The update to make the accumulated ley-line instanced for players completely broken this event and the associated Thwart the Inquest achievement…

I’ve been trying to get the Thwart the Inquest achievement numerous times now. Not only is it IMPOSSIBLE to stop the inquest from getting any ley-line magic, but with 2 people (running full dps) the event fails EVERY TIME. 10 golems spawn at a time, many with large health pools and break bars, making it impossible to kill them while running the ley-line magic.

Please fix this event. It’s extremely frustrating and unfair that a once easy achievement can no longer be completed because of unforeseen consequences of the redesign. And the scaling is just awful (2 players should be able to at least complete the event). 8-10 golems spawn at a time even though it’s just me and my brother attempting the achievement…

There’s an instance? I totally missed that.

Maybe you could ask others to join you.

Good luck.

I wasn’t aware it was ever redesigned. I don’t think I’ve ever seen just a couple of people try it unless it was an off hour. It’s probably harder now with most people having done the event series unless it happens to be in a zone that is daily events. Try running either Shana or Fiona in Snowden Drifts for that achievement; there is usually enough people to make the event succeed.

“Instanced” is a confusing description. The OP means since they made it so players don’t have to compete with each other for each piece of leyline magic, rather than an actual instance (pocket dimension) that the event takes place in.

Two people simply isn’t enough to complete the event. Whether that’s okay or not okay…Try using the LFG tool to find a group of people to do it with?

If you’re in Blazeridge, it’s possible to cheese the Northern event by putting ley energy in the tree. Mobs will cluster around it, if it’s the closest one, but they can’t climb the tree or pick up the energy. That might not let you do it with two people, but it can help a lot with a group. Just be sure to add new energy to the tree, since the old ones will despawn over time, and to pick up any new ones that appear which might be closer than the tree.

It can be done with two people – my wife managed it with one other. I have done it twice with three. It’s hard, though, and not all the locations are the same level of difficulty due to adds and geography. It could certainly scale better.

I don’t know about two people, but I did manage to complete this event a few times yesterday (there were a few failures too).

I think the easiest is on the side of Mount Maelstrom. We just parked on the spawn point and wiped them out.

Also, for those that didn’t know, kill those golemancers!

I did it a few times yesterday – once flawlessly too. They key is numbers. Less is good. It seems to be a problem with the scaling. Most of my successful runs now come late at night or low pop maps during the day.

I got my Thwart the Inquest achievement the first time I did the new ley line achievements they introduced from last patch. As long as there aren’t too many people upscaling the mobs to champions, or people leaving ley line energy close to the Inquest’s collection area, it shouldn’t be hard at all.

It took a while, but I got it when we put ley-line energy in a tree to get the golems stuck there.

Admittedly, that’s a cheap way to do it, but it works.

It took me a while to get it after the patch made it harder, but we got it by putting ley line energy in a tree where the golems chase after it but can’t get it.

It’s cheap, but it works.
