Everyone should give Tarantia Noble Catacombs a go & some other group instances too.

Hi People, we all know some of the elite instances suck the major dogs bollox, just try say Cistern with its rediculous respawn rates & overcrowding or even Thunder River Prison with its stupidly difficult boss mobs & some mobs that respawn in 4 seconds (no its not a typo some of them do respawn in as little as 4 seconds) they arent much fun and no one really likes to go to them so finding a group is neigh on impossible.

There is however hope for group instances.

Blaobat & myself along with Seaphas and some others (sorry I forgot your names but it was 4am for me) ran The Tarantia Noble District Catacombs last night & it was a lot of fun. Its a group instance so no respawns & no other groups running around in there screwing you over. We had 2x DT's a Conq & 2 Bear Shamans although you can do all but the last boss with less. Some good blues drop in there Including the Hero Kings breeastplate for you Heavy armour wearers (I used that until level 72 so its a good bit of gear)

Other things I recomend trying:

-Burning Sanctum, still cant believe how many people dont bother with this. Its good fun, a private instance, has very slow respawns & good loot items. Its even worth running a few times as the gear that drops i still useable into your 60's.

-Not insanely Hard.
-Is a Private Instance.
-Has respawns but they are incredibly slow.
-Bosses have great blue loot drops for all classes, many of which will last you 10+ levels (lvl 45+).

-Tarantia Noble District - Arena its working yay. Again this is a private instance, once you have the key there is a whole load of solo & group quests you can take on in there & the quest rewards are quite nice with some puples for the final quests.


-Challenging & fun
-Is a Private Instance.
-has both solo & group quests.
-Quest Rewards are a nic selection of blues & some purples.

-Tarantia Noble District - Catacombs As I mentioned above, its a private instance, no respawns & it is quite good fun.

-Challenging & fun
-Is a Private Instance.
-No monster respawns.
-Bosses have great blue loot drops for all classes, many of which will last you 10+ levels (lvl58+).

Next I think I would like to give Tord;s tomb a try & give my report. Until then if your stuck for something to do, want good loot or something as a change from solo-ing gives some or all of these options a go.
