Chardok

Chardok is a rarely camped dungeon filled with untapped potential.. most people think that an enchanter is "necessary" for hunting here, but that's just not true. it might be true for deeper in, but since this dungeon is usually empty, you can hunt near the entrance and exit right up to 60 if you're so inclined.

The entrance and exit are seperate, but not greatly so. Following the left wall upon zone in will take you to the exit. Most people upon just arriving at this dungeon take the exit as their primary camp site, and if that one is taken will setup shop at the entrance (though if you hunt the entrance, you had better either be able to FD, gate, or have an evacer) you can't sow or activate jboots in the dungeon, which can make pulling tricky.

Invis can help you alot manuvering in this dungeon, as their are only 2 mobs that see through it, the chardok manglers, and the Sarnak Ceacedons <sp>. Beware the Caecedons though, they have a proc which throws you accross the room, and they have this habbit of spawning on the bridge, so if you're not careful, you'll run past them without seeing them and find yourself flying into the pit, which is rather difficutl to get out of.

Besides the entrance and exit, another popular camp is the tunnel. To get to it you need to levitate from infront of the fort. It leads down near Korocust, but there are several spawns inside it that can be easily singly pulled, and its not far from the exit if you have to run. good xp here.

Chardok is a *GREAT* dungeon for both xp and spell loot. Plus random loots like the sarnak battle shield and the sarnak fetish make this dungeon a great place to hunt, I just wish it was easier to find a pickup group here. If you've got a nice guild though, head deeper in for the *4* bosses this place contains. Korocust is by far the easiest, though by no means a walk in the park. He hits *hard* uses the reposte-disapline, and procs a blind, which can be BAD. *esspessially* if he blinds a pet, because a blind pet will immediately run out into the dungeon proper and bring back a HUGE train. DO NOT use pets against him! However, that being said, he's not that tough if you keep your wits about you and get him singly. With two groups we droped him repeatedly with no deaths, and I've see a single 55ish group *almost* drop him (probably would have if they'd just been expecting the pull). he spawns ever 18 minutes, so he's easy to farm, and he has no place holder.

The royals comprise the rest of the bosses in Chardok, and are an order of magnitude harder than Korocust. I've only personally fought the Overking, and with 3 50-57 groups, we were wiped out in a matter of seconds (though soon we hope to go back and give him another try.) I've heard the prince isn't too difficutl, though I don't have much info on him, but STAY AWAY from the queen. As far as I know NO ONE has managed to drop her yet.. she has some sort of AoE fire bard song that does around 1K of damage per tick (SICK AND WRONG). every report I've read of people engaging the queen goes like "We were sitting their medding, then all of a sudden 2 of our group memebers died, and then before I could even stand up I was dead."
so beware.

Anyone have more info on the royals?
