General information

To enter The Court of Al`Afaz everyone must hail Walheed Raffini. He is located up on the hill just outside the cavern to Shimmering Citadel/The Court of Al`Afaz.

Your faction with Al'Afaz Court will drop only by kills of named mobs in towers. Eventually, all mobs in zone will become KoS as your faction drops. Approximately 8 full clearings of this zone will make you KoS, just watch your faction on your Persona tab. Becoming KoS makes some of the pulls more interesting, but nothing that will prevent you from doing the zone. Currently not known what improves that faction.

Revive inside zone possible, by zone-in. Re-entry is 6 days. Every kill of named gives decent amount of guild level exp. Majority of drops is no-trade, class specific, bring shamans and bards since lots drops for them here.

There is one nasty bug in this zone. Your raid fellows cant be seen some times. Hence time by time you are able to see only 4 ppl out of 24. It is possible to correct it if invisible player casts some illusion spell or affected players changes SOGA models on/off.

NOTE: Evacing takes you OUTSIDE the zone and you will not be able to get back in.

Dungeon on the way to lift

~TIP~ DO NOT EVAC!!!

[edit]

By zone-in/revive

After first jump by zone-in there is NPC The Keeper of the City Keys djinn like mob on right-hand side. To turn him aggro pull close by froglok gardeners. After encounter resets, he stays attackable. Best seems to disband one person from raid, get him naked, turn djinn aggro, let player die. Pull then can be done as with regular mob no need to bother with 5x froglok. It may be also good idea to save this mob as last one at all, to save armor condition decrease by accident deaths for other mobs, since this one stands right next to revive point.

Proceed to the left lift, all mobs are non-aggro, no need to kill them. Way to lift from zone-in roughly; go over jumps until path goes no forward, jump down, go left past tent on left side, stick to right wall, climb down, follow path go right on junction,…

[edit]

Lift-up (left)

Lift is guarded by The Prismatic Captain. If you try to step on lift he become aggro, so it's best to use a monk ( in god mode) or another tank to Pull The Prismatic Captain by jumping on then running back to the raid, then kill him.

After killing the Prismatic Captain, you take the lift up to the first tower. Be aware of your faction! If you are KoS to mobs in the zone, you will be attacked IMMEDIATELY when the elevator arrives at the top.
