I thought that was just a myth?

m&m defense list says so

Well you would have to be able to dodge mobs for it to work... unless it's damage, in which case you could get hit by one, then sip quicksilver before it hits you again

Quicksilver is stripped by Psionics and Aeon. I'm not aware of it having any other effect, but damage certainly doesn't remove it.

And razing.

My splendours are public! They're a bit leafy for anyone not in a commune, though.

I have my cartel and since I'm the only person in it right now, you can submit whatever you want for splendours.

You're remembering incorrectly. Shamarah shouted something about his seal not working while others were, and Avechna shouted back that it needed to be worn. Old Seals still worked in the last Ascension.

I thought they'd just made them not drop gold after Sham farmed millions during one of them, but apparently not.

Does anyone know what the grow rate on aetherseeds are and how many flowers the garden can hold? Is it the same as a flower pot?

Pot holds 6, garden holds 12. I think it's around a 33% chance to grow a flower on a midnight. Not absolutely sure on that though.

Is the down exit in Shallach the only way to get into Catacombs or are there more entrances somewhere else? If so, where?

And how does one navigate the place? I found a seal on the wall but it didn't want to turn or pull any more in a certain direction. I can see from the realm map that there is much more than just four rooms, and on the mudlet map, but rooms didn't seem to be connected. What am I missing?

You pull/push the levers. There's a rift on Specter Isle that connects to a lower level on the Catacombs, the up exits to the higher levels is one way. There's also a chasm on Mount Dio, that drops you in the Catacombs

You can find a Rift in the palace ruins on Spectre Isle, and there's a entrance to the bottom level on Mount Dio.

In order to open the other rooms, at least on level 1, you need to go back and pull the lever. It'll shut your exit but open up another passage; you keep going down them and pulling levers until you reach level 2.

It's far, far easier to just take the Rift or Dio Shortcut straight to level 3, though it may be risky due to getting ganked by NPCs. The Garshades and Garskulls on the other levels just aren't worth it.

edit lehki ninja mutter mutter mutter

Play with the levers!!

Also, there is a rift on Spectre Island, and a secret entrance from Mt Dio. Those both lead directly into the bottom level, and the rift, in particular, is very risky since you can't peek through and make sure there aren't like a milloin garwights on the other side.

Ah, Mount Dio, that other place I haven't found how to get to yet. I've been told you use a rift to get there too. Any hints as to where that might be? And is Mount Dio inhabited by anything nasty will-kill-you-with-one-stare?

That's its main selling point, yeah.

The main way to get there is by a rift in Isune's tomb.

Dio is super dangerous, but the things there are only sometimes aggressive. Still, it's not someplace I recommend hanging around in for no reason. The rift is in the sanctuary to Isune thing that's right next to the path up to Mt Avechna from the mountains. It'll put you in the snowfield, and you just go south a bunch til you pop out into the main part. The sneaky path to the Catacombs is down on the next part of the area, over past the western bit that looks like a diamond. It is my most favorite highly dangerous shortcut ever.

Glade of the Sleeping Goddess? Hmm, I'll have a poke there too, see how long I can survive Else I'll just have to suck it up and bash more UV / join every possible hunt till I can survive. Explorer ranking is my new obsession, you see

Not to start another "where to bash" post, but...

Titan, lobo psymet monk-- feels like I am bashing well below my grade. I mostly farm hunt for gold on prime. UV feels too mindless. Love TBC fishers & gravediggers (decent essence offerings too). Outside abashing and ahunting, what are some decent places to hunt (esp off prime).

Edit: posting this feels redundant, like I've asked this before. Sorry if this is true.
