Getting into Prime Roots

[violete]

Is it at all possible for someone alone to get into Prime Roots to harvest? I've so far made it to the Abyss of Ichor but can't for the life of me get past the Awesome Kinchers at the entrance. Is there a way to get past them? I only want somewhere new to harvest and would like some white and black Choice mats.

Its possible. But be ready to cap your death penalty (it caps based on your level). And be ready to wait, a very long time.

They do move away from the entrance but they are still very close to it and I don't think you can actually sneak past them. The roots access should only be done in a group like it is now and I think thats fair, since currently once you get in there, there are certain places you can buy tickets or get spawn points to. I think its unfair that some people who got in there early got to keep their spawn points.

The entrances to some of the tryker borderlands are guarded too, and I think thats unfair since the other races have guards but you can sneak around them, Its near impossible to get past some of these guards.

It is possible, be very patient with the guards and wait for a good time.

They also have a shorter aggro range when their back is turned.

i have heard that walking also limits your agro range but you do take a chance on one of them deciding to walk in your direction.

best thing to do is probably wait for some group to make an attempt and pass through at the same time. some entrances are more active than others so you may stillhave a long wait. otherwise its max Dp and keep trying.

Cap your death penalty, yes. Wait a very long time, no 8) If you throw yourselves at them, sometimes dragging them with you a bit, then quickly respawn and run at them again, you can shift them around quickly. It only takes prolly 8 tries or so (a minute or two) before they've shifted in a way that you can run by.

Just FYI DP caps at exactly 10 deaths worth.

Best use spells or ranged weapon to suidcide-pull them away.

After getting past your first objective is to get yourself a teleporter ticket, location is at the north end of the sap river. Be careful about the kitin patrols, they can aggro at 125m if they are looking in your direction.

Suicide pulls have served me well with multiple kincher guardians. Cast a blind spell on the first and then use my enchanted staff to pop the second with a cold 1 then RUN. More reliable than running right into them most times.

Or get a buddy to be the "bait" and use speed up then invulnerability to move those suckers outa there!

A capped DP is your friend!

Give us a heads up the next time you want into Ichor, there is normally a guild group in there or at least a couple working towards the Nexus end.

If your timing is good you can catch Melinoe when we are hunting the door guards at one of the roots entrances. They respawn fairly quick and we have found them to be good hunts.
