Hi, I've been looking through the map-a-lot feature on the Herald and noticed this dungeon. The dungeon as far as I can tell is full of Ogres but it doesn't say for what levels.

What level is this dungeon intended for and is it good for money & item drops?

Thanks :D

At entrance mobs are prolly level 45+ could prolly solo there at that level, or a group of low 40s could take entrance.

Further in mobs are 50+ but you can only really camp the entrance cause everywhere else there is wondering mobs.

The money is ok, bout same as any high level dungeon i guess, drops fairly frequent, lots of ROG crap.

end boss drops about the same stuff the sidi ones does including light saber thrusters and such.
aggro is insane tho and Loads of red+ mobs all over.
a pbae group whit power field whould probebly do quite well even in the deeper parts.

dunno why krondon isnt used for lvling as much as Avalon City is tbh

nice camp bonuses lots of high con mobs to pbaoe with fast spawns, its a perfect xp dungeon.

Indeed but avalon city is easy access to all spots and it's more in the way of horse travel. Once people go there a lot it will become common. I like AC a lot as it's a nice meeting point for people to XP 40+. But IMO Krondon can be 2nd AC for albs if albs would just go there more. I see a lot of people go AC everytime and say all groups are full. Go Krondon with a FG then :D

Mobs at entrance area start from lvl45. There is a named that pops in that area from time to time anywhere between lvl55 and lvl61 (that Ive seen via necro powertap at least) which may give some classes problems if theyre soloing there - so be careful ;)

With AC theres no real reason to use Krondon for PvE groups. Too much aggro outside entrance thatll give problems to some classes/levels getting there solo, and too few good spots to camp inside the dungeon mean AC is almost always a better option.

Its a decent dungeon to go to for a change of scenery though :)

Theres a back entrance to Krondon, but since i seem to be one of the last explorers nobody ever notice it.

back entrance is filled with goo from hell... easier going in the front door tbh.

main reason AC is so popular:

people can get into the entrance of the dungeon without too much aggro (the grey/green drakoran is all)

it's on a horse route

you can get to a number of camps solo or easily with your group.

In comparison,

Krondon is slightly farther along a horse route - not a huge difference though
It's hard to get into solo for most classes (so the group has to zone out, run out to the edge of the ogre bit, pick up new arrival, run back again) and if you want to get to a camp spot it's quite difficult to get through the halls quickly.

Now next patch (1.68) lowers the respawn rate in the halls so it's easier to get to the camp spots/named spots...

and if enough people go there for xping then there'd probably be groups sitting outside killing the aggro so others can get in... i.e. if people go there it'll be easy for people to go there ;) catch 22 though need to start it off.

Till then it's an organised group - once you have your AC group together and if there's no camp spots, check how long they're all on for - if it's a while then get to Krondon :)

The trick is just not to hit said goo from hell

it was aggro last time I went in there - maybe they changed it...

nasty aggro mezzing/rooting multiplying gits :)

Am I the only person who thinks this sounds a bit sordid? :eek6:

went in there with two wizards once ;) think they split then and I'm pretty sure I wasn't staffing them...

might try it again sometime.
