I think the solo loot scenario is my favorite thing in Mists so far. And I don’t even mean the loot! The loot’s okay, but really, Elder Charms are SO Patch 5.1. I just love running the place! And finding hidden chests and secret paths to said chests. There’s been a few chests in the first room, and one in the hallway leading to the second room, that I have no idea at all how to reach. And I LOVE IT.
So far I’ve mostly stuck to the first room, with a few tentative forays into the second. Big chests in there! But also monsters. And aggro sensors. And a hard-to-reach door lever required to proceed further. I am intensely curious what the third and fourth rooms are like, though. There’s a big boss troll at the end, I hear? Guarding three large chests? And if you kill him you get to open them? I wonder if that’s more profitable!
I get why we’re limited to one run a week (or two, if you get really lucky and get multiple keys), but man. I sure wish I could just hang out in there and explore. Maybe this week when I finish running the first LFR wing, I’ll go back and prowl around those rooms thoroughly. Research time!
The first time I ran this I didn’t even know how to open the door to the second room, and then the second time I went through it and just lost all my time dying to trolls. Going to try heading straight for third next time!
I love that Vid is losing her hat 😀
I was so eager to try this when I first heard about it. It’s just my kind of thing – exploring, treasure, traps, etc. The time constraint just makes it more exciting.
I’ve been lucky enough to do this 4 or 5 times on Cymre (plus a few on other toons) and was excited to make it to the third room yesterday. I see them all as practice runs as I perfect my route.
The furthest I’ve made is the 3rd room. I kept my warlock and paladin int he first room for their first and second runs, respectively. Warlock made out like a bandit, paladin got a lot of gold. I like the solo scenario, but like Rades, I want the chance to explore it in depth!
I do love how you drew this up, its adorable. ^_^ Always tickles the indiana nostalgia and the new treasure run is fun to run through.
Managed to get to the fourth room, and admittedly… I’m now lost within it. 5 minutes is not enough time to see it all! 🙂
Love the treasure room and great comic this week!
