An experience... To Rule the Skies

So I finally finished up the TEN freakin' games of Simon last night so I could work on Ogri'la dailies. Between latency, lag and "OgriLazy" not being as stable of a mod as it used to be, it took me about twenty-five tries to get all ten completed.

I am thinking about heading to bed after a couple bombing runs and wrangling netherays... then I see the quest "To Rule the Skies". Figure "what the heck, how hard could it be?"

For me? HARD.

Should have read up on the quest I guess because the fears came as a surprise.... got the dragon down to 57% over the next five minutes but then he feared me for a fourth or fifth time. Clones got feared right off the edge of the world.

HAHA... good times.

The only reason this didn't frustrate me is because I had spent the last TWO hours trying to complete the damn Simon quests on all five of my toons.

You can outrange the fear but it is tight and different dragons have different abilities. I can almost 2-man those dragons with the pally tank and the priest as long as I can avoid adds. My priest regens mana quicker than used for heals. It will just take a long long time.

You need to prepare yourself beforehand for a very long fight though. The biggest problem I had was getting feared into adds. If one of my crew got feared close to the edge I would reposition them manually far far away. The last one I did on Bashirs Landing did a knockback that was really annoying and even if you clear the area you get respawns before the dragon is dead and with the knockback you can get a few.

For simon, public chat is your friend.

Simonbot: RED YELLOW GREEN GREEN BLUE WHOOPSLAGBLUEBLUEBLUEYELLOWREDOMGHAX

Basically, hit enter, leave chat open; type the first letter of each color; press enter when it's done; voila, instant easy referral.

Eteocles: r y g g b b b b y r omghax

Then I simply refer to chat for my order, I've yet to be zapped with this method.

I use my chat bar too, but I never hit enter - I just use backspace to reclear the box... No reason to let the whole world know how lazy / dumb I am!

I have yet to do it yet, but I am pretty sure there is a giant version of simon says for groups -- that counts for the whole group at once (Only have to do it once for all 5 guys)

That's not a daily though Joe, you do it once for the quest then repeat for the little blue Apexis Crystals(aka Vendor tokens for Ogrila's quartermaster, and Ogrila's vendor gear SUCKS lol)

It is a daily quest you do the big simon says as a group once each of your 5 toons have the quest, and it will finish on all of them once you complete the color sequence and the giant spawns.

The quest is to get the Buff...the big one spawns the giant, the little ones give the buff(I could be wrong and/or it may've been changed but I don't recall the big one buffing you)

It also completes it for anyone who happens to be in the vicinity of you when you complete the central simon says thingy and the [url='http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11059']rock dude[/url] comes out.

Horde love to cluster near me when I do the simon game.

As per some wowhead comments

Actually, Bawsderitchy is partially correct. You won't get a quest complete if you are near someone using the smaller crystals. However, if you are near the monument when a *group* is using the larger crystal to summon an apexis guardian, it might happen. ( see http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11059 ) I say "might" because it appears the group has to successfully complete the entire lighting sequence. I discovered this myself when I was running by a monument as a group finished. They weren't even my faction, but I still received the "Apexis Enlightenment" buff and also a complete for "The Relic's Emanation".

So if I am understanding this correctly... Big simon completes little simon daily for all five guys and summons the giant... but it costs 35 shards.
