Kod`Taz, Broken Trial Grounds

Overview

Kod`Taz is a huge zone which ramps up the difficulty. General mob population ranges from 64 to 68 and all of them hitting for over 1k with loot having around 125 hp/mana and having a type 8 slot instead of type 7. There are 24 rares spawning all over the zone, each capable of dropping all three types of spell runes making it an ideal place to farm if you are able. Most rares' loot tables consist of 2 augments and 1 piece of gear. In addition to the rares there are two zonewide drops Reflective Orb of Energy and Guise of Seething Satisfaction.

The zone in from Natimbi drops you in the northeast corner. The group Ikkinz instances are in the south east, the raid Ikkinz instances are to the west, the path to Yxtta is in the southwest, and after enough progression there is a path to Qvic to the far west.

There is a lot of progression to do in Kod`Taz. A number of fetch quests, 3 group instances, 4 raid instances, and 3 static raid events.

Rare Mobs

With two dozen rares spread across the zone, all of which can drop all three types of spells, Kod`Taz is an excellent hunting ground. The loot table is generally 2 augments and 1 item with a great deal of redundant drops.

Events and Raids

Temple of the Damned

Size: Unlimited, 2+ groups suggested
Respawn: 1 hr on fail, 3 days on success
Trigger: /open the bones at the back of the temple

When you /open the bones 4 "Pixtt Priest Guardian" spawn, 3 ixts and 1 aneuk. They can all be mezzed.

When all 4 are dead Pixtt Priest Summoner becomes active. It is permarooted and quads for 1500. No spells listed, but likely casts standard Aneuk stuff.

Each Guardians drops 6 glyphs for Kod`Taz Progression and Summoner drops one of the following:



Pit of the Lost

Size: Unlimited, 3+ groups suggested
Respawn: 3 days
Trigger: tell Tublik Narwethar "I'll stop it", requires having reached this point in Kod`Taz Progression

After triggering with Tublik "Ageless Relic Protector" spawns far up north at the Pit of the Lost. It hits for 2200, reportedly AE rampages, and casts Strike of Glory, an FD effect. When killed two more "Ageless Relic Protector"s spawn. These triple for 1600, single target rampage, and immune to mez/root. When these die they each spawn three more which triple for 1800 and are also immune to mez/root.

Each of the 6 final mobs will drop Protector's Relic of Energy for Kod`Taz Progression and one of them will drop one of the following:



Summoner Ring

Size: Unlimited, 6+ groups suggested
Respawn: 3 days
Trigger: Open event, just engage when ready

At the start of the event there are 9 Pixtt Priest Summoner, all permarooted, in circle with Pixtt Grand Summoner, inactive, in the center. During the event all mobs must be kept inside this circle or they will heal back to full. Throughout the event the Grand Summoner casts Energy Siphon, an AE mana drain.

The Pixtt Priest Summoners hit around 1400, proc Aneuk Grasp a 350 dot with snare and cast Lull of the Aneuk II a 24 second mez. While killing these a number of Rav Priest Guards spawn and attack. These hit 1200, AE rampage, and proc Chaos Claws a 650 dd and dot.

Once all of thhe Summoners are dead you are attacked by 3 "Deranged Greater Stoneservant" and 3 "Deranged Lesser Stoneservant". The lessers hit for 600ish and can be mezzed while the greaters hit 800 and are immune to mez. Each time one is killed the inactive Grand Summoner will drop 10% and respawn. This continues until it is down to 10%, the golems will stop respawning so clear them out.

Once the final golem dies the Grand Summoner activates. Since it is at 10% health and rooted it will instantly summon. It will quad for over 2k. Quickly burn through its remaining health and Hexxt Chaos Provoker will spawn and attack. This Ra'Tuk can hit for 2500, flurry, AE rampage, and single target rampage. Reportedly unslowable as well. When it dies 6 "Deranged Supreme Stoneservant" spawn. These can quad for 750. Killing them completes the event.

Each Supreme Stoneservant drops 6 Grand Summoner's Glyph for Kod`Taz Progression and the Grand Summoner and Provoker each drop two from the following:
