Worst turned Best KQ

**Patches** · 10-15-2007, 05:49 PM

Not sure if this is the right place for this. Please move it if it needs to be.

The other night I entered what would be my last Mara KQ for my main character Patches, and I was hoping it would be a good one. It started out to be the worst ever. I lagged a little at the start and did not get in a party, because by the time my computer was responding everybody but me and an archer ( i was lvl 25 fighter at the time) had rushed ahead. I figured I would help her and we could catch up. WRONG. they left every mob for us. Then a guy that I was in an earlier quest with wispered me and asked where I was. I told him we got left behind. I told the archer to run and use pots and stones and I would pull aggro off her as quick as I could. We made it to where the 2 fakes are to find 5 people. I had 3 stones left at this point. We took on Marlone first, and by the time we were done we had 5 people left. 3 fighters, 1 archer, and 1 cleric. To make this very long story short, we did win the Quest with just the 5 of us to kill all the boss mobs, which by the way, take forever to kill with no big damage dealers in the group. I was impressed with the group of people we had at the end. That is how it went from the worst KQ I had ever been in (almost ready to give up when I saw only 5 of us at the fakes) to the best one I had ever been in.

I just wanted to share that with everyone in here.

Nice nice! I remember finishing a Slime KQ with only 6 people (archer as tank), and I was very proud. Don't you just love the ego-boost-feeling when you've conquered a KQ with very few people? xD

Something similar to that happened to a KQ group I was in. Everyone rushed and died. I was left behind with another Fighter and two Clerics. Sadly, we did not make it as we ran out of time. But we did manage to get up to the Pirate Ship. Bit of a shame really. If only we had more time we would've beaten it. Oh and just to let you know, I was using my (old) Fighter at the time. I don't remember what level he was though.

Yea something similiar happened to me. Our whole group consisted of 3 archers 2 mages 4 clerics (only 1 could revive) and 6 fighters. By the time we reached the 2 fakes, 1 cleric and 1 archer had died. When we were at the boat, some mage thought he was very clever and lure 3 Marlones and 2 Maras to us. What's worse was that all were fakes as the real ones are usually at the back of the second boat. So we had the tanker bring them to the back of the first boat then die and revive and run out. Then the mage was scolding us saying that we gotta kill all then he went to lure them back killing the remaining archer, mage, another cleric and 2 fighters. In the end, we managed to kill marlone and got Mara below half health but we ran out of time. Haix.

I had a couple of amazing KQs. My most recent one was a Mara KQ. We had some issues with tanks. xD; On top of nobody could seem to lure the real Mara or Marlone at the end so we had two Maras running around the back of the boat and a fake Marlone on the entrance stairs. (The stairs coming into the first boat, not the ones connecting them. ... Don't ask how he got there. >_> It's painful.)

We were all stressed out and the tanks kept on dieing and so finally a tank started taking him on and I just started spamming heal like crazy. xD It worked he was actually a very good tank once we got the ball rolling. The only problem was, we had like 3 minutes to kill Mara. >_>;

We were whacking away, or what was left of us since a lot of people had died, given up or left. We had like, 20 seconds left and I realized the tank was doing fine with the other clerics healing, and we had only a tiny amount of HP left. xD So I joined in the melee at the back with as many bashes as I could handle and all the other clerics did the same. THREE SECONDS LEFT we brought her down. 8D It was amazing. There was definitely a celebration after we were done! xD

The thing with the KQ-crisis-turned-triumph is that you always seem to make friends while you're at it. I guess near death experiences draw everyone together. C:
