Talk:Drazach Thicket

Speed Clear?

I heard that there's a way to speed clear this area in 15 minutes. Would anyone care to elaborate on how this is accomplished?

I'm no expert, but plugging "Drazach Thicket speed clear" into google turned up several links, including what seem to be a couple of indepth explanations on the german wartower site, google's german-to-english translation is a bit flaky, but comprehensible. --BramStoker (talk, contribs) 19:47, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Here's a link for you, Drazach Thicket Speed Clear (DTSC) Sliva Stari 02:28, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

DT can be vanquished with heroes and henchmen in ~30 minutes start to start. As "DTSC" requires multiple people, vanquishing was a better alternative for me solo. Giving all heroes a P secondary, command of 7, and "Fall Back!" they will daisy chain this to give you a "perma 33% speed boost" during the run. I have my hero team hot-keyed so that I can activate their skills to complement my own (this is very important to make fights go smoothly and quickly). The setup I used was me (AotL necro), UA monk (to prevent party wipes), SoS Rit, IA Ranger, Mhenlo (Mo), Erys Vasburg (Me), Cynn (E), and Devona (W). Prior to pulls, I would have the Rit cast splinter weapon on the ranger, the UA monk cast protective spirit on me, and the Rit cast Signet of Spirits and Bloodsong. Depending on spacing, I would lead off using Technobabble and have the ranger use IA (remember all hero skills mentioned were hotkeyed). In general, most fights lasted ~15 seconds doing this. I entered from Eternal Grove and ran clockwise, with only 3 places on the map requiring me to move into center. I just wanted to throw this out for info, as I see "DTSC" referred to often and realize many do not get the luxury of 7 others to help out. If there is interest in this vanq setup, I can post more information. Mettelus Krotus 00:56, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Vanqing

205foes, 33min(vanq), +17min(mapping lol), h/h. I came here with typical hero/henchies but I added in Vekk with air magic for some dmg (probably just drop an mm in this spot next time). I can certainly see why this area is the target of SC. I just ran headlong into this zone like a nooby and even with multiple deaths and 1 wipe I still came out with 33min vanq. With much room for improvement and ideal heros this area can be farmed even by me at a reasonable pace (aka why people SC). Justice 21:24, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Cartography %

Couldn't help but notice the Echovald Forest explorable area articles such as this one doesn't include how much % of the map they take up in the notes section, is there a reason for this?--Kryzz 20:19, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Someone has to test it to know what it is to add it. So test it and then there will no longer be a reason it hasnt been added. Justice 22:20, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
