Plane of Justice Trials Raid Guide

The following is a guide for leading a group to complete the Plane of Justice Execution Trial. The document is broken into sections for Getting the Quest, Starting the Trial, The Trial, After completing the Trial, and Strategy.

Getting the Quest

Talk to Mavuin in the basement cellblock of the Plane of Justice. Hail him and follow the dialogue. He will ask you to plead his case before the Tribunal, agreeing will grant you a character flag.

Starting the Trial

Head to the area in the Plane of Justice with The Tribunal, and ask them about Mavuin. Following the dialog, saying "I am prepared" to each Tribunal will give you description of the six trials.

To do this one, say "I am ready to begin the trial of execution." Make sure you are actually prepared when you say that because your group will be teleported to the event area where you will only get a few seconds before things start.

The Trial

This trial goes in four waves. When you start the trial, an executioner will spawn at the far end of the room. Your job is to protect the prisoners from being executed. Four waves of Mobs will spawn. Kill them as fast as you can because the Executioner moves toward the prisoners as you attempt to kill the mobs and if you are not fast enough he will kill the prisoner and your trial will have failed. Each wave goes faster than the one before it, so try to conserve mana on the early ones so that you can do some serious nuking by the last one.

After you have killed off the fourth wave, you need to then kill the executioner. Killing him wins the trial and wins you the Mark of Execution.

After Completing the Trial

Now talk to the Tribunal and say "what evidence of Mavuin" and they will tell you that they have consented to hear Mavuin's case. Head back down and hail him.

Mavuin tells you: "So you have pleaded my case to the Tribunal, I am most thankful. I hope that they will listen to my case soon and release me. The knowledge that I promised you is this. The followers in the Plane of Tranquility are trying to find information on what has happened to Zebuxoruk. What I know is that he has been captured for a second time. If you want to find out more information I believe you should seek an audience with Karana and Mithaniel Marr. I can only assume that they were present at the time of his capture and know why this has taken place. Also seek from Marr a way to translate the divine language. Only with it can you understand the writing of the gods. There is no more that I can tell you, but thank you once again for your attempt in returning my freedom."

You are now flagged to be able to enter the Plane of Storms and and Plane of Valor.

heres a lil more info as per our boards put up by Sidd 70th mnk raid and guild officer

I am in as well - and yes, do all of them, need more people flagged for 7th hammer so I can get my next step in epic 1.5 in about 2009 .

About strategies:
Most people do "Execution" trial, which is probably the easiest (and most people know how to do it). So here some basic things:

* To find out which of the black guys does what trial, walk up to them and say "I am prepared".
* General info about the trial can be found on Allakhazam http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=2208.
* Assign an MT.
* The general rule is to bring at least 300 DPS. To give a rough comparison: A level 65 rogue in PoP era bazaar stuff will be around 100 DPS.
* Assist the MT. Always.
* While only 6 people can be in the trial you can use more help with buffing before the trial starts.
* Focus on one target at a time. For example by assisting a MT.
* You should either have a high level healer that can take a few hits from those mobs (mobs hit slightly harder than the PoI robots) or have an enchanter (don't forget a DCed mouse).
* Have a MT pick the targets one by one and have everyone assist.
* If you are light on DPS but your healer is good - take a damage shield and don't slow.
* Did I mention to assist the MT?
* Have the tank sit in the middle of the room after a wave is killed and everyone else move to one of the corners. That way the tank will get aggro before the others.
* ... /assist ...
* There are 2 types of mobs: fiends (you know them from Paludal ...) and boulders/rock golems. The golems can be destroyed with destroy summoned as last means if you have a druid/mage and they have too much money (useful if you NEED a mob dead NOW).

If you can you should complete all the trials in order to face the 7th Hammer. Not only a loot dropper but he's also form some epic- I think munk.

Hi, Truly Naughty Boardstalker here,

yes, 7th hammer is used for monk epic (first of the raid mobs for 1.5). You can either kill the regular for that one (who also drops his normal - recently upgraded - loot) or the monk can spawn one which is as hard, but only drops the quest piece.
The execution trial is the easiest. The others are (most of them) fun, not that hard to do and actually quite nice XP. If you need some DPS (or emergency tank) and see me online just send a /tell and I will try to help (after all I might come back to you at some point and try to convince you to help me with 7th hammer :)).

Yours, Sidd(haya), 70th monk, Truly Naughty Troop
