Fire Temple Instance - Perfect Place To Farm

The Fire Temple is one of the first instances you can do. I'm not sure at which level you can do this, but our entire group of 6 did it at level 30. The highest level monsters we fought inside were level 37 and because there is a big gap between the monster's level and our level, we barely did any damage to them. But, it all ended up well.

This was the formation of the group we entered with.
  1. FailSauce - 30 Templar
  2. Drakenwode - 30 Templar
  3. Cira - 30 Chanter
  4. Losso - 30 Assassin
  5. Coy - 30 Gladiator
  6. Jupiter - 30 Spiritmaster
This was actually a nice setup because to get to the boss (named Corrupt Judge Kromede) we've gotten to, having 2 templars in the group really helped out. I'm not saying you can't do it with 1 templar, but having 2 in the group makes it easier. We've got 3 people that are semi-high to high dps and we've got 1 semi-healer who can also dps. Having a chanter instead of a cleric will make things easier at the boss, but if you use the tactic we did, a chanter will be more than enough.

Don't get wiped!

If you watched the video, you'll see that we got 2 near wipes, but still managed to keep going. If everyone in the group had died, we were forced to start from the beginning of the Fire Temple instance. You might wonder how we managed to survive. Let me explain.

If it looks your group is going to get wiped, make sure someone in your group runs the boss off.  Get it as far away from the person that's going to do the ressurections as possible. This way you make sure the boss won't aggro anyone. While you run off the boss, make sure you're in a position to get ressurected easily. Whenever it looked like our group was going to get wiped, I took aggro of the boss and ran it towards the entrance of the cave.

Time for tactics

Killing this boss took us over 30 minutes and the main reason for this is the first two time we tried to kill this boss, we failed. And we failed because we thought we could kill this boss like the ones we killed before, by just tanking and spanking. The result? We almost got wiped twice.

So we had to use a little bit of tactics. Out chanter suggested that our tank should tank it from a distance, so that the Area of Effect (AoE) attacks didn't hit the people around the main tank. Because the boss uses a bow to attack, this tactic actually worked. Not only did his main AoE attack not damage the rest of the group, but the traps/mines the boss lays don't damage the main tank. So this is an ideal tactic for this boss. Once you get the hang of it, it'll go down smoothly.

Finally, items!

Here is a simple list of items which we've gotten from Corrupt Judge Kromede and items that others have gotten from Corrupt Judge Kromede.
Because the rewards from Corrupt Judge Kromede are so nice, the Fire Temple is a nice place to farm at level 30. But keep in mind, the orange items are bound on pickup, so be careful picking them up.
