Deadfront-to help inform those who dont know

I have been playing this game since 2moons of 2007 so I have seen every kind of strategy at deadfront. I have thought several times to make a post on this and for anyone else to add in details that I may forget to help the community of those who go to deadfront.

Now I am only speaking for those who are in the higher lvl range to be able to accomplish this, because I very well understand when your a low lvl you need more strength to get the job done in good timing.

Im not pointing fingers, just simply want to put out there this is the best way to go about deadfront for more exp and saves time plus info ingeneral.

It is good to get the 3 depots where the first waves of mobs are. Either someone who is able to run to them while the party is killing each wave of mobs or someone who is fast (though there is speed buffs now), to run back during the killing of first boss. Some will say the depots are only good for if there will be a pvp or another party, but it does give more exp if you do them.

Treasure: (I have never agreed with this, even back on acclaim days when dil was rare to find), I have had a couple in my party since I returned and it just shocks me, because of all the drops you find now, is probably about the same or maybe a bit more you would find at deadfront treasure), Exp is way easier to obtain now but in deadfront seems much more important to grab then treasure). (thankfully though, most do not do anymore, since it was a big argument back in the day if someone were to, for many reasons, thinking back I believe it was because not many were as strong then as they are now, and needed more strength to kill off mobs against another party).

Magis/pulling lever trick: I am aware not many new players know this trick or old players may remember, but this is the biggy, the most important to be a team at deadfront. This is why I wanted to make the post. The whole party should go together, starting from the first lane, working to the 2nd, over across to the first lane and over, able to just go right to inner area where final mobs/boss will be. It saves time, and most importantly you get more EXP, if all take the lever, but last pulls=more MOBS. Many will say "pull them to the middle, saves time", sure it does but you get less exp and it really doesn't save time, because then the others who went together, cant figure out which ones the randoms ran to, to the point everyone is running around and then wasting more time. Are we not going to deadfront for exp, or even more exp? I cant count how many times Me and others have explained this to the party from the beginning and they still prefer to run off. I believe this all started when over the years when being a solo party at deadfront was the "new" things, and yes then, you didn't have as much power to kill as quickly and ran out of time many times, but when your in a 176+ party (who are more OP now) can defeat in perfect timing together. I just think if everyone understood this strategy works well and deadfront can end much quicker.

(TIP: if you end up in a party with those who run off, make sure you kill mobs first before pulling the lever, because you can be locked out, very important!)


I hope I did not forget anything and explained this properly. if anyone remembers something I forgot, please post to help this progress. thank you.

    I forgot to mention, the above information is for "Chain of Fire" deadfront. Ice deadfront is pretty basic. if your against another party and trying to rush to the middle, just make a plan before you start.  


    (also I apologize everything looks run together, but it wouldn't let me edit it after)

    @Alii031 Just a question / clarification regarding the 3 (or 4?) levers before the first boss.  What I've done in the past (up to lvl 170) is team up with one other. The one player distract the mobs guarding the lever while the other "reads" (pulls) the lever.  Of course, a Summoner or Concerra can use their Pets to distract.  This way, if your playing full party, you can do all levers at once and save time for the end boss.  

    Is this what you meant?  Or were you using "full party" at each lever to increase subsequent mobs?  And if so, does this not affect your time to kill the last boss??

    @PappyPlay, yes that is one of the plans back in the day when there was not enough strength to kill boss in time but when you are in a 176+ party who are probably either mostly +9 +10 I don't think its a big problem now. If you all go together, 7 click the lever, last pulls, you get even more mobs, then just 2 mobs that would come from 2 going to each lever together. Yes, correct though, full party go together, you definitely have plenty of time. @PappyPlay what lvl are you, by the way? if you are core deadfront, when they fix the server and your able to come on we should go together and I will show you ^^
