A Night In DoA

Hello everyone,
Saw a thread here ( closed one ) by Karlos, and thought we should share our achievement as well.

We tend to do these questable areas every nite to farm for gems and gold items.... and on top of that, this is the only part which is challeging in game.

Love to say that ANET definetly made DoA a place which is farmable, challenging and highly rewarding!

Hence last nite, couple of us friends thought we should see if we can work with a build that can be used in all four areas.. and so..


**My group didn't mind their names being mentioned in the picture**
We completed 4 parts of mallyx as shown in the picture above within 6 hours 18 minutes ( ofcourse this includes our breaks, my ISP issues... etc etc etc)

On top of that, we wanted to take picture above, hence, cleared entire room, which costed us about 20 min *sigh*


PS: For people who claim that Anet has made DOA so hard that it is the absolute waste of time... need to realize that they are playing a game. In other words, wasting their lives any way... really.

On the other hand, if you see the loot you collect while doing this run, i find it proper to spend a great deal amount of time.

Collecting gems which are worth over 400k in total within 6-10 hours is not a bad time mark if you think about it.

If we do a run faster than this one, will definetly let you guys know!

EDIT: Since last thread was closed due to Technical ERROR DISCUSSION, and here we countered NONE.. kindly do not Discuss any of them in here. Thankyou

Darkest Elemantal.

Wow. Congratulations!
I am sure I do not speak alone when I say I'd be interested in strategies/team build you used here!

Congratulations again, that screenshot is testament to a significant achievement.

Thankyou

You can contact me in game if you wish to speak to me about DoA

I may potentially be missing something, but that screenshot seems contrived.

I would suggest that the absence of any "dots" to mark your progress through the previous three sections of the DoA in the minimap indicates that you had not in fact visited the three sections other than the foundry. Similarly, none of the dots indicate that you had rescued the third prisoner, General Y. It seems unlikely to me that this picture is not fraudulent, it could be achieved by people taking 4 titan gems each into the foundry, dropping them in the appropriate place and then picking them up again, all together.

I am sorry if this is not an accurate assessment of the screenshot, but maybe people would like to consider this before congratulating you :P

I am sure someone else in riverside province forums can confirm this for me.
Which i do not wish to discuss in his thread as i mentioned above.

If you disconnect and reconnect through the new option, you will have no dots ( I have mentioned in very first post that i have been disconnecting )
You can give it a try your self
Otherwise, how did i get to the middle of foundry without even going through the rooms ?
Meet me in game sometime, and i will simply prove it to u by having you do it for me. Not a hard thing to prove, really

Now the real lucky bastards are those who get mini-pets or ambraces from coffers...and I get ELIXERS of Ewwwwwwww...

*Sigh* i understand your pain with coffers.

I still have quite a few elixirs and Lightbringer's Scrolls left in my inventory.

Wasted about 17 coffers *Sigh*

Best i got out of it was 5 stygians

much congratulations...


i wish i could get people unstressfull so that we could find a way to clear each zone without premade builds...

I recognize Messiah in that group so I figured I'd post and give my congratulations to him and the group!

Very nice work, gratz!!!!!

Could and would you share, with us with how many ppl you did those quests and wich build's you used.... tnx

Well - I guess a disconnection is a fair point. It was precisely the absence of dots from the earlier rooms etc... that led me to think that think initially that it might be a cleverly adapted screenshot, but if you made it around the 4 areas in that short time, then congratulations to you all.

I know that it is possible, it is simply a case of finding a group which is capable of carrying it out PuG's don't seem to be coordinated enough and not being in a guild that actively plays the DoA, I am frequently forced to play with PuG's.

Here's another screenie of the gems after everyone openened the chest.



As you can see they are assigned.

Pug DoA = Ouch

BTW great run, even if the west-coaster's keep us easterners up till 7am

I would go more in DoA if it wasn't 4-6 hours to complete...

Question
How many weapons do Mallyx usually drop and how much does Mallyx's Edge cost?

It takes me that long to find a group to clear one area and I have the time to do it.

I'd love to do this. I'm going to try to run either my ranger or my paragon through here this weekend.

If you must have, I have screen shots of the 4 mission run with all the pretty red dots. I did not get dc. as Darkest did.
