Muramite Proving Grounds Raid Trials
Introduction
The 6 raid trials are given from the same projections that offer the group trials. You'll need to defeat all six to get flagged for Anguish.
Trial of Adaption
Tell the Projection of Realms "adaption" to get your instance. Once everybody has zoned in tell the Master of Adaption "we are ready to begin" to start the event. During the event you will face off against a Constuct that changes form at random intervals (seems to be timed):
- Construct of Pain
-
In the Dragorn form the construct hits for 4500ish, flurries, and has two spells:
- Withering Heat - single target 1500dd and 200 end drain.
- Lacerating Aura - a 3 tick self buff with a 1500 point spell ds.
- Construct of Power
- In the Golem form the construct hits for 4500, flurries, and spawns 5 "a diminutive construct". The adds hit for just over 1k each, can be mezzed, and despawn when the construct changes phase. This form is supposedly weak to Blunt damage.
- Construct of Brutality
- In the Bazu form the construct hits for 4500 and AE rampages. This form is supposedly weak to Slash damage.
- Construct of Fire
-
In the Pyrilian form the construct quads for 4500 and has two spells:
- Metacrystalline Polyphase - an AE that deals 1500 dot and 150 mana per tick drain. 36 curse counters.
- Flickering Fire - a self buff with a 500 point spell ds and 75 ds to melee.
- Construct of Ice
-
In the Gelidran form the construct hits for 4500, possibly flurries, and has two spells:
- Breath of the Gelidran - an AE that deals 2k dd, 500 end drain, and snare.
- Glint of Ice - a self buff giving a 50% chance to reflect spells.
Keep fighting the construct while responding to the changes of phase until it dies. Afterward a "Shell of the Master" spawns containing 3 of the following:
- Boots of Shifting Time
- Boots of Altered Perception
- Sandals of Constant Change
- Supple Slippers of Transformation
- Sapphire Choker of Adaptation
- Belt of Inevitable Conversion
- Ring of Fluid Perception
- Veil of Intense Evolution
- Wand of Twisted Fate
- Soulskive
- Matchless Silvery Claymore
Trial of Corruption
Tell the Projection of Power "corruption" to get your instance. Once everybody has zoned in hail any of the NPCs and say "we were expecting a fight" to start the event. The trial consists of three waves of npcs with very player like behavior. The first wave is 6, the second wave is 12, the third is 18. None of them can be mezzed, charmed, or spell stunned. The clerics heal, the rogues will SOS and backstab, the warriors will taunt, the enchanters will mezz, the wizards and mages will nuke, monks will FD (become non agro and heal), etc... The exact composition of each wave might be random. The waves don't spawn until the previous wave is completely defeated, so it is a good idea to keep a single cleric locked down while you rez and recover before moving on.
When the final wave is defeated a "Shell of the Corrupted" spawns containing 3 of the following:
- Bracer of the Debauched
- Bracer of Corrupted Souls
- Wristband of Spectral Corruption
- Bracelet of the Corrupter
- Shawl of Nefarious Favor
- Cord of the Malcontent
- Screaming Skull of Discontent
- Cloak of the Faithless
- Howling Blood-Stained Bulwark
- Fangs of the Serpent
- Darkiron Bow of Betrayal
Trial of Endurance
Tell the Projection of Body "endurance" to get your instance. Once everybody has zoned in you'll see Zellucheraz and Ansdaicher waiting. Hail either and say "we are ready to begin" to start the event and both attack. Zellucheraz quads for 2600 and has 2 spells:
- Complex Gravity - an AE that snares, debuffs strength, 35 mana per tick drain and a 150 dot. 75 curse counters, you're not curing it before recast
- Shackleroot - a proc which deals 500 dd and root.
- Withering Heat - A single target 1500 dd and 200 end drain
- Shackleroot - a proc which deals 500 dd and root.
While these two are kept busy by the tanks, the raid is beseiged by numerous adds of different flavors, each from a specific location:
- a dragorn antagonist
- These hit for 1600 and can be stunned/snared/rooted
- a dragorn champion
- These hit for 1600 and can be stunned/snared/rooted
- a dragorn defender
- These hit for 1600 can be mezzed
- a frantic discordling
- These hit for 2700 and run at bard speed
- a muramite sentinel
- These hit for 2000 and can be stunned/snared/rooted
The goal here is to simply survive for the entire 20 minute duration, damage done to the bosses doesn't matter at all. The bosses lose health at a steady rate of 5% per minute. After the full 20 minutes the bosses should die and the Shell of the Ancients spawns containing 3 of the following:
- Armplates of Endless Fortitude

There are 6 permarooted dragorns: Annihilator, Adept, Flamecaster, Spellscribe, Incinerator, and Acolyte. While engaged with them a bunch of emotes will be going off, some global some personal:

- something about your rings, best to remove them before the event, don't have exact text - Remove your rings or take 1200 damage and 25% melee and haste slow
Essentially just obey emotes while killing the 6 dragorns. Alternatively, ignore the room emotes (they don't always respond properly anyway) and focus dps on getting dragorns down as fast as possible. When they are all dead the Shell of the the Master spawns containing 3 of the following:
- Hammered Helm of Foresight
- Helm of Inventive Perception

Trial of Hate
Tell the Projection of Mind "hate" to get your instance. Once everybody has zoned in tell the Master of Hate "we are ready to begin" to start the event. Initially there are 6 Voracious Feran, rooted in place, don't summon. Every 15 seconds a direpup will spawn at one of the Ferans. They are immune to mez and root, hit for 700-1300 max (depending on type), and all cast Lash Out, a single target 4k dd and stun. When a pup is killed the Feran it spawned at will take a few percent of damage, this is in addition to damage taken from normal raid dps. This continues until the Feran is at 18% at which point it no longer takes damage from pups and only standard dps works. Once all 6 Voracious Feran are dead the Master of Hate activates. The master starts out hitting for 5k, but every 10 seconds with the same target his max hit increases, so it is a good idea to have two (or more) tanks fighting for agro to keep his damage managable.
When the Master is dead the Shell of the the Master spawns containing 3 of the following:
- Greaves of Seething Rage
- Legplates of Abhorrent Memories
- Leggings of Fearsome Deeds

- Searing Pain - 6k fire based AE
- Chilling Agony - 6k cold based AE
- Glimmering Aura - 6k magic based AE
