takes forever to kill, then you kill them and they spawn another one of them. They AE blind you, which is more annoying then anything in this game. Then when you waste hours and hours clearing these trash killer mobs that drop jack. You get the named mob and kill it and it drops loot that you have to force on people because it sucks so bad.
The real good loot is deep inside VT but when you finally get there, you are so sick of this zone you dont care anymore if you come back. Clearing PoG 10 times is less painful then wasting months on Key camps then getting to the promise land and is BUGGED to hell with broken loot, medicore loot and the most annoying pests in game.

Well, being the uber guild that they are, Afterlife has entered and annihilated this zone, killing all the mobs right on down to the end boss. Among some of the loot dropped was an 80 AC 25 Str Sta Dex Agi 125 HP 30 Fire Cold breastplate. Check it out at www.afterlifeguild.org Just want to congratulate Afterlife on this achievement.

Collect 10shards of luclin from all different zones, combine them in a container which makes a scepter and then take and orb of lucinite and a drop from the emp in ssra. Combine the lucinite and the emp item in the scepter and you have your key. Dont even bother to do this quest if your guild cant kill the emp in ssra, that mob takes 70 people to kill. All of which are level 60 and you will need a whole seperate key quest to just get to emp in ssra. This quest is like vp key but much longer to do.
All I can say is this is the biggest time sink in the game and not worth the effort if you are not in one hell of an uber guild.~

I DONT GET IT.... IT MAKES NO SENSE!!! How in the hell do you figure out what you have to do for the key, and even more than that, how do you have to figure **** out for any "epic" quest. For the Pally epic, you have to randomly tell this dwarf "some" to do part of your quest... WHO WOULD FIGURE THAT OUT!!!??? Anyone... please, I feel outta the loop here... who is the first to figure this out and pass it on to the rest of us?

figuring out quests like that in a record time is what makes the really uber guilds uber, they have very motivated ppl that are willing to spend alot of time finding out.
how do you do it, you dont read the spoilers on allakhazam, well most ppl do but once ppl hailed npcs and got clues, then epics were solved, and casting identify on items will also reveal clues about quests etc. try it sometimes even though it´s been done before.

My opinion...
Vex Thal was created for the sole purpose of keeping Uber Guilds like AL interested in the game for a while longer. However, I think SOE underestimated how quickly they would solve the key and clear the zone.
I personally feel that SOEs time and effort would be better spent upgrading the older zones (not making the Mobs tougher, which makes no sense anyway, but making the drops balance better with the newer expansions, fixing the bugs, adding new quests, etc). Now of course, some ding-dong is gonna say, "But there are different teams! The team that made Vex Thal did not interfere with any other part of EQ." Guess what, that's BS. The guys who were doing this zone, which only a handful of people throughout EQ will probably ever see could easily have been working on other parts of EQ. Let me ask you this, when was the last time you heard of someone actually doing the Langseax quest? Been over a year since I've even seen a Langseax being sold, so I know they aren't being farmed anymore. I can think of probably 20 quests in the old world that people aren't even bothing to do anymore because they just plain aren't worth it anymore. Has anyone been to Shadeweavers to kill the Loda Kai with a Newb? They drop weapons with STATS on them! Nice weapons. And you can kill them at level 8 fairly easy! There are quests there for <10 Armor with nice HP bonuses on them. Hell, I didn't even have a weapon that said MAGIC on it until I was level 20.
Anyway, much as I love EQ, I hate to see things like this that are just a waste. I know that I will never see this zone. I don't even think anyone on my server has finished a key yet. I'm pretty sure that the Emporer has not been killed on it yet.
And for the next rant, with stuff like this and the Vellious armor quests in the game, why haven't they upped the drops in the Planes (Hate and Fear, I mean). Not all of the armor needs the drops increased. I've hosted 6 Hate raids so far. In those raids, I've fully outfitted (BPs and all) 3 Clerics, 2 Bards, and a Shammie. I've let 3 Ikky War BPs (among other things) rot since I can never find an Ikky Warrior. Yet for all those raids, I have a single Indo Bracer. That's all. I've had a total of 2 Indo Bracers and 2 Indo Helms (worthless pieces of crap that they are) drop so far. I've hosted 6 raids to Hate, and attended 8. Thats a friggin pathetic drop rate on Armor that is only subpar by todays standards.
Anyway, my laundry should be done now, so I'll cut it off there...

I understand how zones like this can be rather disheartening to anyone not in the "ubberest" guilds. In a fantasy game everyone likes to view themselves as the Hero (or villian) and when there are areas that you KNOW you will never see it kinda takes some of that away. I try to just ignore the new "ubber zones" in the luclin expansion, much as many people ignore Sleeper's Tomb from velious. After Planes of Power is released perhaps some of these high level zones will be a bit more accessible (like many of the Kunark ones became post-velious). Until then, set your own goals, and don't judge your own progression by the best of the best of the best... just see how close you are to *your* personal goals and be happy with the accomplishments you've made. There's still a lot of great stuff to be gotten in zones other than vex thal and Ssra Temple.. just take a look at the Maiden's Eye equipment list.. and it's pretty easy to go through with a good group of 50+s =)

Best way to play this game without going insane about what you can't do, is to concentrate on what you can do without ruining your RL. I sat down to play EQ 2 years ago, wanting to hit L60 and get my epic. Took me 20 months, but I'm proud of my Heirophant and Nature Walker's Scimitar, and what's more... when I log off for the last time sometime soon, I'll be happy that I have 'completed' EverQuest as far as I am concerned.
Remember, it's just a game after all.

game should contain more ppl like you Zaxton, you´ve got the right attitude.
Forgot to add the need for some high lvl smiths and farming items to make ssra bane weapons since no others work on the emporer.

Posted: Feb 06 2002 at 7:02 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Picture it: Saturday night February 2nd at 8PM PST, I hear rumors that Triton (one of the 2 uber guilds on Povar) has entered Vex Thal. So, curious I do a /who all Triton and "there are no players on everquest who match those filters". Then, not believing that NO members of an uber guild would be online on a Saturday night, I do a /who all [insert Triton's guild leader's name]. He was online and anon, as well as a few other whose names I knew. So, rumor has it that Triton went in...although no reports from them as of yet confirming this. Will post again when I get more information.

Posted: Jul 12 2002 at 7:26 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The reason why it showed no players is you did it /who all triton, and not /who all "triton"
Did you try that before posting here? On Tallon Zek server, I type /who all minion, and I get back a list of all the players online who are in the guild Minions of Zek. I do /who all pande, and I get back a list of all the players online who are in the guild Pandemonium.
This works as of 7/16/2002.
And depending on how you have /roleplay and /anon set, you can be anonymous with or without your guild tag up. Most people on red servers run around 24/7 anonymous with guild tags up.

I also play on tallon zek and get the same results from my /who all's. No quotations needed.

After reading as much as I can, some of the other zone drops with gems are included in the completion of upgraded armor types. While it may be presumptive for me to assume what is going to occur in Vex Thal, if you follow the VI mentality thus far in the game, I think the following will probably be the case.
