Heyas all!

Mini and me had a very successful weekend in the catacombs. That adventurer got himself 2 Tier 2 Adventurer Armor parts made...

...and I got out alive after many hours of mindless dredging to trade a bunch of Wills, Advents and a fould Embryo for a:

Second Tier Soldier Helmet

Grats Sid :)))

Aye... I have to agree with Smac tho.. I've been out with a few guys n gals from Apoc lately and I have to agree that Embryo farming sucks giant men's anatomy in hell so it does :(((((

I literally have everything I need for every piece of Tier 2 but not a single embryo lol. Such is the luck of Jpegg :(

Cheating is baad, mmkay? :wink:

But seriously... spending 100 Mil or more for a red/purple glyph combo would be huting my cash-stash.

I am only at 15 Mil at the moment and I still need to upgrade to Yuttous NCU, 4 slot Rad Arul Sabas and I desperately need better symbs. I am teetering on the brink of gimpdom as it is.

*sigh*

Thats a LOT of Ely Hecklers to kill...

Could I maybe book the services of a high level NT in this guild to do 2 hours of Heckler kiting for me? I offer my body in return....

OMG, how low have I gotten... will prostitute for ingots :oops:

Got an embryo yesterday, using the method Quezt tought me :)

FYI, with a runspeed of about 1200+ it's not too hard to blitz to the very end of the catacombs in Pen (taking the left passage in spirit room), where the mobs are only lvl 200-210 and can be killed quite fast solo or with a small group. There's only 6 spawn points in this area, so it might not be worth while for more than 3 people to camp here.

Hmm, that method might be good for Sols/Engis, but I can tell you from painful experience a fixer(207)/NT(208) have serious difficulty down there... and soloing would be very difficult indeed, if not totally out of the question :(

Still, I'm up for trying in a small team if anyone wants to give it a go :)

No more cat fighting - I logged all of your gutter talk anyway 8) - everyone knows who was spamming the Troxes with dirty talk.

I can only tell you what I do:

- 1350ish runspeed
- full def
- no pets
- don't ever stop until you are beyond the staircase after the main boss room (put 2 doors between yourself and the train)

Has worked for me several times, have only pulled 1 mob past the first door, but luckily managed to solo it.

Important! When going as a team, only ONE person must do this at a time, then wait for mobs to reset before next blitzer.
