I've noticed that queues for these two dungeons are ridiculously long lol. I'm trying to loot the head piece for my toon. And the guild/alliance is small and they typically don't run those dungeons caused they are geared really well and I'm late to this game. And I don't want to leave the guild cause we are tight knit group. So to make a long story short is there anyone else who needs gear from there want to run a group and try to loot the gear from there? If so message me in game or here. My toon name is Nameless Noob. Thanks.

    Knowing which platform you play on could also be useful.

    Any guild worth joining will help you get the gear you need if you ask.

    Also, don't be afraid to post in LFG channel "LFG 4 eCC". Much safer then blind queue.

    I actually enjoy eCC. PM @dread4moor next time you are on.
    My tank will march you through without a scratch.

    > A tight nit group unwilling to run a dungeon for you? That's odd. Clearly not as tightnitted as it sounds. In my guild being well geared is a reason to help fellow guildies who didn't get that far yet. Anyway, GC requires a decent group to complete. It's just about the only dungeon that requires any intellect. Should be a challenge and your guildmates might learn something called socialism along the way. But if it's really impossible, as an alternative, why not go for the DF gear instead? That's what I recommend to most players as it's easy to get. Or are you fellow guilmates too "well geared" to run DF as well? If so, I'd suggest looking for a new guild.

    Well as I stated before I don't want to leave this particular guild. I can't make anyone run anything that they aren't interested in. The df comment were totally not needed lol. And my guildies are very social since you mentioned this........ but, alas I'm not going to waste my time and energy on going back and forth about this. Thanks but, no thanks I'll just give my handle to someone who isn't trying denigrate other people's guilds.

    If you have a healer friend - take them with you. If you pug in with a healer in tow you should get right in.

    Otherwise if you need help let me know, I think we have two or three guildies hunting for the pirate hat currently. Also I tried to message you to see if you guys were in an alliance already - if you are then reach out to your alliance there should be a ton of people in there to run with. If you aren't then let me know we have and open gauntlet spot in ours.

    Either way maybe we can help you out a bit.

    Thanks for letting me know I will definitely be in touch with you. Yeah Healers and Tanks have the magical keys to the proverbial queue kingdom lol.

    You left out the Grey Wolf Den dungeon, probably the most unplayed dungeon of them all. Queueing as a cleric for Cragmire does not take too long, for Grey Wolf I can wait for half an hour and still find no PUG party. In the LFG chat I never see this been called for. Even the BIS brigade probably does not do this dungeon because they don't want to waste precious seconds in their eternal quest to find the optimal farming system.

    I like eGWD - but I wouldn't pug it... we just run it with friends.. or sometimes pick up a single random. It just requires too much DPS to finish the boss to have someone at 2200 wander in off the street thinking they can just tag along for the ride.

    I also won't pug FBI for the same reason. I'll spend hours in a new dungeon with friends - but have zero desire to spend hours in a single dungeon with strangers.

    Our extended guild does GWD a fair amount. Mostly for a change of scenery from the TOS/CN farms. I have never cared for it myself, even as a T1. Too much empty space and generic fantasy wolfmen (werewolves with swords and bows?!) are annoying.

    The big trick is getting the tank to pull the boss over by the chest so that the red wolf can be downed quickly. Otherwise, it's easier than Cragmire, which requires a DPS check to burn quickly. With an insane pull from second boss to the bridge, the dungeon is as fast as ToS.

    I know this probably doesn't help, but I queue for all the epic dungeons when I queue, & shores pops up @ least once a week. Sometimes it pops up before I can get a new key crafted. I run dungeons between 9pm _ 11pm eastern standard time

    Cragmire and eGWD pop less than others as they don't really offer anything better than eToS and are longer/more difficult so farmers go for eToS. I gave up on getting the headpiece from eCC for that reason and for the drop rate (I ran it 40-50 times on two different toons and never got it).

    Cragmire is not really a DPS check. If you have a good tank/healer you can stay on the fire as long as you want. I soloed it on my 13k Temptlock in a bit more than 40 mins and never used the barrel at the final boss.
    eGWD is a bit more tricky but as somebody said above if the tank can keep the boss close to the red wolf spawning point everything gets easy.

    Form a group in PE, try to call for multiruns, since you get ad in your 2 first runs, and runn Tuern, reasons:

    1- is faster than the other options so is easy to egt parys for that
    2- gives Raw ad from Skirmish pool

    You can also try a few CN and Edemo and Malebolg run, they drop some good head gears.

    you can do daily

    2 Skirmish (tuern for the Dragon mask)
    2 tier 1 dungeons, (Malebolg can give you the thorn helmet)
    2 Tier 2 (craigmare for pirate hat, or CN for the hemlet that drop there)

    plus Epic demogorgon drops a nice helmet, but since the iten list that drop there is BIG because of rings you may have to farm a lot there to get the helmet)

    Good Luck !

    I guess it's Malabog after being overrun by demons (like CN). Sorry, couldn't resist :smile:

    Actually, the meaning is the same.
    For example, in Dante Alighieri's Inferno, part of the Divine Comedy, Malebolge is the eighth circle of Hell.
    Roughly translated from Latin or Italian, Malebolge means "evil ditch" or "evil swamp"... where The Fomorian King lives.
    So, same thing.
    Go on. Say it.

    Actually "bolgia" just means "sack" or "bag" but you may be right about Malabog being something that sounds a little bit like a crossover of Malebolge and Bog. And the Nine Hells in D&D basically come straight out of the Comedia by Dante
