illusionist badge

I have just picked up the first mission from Madeleine Casey's Carnies arc (the one with a lot of train missions). I'm intending to use this to get the Illusionist badge (needed for Archmage accolade).

My idea is to clear the entire maps with a large team and kill the summoned illusionists before masters. If enough people are interested, we can set a time and do this like a mini task force.

The enemies are going to be about lvl44-45 and this is not the most efficient way to do the missions, so we'd need a strong team. Ideally I'd also like to get XP from this but let's see who's interested first.

So, anyone up for this?

Hi Idris, Ilservian is up to lvl 39 and making a push for 40. If I can get sidekicked up to make myself half useful I'd be interested in joining you

When did you have in mind? I have my defender team tonight and corrupter team on Wednesday evening, but elsewise I'm all good.

Oh, and I've never fought Carnies before, so I might need a few pointers as to their unique quirks

What happens after that, you turn into a pumpkin?

I was thinking either thursday or sunday, but before 5 pm on thursday might be a bit early for a lot of people?

Oh, and sidekicks in late 30s are absolutely welcome provided we get enough mentors.

If you want some extra firepower I can bring my main along, although it looks like he may be a bit above the level range you were after. Happy to exemp if you'd prefer.

We'd be happy to have you along, Standoff, and any other 45+ highbies are welcome too. XP is much less important than than this run smoothly.

How does sunday 4pm GMT sound to everyone?

Also, anyone know if we'll get a maximum yield of bosses on unyielding or invincible?

Tip: When you find a master illusionist, wait until he summons the illusionist, kill it, leave the MI alone. Wait until he casts another, rinse and repeat. It is the best way to kill 100 of them, as you are unlikely to get enough from the missions alone.

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to postpone this. Some RL stuff has come up and I need to be away a few days. I'll reschedule when I get back

actually its better to run an 8 man invincible team and just kill decoys AND the MI in a story arc. The recharge rate for the decoys is massive, and last time we tried farming one, we ended up spending 3 hours and only having killed 12 decoys.

Meh, that's just because your Dutch..
With an italian around those MI spawn decoys like crazy..

No serious, it took me 2-3 hours, in a full team on Invincible to get enough decoys(200) out, they have an average recharge of around 4 minutes (those MI should really respec Hasten in..) so farming 2 at once and provided the team doesn't get wiped(with a full team of 50 we had 5-6 people at the debt cap in no time, fighting lvl 51s MI)so in a couple of hours you should hopefully get enough from 2 MI.

A tip is to use AoE attacks, since you don't need to actually kill them, but even slightly damaging them will award you the kill when they disapper, you'll see in the system chat [Xxxxx has defeated Illusionist] even if she was with almost all the life left.

In the end my tip is to find at least 2 MI and farm them.
If they're low enough for you try with more than that, you say they should be lvl 45-46, if you have enough people to SK the team up to 48+ it should be easy to farm more than 2 at once, hence easier badge!

When I got the badge we were farming 6 lvl 46 MI's and took us about 3 hours to get the badge - so yes the best plan is to to lvl 45 invincible mishes and sk up
