Haha! Yeah! The pylons in DM: West can be done. You may die though if you aren't careful. For those curious the first pull will be a group of 3 and is the most challenging. You'll get the one you attack and the two closest on either side of it.

What I have been doing:

- Open with banish on one (the big one if possible) sending VW to off-tank one of the adds.
- Burn down the other one FAST ... saccing VW for shield mid fight.
- Zone out.

Then come back in and work the groups of two keeping one banished and killing the other.

I've got one Libram of Focus so far this way ... and the vendor trash the drop sells for decent cash too. It's just that if you are dying that will rack up your repair costs. I've also got a fair amount of epic gear / hitpoints so this is easier for me.

ZG Enchant Run

I had a problem where I had a pair of Nemesis Pants and all the completed materials for a ZG enchant (Arcanum of Focus, Hakkari Armsplint, Voodoo Doll) but no one in guild was interested in a run because it was too late.

Fine. So.... Soulstoned myself up and found you can sac VW then ride an epic mount all the way to the top of Zanzil's Rise for the enchant... die there and use SS. When picking a route around the right and over the two bridges is good -- watch out for the 2 pathers (preference is for them to be close to the entrance so you can avoid them) and remember that snakes will be doing less damage to you then trolls. Agro them if you must but stray from large packs of trolls!

Using a SECOND Soul Stone I also found I could get near the Tiger Boss. There is a Hoodoo Pile in a group of Tiger Cubs. You can pull these solo and kill them and then grab the Hoodoo Pile. Too often these contain nothing though. :( This might be a good option for a skinner however to get leather.
