Easy mob, can get to him in 20minutes.

I suggest 10 STR 10 STA and +2 to all resists to be added to make it worthwhile. Thanks.
 
What is the rarity of each item? If the FR mask that is deep in is the common, and the other mask is the rare, then this shouldn't be too much of a problem.
 
Its the only one on the server as far as i know and there are a lot of festering masks. Like i said, one is easy to get, other is really hard.
 
Perhaps the Festering Mask needs some hp or stats removed? The Mask of Meddling is alot better than the Festering Mask hands down though. Upgrading the Mask of Meddling would put it into low tier raid masks area, if it isn't already.

(see: Wind-fused Visor)
 
I'd say its harder to get the mask of meddling than the wind-fused wisor. This is just a suggestion tho :)

Wind-Fused visor still crushes the mask of meddling tier-wise. Unless meddling is extraordinarily rare, wind-fused should cleanly beat it in quality.
 
Oh and AWT is a mob you can port directly to, the FR one who drops this is a 3 hour clear, if you dont wipe and you can, easily.
 
I don't know, the clear to the mob that drops this mask is quite long and hard, will have to do AWT again to compare. (Waiting for Zhak input (who will crush me, hehe))

I agree the difference between this mask and the festering one should be bigger, perhaps change regen for a small attack buff (?) or downgrade the festering a little. It's fairly easy to get.

Just my 2cp.

Any force capable of doing AWT could do the FR guy in their sleep and hit half a dozen other nameds while they were at it.

Will test AWT, its been long since we've killed it. Will report here.
We kill it with 18 and we're up to tier 5 now(for mask of course, one of two needed so far out of two kills.) We're pretty much oom when the fight is over from it's AE with everyone sitting at 5k or more mana(6k at most.)

Also Zhak with his shm and two other forsaken members used to kill it as four to get people the mask, but I'm not really sure how they did it. I remember watching them do it and not having to deal with the AE much if at all but it's been awhile. Maybe fight was changed or maybe resists play a factor, but as my guild stands if it can be resisted, we sure can't resist it right now. But again it's been awhile, maybe they had to deal with the AE too and to my eyes it's just hard to notice when their casters probably have 7-8k buffed HP or whatever. I would guess a exodus group can one group AWT though, no problem.
 
So we killed AWT, i can say he is quite a bit easier than FR guy. He also dropped 2 items, unlike FR guy. Also, it took a total of ~5minutes to kill him.


edit: both done with the same group, except on AWT we had 1 cleric instead of 1 enchanter

Ended oom on Advisor in FR, had 60m left on AWT.

Haha, fair enough. Even so, though, you've got to admit a group of 18 that would have serious trouble with AWT could stomp advisor into the dirt. In general, we've got to be very careful with making dungeon loot that competes with raid gear--dungeon mobs respawn faster and are almost always trivialized when you bring 18 dudes. Even as it is now, any guild that could do AWT would be much better off farming FR; it wouldn't be a good idea for us to make that worse.
 
Actually, no. Im pretty sure that guilds that can barely do AWT couldnt do FR easily. Even getting to him is really, really hard. He alone is harder than AWT, too. I was 80m when AWT was dead, oom on FR guy :)

You don't think an 18 man crew could handle clearing through FR? That sounds like a challange!

Any lower-end guilds feel like stepping up to the plate?

Could I'd think, however the sheer amount of time involved in clearing through fr would be waaaay more than going to awt. Which means more chances for a wipe too.

Er, a 6-man CW crew has cleared pretty deep into Tarhyl-mob territory. And we stayed there for awhile even when it dropped down to a 4 man crew. I realize we're more middle end than lower end but Rom did note that we still have trouble with AWT (mostly because AWT is an utter asshole).

Frankly I don't think there's much of anything in FR that an 18-man crew couldn't wipe out, short of maybe the stuff just outside the ToT ent which I'll admit I know little about.
