Jungle Ruins =/= waste of time

I find it absolutely annoying that everyone is transported into the same instance... find it laggy I should have the option to turn other peoples avatars off completely... I don't want them to appear even in range... that being said the instance should be a solo thing... or at least make it big enough to have multiple spawn points and duplicate areas like uh City of Abominations and uh the original Forest Ruins.... duh

imo the event is poorly done, its based on 80% luck, 20% skill, now i say that because when a mob agros some1, be that a moving fire ball...or some overgrown chunk of rock, they will either kill some1 or chase them and not succeed on the odd occasion, after either 1, they reset, problem is they dont reset back into there original patrol route on where they *shud* have been if they diddnt agro to begin with, instead they reset back around the last position they were, therefore fking up the area.

cos of this, some places were impossible to advance to, what confused me is, i was stood looking at the mobs patrol route on 1 area for about 5-10 mins, i found there was no possible way to get passed them cos 2 always passed the place i was ment to go, and another 2 was right near my area where im starting to run, this is cos of them reseting into some odd place cos of some1 agroing them and messign the patrol ruit, so i saw some1 run, saw a mob approach, but 1 was behind, so he ran into the corner, and somehow they diddnt see him, so i tried the same afterwards, and somehow they saw me...logic?

i think a very very small portion of lucky **** ppl managed to complete it, now its nice to have an event thats not based on gear and lvls...but why make it nearly impossible, before it was revampt, it was actualy possible to do just with *skill* cos it wasnt packed to death full of ** no's what thats in this jungle ruins, its once a week, what we have to look forward to is xxx deaths and no reward unless ur extreamly lucky, cheers PWI, ill try next week, most likely fail again.

Err... you're right about others being annoying I wish I was soloing there QQ

But you're on RT so same server, and I know for a fact there were very few people starting from 25% to end onwards. So I guess you didn't make it far :P Was much more awesome after the first few rooms when almost nobody was there and I had to watch patrols carefully.

And no it is not impossible, there IS a way to get past patrols, I'll give you a pro tip: minimap does wonders, if you figure out which are the moving mobs you need to avoid (boulder walkers usually)

lol I got the exact same rewards and it said something like I was "3rd" O.o (I know Mara was 1st, but don't know of 2nd one)

Also, I chose devil ring + ash jade, did that guy choose the same? Are the rewards different for each combination?

That is all he said in WC as you can see. Nothing less nothing more. xD

The first 2 fire rooms were a bit harder than necessary with so many people running around recklessly and causing the mobs to constantly veer off their set course. But it was sorta funny too, and I eventually started trying to use the others as meat shields. b:avoid

And yeah, charm burn was mildly annoying. After a bit though I just took off all my gear since everything is either a one shot or your-max-hp% dmg based (everything I saw anyway). That saved a good 60-70% or so each death.
All in all, was kinda fun for a while. Something different at least. Will try again next week for sure if I'm on.

Here's my pics. I finished this first on harshlands server, and in about 30 mins since the pic 2nd is the time at 1:33:06 it only took 2 mins to get past that part. I did find a amount of crest npcs, but focused more on the ending rather than than finishing them. Time ran out before I could fully turn in by redoing the place once again for the other quests since I went afk after running all the way. Next week i'll run to the end and grab as many quests as I can and visit npcs than finish at the end to see the full rewards of the run. Jungle ruins is very fun. It requires skill and level and cultivation only help minimal in the area. The event seems fair for all players. I only recommend holy path and tree of protection on the genie for some areas. All I used in this run was 35 hp pots, and 30 mp pots along with genie which was around 15k-20k stamina used on pure holypath and top. All complete in forg form as well which really isn't a big help but it does increase speed a tad bit. Once I finish this zone next week i'll come post a complete guide hopefully on the inners, and outers of the entire quests available throughtout the zone. I already have quite a few pics of mobs located deeper in, and quest item locations. Though I need a lil more info before making a guide of any sort. Train hard for next weeks jungle ruins, and have fun! ^^ I gotta go level myself up and get demon for my veno. Also tw pots of any sort won't be helpful at all since they can be used but the traps more in need a higher level of skill than just immunity to damage. You can only get so far with apoth. I imagine the farthest apoth pots can help is 1 room past the toxic room beyond that they won't do much more than a holypath or second wind heal. The cooldown on the apoth pots won't last either since some mobs don't lose agro and once immunity or speed is up your dead. It really is fair based for all levels so no one has a advantage except the super lucky or the highly skilled.

sooo, what is the reward... beside exp and those ash and devil thingy?

Reward for finishing it after the first 30 min = 100 socket and 100 mirage

I suggest save position option into forest ruins.
Ex: I save the middle position when i joint it and after death restart nor from begin b:shocked

This would make it to easy.
Once you get through the first zone its all skill not much luck... TBH the first 3 rooms are the hardest in the whole instance.

So...just tried it out. Spent 20 minutes getting killed from the boulder mob in room 1, without even aggroing it.

300,000 damage is a bit much. Nothing short of a GM cape's gonna cut it.

Frog mode didn't seem to do much other than slow me down. I run faster in tiger (sage ftw).

So, yeah...I think I'll just skip any events from here on out. As they're either made for CSers only, or just there to eat a charm in 10 minutes.

Well 1st off dont be stupid enough to go in there with a charm lol....2nd that event is clearly fair to everyone in the game. you dont ahve to be CS'd to do the event like nien or the tiger one xD

Isn't the belt/neck/mats untradeable and require level 6/7 craftsman? Doubt it really matters how easy the event is. It's just going to be the same person winning anyways.
