Instance questions...

volse · March 06, 2006, 02:52 PM

Hey all,
Gonna start running some low level instances and need some newb info please.
Do mobs repop behind you as you go through the instance ?
I intend to solo some of them prior to running them , so can I log out of an instance and be in the same position when I log back in ?
When you get a key for a next section , do you then have access to those areas at any time you restart the instance ?
Thanks for the help folks.

Some mobs respawn but it takes awhile. The named spawns dont repop until you reset the instance. I'm not sure about camping out inside the instance but i believe if you are camped there for a certain amount of time, it'll automatically remove you. Only seems logical to keep people from farming named mobs. I dont have any experience regarding "keys" cept SM and that you can use over and over again.

The keys must be carried with you any time you go to the instance. They are pretty much only for the front door. Most low level instances do not require keys.

Mobs repop behind you at a very slow rate.

You cannot solo any of the instances even to try them out. They are meant to be done in a group. Unless you are 60 and trying to run a level 35 instance it is pretty much impossible.

You cannot log out in an instance and expect to come back to where you left it. If you did all of the mobs would have repopped both behind and in front of you.

If you logout inside an instance for a certain ammount of time you'll be at the entrance once you login.

Not at the entrance, but where you entered the instance. Like in Maraudon, if you have the scepter, you're ported into the instance above the waterfalls. If you reset the instance (invite friend, make him/her leader, leave group, log out before you're ported out), you'll enter above the waterfalls instead of the portal entrance.
