quick question, how many parts are there to this quest?
on part 7 stuck on making a violet crystalline lattice
MANY! XD
*hisses at creatures that want coveted lairshaping parts*
I didn't do this quest for the longest time. I NEED my parts :X
Wait till you get to the dead priest in the middle of the desert that demands like 5 dye kits one at a time. Oh maaaan my wings were sore :(
(sorry, I forget how many but you're about halfway)
About halfway:eek: sheesh this quest is longQuote:

Nods* dunno either (*elimination of memories^^:p)
10 parts.. Violet Lattices is the last crafting task..
Can't remember when you need the 5 different dyes, but let me know as I may still have spares from when hubby did the quest
I have completed this quest now, way to much crafting but was glad to avenge allothos death :)
need more quest were we kill peds like that :)
This is a dumb question, but who do you talk to to start the quest line?
Grats Blue. You talk to Allathos in the Demon Lair, which is south of Delgarath.
not bring up an old post.. but I've tried talking to her and she keeps sending me away saying I'm a dream.. how do I get her to talk to me? Any ideas?
you are ancient?
Attuned to Delgarath?
yes I am on both questions
do you have to have ascended for it to count as being ancient? because I have not ascended yet.. waiting for a few people to show up for it.
Yes. Your character has to be flagged as Ancient.
awww pooh!! :;sighs:: okay thanx
Anyone need them that can't craft their own - I have several lattices listed on the Bristigo connie.
It surprises me honestly how many people have not done this quest. :x
The quest itself is nice.
But the spell reward sucks really really bad... to be gentle.
My suspicion is a combination of:Quote:

-The reward mostly blows. I've never been able to see the spell effect (prolly a bug on my end); the mobs I've tried it on have almost always either dodged or soaked 99% of the damage; rather long cast time; as I recall rather high Primal requirement (which turns a lot of folk off). I was so excited when I got the spell having read the spell flavor and all the narrative buildup to it. I have NEVER been able to kill a critter with it. Ever. Even mostly dead ones. I think I might have finally kicked it off my hotkey list for something more useful.
Just my suspicions.
I'll take a look at both the spell itself and creating a "tie-in" to the lair.

I really love that.
I use this spell to impress hatchies..like the "BOOM" spell..^^;)
Seriously: I use Volcano more often- but is DW so much weaker than bipeds epic-spells?
Can anyone tell?
Cool. Thanks for the peak. The questgiver's lair isn't that FAR away from everything, but there's nothing really else to send people that way as I recall. A lot of folk knew about it when it went in cuz we had to build the lair. But most of those folk are no longer around. :(Quote:

Now the Arts cool.. but the other dragon 4 AOE's... Preety useless... Nothing shiney to make them used.. to make dragons impressive... Kinda stinks for Heliens who need primal spells but again.. they dont not enough damage to a level 75 with the higest spell... aoe... blasts a Curcle... tempest, Curcle,.. gust.. Curcle... and whats the last one? Barrage.. a curcle...Quote:

All the spell casters in this game suffer from much lower damage output than meele or even ranged classes. Also most of the abilities towards spell casting are having much longer cooldowns and dragons can't even get them at all. For example in bipeds multicast is the equivalent to multistrike, IIRC multistrike has a 2min cooldown, multicast 10min. For Dragons it's even worse.. you get ravage, gold rage, silver rage... all do multiple meele strikes but there is nothing to have a spell striking your enemy multiple times.
Joking, aren't you? (not aimed at Garfonso, but at the previous posters)
The only nice thing about the Drulkar's Wrath is the spell animation. I agree it is marvelous. The quest itself, albeit a bit too long, it is also marvelous.
But then what do you get?
10 minutes recycle for a spell that barely does twice (or it is less than that?) the damage of a regular teched spell like Blast?
And all those while being advertised as the ultimate mean of destruction?
Come'on
The raw DPS of the so called epic spells should be way better than the regular teched spells.
I'm also wondering who is serious and who isn't. I use the spell to kill bronze golems when harvesting because that's all it's good for. And impressing hatchies... anything else dodges it or it does so little damage that the few ticks of my auto attack or a simple barrage spell are better.
This is on my primalist -and- melee character so if someone has a loadout where this spell isn't totally useless, please post here what the magic stat numbers are, maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Much as I agree that this epic spell is most likely under-powered, I don't feel that I can properly boost it given the state of the Dragon school in general.
Primal Cast.Quote:

Also the same 3 minutes recycle should be applied to all epics - more specifically to Drulkar's Wrath since this topic is dedicated to it.
@amon, all casting abilites of Dragons are underpowered, but epics and ancient only spell and abilities are even more underpowered.
Anyway, it was just a sugestion, nothing more, based mostly on the fact that
Blast V + Primal Damage V on 30s recycle does roughly 50% damage of the damage dealth by DW which has a recycle 20 times bigger.
Even on 3 minutes recycle it will be weaker DPS wise than Blast V, but coupled with Primal Cast could show some potential...
Primal Cast is NOT Ancient-only. Last I'd checked it required Adult due to flying, but they might have changed that too. Still not as great as things like Gold Rage, but realistically, nothing in the game is. Except Gold Rage.
Thanks for the response Amon! Sad we can't expect a buff to this spell due to other things being too good, but I'd love to see some sort of breadcrumbs or hints about that lair being there in-game. Even if the spell at the end isn't the be-all end-all, I heartily approve of more awareness of the quests. Because mmm, LORE.

If DW did 2k damage then the 10 min counter would suit the spell... It would match the Discription too... When you make Spells you gotta match them to the Discription... If you dont well the Results we are already are seeing...
I dont mind the Damage... i just like the Art animation.. so 3 mins is a good idea gotta remember tho it USES hoard points so...
Any way...
At least Change the Art for the Dragons OTHER AOE stuff.. Then idc about the damage output on them.. I just want to cast a tempest tornado.. not a Partical of defult rings..
Wemm Amon... can you think that would do?
Sorry, no can do.Quote:

realy epic animation.
and what I think about mechanics?
well, I think Drulkar's praying realy epic action, to make it too often, so I prefea not to low cooldoun time (and maiby rise it) but do effect more dreadfull.
isn't it a God's wrath?
so let it slain all and every common creatures in one blow. (every expret of epic bosses.)
It must be very atmospheric.
PS; I hear, that wrath and volcano affects each other. can't tell for sure, do not have volcano yet. but it may be even interesting: volcano with low dmg and short cooldown, and wrath with great dmg and long cooldown.
or it is imposible? and both cooldowns at same time?
Pretty sure all Epic spells (Volcano, Drulkar's Wrath, Dark Cyclone and Shinning Blades) all share 100% timers, with all spells on a 10min timer. Obviously dragons cannot get the latter two, and peds cannot get Drulkars Wrath (and DC/SB are not castable by any of the same schools). Volcano is definitely the best for a ped (combined with Fusion Burn, Perfect Spell and Multi-Cast), while Dark Cyclone is a close second. [Shinning Blades sucks, no two ways around that]Quote:

It sure would be nice if Epic Spells were auto-hit for max damage, and preferably if there could do over 2k damage to each mob in range... Given the 10min cooldown, it does make sense in my mind :)
Happy hunting, see yas in Istaria :)
Keep enjoying it cause both Volcano and DW sucks in terms of damage/recycle (or plain DPS).Quote:

Well, i guess we cant have it all
We can sure want it though ;)Quote:
