Dragonfight at Stronghold


In guild's stronghold zone, there are four dragons, one in each of the four cardinal corners (NW(red), NE (blue), SW(black), SE(green)). Start an event to fight them that lasts 10 minutes either by using a golden bell (purchased on zen market, 500zen, 5 uses), or by talking to the Travelling Wizard that shows up at the stronghold near the large rock. He shows up randomly, but is there more often than not. If he isn't, just wander around inside the castle for a minute until he shows up.

 


Rules:

1. Once starting the event, you'll have one minute to 'stage' before the dragons arrive.

2. Once the dragons arrive, you have 10 minutes to kill them. However, you can get almost 11 minutes, because after the first dragon dies the 10-minute timer disappears and a one-minute timer begins to kill the other 3 before they flee. So if you kill the first dragon at 9 minutes 30 seconds, you'd have another minute, bringing the total time to 10 minutes 30 seconds theoretically.

3. If more than 19 people are near any given dragon at the same time, that dragon becomes immune to damage. This is why we form two primary groups, one for north and one for south dragons.

4. You can see all four dragons' hitpoints as a % in the top-right side of the screen (direct under the minimap). This is important, and all players should be aware of this and be keeping an eye on it, especially after the two teams break away from NW and SW to head to NE and SE (see strategy below).

5. Use lanterns and banners as your main artefacts because this buffs all the members staying around you! Take all your beverages and food you can! (normal buff food, guild buff food, Buff beverages from WoD)


6. During fighting the blue dragon dismiss all companions except the augmentet companions (like Iouns Stones, Bullet Puppy).

 

7. During the Dragonfight only the Caller is writing in the Que-Grp-Channel.  Communications for the DF just happens in the Que-Grp-Channel and not in Alliance- or Guild-Channel.

 

 


Strategy:

1. It would be good to be at least 30 people to get two groups of 15, but the best size is 38 ppl (two grp of 19 ppl). Call for DF 15 mins before it starts in Guildchannel and inv all Guildies to Que-Grp-Channel. 10 Mins befor DF starts call in Alliance channel and inv all to que grp.

2. Try to split the support classes like Clerics, Oathbound Paladins and Guardian Fighters to all que grp partys. If you have an uneven number of paladins or clerics, send the extra one to north team as the NE dragon is the strongest.

3. Once quegroups are set, the two large teams (first 19 ppl and second 19 ppl) head to Northwest and Southwest dragon spawns.

4. When the teams arrive at the NW and SW dragon spawns, get everyone in groups. Build partys as the Quegrp-Partys!

5. One person starts the event at the keep.

6. During the dragon fights, keep an eye out for Dragon Empowerers. These guys spawn and buff the dragon, so you want to take them out ASAP when they spawn.

7. Damage the NW (red) and SW (black) dragons down to around 10% or a little less, then the groups break off and head to NE and SE dragons respectively.

9. The large groups should by this point be at NE and SE dragon spawns. They proceed to DPS both of them down. Whichever one is damaging theirs faster should slow down/stop if they get it to less than 5% to let the other team catch up. Maybe some form SE need to go to NE (blue) Dragon to support.
