Already have the quest for it but its not giving me a way point to go ahead and do it/find it. that's my problem atm.

Another short way of this exploit/hack/trick is by running into the instance, looting the first dungeoneering node, then going back out the same door.

Takes about 30secs to 1 min to do if the mobs dont agro.

2:30 after the suicide mob before opening the gate there's 1 more node behind therocks

I had the quest shared and im in front of the entrance but for some reason I cant enter. Just walk around the front with nothing happening and no option to interact. Anyone else having this problem?

[kevin719]

shit i've made this quest with all my chars, anyone on mindflayer could share it to me?

[Obbeh]

the 2 actual chests i found in here on this run as well stoped being able to be opened lol

From the new patch notes. This method is likely no longer viable. I'm not sure if there was another level 60 instance outside of foundry content (which has no skill checks, and much less loot).

Illithid Enclave: A few skill nodes have been removed from this instance.
Illithid Enclave: This instance is now considered level 59 for random drop calculations, down from 60.

Edited portion:

I played through the run on my 60 rogue to see how it went after the nerf. The results were fairly pitiful. They removed 3 skill checks, the one dungoneering in the front, the arcane node in the hidden room, and a religion node after the rock window (the one you can squeeze through). If you did this by hand for farming purposes, you will probably not do it by hand anymore as the results are horrid. If you did this with a bot, you will probably still do this, but will gain significantly less enchants/hour.

I usually get 8-10 r4 enchants and the run takes me about 10-12 minutes, killing every mob. I got 1 r4, and perhaps 9 r3, which is much less r3 than I would have gotten in a pre nerf run. My averages pre nerf were 9.5 r4 and 15 r3 in any given run, not to mention residium, and other incidental crafting mats, which were also substantially reduced. Everything is basically much worse. I'll need more data, but the outlook is bleak for this farming run.

You also no longer gain Greater Identify scrolls, so my strategy of looting the greens to vendor for gold is basically non-sustainable without spending AD for the scrolls, which would make the practice much less lucrative. An identified level 60 green vendors for the gold equivalent of about 160 AD, if you need to buy the scroll that figure is much diminished.

You no longer gain Major Healing pots. You get the next tier down, which are much less valuable.

So pretty much this is dead in my book and I'll be looking for another by-hand farming technique.

yes and they have yesterday a stealth patch that had nerfed the 100% spawn of the first skill node

[lobomatic]

So basically you only get LVL60 loot/enchants via dungeons. Except identify scrolls, those drop in the foundry (at least prepatch).

[ZeroHackX]

Basically, find yourself a way to bot in this game as anything manually will net you a waste of time.

[lobomatic]

Funny. They wanted to nerf botting with these changes and that leads to botting, bc everything else is just not worth it.
