    what is the dragons hoard reclamation and how do you donate to it.

    I'm sorry i never explained this. my bad lol

    Basically, in the Well of Dragons Zone, in the center, there's a crate/thing where you can donate your dragon hoard coins and other things to the hoard reclamation. Killing enemies/completing Heroic Encounters will sometimes grant you items to donate to the reclamation. You take whatever it is you're going to donate to the thing at the center of the zone, and choose how much you want to donate. sorry if my terminology is confusing, but it's been a while since i last played NWPC and i forgot a LOT.

    For clarification I shouldn't be using Knights Valour?

    I have used KV on every Tiamat fight, it's not an issue. Just be prepared for the damage from breaths, adds, etc.

    First off: KV and Astral Shield is NOT the cause of the lag. These are rumors spread by whining crybabies who need people to blame for every little thing that goes wrong. Do not listen to any of these players, they don't know what they are talking about, the developers specifically addressed and patched that issue a long time ago.

    The Tiamat Fight:
    - It's boring as hell, and you need to run it (and win) over 100 times to get all of the gear and boons introduced with the well of dragons.
    - It drops unbound T2 set items all of the time, so better sell the ones you have before tiamat launches. Prices are going to crash
    - 20 minutes to beat tiamat, consists of an initial beginning phase, in which you need to kill 5 seperate enemies to pick up an reusable item that will protect you from the breath of one of the five heads. After that phase, it alternates between mob killing phases and Tiamat damaging phases.
    - Stick together, keep mobs off the clerics during the phases that occur inbetween the two minute rounds you have to attack tiamat.
    - Debuffs are your friends. Debuff the **** out of tiamat, and buff your team as high as possible.
    - Use the dragon slaying and protection scrolls that drop from the dragons in the well of dragons.
    - Dodging: Dodging is super key in the tiamat fight. There will not be indicators for many deadly 25k damage attacks. The demon mobs in Tiamat hit /really/ hard. You're going to need to anticipate when they are about to hit you, and time your dodges appropriately.
    - You're going to lose a whole lot at the beginning.
    - Lag will kill you multiple times during the fight.
    - Having a fast mount will make a difference during this fight.

    What gear does Tiamat drop other than t2? Is there new gear that's better than t2?

    No droppable gear is better than T2. there is technically a T3 set of gear, if i remember it right, for HRs, it was the Corrupted Black Ice gear set. but that's the Icewind Dale campaign, which we wont get for a while it seems

    It does also drop a T3 set, the draconic templar set. Parts of it drop from Tiamat, and parts of it are purchased from the Well of Dragons campaign store.

    The set bonus is pretty meh though, for CWs, DCs, and a few other classes, select T1 nd T2 sets are better.

    They won't be able to release a working Tiamet raid.. The servers can't handle it currently.. Have you played a maxed instance fighting one dragon? LMAO the frame rate drops to 0 pretty much, You think the servers can handle 5 dragon fights simultaneously?

    Oh, they will release it, even though it doesn't work. I mean, the PC one still doesn't work, and it was released with those exact issues 6 months ago.

    That's nuts. The hardware in the PC is much more capable compared to our Xbox's as well. Blows my mind that this company has been sooo successful and profitable, and the servers are the worst I've ever seen for a game.

    Feel sorry for some of you guys. It doesn't appear to be affecting everyone for some reason though. I haven't had much if any lag at all since shortly after release and even on packed servers I only get very mild clipping. Kind of odd that it doesn't affect everyone the same.

    Whether it will or will not lag (and how bad it could) is not my main focus here.
    That conversation can be saved for a different thread. but for now, are there anything else not listed in the main post and comments that will be of some use to newcomers to RoT?

    How does the 25 man group form? Random?
