It is within Veeshan's Peak that the Lords of Scale hold their court. The oldest living creatures within Norrath, the Lords of Scale were deposited by the Wurm goddess Veeshan at the birth of the world.

It is from within Veeshan's Peak that Trakanon, at the time a mighty blue dragon, led his forces to meet the Iksar armies above the field of bone. Trakanon's victory was complete, decimating the upstart Iksar armies and razing many of their cities. Trakanon himself retired to the Ruins of Sebilis to keep watch and revel in his victory.


Level 55 is required to enter the zone without a key on the live servers.
Everyone can enter the zone with a key.

Druid and Wizard ports and TL's and personal gate spells now work in this zone. Originally the only ways out where to walk out using a ZO or getting rez'd back out on an old corpse.
VP hardest zone in the game?

Vex Thal is arguably the hardest zone in the game before PoP. Even with PoP, it's still one of the hardest ones.

Veeshan's Peak was the hardest zone in the game when Kunark was the only expansion.

Sleeper's Tomb was the hardest zone in the game when Velious came out.

Vex Thal was the hardest zone in the game when Luclin came out.

The Plane of Time is currently the hardest zone in the game.

Note that all of these zones require long involved quests to get an individual key.

"Hardest zone" is a relative term.

LDON has introduced several post-Time raids, and many a guild who have gone to Time have found the new Bristlebane to be a challenging encounter.

Personally, I've always thought Dalnir was the hardest zone in the game, but that's obviously relative to the levels at which it's appropriate ;-)
Very fun zone

Some things that haven't been mentioned here yet.

The trash mobs have a respawn rate of 2 minutes and give no faction hits.

The Named dragons are all on Ring of Scale faction, so if you and your guildmates spent a few nights AEing in Mistmoore Castle and avoided killing Fay and friends, you could theoretically all be non-KOS to the named's the first time you entered here. The trash mobs are KOS to everyone though. Would be good for pics and the initial raid in, but after that, it'd be max-KOS or waste your time in MM once or twice a week :)


I've been to VP before the revamp and it was a complete rush. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Laquisis,

My guild is getting ready to start raiding VP. The quest you speak of is correct. There are a total of 10 pieces needed for it, including a tooth from the poison dragon, Trakanon, who lives in Old Seb.

There is a ton of debate on risk/reward on this zone. Personally, I could care less what phat lewts drop there. It's something new to see and even for the casual player that has made it to this point of the game, seeing new things has its own rewards.

I have yet to see a good walk-through on the zone, or talk to anyone that has done lots of raiding there. To most, it is now just a dead zone that is not worth the time to go. If you were just looking at the loot table vs PoP zone loot tables most would agree that PoP is worth spending your time in instead of VP.

I will be glad to share with anyone our successes of failures in VP. Personally, I can't wait.

Spelling optional in the above text.

On Bristlebane, when people still went to this zone, I seem to recall that if they couldn't clear all the big dragons, or they needed to leave, they all got SoW and ran like hell. Apparently running past a dragon is quite amusing, but I wouldn'tknow I have exactly one piece of VP key.

EDIT: I just checked my guild web-site which has some pictures of our server's 1st ever attempt in VP. This is what I found:

There are several wurms that see invis. Somehow there is a way to differentiate them from the wurms that can't. This raid pulled and killed the see invis wurms. Then 4 mages who could CoH ran to a "cave" (they don't explain where or what this is). 3 of them died en route. The other CoH mage summoned the whole raid to this cave which they refer to as the AFK cave. This was where they pulled for the last few fights of the night. After killing Xygoz(sp?), they decided to leave and when they ran found the exit guarded by three 550 GW. All told on BB's first insert into VP, they did 3 of the big dragons succesfully.
#Anonymous, Posted: Nov 05 2001 at 3:18 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) OK, I'll ask the same question everyone else is asking? Are any of you Uber guilds going to help some of the younger kids with the info on this zone? Like to know a little more about it?
#REDACTED, Posted: Jan 11 2002 at 10:28 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Here the tactic : warrior full buffed go tank the dragon and hit defensive. Clerics behind make a CH rotation. That's all.

They really do need to either buff up the items dropped here, or make the zone easier to get in adn out of. As it stands, better stuff is available thru much easier to access zones in Velious. The mobs may not be any easier, but not being able to leave a zone until you have gone all the way thru it causes major problems.

I guess they think EVERY person playing EQ at the post 50 levels, has nothing else to do - ever. Your in veeshan's eek and your kid falls and breaks his arm "sorry son, I can't take you to the hospital right now - I'm in veeshans peak. We'll be done in about 12 hours. Just hang tight."

They really need to put some married folks with kids on their development team. There are alot of us gaming out here too.

In any role playing game there are "Ultimate" adventures, VP is this place, remember when you went to BlackBurrow for the 1st time and you were so scared.. the music, the mobs, well at level 60 its nice to have that feeling again instead of countless mind numbing hours in Sebilis... 60th Level Shaman LFG!... Life at 60 is great, but if it werent for the things we started playing for in the 1st place, what would be left.

rez in/out
# Jul 24 2001 at 8:29 AM Rating: Decent
I think they might have changed the rez in/out tactic in last patch... I recently dueled a friend of mine so he could get to his bind point in neriak to bank. When he was done I cast revive on him to bring him back and it said this corpse is too old... it had only been 5 minutes.
Anyone verify this? Or was it just a bug at the time i tried it?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the rez timer for dueled deaths is much shorter. /shrug.

How to get out
# Dec 01 2000 at 6:26 AM Rating: Default
I am not sure, but a really nice wizard from the Lanys server told me his guild would die with one worthless item on them, than go to veeshan's peak. If things got bad than a cleric that was left behind would xp raise them.

Paulin (Emerald Alliance)
Lanys

P.S. The wizard's name is Lannwen, but he proply will not be able to talk to you half the time, he is to busy killing dragons.
RE: How to get out
# Sep 06 2001 at 4:51 AM Rating: Default
Rezzing out is actually a good way out of Veeshan's Peak.

But, if you plan on raiding Veeshan's Peak, this means that you will enter it fully equiped, and , as you know already wipeouts are not uncommon in zones such as ToV,VL,Chardok, when ( and not if) you have a wipeout, the rezzing strategy will leave u without equip
RE: How to get out
# Feb 15 2001 at 6:41 AM Rating: Default
The way to get out is easy. Two ways actually. #1 finding a teleport pad, and #2 Res out. What happens is that you bind on top of VP or in DL wiz spires. After you have had your fill of VP, A> If you are fast enough duel yourself out and get revives, or B> duel out, kill yourself at bind spot. Revive back in, res back out. Not too hard to figure it out eh.
RE: How to get out
# Dec 23 2000 at 7:51 PM Rating: Default
Can't u just gate out? Or do u have to go to a teleport or specific area to get out, i know there is a one-way entrance to get in, but gating out seems simple enough.

Walk onto a pad and it drops in the water at the fp docks hehe. Thats a longways from vp~

On another note, this is by far the coolest looking zone in the game. Have killed these dragons many times and the items suck now days but a few still have nifty affects and make it worth coming here for new members and twinks.~
