Shadow Beasts & Cinder Beasts - 3.0 02/08/2013 07:38 PM CST
Good evening, folks!

I was curious to see if anyone has a rough idea what the recommended combats are to start hunting in Shadow Beasts and Cinder Beasts with the 3.0 changes? I'm still learning fairly well in dobeks, but I'm thinking I'm going to want to take the jump to the next undead/evil critter.

Thank you!

Uritel, I can't answer you very directly because I haven't been there in 3.0, but the progression from Greater Hounds and Slaughs to Shadow Beasts is pretty smooth.

I hunt there just fine, and I know the cinder beast hard cap is 625. My debilitation hit that the other day and no longer moves off of clear.

Low 500s TM, mid to high 400s defenses/weapons

Physical stats are 55 stam, 50 agil/refl, 45 strength

You need PFE active in cinderbeasts to avoid getting burnt.

I still for the most part keep buffs active -- Bene, MPP, MaPP

Thank you for the information on this.. I'll probably head over to Haven shortly and give them a try. You're a bit more advanced than I am but I'm commonly down for a challenge.

Were you able to find the short cut?

The short cuts require Revelation which has not yet been converted to 3.0.

The short cut into shadow beasts/cinder beasts requires resurrection, which works quite nicely! Tried it the other night. I wish though that the shortcut came before (and also had a shortcut exit) the shifting maze. But, you can't have everything!

I have also found my new stomping grounds here in the Zaulfung, so I'll be here until they stop teachin me I figure.. which will be a long, long time..

I don't think its a secret any more- for the Shadow Beast/Cinder Beast area, it is in the temple, through the housing area. A rather nifty effect all things considered

I hope you are using HYH with COZ there Uritel- that should work great.

I'm using HYH with MAL, actually. Not tuned towards offense or defense, just the generic version that taps both. They rarely hit me with their offenses downtweaked, and their defenses are dropped enough that I can hit them with ~100 ranks in my tertiary weapons.

As my tert weapons get up to around 200-250, I'll likely swap over to COZ and run that instead.

Resurrection for the shortcut, oh right. I was thinking of a different secret portal thing, my mistake.
Happy Zaulfung!
