Nine Swords

Hi Everyone

This thread is to see if there is sufficient interest to run a regular Lair Run every week at an EU friendly time. There are lairs in every zone and the overarching strategy would be to eventually do them all - there are achievements for completing each one.

Lairs are suitable for anyone who has some QL10 stuff or above and are a great way to get green and blue signets, blue QL10 gear and plenty of XP. Plus a smashing way to get to know your cabal mates better in a much less pressured environment than dungeons! There are also 3 Regional Bosses who drop Purple stuff.

They're about as difficult as Elite level dungeons but without a lot of the special attacks and other mechanics. I did a few with my previous cabal and it really helped with my confidence and the feeling of being part of team.

The raid can be for up to 10 players, usually in two traditional Tank, Heals, 3 DPS groupings, but depending on which players come, this can be flexible.

There's a bunch of guides in the rather wonderful Nine Swords forum (PVE Guide section), here's the intro one:

and another thread in the TSW forums:

With the other regular events going on, it looks like there are only Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday slots free after the 7.00pm (UK) flappy - so 7.30 ish. Allow about an hour for us to complete the three Lair missions, kill any bigger bosses that we can summon and then laugh with glee at all the loot we have amassed. I reckon we could start next week if there is enough interest - beginning Monday 17 March.

Well Naite and I still need the Carpathian Fangs lair, so I'd be up for running that one.

Which day(s) are best for you: Wednesday/Friday/Saturday
Your average QL level: 10.4
Your preferred or alternate role: DPS
If you have done Lairs before: Yes, all of them except CF
Your favourite fruit: Elil is quite fond of blueberries. I can't stand them, but there we are.

Small comment: Would suggest changing title to "Lair runs" or something - as after reading your post, you are not looking for people to do the "Lair Raid"

Days best for me: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday
My average level: 10.4/5
my preferred role: Tank / DPS
Experience: All (though not got 2 of the bosses in Carpathian Fangs done yet as I died just before the kills)
My favourite: Any that help other people get their achievements or for us to complete more 9S lair guides / 9S Bestiary research
Additional Comments: Never done this in a raid group of 10. In my opinion - it would be too easy and rather boring with more fire power than a group of 5.

I'd love to join. I have done few lair missions but never did any regional bosses. I would like to participate in all in order to get the achievements, and I'm ready to help with the "re-runs".
