Tomb of the Primeval Kings - The Darkness
vader
I'm not sure where to post this so please move if necessary. I was wondering if it was possible to solo the 3 Darkness in TOPK to get all the green drops so I tried it today with my Ritualist. Turns out they're really not all that difficult in NM.

k good for you. But most of the greens are bad.

This has been doable with an Assassin in HM for years.
Black Metal
spirit spam rit even before the spirit buffs have been able to solo just about any boss (in the case group of bosses) for years
QueenofDeath
Doesn't that look a little photoshopped to anybody else?
Black Metal
what, you don't think it's possible to solo Darknesses with Rit?
I did it a week or 2 ago, to get some greens for my 2nd acct.
Besides, it's WELL KNOWN that this is possible
sorta like accusing someone of PS'ing a screen of a 55 surviving a hit from an aatxe

I guess I'll be the first to say the first somewhat positive thing on this topic.
Good job. I haven't beaten TOPK on any of my characters yet. I came close once but the pug had a monk throw a temper tantrum and we wiped at the last bit.

Cool, I'll have to try that sometime on my rit.

What an awesome community, people can't help themselves trying not to be complete asses. What's up with this? If you don't like the thread, out with the negativity please... or AT LEAST try to be polite if you disagree with the OP. WTB stricter moderation. Back to Diablo III forums...

When you say solo, do you meen taking the bosses all alone ( flagging party elsewhere ) ? Or doing it without other human players.
Anyway GZ ! all those greens make me wanna try TOPK :P

Heh, welcome to the club!
Take a look in Campfire, there's a thread entitled "Why does nobody ever go ToPk anymore" - and see this post http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...9&postcount=38
It's a popular spot for those of us reminiscing about how greens used to be exciting ^_^
(Oh, and I'll tell you something for free - Victo's Axe, Victo's Bulwark and the aforementioned Ogre Slaying Knife are still damn rare. Haven't had any of them yet.)
(edit - I tell a lie...)

I did this run everyday for awhile 3 years ago and got victos axe and bulwark and illyana's staff but i did it with my N/Mo and a good group of people. Then i lost my internet and came back only to find a bunch of A/E that were soloing it

Congrats, i have managed to get there far too many times solo on my assasin but never tried with another class so well done

I go in with a party of 3 humans - Assassin (no perma!), Ranger and Paragon. Add in some spirit spamming monks and away you go.
I've completed TotPK 4 times now. It's always Scarred Earth that I have trouble with - if I get through that, I'm pretty much guaranteed to finish (messed up once at the start of the Hall of Heroes by being careless). But I took about 30 goes before I first managed to get through Scarred Earth.
First time I went in we got Victo's Sword, Victo's Axe, Elswyth's Recurve Bow and 3 less-useful greens. I just got the Ogre Slaying Knife on my last dive too
Oh - I also use it for levelling up pets for my menagerie ... going in with 3 level 5 pets is not a recipe for success.

I think the tombs are still awesome, ive monked quite a lot of trips through there, and solo'd it on my assassin when shadow form didnt have a damage penalty. If only the greens received an update to make them more awesome, the tombs would be invaded again.
Nice job anyways

This is kinda fun:
I know the greens aren't that great but I still love seeing them drop. I even got an ecto this time around. It really doesn't take all that long either:
The Underworld - 4 minutes
Scared Earth - 19 minutes
The Courtyard - 11 minutes
The Hall Of Heroes - 22 minutes
Finished it in just under an hour in NM with h/h.

Just curious but how are you getting through it with hench and heroes? I've never really given a normal team build a chance 
I usually just perma as much as possible and use 3 heroes to take the rest while i tank on the assasin...

Discordway, 2 Z-Eles, 2 Z-Healers. Rarely get a single death - except when I try to hurry ^_^
I just do this on rare occasions for a giggle - and to get the 2 greens I'm missing (shield + knife). Had another axe today just to disprove my theory even more.

^ Lol
I'm aiming to do this tonight on my assassin (no not as a perma, im actually gonna play the game YAY!). I'm gonna try to solo kill the Darknesses myself with the help of heroes on the way there of course, but see-ing that they are mesmers, does anyone have advice on any keys skills I should use.
Also I have full equipped discordway, sabway, and spiritway. So any advice, tips, or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You can guarantee though, that no matter what your profession, the drops you get will be for everyone else!!!
props Vader, 'tis fun olde chap!
BUT and it's a big BUT,
This maybe why the Live team and GW2 have bigger problems, like getting the crap drop code sorted (the drop code must be some of the most poorly written and performing code that I've ever had the misfortune to encounter).
Next run, different day..
Now I guess the odds on this are about the same as winning the lottery
The actual odds of this happening, assuming that the drop code uses an even distribution of probability and that the Darknesses only drop greenies (which they do not), are
1:5008 !!
The only Notorious Bob - don't accept pale imitations!
