So... late last night, we took an exploratory fellowship into the forgotten treasury. Not really expecting to complete all of the quests or the instance as we didn't have the "perfect mix of classes". But I've got to give it to Turbine. They seem to have done an excellent job at making instances that don't need the "perfect mix". We had a guard, hunter, burglar, lore-master, champion and captain and we didn't spend money on changing traits or whatnot for the instance. Just went in and gave it the classic pillager try. We did wipe on the twins, but the second time, we actually had time to read the blurb on their effects and were able to take them down the second time.
But, of course we're pillagers d**nit, and we cleaned the place out. Huzzah.
Kinda silly that there's a couple of quests that cannot be completed in a single run through, we had to complete, leave, disband and reenter to get them done...
But it was fun, challenging and worthwhile. Not GREAT loot, but decent. And you get miner rep for killing folks which is what I was going after first (will be kindred after doing the garnet quest tonight
)
Lessons learned:
1) use the chumpies on the chumpie when they "go ghost".
2) keep the troll twins separated
3) be careful on the pulls (obviously), but know that there are groups of mobs that are linked. pulling one, even if the rest of his buddies are around the corner, is going to pull the whole group.
4) bring poison, fear and wound potions... use them... and as always in moria, watch for corruptions.
and that's all I'll say for fear of going into spoiler territory.
