Zukan's APW Jaunt
Posted: Sun Feb 06, 2022 2:48 am
Zukan recently went to APW to learn his DK ability and quite a number of people expressed interest in going if they had known, so Zukan said he would go back probably in a week or so, when a time has been set it will be posted here.
Xinux is in the process of making mobs (especially APW) hit for the sort of numbers they are supposed to, not the weaksauce they are now, so numbers will matter when that update hits.
If you are asking yourself, why would you want to do this?
1. Fun
2. Chance at 48+ Orange/Purple/Red named loot.
3 In time, for proper testing of APW content.
4. Fun
If anyone is new to this kind of content or just new please see below for advice on getting set up.
Anyone can come to APW, if you don't want to use your normal play toon, start a new toon.
1. /say .setlevel 50 0 1 (make sure you do it exactly like this, the 0 is for adv class, the 1 is so you get max skills for that level)
2. /say .setmoney 1000000 (with yourself targeted)
3. /say .rift rentonkeep
Go inside the building train all your abilities, then get out of trainer, then get back into trainer and train the ones you couldn't see before.
If you wish to come, please reply to this post with the name and class of the character you wish to bring.

Getting ready to join us in APW -
1. Please take the time to learn the class you are going to bring, as best you can, but at minimum have your abilities set up before you come, we don't want everyone sitting around waiting on a couple of people to get ready, if this is you, expect to get left to get setup and then brought to the group when you are.
2. https://vanguard.fandom.com/wiki/Macros is a fantastic resource on making macros in VG, lots of really useful tips.
AT MINIMUM everyone needs an assist macro set to assist whoever is assigned as MA(Main Assist) this is very simple, right click an empty slot on your hotbar, give your macro a name, tick text only and then in the body of the macro text type /assist fezikk (fezikk to be changed for whomever your MA(Main Assist) is) this way you can make sure you are hitting the right target.
3. Custom UIs like Drox UI, there are others some prefer too have a lot of really cool stuff like healer hotbars that make things a good deal easier if you are playing healer, so consider getting one setup if you haven't already.
4. If you do die, please do not click release unless asked to do so. (Edited apparently you can res from a tombstone, but when I tried previously it wouldn't let me, guess I was bugged)
5. General raid rules, if you are not familiar.
a. If you accidentally get aggro on a mob we have not engaged, die out of aggro range of the raid if possible, do NOT train the raid
b. If you get aggro on the mob we are killing run to the tank, do not make them chase you, not all rescue/force abilities work currently, try not to get aggro but if you do, get to the tank so they can pull the mob off you.
c. ALWAYS assist the MA (Main Assist, who may or may not be MT depending on setup)
d. Don't loot anything unless directed to do so by the leader (Zukan)
e. know if you are one of the raid "buffers" if so, know your buffs, be ready to cast them when called for, when someone dies they will always need to be rebuffed after res.
That should cover the basics hopefully, if anyone has anything they think needs to be included here, please let me know.
