if you want to vanq, bring heavy damage - there is no damage and it takes sooooo long

Vanquishing Old Ascalon
I nearly Vanquished this area six times...then common sense kicked in. Start from Sardelac Sanitarium to kill the damn Grawl. The Grawl Ulodyte run when they're around bosses. With a 33% Speed Boost, range attacks seem to be the only use. But, power is needed to speed through with a low Death Penalty, if any. So if one wishes to tank; bring something to slow their speed long enough to kill them. If you can kill all the Grawl, you should be able to vanquish the area within an hour.--iRathur 22:51, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Red Stain?
If you were to look at the may, you'd notice that just north of Sardelac Sanitarium there is a giant red stain. Anybody know what that is?

Altered spawns
I'm encountring groups of char in HM between old ascalon and the breach around balth shrine... I can provide screenshots... but I wanna know if its related to any quest I might have in log (also I'm a Rt, so I donno if nationality will have an impact) 65.6.156.101 12:49, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Checked, Hulking elementals are there, must be an active quest making the spawns or being a non proph character... gonan try abandoning all quests for proph... 65.6.156.101 19:31, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oddly, I'm getting the same thing. Ritualist, Hard Mode, no quests active on the entire continent, and running into charr in that area. 24.89.47.33 18:56, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

For some reason I didnt get Sergent Clark and his warriors to spawn. Cathan Mesmer. Do you need to be warrior secondary by chance? I know when i did it with my paragon she was p/w so just wondering since the quest (despite not available to foreigners) is a warrior one.

It's incredibly painful and I'm up to 343 spawns so far and all my heroes on 60% DP, lol. --Poobah 15:35, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Sergeant Clark also did not spawn for a Canthan Warrior, so its not your profession but it may be the campaign. --War_Pig5 18:13, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Vanq
Just completed a hardmode run.. 242 enemies and about an hour and a half with two hero henchies and a friend of mine. A couple of notes: the grawl like to run around like chickens with their heads cut off and that makes them really annoying to kill. Also, the thorn critters are really, really annoying especially when they gang up. Bring interrupts, lots of interrupts.

Farming granite + survivor
I farm this area using an sos build in HM and get exp for survivor. I'm highly successful unless I encounter too many crowns of thorns. Nearly anyone can farm this and it is not too risky. Yumiko ^,~ 02:23, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
