re: Rakghoul Event INCOMING!!! (Guide included)

Before the servers just went down, I took screenshots of the Rakghoul Event for confirmation

See the gallery I created for the Rakghoul event for the screenshots:

re: Rakghoul Event INCOMING!!! (Guide included)

well, I HOPE it works like last time, either way

 

 

 

last time it basically worked like this:

 

you got infected > you got the disease > you exploded (debuff timer)

 

when you exploded you spread the infection in a radius (not sure how far, 5 meters I guess)

 

in pvp there was the bonus that it also was a 4 sec (I think) stun, so people who were about to explode ran into the enemies. much lulz ensured! (especially since there were people around who hated it. lol)

 

I admit it caaan be annoying in PVE when someone explodes in the middle of a bossfight but.. WHO CARES! let's explode!

 

 

 

being infected/exploding was the way to get the rakghoul DNA last time, btw.

and the vaccine protected you from getting infected (not sure if it also cleanses the infection when you already have it. I never used it. exploding was just way too much fun. hehe)

The Rakghoul event on Tat was one of the best experiences I've had in game! Can't wait!

alright to those who haven't seen it yet, the event is only lasting until next week (Jan 28th)


 


I'd really like to get a few more groups than just the one tonight going for the world boss (the Eyeless) and maybe some achievement hunting this week-end (original plan was to go to Hoth but I think this can be done next week :P)

I have 5 55's and can run it multiple times.  IMO I think that normal raiding should always take precedence to special events due to the limited time nature of the special events.

re: Rakghoul Event INCOMING!!! (Guide included)

I'm not sure how it works exactly with the scaling, but you only need a char of lvl 20 or something, actually, so I plan on doing it on lowbie chars. (though not sure if that is a good idea for hardmode.lol)

 

obviously i didn't mean this should happen instead of a normal raided schedule, just that I'd really like to do this for completionist purposes (and stuff)

eh. does that make sense? lol

 

 

 

 

 

either way, I also put on an achievement run up for this saturday for the event, but that is not for the killing of the boss but the other achievements. (the tunnel roamer randomly spawning boss, killing 1000 rakghouls, whatever else there is)

Eyeless isn't the world boss.  he's the operation boss.   outside of the tunnels there is a world boss for this event too.   we will need healers since i saw the imps having some trouble but they had alot of dps to help defeat it.  idk if that will be up to today but that's another thing we could do

re: Rakghoul Event INCOMING!!! (Guide included)

that's the one I meant for the achievement run, which is why I put it in () that I mean the eyeless. it's inside an instance, but I really only consider it an operation if it's ... well.. an operation, not just one boss fight :P


(semantics, semantics)

re: Rakghoul Event INCOMING!!! (Guide included)

There are several achievement catagories for the event. One, is related to pets mainly.  You have to obtain some from Jeelic, the others are rare drops from several bosses.  There's also A TON of achievements for killing the Tunnel Lurker with different rakling pets.


The world boss that Waars was talking about is Shellshock, right outside the Spike. It's a World Boss and requires quite a few guys to take it down.  It drops a infected pet (creeper thing) and a sample that is BOP that is needed for the new mounts!  We really need to down this guy since you need like 4 samples for the Dewback alone!  The other 2 pets will come from the WBs on Corellia and Tat.


There are also Fungus rakghouls in key areas of the tunnels.  They are champions, but can easily be soloed (I did). They each have a chance to drop another rare sample needed for the mounts.  Each mount only needs one though, so don't worry about farming it. There is an achievement though for killing each one 5 times!


Timing on the go, so sorry if I missed something Happy
