Yes would be nice to know if it'll be the last one. But seeing the skills on Guru i somehow doubt it if they aren't fake.

I'm doing quest 4 right now

What hero builds do you guys use when you go solo?
I tried it with PUGs, and in almost all of them someone rushes ahead and takes the quest -.-

There will be a final quest where we fight Dhumm if the stuff in the dat is any hint
Plus ANet has been hyping this I guarantee it has a conclusion.

Just did both quests with my guild, lots of fun. Some of them hadn't ever been around down there to quest and whatnot, so it was cool.
Nice job!
Nice job!

This is what I used too. Worked just fine.

Used Sab with an earth ele instead of the MM.

Sounds too good to be true^H^H^H^H intentional.
Will probably be gone when I get home.
EDIT>
Those are great news Lycan. So it is intentional. Now I have to find a way (and time) to farm this quest endlessly without Anet thinking I'm a super advanced learning and improving by the minute and almost mute antisocial bot (again). I'll have to be less hasty and more chatty when playing or you already know what happens when you're not.

EDIT: It says here on PvX that I need to put Vitae/Vigor runes on 'em.
Well, which Vigor, and how many of each and where?

I did it with pugs just fine. But I had to use my Sabway heroes just to feel safe. It was really straightforward, and fun. Plus, I actually did a pug in the UW, which I've never done, ever.

Well, there goes the price of ToT bags.

You can still get tots way faster farming raptors then this quest and I have a pretty good sytem for maxing out rewards on this quest.
{hint} lots of skeletons in UW now, take lots of mobstoppers.

Anyone know where the majority of the skels spawn? Or are they all over the place?

I'm doing the 4th Quest on my Ele with 3 Discord-heroes.
Just pick Ash Blast (after knock down) to blind one Aatxe and Ward against Melee or something like that.
Works very well and takes 5-6 mins or so.

lol - so i was right, ANet's solution to speed clear will be to have a few critters of Dhuum wandering around.

They dont really stop sins, I have gotten up to 5 in one run so far. The new mindblade scepter popups mean more ecto to be had on the way.
The only thing that kills me are the mobs of 2-more skeletons. More than shadow refuge can heal through. The trick is in nailing the skeleton skills with CoP for added defense.
EDIT: has anyone tried it in HM to see how bad they are.

I don't think they are meant to stop sins or anything else - just slow things down.
wasted some scrolls to try things out. They do hit faster in hm than nm and, of course their 100dmg skill recharges faster in hm which will make things a bit tough.
However, sliver targeted the skeleton first, which, if this is consistent, should help.

Am i doing something wrong here? I capture 1 skeleton and it won't let me capture any more due to an effect and i have to leave and pay the 1k again to capture the second! How are people capturing more then one in a single run?

Does anyone know if the 600/smite team (That I use to farm the aatxes/smites and to do the quest Clear the Chamber) works for this? If so, look out now!

Wow. Don't Fear the Reapers really sucks. I tried it about 5 times and kept getting killed in the Bone Pits. I ended up using an Essence of Celerity and I was finally able to finish it but I think the quest is just a bit too long. Even with the Essence I think it almost took me 30 minutes.
Dzjudz
Nobody is restarting GW because of the 1k reward difference lol.

Also, once the Skeleton corpse disappear, you can NOT capture it anymore. So if you kill 2+ Skeletons, you lost out on the rest because you can only cap one. By the time it resets, corpses disappear.

Umm is the 4th quest suppose to be repeatable?
Ewon
Little tip for those who want to complete the quests on all characters. You can farm all the skeletons you need with one character, put them in storage, and complete the quest with everyone else.
600/smite after getting a stack off mobstoppers makes this very farmable. (abandon the quest repeatedly for more mobstoppers)

I finally got around to doing the second quest today - how annoying. I don't know the UW well (or, well, at all), so I kept getting lost. The KD skill was a godsend for that. And hurray for little corners clear of enemies that I could hide in to let my health regen.
I actually found the Terrorwebs more annoying to deal with than the Threshers, because of the environmental effect from the tar and the fact that there were greater numbers.
Still, though, managed to get through it on my first try. Took about 35 minutes, but that's because I kept stopping when I had a clear spot to regen health (if needed) and check the wiki map to try and figure out where to go next.
