Hey guys I'm new to the game, currently enjoying it. I'm on the storyline quest future perfect. And it requires me to go to a camp in Mor Dhana (sp?). Anyhow, each path I tried to take have high lvl mobs who one shot me or kill me rather fast. I'm currently level 46 drg.
The first path I took was through the black shroud. Turns out the path I needed to take ended up to be underneath me and I couldn't find a way down, so I got chain pulled to death by a giant toad.
The second time I tried to get there from Coerthas, I was almost at the camp until some lvl 94 dragon type mob one shot me. There were two blocking the path from both sides.
I don't even understand why there are such high level mobs when the level cap is 50?
Anyhow, I'd appreciate some help, advice or even a port there. Because its rather frustrating to spend so much time running there only to die to mobs who I have no chance against.

Both Toads and Basilisks (Peiste is the Type) are sight aggro, you can run behind their backs.

What about the dragon mobs? Two literally blocked the way to the camp.

Part of it is sneakiness skill, the other part is luck. If you keep having trouble avoiding the mobs, get someone to teleport you.
Brings back the fun of half the quests in XI involving going through very dangerous areas where you will be killed on sight. Except in that game, you lose your levels. In this, you lose a couple minutes of time. -
08-11-2012, 11:00 AMDomiraIts definitely not fun.Quote:

Yeah those are called Rainbow Basilisks, they're Peiste type. Look like Snakes with legs. Salamanders and Drakes are different and are sound aggro.

08-11-2012, 11:16 AMRjainYou and I have different definitions of fun.Quote:

08-11-2012, 11:21 AMDomiraI'll definitely try that when I attempt the quest again. Thanks for the tip. I really wish they told you these things in game though.Quote:

08-11-2012, 11:23 AMDomiraMost definitely we do. I don't find losing levels exciting or the tediousness of wasting tons of time running back over and over. It would be different if it was clear what I was doing wrong, but in this case its not. If I didn't ask on the forums I wouldn't of ever guessed the mobs had different stealth type properties. Its the first time I've ever seen that in a mmo and I've played a lot of them.Quote:

Edit 2: You are right. Either I've encountered a "rare" glitch on many occasions or they changed it recently. At the time I first went to Mor Dhona, slow walking by drakes never worked. More recently last year, slow walking to Four Sisters didn't work if the drakes turned around. And, doing a coliseum faction leve, a drake aggro'd me while I was standing still. So, they detect by sound, but it's not guaranteed.
Edit 3: Someone told me that not all drakes aggro just by sound and that they too get aggro'd by sight often, so yeah. -
08-11-2012, 11:54 AMDomiraSo how do I make it to the camp then? All I want to do is finish my quest :(Quote:

08-11-2012, 11:57 AMRjainThe majority of people on your server have probably already been there. Ask someone to teleport you if you don't want to walk. Otherwise, just keep trying.Quote:

If you were on Hyperion I would just tele you to the gate. Some of the mobs that are sight such as the raptors you do need to have some patience to get past them since they are sight. I forget what other mobs are on that path I'll see if i can find you a map with a path laid out on it I believe i used one myself a long time ago for this missionQuote:

I highly suggest going from Camp crimson bark > > Murmur Mills if you have it. If you can reply if you do have them I can lay out a path for you to follow.

There is an easy path to the place you need to go, it's in the black shroud through crimson bark. You just need to stay on the upper path and the only aggro mobs you should run into are 47-49 boars. And all drakes I've encountered are sound aggro, but piestes and drakes are two different types of mobs. Mor Dhona has piestes, not drakes, and piestes aggro to sight, so you have to run behind them. Patience is the key to not getting one shotted.

08-11-2012, 12:17 PMDomiraYes I have that camp.Quote:

08-11-2012, 12:31 PMDomiraOh no, they were right near the camp entrance. You see where the road begins to turn purple near the camp to the far left on the map? They were right there and I'm sure they were lvl 94 lol.Quote:

You can walk past everything besides the raptors and you should be about here on the map when your free of mobs
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...3-07-35-75.jpg
Take a left here
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...3-07-52-45.jpg
Should look like this on map if you take this left
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...3-08-05-31.jpg
Your basically safe to run after above part but will post pics just to be covered
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...3-09-03-98.jpg
Here you go down to the lower level
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...3-09-39-37.jpg
And you can see on map zone to mor dhona is a bit further up the path leading to zone is also safe

I hope this helps with the Black shroud part for you -
08-11-2012, 12:38 PMBlossomingHmm ok I'll try to do the same with Mor Dhona with you will take me some time to put it together like this one let me know if the Black shroud one helped you out or not.Quote:

That guide seems helpful yes. Also, thanks so much for taking the time to try to help me. I really appreciate it, same applies too everyone else in this thread who pitched in advice.

08-11-2012, 12:47 PMBlossoming
I'm putting together the Mor Dhona part right now should be up shortly its going off of the zone from the last guide.

Ok seriously people. The pictures shown in the thread so far are of Drakes(Not in the OPs way) and Ahrimans(Floating Eyes, which may be in the way). Drakes are sound, Ahriman are sight, ie run behind them. The L90+ Mobs in Mor dhona that are in the way are of the type Peiste, the NPC name there is Rainbow Basilisk, they are sight, so you run behind them without worry.
-
08-11-2012, 12:54 PMispanoThose are Rainbow Basilisk, they're Peiste if you use that Aetherial Gate guide, ie they are sight aggro. They don't fly.Quote:

Yeah. Different mobs behave differently. I explored all of Mor Dhona at lvl 36. Turns out the best way to explore is in your underware. This keeps your armor from being damaged. Try staying as far away from everything as possible. Never walk in front of anything. Never run by some mobs. Never walk past others. For example I always run past Ahrimans until they stop chasing me. Never get too close to hogs or peistes. Lots of rules for successful exploring. I just found out the best way past Napalm Bombs is choco past and hope you make it. Best policy is just be super careful until you know all the mobs and their weaknesses. Good Luck.

You will see this spot that looks like somewhat of a deadend but its actually connected you are going to go through that

For the Eyes your going to have to pick a good time to run through though these are fairly low about lvl 53 so they are not too hard to get past even if you aggro

This is where the peistes are they are sight and you only need to have patience to get past them I believe there is only 3-4 that pop
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...3-45-19-01.jpg
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...3-45-37-98.jpg
After the peistes you can see the gate up ahead I hope this helps
