Relic Raid strategy

So i was out in Sauvage, when me and my grp got a little to close to RK and pulled 2 purple named guards from there... We were running from them, and i thought they would loose agro once we zoned to pennine, but they kept chasing. They killed us halfway between GK and Ellys :(.
Well point of the story is, we were gonna meet up with Adrin and his grp to merge at GK, and when he arrived, i told him guards killed, us and he said "Yeah they are walking back.
The RK guards are WALKING back. So what im thinking is, 1 skald and 1 shaman stands on the base of RK, while 3 random ppl they are grouped with, runs up to RK and aggroes as much guards as possible, and the skald and shaman sprints off on speed 6 into pennine as far as they can get, and the guards who aggroed the members of their group should in theory all run after them, and when the skald and shaman gets killed by the guards hopefully a long way into pennine, it will take the guards a consederably long time to WALK back to RK.

Great idea. But my only question is, would the guards run back if the RK is still under attack? It seems they were walking back because you were not attacking anymore and/or were dead. May need a little more research, but if its true, would be great move.


Just a thought :)

Break the doors down before the guards get back?
Maybe if we use Brut's head.. :bigups:

the reason if this would work is that all we would have to do is send the sb over to get the third door.

could be in and out in under 5 min.
if this works we could set up a time to try it ont eh alb rks.
or

take down the doors at the hib power relics for protection of our relics

Yeah

Send over a SB to pull all the inner not named guards and kill them then send over a squad of SBs to set up 3 rams on inner door and to melee it down. Have all the mages killed by our mages/sbs before of course. This might work if we do it really fast.

Perhaps we copy over to pendragon to test our strategy out (without interference) before putting it into play on merlin and possibly failing?

Just a thought.
:stupid:

From pendragon patch notes:

RVR

Relic Keep Guard Changes

- There is a small change to how some guards will now handle relic raids. For every Relic Keep, the interior doors will now be guarded by named guards from the keep that is closest to the other Relic Keep in that realm. For example, the interior doors of Castle Excalibur are now being guarded by Hurbury Knights. These inner door guards have been given strict instructions to not leave the courtyard at any time, and they also cannot be damaged by players outside of the area they protect.

Seems like this strategy wont work anymore.
