In line with my comments from yesterday, we went off to CT last night. Not really expecting much over than to get a feel for the zone and what it would take effort-wise to camp it and farm for blood.

So, Bianca put together the standard PoP type group and we headed off to CT. This is an intereting place. It is 55+ zone that is adjacent to a book served zone, but no one was there. Creepy. Exp is almost as good as PoN though. But the mobs were redesigned in the Luclin era, so they have an insane amount of hit points. They also summon and are almost 100% MR.

We never did really break the camp. The entrance to the courtyard has two guards on an 18 minute spawn. No way to split them, not enough room to FD pull and HoN doesn't work. Well, that is why we bring enchanters :) But, it takes forever to kill the two of them. And the next spawn is a two pull as well with a potential raptor add. But cause of the door, I can't split them effectively. Three is rough for a mid 50's group and by the time we get them disposed of and med back up, the doorway has respawned. We needed more DPS, bottom line. Our 3rd DPS person was a 51 warrior then a 52 or 53 warrior. Not enough help when the casters are having a hard time landing nukes.

Still, we got two blood drops and a bunch of almost cool weapons which sold real well to merchants. Around 180pp total. We plan on going back several times and moving in deeper as we get stronger. Lots of good drops there and no competition.
