Plane of Hate question.

[Skullet Crossbones]

I have always wanted to see this zone and have yet to do so. I was curious if a 65 beastlord with the aa's and equipment i have in my magelo could solo here or at least duo with a 65 enchanter. One person i asked said there are zone wide aggro mobs up in this zone sometimes and if so that kind of makes it a bit to scary for me. Also what stone is needed and where can it be bought for the wizard to port me here if i go.

Thanks for any opinions or tips!  :D

At 65, I find it very easy to solo here at least the Tier1 & Tier2 mobs, so you will have no problem duoing with an enchanter.  

Plane of Hate - Marrsinger Quests

The only mobs to be a little more circumspect with (as far as Tier1 and Tier2 stuff) are the golems (insane MR- dont even try to slow them, even after tash) and the drakes (necro mobs, like old world dragons, need to be in melee range for spells to land).  Other than those 2, the rest are pretty much cake.  I have spent a lot of time up there (trying to complete the Marrsinger Quest) and the only mobs that have a larger than normal agro range are The Deathrot Knight (spawns in NE of zone, usually is up) and thought destroyer (pally epic mob - drops Tainted Darksteel BP) and Corrupter of Life (lich looking mob).  Everything else there has a smaller than average agro radius, including the Tier4 mobs (who are level 62-64, Tier4 named are level 65).

One thing worth mentioning is that the named mobs (besides those mentioned above and Inny and Maestro) give an abnormally large xp hit when killed, eg with a full group killing a Tier4 named netted me 9% aa.

The other nice thing about this zone is all the old hate armor that drops randomly on tier1-2 mobs (very rare off Tier3-4 mobs).  This can be turned in to the appropriate GM in PoK for xp (i get 3-4% for a BP) and a random gem (peridot to BD).

Other notable rare drops in Tier1 are the Staff of Elemental Mastery: Earth (can be MQ'd for Mage Epic) which can drop off any male vampire mob (revenants) and the Shattered Emerald of Corruption (rare from most Tier1 mini's) for the ranger primary epic sword (Earthcaller). That can net a substantial profit for it's MQ.

Overall, this place is quiet, and xp can be very good for a makeshift group in Tier4 (2-4% aa per kill) and they have low hp's generally.

Edit:  The stone required is the Fuligan Soulstone of Innoruuk and can be purchased from outside the cleric guild in Neriak 3rd Gate (~60pp).

In a full group of 65s we were all averaging 13% to 17% per kill.  Where exactly we were I am unsure since I was ported up then Cothed over.  I did loot a couple pieces of the Marsinger quest, text of pain and some Knight rune (forgot the name).

Very fun place to exp, friends say the exp was a little better then Sol Ro tower.

Thinking about taking my beastlord and wizard up there and was wondering how easy/hard it would be to try holding down the named minibosses in Tier 1. All defensive AA's are maxxed and I have about 1150ac self-buffed.

Wanna start on the Marsinger quest for the wiz. The hybrid Quest 3 item is nice but I don't see myself replacing the Ceramic shield of Valor with it.

Just went there last night solo (Thanks Brenlo, good job putting the hate portal lady in PoK so I don't need to beg a wiz for port) I have no problem keeping ALL the tier 1 mini's/ph down. Was there for only 2 cycles and killed the zombie named (only one named spawned).  Only bad thing I had was a wierd aggro of Vicar of Inny (or something like that). It was probably some bugs that I aggro'ed him thru wall. Pulling was a joke. Most of the time you can single pull. I can do 2, probably 3, at a time with my crappy gears and aa's anyway. ALSO, my warder doesn't aggro mobs there while fighting for some unknown reasons. I can just send my pet to a mob without aggro'ing mobs nearby. I think it is a bug? I will go there again and again. One hour = 2k shinny pp + 60% aa are what really impressed me too. Some more info for you who want to go there.

Portal lady is right in the building when you portal into PoK. She is a wizard having an epic on hand.

Soulstone can be bought in Neriak 3rd Gate in the cleric guild. He is a general supplies vendor. Cost = 60pp or less, I made a DE who has only 65 CHA and utilized the shared bank. I have a full bag of gems in bank now HEHEHEHE.

Respawn time = 28 mins.

Remember, only way to get outta hate is gate.
