lower level DoN missionsFollow

Anyone done any DoN missions around lvl 50 or so? If so, how difficult is it and what kind of points can you expect from a successful mission?

The lowest group mission, Grounding the Drakes, is worth 22 crystals.

The mobs are DB to lvl's 57, but they are quite tough. We went in (as a guid) without any CC and got our a[b][/b]sses handed to us. One add showed up, my heal didn't land (intertuppted), then group wipe.

The drakes gate, CH, mez, charm, probably fear, and are all around nasty.

I've done mission in the 60's and they went a lot smoother.

If you've got the CC in your group I'd go ahead and try it, worse that's gonna happen is you'll wipe and need a rez Smiley: smile

Do the missions not scale to the avg level of the group? My group would basically consist of lvl 51-52 toons.

I think they do scale, can't confirm that, but they are still tough mobs. I would say much tougher than LDoN mobs.

At 51/52 I would at least give it a try, just make sure you have an enchanter available. The Dwarf in the "good" aligned camp is where you can get the "Grounding the Drakes" mission. It's not too bad, the first step to complete is just to find the enterance. Once you zone into the instanced dungeon, you have to kill drakes and loot 15 Drake Fangs. They seem drop pretty regular so you should be able to be done in under an hour.

The mob levels scale to the average level of the group. I'm not sure if there are "jumps" in scale such as with the LDoN adventures (which go in 5 level increments). The few times I've done the "grounding the drakes" mission (which is a good one btw!), the mobs have all been the same level (as in all mobs in each instance are the same level. No variation), but that level changes with each mission. I don't remember if it was straight 5 level differences. I don't think so though...

Havent seen any huge jumps in DoN like there was in LDON. I think they scaled DON a little better so it doesnt jump.

Hate, hate, hate that mission. It so SOOOOOO boring. Reward is small too. Go with The Creator mission. Fairly quick, straightforward mission and the crystal reward is about 50% greater. Need to have a good puller or crowd control though.

DoN missions NPC monsters levels do scale with player levels. The Drakes in the Grounding the Drakes mission will all be level 66 if the groups average level is 70 for example. The reward for this mission is 26 Crystals at any level you try it.

The Creator does have a higher reward and can be done in 15 minutes, but it is a tougher mission that requires a bit more startegy. The Drakes mission is a straightforward kill and move mission. All you need to get singles in Drakes is any form of Pacify or Mesmerize capabilities. Bard, Enchanter, Cleric, Monk, etc.

As far a s what the NPC monster levels will be for you I do not know. Snare, high level Finishing Blow, root, is essntial. Paladins and Mage Air pets shine in Drakes. Many Cleric, Enchanter and Wizard mobs.
