So, i've heard that if you go to Pagan Temple with more than 5 members, some get ported out. Is there a way to avoid this, or is it simply only possible to go there with a 5 man party?
pagen temple is a awesome place to lvl at... XP is really good so are the drops.
the place is designed for small parties...which is a brilent idea!
you have to be lvl 73+ to get in, most mobs are 76 to 80 something.
you can head inside with a 4 man party or a 5 man party. once you hit 6 people in your party it will start to randomly move them back to town.
I highly suggest that you take a BD with you, the dmg you will need specailly if you go to the chaple mobs.
And the mobs are all dark based so holy weapon and turn undead works in there. they drop "dark crystal" which negates dark based status debuffs...inother words shots off dark vortex (possible gloom to maybe).
Mon of silence does the opiset, and drops holy weapon type...I guess that works agenst light vortex.
and yes, PT is liek the best xp spot for melee/archers EVER. if you have a prophet or se out of party with prophecy, a bd, and a se... you can **** that place for better xp than FOD solo.
phheewww just got through my first party there. We have
76 bd
69 bd (me)
76 sws
wc sub
74 dagger
We went in and I was a bit scared lol. We got buffed up, did our dances and went to it. Mobs hit pretty hard but we were going good. Then one got a crit drain on the lead bd and he died and I soon followed.
After a brez session we went back again and someone else died. So we brezzed him and tried on more time.
The last time things went smooth, got a few hours in with no problems. XP is about 8-10k per mob non-physical resist but have lots of drain attacks and are pretty dangerous.
Overall a fun place to go. You can also explore a bit too...while just moving around i took this screenie
Did a group there the other day with SE, BD, AW, me, cardinal, and an oop prophet. Xp is amazing, also you can get in before 73 but only as a sacrifice so there's a good chance you'll be killed as you enter in the entryway. But if you have abrez or a bishop it's an easy fix.
I need to go there, nameless. PM me if ya wanna team up ingame. We may have to switch over to our Spectral Dancer/Sword Muse mains tho. I don't wanna die. :D
We tried it with a BD, SE and 3 nukers, ranging from 74 to 77. It was ok as long as we only pulled a few mobs, but when we accidentally pulled the entire chapel, it resulted in some deaths and BSOEs. Now that we know what the mobs are like, we'll be better prepared next time.
Been in there a few times, and when you get deeper in the rooms get insane, like 30-40 lvl 85+ mobs in a small space, who respawn as soon as they die (or seems like it...)
Still trying to find out what the quest gives you, the collect 2k items one, been told either a enchant scroll, s grade recs, or something different, anyone any ideas?
Melee groups seem to work best, esp. if u have vr, bd/sws/dd/se/dd or bh and out of party buffs.
Id suggest have the 6th person come out of party, that has the pass to get in. Prolly a buffer or something that dont need to be in group..
Sigh..... Prophet LFG
Anyway - this is a descent place - was in there for several hours a few weekends back - as a PROPHET. Made about 16-17% in about 6-7 hours at level 74.
And no - I won't go in alone or out of party - and I am not sorry about that either....
I have never been in a group above 7x where we had an OOP buffer. The areas are usually very dangerous and you need real players to be able to react to changing scenarios. Places like TOI etc really dont matter though.

You can buff with a 9man if you want, but don't hit any mob with more than 5 people in party and your safe.
first one : after a big door, you enter into a very large square room white doors around. max party members 5.
second one : after a second big door, you enter into a large corridor with open room. max party members 5 (but not sure, we never tried)
thrid one : you need the skill for open the thrid door (15 keys is need but not sure, i never opened this door coz i'm FS). max party members : 9 (yes 9... very good spot to AoE melee party. Our party is : 1 tank, 1bd, 1sws, 1healer, 1buffer, 1SE and 3 pole users). XP very nice, drops (like usual...) poor, and spoil S parts. area can bleed you, and mobs drain HP. There is a RB too...aggro RB btw.
There is 2 quest : 1 for enter without attacks from guardians at the entrance, 1 for pagan totem (2000 items = 1EWS)
The first one (ty stratics): http://lineage2.stratics.com/content/library/quests/index.php?id=15201
this guide is incomplete, coz the mark you will earn is false. so after earned the mark go into the pagan temple, pass the GK, go open the first big door. Come back to Rune and go back to see priest flaudron, you'll have some mobs to kill into FotD...
The second one : i don't remember if it's Priest Dominic or High Priest Innocentin you need to see (one is for pagan temple, other is for Monastory).

Actually the guide is quite complete. The actual quest is to obtain the Visitor's Mark, which is what the quest is for. :)
Once you use the Visitor's Mark to enter the Pagan's Temple, it becomes "faded."
A faded mark can be replenished after you complete the SECOND part of the quest, called "Through the Gate Once More." It is during this second quest you kill mobs in Forest of the Dead.
The second guide will be posted in a bit. I have several others to submit first. :)
