Coruscating Mine  

My first experience down here was with a full group between levels 10-13.
We killed just about everything in the dungeon but in the end the murkmen got us so be careful of those guys when you go in a couple of levels.

If you are in the low to mid 30s and seeking nice scale there was some nice 80+ AF scale dropping off the mermen near the pond by the entrance to Treibh Caille when I went there recently for tunic and legs saving them for my lowbie Druid I guess.

Seemed less than common only got two pieces after killing him about 20+ times and he is a slow spawn so I whack him everytime I enter or exit the Triebh caves pretty much to see what else he might drop.

Hi all, I came across this "mine", W and a little N of the watch tower between Howth and Ardagh. It had RockWorms and some sort of Sheerie or walking rock. Also a little further in it had some mobs of the spraggon family. I couldn't go in that far because I was just a lowbie on my own. Just curious because I haven'y seen it mentioned.

The entrence to the mines are near the parth farm behind mag mell... geez...

Well, this dungeon IS itemized now, and my vault is full of stuff I can't use. The most common drops consist of: Leather armor, caster weapons, misc. jewelry for NS and casters, and caster staves.

The rarer stuff (and this may depend on where you hunt and how long you stay): Reinforced armor (af 88, one set has charisma, good for 40ish bards), scale armor (haven't seen it yet), LARGE weapons, small/medium/large shields, two sets of bard instruments (still don't add stats), at least two blunt weapons (dps around 15 spd around 5 for both, stats/level differ slightly), blades weapons (haven't seen any yet), a Short Recurve bow with something like 14 dps 2.5 spd.

The cash sucks now that it's itemized, never got more than 30 silver on a split.

Weeweres, some of the "golem" types, and a couple other things are on the rare loot table. There's a named critter down there somewhere that didn't drop anything the 4 times we killed it.

The dungeon is a mishmash of other dungeons, the last camp we went to was exactly like Spraggon Den. Haven't found a map yet, you don't really need one, since almost everything in the dungeon is worth camping. You won't be getting any camp bonuses in here for a few weeks, as the popular spawns are rarely left alone.

You need a bard in most spots, there are a few BAF mobs (which you won't pull except to get past them going in or out of Mines), there are QUITE a few roaming monsters that aggro randomly (I've heard 10%), then you get about 4 adds. This is also why a warden is good, so the bard has time to get those mezzes off. With three tanks in the group anybody can pull, and when you're out of arrows anybody WILL pull.

DO NOT fall off the ramp. If you don't die from the falling damage, you'll die from the aggro at the bottom unless you're lucky and land at a certain spot (usually a group there) with 10hp left. You'll get a rezz if anybody's in the area. You might also get a group at the same time.

Well, that's all the info I could think of.. hope it helps some of you.

Sprag den between Howth and Ardagh behind the tower is not this dungeon.

Koalinth Caverns - in the Cliffs of Moher by the wraiths (not itemized btw) is not it.

Muire - on top of the hill to the left of Ardee (begineers dungeon) is not it.

Treibh - in the Bogg which is reached from a horse from howth and Connla to Innis is not it.

This dungeon is not close to Ardagh or howth as morgann stated that is the spraggon den, the mine is close to the parth farm near Mag Mell, from the parth farm you go NW until you find the Siabara town where the fury's and pillars spawn. Then when you are looking into the village to your left on the hill you will see the entrance to the mines. Its up on a flat spot so you'll have to run up the hill to locate it but it's really not that far a run from Mag mell or Tir na Nog if you're in that area. Happy hunting and good luck.

Found this yesterday zone was not itemized only got coin loots off the mobs that we killed. Xp on the otherhand was very good we went in w/ 5 people lvl 23-27 just cleared entrance room for a couple of hours.

Well let me see why they posted it.. Cause they want information from other on it as well.. The description is not their own it is something Mytic (i would guess) have given them on the dungeon. If you look towards stratics its the same txt.

I went down there today with a pre-organized group of 8, all around 10 or 11 (and in my own defence, they said "we're going to a dungeon, want to come?"). We tried to pull a rot worm and two came, then before you could say "93 damage", 5-6 group members died and the others zoned. This may be one of the easier to find dungeons, but don't let it fool you. Just move along and find the tomb if you want any low-level dungeon crawling.
