	YaBB sometimes doesn't show the next page. It shows that a post was made in the main forums list, but it will occasionally show the last post on the previous page, instead of the new post on the new page. So people type YaBB to kick the forum software in the ass to let them view the post.

	YaBB is the PhPBB implementation the Vault uses, and like anything DDO related it has it's bugs... As described above.

	If you hit quote you also see the previous few posts below the edit frame without having to force a blank post. Then just abandon.� It's amazing how often YABB hides posts that should be hidden.

	I just realized that the voice for the missives in the Wheloon explorer area is spot on for Burgomeister Meisterburger from the Rankin and Bass Santa Claus is Comin' to Town.

	What's the deal with the Stupid White Dragon in Breaking Ranks? I've run this quest three times and we always just ignore it and let it shower cold spells on us from afar. At least it has the decency to stop when the shrine appears so that we can get a rest in.

	If you fire an arrow at the dracolich, it gives you a DM message along the lines of, "The dracolich's wounds close instantly. Only the truly brave can face this opponent." I assume you have to ring the bell to call the baddies without a rest before you can fight it, but I haven't confirmed that myself.

I did the quest by completing every optional, and I believe the DM said the Dracolich left so we couldn't fight him at the end. Not sure tho, because last time I tried (and wanted to look at the dragon closely), my client froze for several minutes on completion (because I had just gained 25 TP from favor), so I died from the trash that had just spawned.

	I ran EE What Goes Up again last night. It seems that the Shadar-kai and Netherese mages are the only mobs that respawn endlessly. At certain points, other mobs will spawn but not respawn if you kill them. These other mobs must be killed in order to progress the fight. First wave is a shitload of orcs. When they are all dead, take out the pillars, fight the boss for a while, and then the ice elementals will spawn. Kill them, then the Shadovar will appear. Finally, another wave of orcs appears alongside the boss. These orcs don't necessarily need to be killed to fight the boss, but it makes it easier if you do so. We were paying more attention this time. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that this is how this quest works. You definitely want a babysitter for the Shadar-kai, unless you really don't mind dealing with them.

	Ice ellies spawn when you take the boss down a little, I think - in none of the runs I've done were all the orcs nor all the pillars dead when the ice ellies spawned.

	The shadar-kai assassins stop respawning at some point. I suspect it's either when all pillars are down or when ice ellies spawn, not sure. They do seem to endlessly respawn before that though.

	If I were rating them easiest to hardest: Stormhorns: Lines of Supply Trackers Trap A break in the Ice Breaking the Ranks What Goes Up Wheloon: Friends in Low Places Army of Shadow Lesson in Deception Thrill of the Hunt Through a Mirror Darkly Overall, I feel like the Stormhorns series is the tougher of the two chains. Although, most of the Shadar Kai Assassins in Wheloon are more deadly just because the majority of the quests are indoors and the range on their chain attack is insanely large. It's much easier to avoid the attack and kill them from afar in Stormhorns.

I more or less agree with this assessment with WGU being the hardest quest in the expansion. But even that's being beaten now in BYOH pugs.

The assassins absolutely stop respawning at some point. Or it's possible there's a large but limited number. I've done multiple EE runs now where assassins were kited until ice ellies were up, then killed and no more appeared.
