One of my favorite memories is pre MOTU when epic VON3 was just for loot, seals/scrolls/tokens and shits and grins. We had made it to the battle with the three bosses right before the end, with only about three or four deaths. Someone managed to pull all three bosses. After about 40 or 50 deaths, we had killed two of them, but the beholder was parked on the res shrine and killing us about two seconds after we resurrected. It took another 20 or 30 for us to drag him away and kill him what with all our shit being broken. Fun times. Forget Touched by Dollurh, we were Slamfucked by Dollurh.

I used to love Von3 when it was a challenge.  Having the cleric stay back so they don't get killed and be your res-bitch was always a lame tactic, I thought, but it got weak groups through. 

I remember the days of needing someone who could at least scroll raise dead.  Or relying on Undying Call. 


At level 5 you couldn't raise, even with the scrolls... So staying back was chosen randomly to keep one little gimpy alive to carry all the stones to shrine and avoid a wipe & reentry. ( because part 1 is a time waster ).

and IIRC undying Call came long after they killed the old XP bonus system.

Shrug.

That's still 40k with the bonuses straight off the ship in 10ish minutes...
40K for the time it takes to go to one of those fucking quest in Stormhorn ( or King Forest or High Road or Wheloon or Schinfgfsdjihd, and less than it takes to reach a fucking quest in Demonweb ).
And as a added bonus you get commendations...

Off to VON5 for the big XP heap ( and Velah fun )... I'm not running those fucking Faerun quests with the time it takes to reach them, and as long as it's going to take me 10 minutes to reach them any Eberron quest will have more appeal.

Lol, wiz king 15 minutes? For you to solo two towers sure. If you have a group of 3 people who aren't incompetent, 7-8 minutes for completion and 3 towers cleared.

I tried the /lift command - didn't work. Does that 5 minutes include clearing the base floor? Mhmm.

I knew it was lies.

Anyways, back to the point, your average good player should be taking ~7 minutes a tower.

15 mins... to COMPLETE THE QUEST THREE TIMES is what he was saying. I bet a stopwatch would show higher.. but whatever. Depends on the toon I guess.
