Well Screw It.

I just need to accept the fact that I can not beat Temple of Qarn. Its a level 35 dungeon, and here I am level 42.. and still unable to finish it.

I have ran this dungeon about 6 times, most of which results in terrible players just giving up and quitting because they cant figure out the mechanics. However, last night I finally get into a good party, we steam rolled right through the dungeon.

Had about 55 minutes left on the clock for the final boss, we wipe twice, and our other dps just said oh well and bails. I couldnt believe it, especially since we had him down to about 10% both times.

He was replaced by a series of terrible first timers who had no clue what to do. So I have officially said to hell with it... its optional anyways right? I am just gonna do the story dungeons for now.

On a side note... is there any real purpose to the optional dungeons aside from side story?

Get a FC, watch videos to try to explain the fight to others. I have been fortunate where someone knew the fight and could explain it. We may have died a few times, but it was fun.

Qarn drops green weapons at the last boss.

I recall a couple of bosses are needed for GC rank progression

Some optional dungeons... such as wanderer palace gives things like tomes for darklight or relic pieces that drop inside that you may want for later levels till.... you build myths or can run coil but for some dungeons like qarn its just generally for gear gathering which is a so-so thing considering af can hold you till you can run wp or cm for tomes.

Qarn has GC hunting logs for Twin Adder which means it needs to be done to finish rank 2.

oh, i totally forgot the GC..... xD kinda finished most of mines..... so its just sitting there till Im not lazy and decide to do the rest of the monsters in the fields.... @-@

am gnna agree with you. boss fights are quiet clever & frustrating for newbies liek me.

i only run those dungeon jus once based on storyline.

hw bout ask ur FC buddies

I feel for you. I am learning as hard as i can as a tank but it is not easy with the changes...thank goodness for both skilled players and players who are patient and understanding for those of us who are learning. Both make a huge differnce in the fun of the game.

I personally find the game fun with players who are new and willing to learn, to be honest as long as they are willing then I am always willing to try to help them learn just like I ask people to be patient with me in my first runs with certain battles/dungeons too. xD

Each GC rank 2 hunting logs requires killing one of the bosses and certain trash in Qarn.

If you think Qarn was bad though... Now that AV is mandatory to access the rank 3 hunting log... good luck that place is worse lol.

I love doing Qarn! It's honestly one of my favourite dungeons. My experience with it though is as a Tank so I haven't had to deal with the stress that DPS have during the encounters ('cause let's admit it, this is definitely the "DPS get to shine" dungeon).

Well I already completed Rank 2 of my Grand Company Hunting Log, thankfully I had to kill the first boss and not the final boss haha. I am just going to do stone vigil and maybe someday when I am bored I will try this Qarn again, but for not I am over it lol. I did notice one thing I was doing wrong though, when he summons the black box lasers, you need to be in the box with them to do any damage.

I just thought they were stronger and unkillable, was unaware you needed to be inside the box.

OMG! I am on Goblin. I will help you! I'll contact my fellow FC officers and get you invited to our FC.
