does anyone mind helping me with jewelscalen? I have been flying round and round but no one seems to be able to help atm....
Probably because its almost impossible to solo

Evga - Sanctuary · January 2009

just give up. i haven't even done mine yet :P

Devarsi - Sanctuary · January 2009

lol I got mine done at 51 .. but i had like 6 clerics out of party healing me when i tanked it =P.. jewels is ridiculously hard for the level you receive it at.. i know lots of people who don't get it till 60 or 70+

Evga - Sanctuary · January 2009

i plan to do mine when i hit lvl 77 ish. cause i know of a veno who solo it. going to try to make it work :P

Deceptistar - Sanctuary · January 2009

If you have a balanced PT, then a 49-55lv PT should be ok. Just remember to keep the tank and puller alive the initial 10 sec or so. Also use the sloping terrain to your advantage.

Psihi - Sanctuary · January 2009

I can tank jewel if you need me to.
Requirments for doing this.
1.2(two)/1(one) level 60+ cleric/s.This solely depends on boss tipe.
2.3 Ga(Guardian Angels) or 2 ESO(Training Esotericas) your choise-non negotiable even if i die or not i need 3 GA or 2 ESO*Psihi wants to PK,Grind nicely*.
I can also tank with this party ANY Boss Quests except Krimson Eyes.

Use ingame function CHAT(recomended),Mail or PM to contact me but beware it may take 5-10m to respond.

Devarsi - Sanctuary · January 2009

@Deceptistar - What do you consider a balanced party ? I mean personally i think a tank 2 clerics veno and then 2 DDs (BM/Archer) is pretty balanced .. but I don't think a group of 6 49 - 55 can do it .. its like krimson.. his debuff is really rough and with the aoe you need quite a few clerics to do it around that level

You might want to try contacting Heleina (in Mythical). She can solo jewelscalen (but she has been asking 50k and you would need to work with her schedule.)

You want 200k when people will be willing to do it for free (or in case of heleina, for 50k). Good job.

thanks for all the replies guys
I just got a lvl85 barb to sort it out for me

Actually the class you just named, 1tank, 2 clerics, 1veno, 1bm, 1 archer, is exactly what I had when I did jewel.
The barb tank was a 53, I(cleric) was a 49, and the highest 55 was also a cleric, the other classes where inbetween levels. I was factionless at the time so I had to gather pple and that was the PT that was formed (thankfully).
I had them use the near vertical part of the slope down below in hopes to use some terrain space. I also had the tank pull jewel since he was the only one that could stand alive till it arrived to us. He would fly up till jewel reached our positions, hit it, and then drop like a rock (cancel flying) to minimize air time. Prior initial contact, the tank will have to use one HP orb (I think we used the 3k regen) to provide supplementary regen until the clerics ironheart kicks in fully. Jewel will move out of position if the cleric heals to early. It would probably be safer if the main healer for tank also had one orb to use in case of a double aoe.
We got jewel down to 80% or 90% on first try but wiped due to someone else taking hate somehow and jewel moved and double aoe-ed us. The later try was better since we all knew what to expect, this time the main healer had an orb too. As long as it didnt move and double aoe us, we where pretty much steady, even the non charmers the 2ndary cleric had time to heal them.
Main cleric: Spam purify + ironheart
2ndary cleric(me): Spam ironheart on main cleric and also tank in turns
The other classes will also have to know their limits on hate.

When I researched Jewel the only info I had were the horrid stories told on the (this) forum. Which did help alot to plan out. It was actually very easy if everyone listens and knew what to do.
The fact is, I think it had become the norm for a party to have a tank at least 10 lvls ahead of the quested lvl. Its probably hammered into our heads that 'its ok to loose cause we should have had a higher tank'. Which in fact, shouldnt be the case, if you can use a few meds, know your hate limits, and take advantage of the geography of the area.

(In later lvls I helped jewel with similar set ups but the lvls were way higher than before.)

Did the price of EXP scrolls jump to 100k overnight? b:thanks

Devarsi - Sanctuary · February 2009

the main problem we had was the clerics dieing from the aoe ... but i'm not sure if they had charms or pots going

TheDan - Sanctuary · February 2009

Funny, because a Charmed BM with high Altar marrow physical can solo it. b:victory

Jewel's debuff drops physical defense, not magical. Therefore, by boosting your physical defense you replace the physical defense you lost from the debuff. Easy enough?

Yup, hits weaker than Kimsa with Marrow. Same applies for Krimson ~ though he still hurts, even with Marrow. b:sad

Bladecutter - Sanctuary · February 2009

Jewel? he is pretty easy to tank, just that ppl have become fanatics of barbs...

I laugh so much when all the team keeps saying "i wont go without a barb" or "you sure you can tank it?"

i have tanked he since lvl 59 (without alter marrow at that time) so i can help you if you pm me ingame, as Dan said he can be soloed with charm....

Bladecutter

PD: i wont solo it with charm because im not rich lol

Oldbear - Sanctuary · February 2009

Which brings up a question. I'm LV61 BM with HP3350 and having half the bronze HP charm left (50000+HP). I don't like the idea of tanking, but I also have the quest undone, and it's logical that it better be my charm that ticks on my quest than anybody else's.
So if I can have a barb casting his increased HP on me (even buff from LV48 barb helps), a charm and a proper support team- can I tank in my own quest?

Thats Psihi, what do you expect? He WC's hourly to every minute trying to make rip off deals with people, like buying Watcher of the Skies for 1 mil, or you can see how his shop will sell something for 10x the price he is willing to buy the item for

Jewescalen is a stupid quest anyways, never found out the usefulness of a few thousand XP for a ton of deaths really...

WindGaurdian - Sanctuary · February 2009

I DEFEATED JEWELSCALEN, with just my awesome cleric ^__^

is that good? lol..

Bobncut - Sanctuary · February 2009

You soloed as a cleric or you and a cleric slew the dragon?

Neios - Sanctuary · February 2009

I just had 3 friends help me complete this Jewelscalen quest last night. One was a level 56 veno, a 64 cleric, and a high 50s barb. We failed the first try but we killed it on the second.

TheDan - Sanctuary · February 2009

From my experience, when I tried tanking it at lvl 55(haha LOL, first time tanking without marrow), it made my physical defense drop from 5K to 0, but when I went back to solo it at lvl 70, it dropped my physical defense from 18k to 13k.

So... from what I see, it's debuff drops physical defense by 5K or so.

Err, not sure what phys marrow would do on Krimson O.o - I never tested it.

When I tanked Krimson at lv 72..(duoing without marrow) here's what happened - Hits 5.1K physical dmg, 2.2k mage dmg.

What worked for me was to just kite Krimson, (which really hinders DPS unless ur in a full squad, but in my case it was duoing).

It's debuff looks like a giant axe, you'll know it when you see it. But basically stay away from it's physical attack when your debuffed LOL, or it'll hurt.

When you kite it, the cleric should have enough time to react and purify you, whilst you're away it'll only mage you.. and with it's slow casting(aprox 3 seconds, translates into 2.2k/3 = 700 dmg/sec).

Just don't fall off the ledge LOL, or it's hp resets...( so lame it happened to me 3 times

)

But let's get to the point.. since it's phys attack is so much stronger than it's mage attack, we can assume that phys marrow would help. - But I wouldn't experiment too much unless you have GAs or the cleric has lv10 res lol, I died several times testing stuff out haha, but I share my knowledge to the rest of PWI, since that's the right thing to do

You can pm me in game if you want more insight on Krimson, but this topic is about Jewel haha, so I'll get off :P
