Ring of Dances

Ring of Dances

- Artifact For basic info on this encounter see: http://www.visionofsages.net/toa/artifacts/ring.html

Approach Desmona's Island from the Aerus Haven (east) side and come on shore at 32256, 48228 Notos. If any invisible harpies attack you, your pet should aggro them if he's on Defense. Stop where you are and let him tank it down before you move on. Once you're in the spot, type /dig with both your SM and Shaman until you uncover a Revelation Token. Pick it up and you should now be able to see the harpies on the island.

Head over to 25469, 42889 killing any harpies you need to along the way. Once you're in the right spot, if you /dig it you'll either start digging or it will say "You can't do that right now". If you get the message, you'll have to come back later. If you start digging, the encounter is up. Get a power font up.

You may have to /dig several times before the Harpy of the Dance spawns. When it spawns it aggros on the person doing the digging, so only dig with your SM. When it spawns, your pet should aggro on it and you'll need to chain heal with your shaman. Pop your ML9 ability and let the pet kill it while the SM "tanks". It took a few minutes and I actually got pretty low on power on my shaman and had to use a power heal pot, but only one. Heal all you want, your bot won't get aggro.

No special drops from this other than the artifact.

Note: The first time I dug up the harpy I wasn't fast enough with the heals and died, but the shaman didn't get aggro even though he was standing in melee range. The harpy stuck around for about 30 seconds after that. So I think you could rez the SM and quickly pop your ML9 pet and send it in and use focus shield to kill it. Just get some quick Con buffs on the pet. I'm just not gonna spend another hour digging to find out if that works. ;)
