I strongly suggest ml8 raid leaders to set 8.5 as prereq as it is not a hard step, just takes some organising from 1 people. Post a thread on fh, ask your guild, or announce on /as, as you don't need a zerg for this step.

I was told by Anzelia or so (don't remember nick exactly :) that 'hey, we're not hibs, this step is not doable with a group'. We talked a bit and I promised her to put up my way we did this step with my guild, but you dont need a too fotm group for this, just a semi balanced one.

I'll type what setup I did this step with:


1 warrior
3 healers
1 sm
1 zerk
1 rm
1 shaman.

You don't need 3 healers, 2 are enough for this step.

When talking with Kratos have all your group members get the quest. 1 people needs an empty barrel, but only him, noone else needs any items for this quest.

Here's the guideline for the quest:

-Have 1 peep run off to get water into the barrel, you can do the other stuff kratos has requested you meanwhile. (Stygia, 57k 28k)


-Kill a ketos, an orange con mob, no need to say anything. Can find millions of them in meso. Ketos giant fillet.

-Keel ghita, not a hard boss, she cons purple but hits low, pull her adds 1 by 1 before pulling her. (Arbor Glen, 2k 24k) Reward is ghitas scrying stone.

-Find gaspara (but fgs, don't attack her:) And play her game of chests, if you click wrong chest, just whack down the elemental she spawns. Reward is kratos chest. (Green Glades, 52k 44k )

-Creons six sons are a bit tricky, but not hard, just throw in a few mezzes and keel the healer quickly [piet!] (Arbor Glen, 15k 38k) You need to manually pick the heads up, 6 different ones.

With the centaur bois, wait til the barrel guy returns, when he's with you, keel the 6 sons, hand the items to kratos, and get reward, Agnes Right Leg. Don't forget to put it away :).

If you can't get a decent-enough group to do this step, then do it with 2 groups as it is bg compatible, just not with the bg raid as it takes years to do, and not that hard...

a lot easier would it be if raid leader does all this steps with a group, but hands the items in at actual raid, 5-10 min looking for kratos now, 5 min all talking to him, 5 min handing in the items.

As opposed to for every group spending 1-2 hours getting all the items, travel back and forth etc.

and if you have retards who aoe kratos just let them die :touch:

well a nearly 200 ppl raid cant be measurement for all ml8 bg raids ;)

but less time wasted in general for most ppl if its done on bg raid,which is a good thing with the already big time sinks in TOA

Yeah but well, I prefer to do it with a group, only thing I find reasonable is to put 8.5 on prereq and do a 8.5 raid the day before the actual raid or something. Just don't see a single point to do a grp step (well, k, patched to bg step :p) on the raid.
