The Tomb Of Lord Tsang

Editor's Notes

The Tomb of Lord Tsang is a stop every player should make at least once. It's really a great dungeon packed full of great mob placement, layout, atmosphere, and of course the sweet heroic weapon quests. This place really has it all.

The first thing you experience with the Tomb of Lord Tsang is a key quest, remenicent of the old EQ dungeon keys of yester-year. Oh man I remember many nights spent in EQ getting keys for my favorite dungeons. It felt like a special accomplishment to gain access to those cool places, and Tomb of Lord Tsang is no different. While getting the key for this dungeon takes forever, and really isn't a lot of fun (just kill quest after kill quest), holding the key and usually being the only person in the group with a key is just really cool. The key just feels special.

Once inside, the layout of the place is pretty amazing. It's a big maze, and the direction you take makes a difference, as each area of the dungeon is dedicated to a particular weapon and in some cases theme. The lighting is great, and the rooms are pretty amazing looking. They do start to all look simliar though, but even so they're just cool.

The itemization could use a good amount of work, along with the number of named mobs here, but the insane weapon quests and the loot that drops at the end of each weapon quest as you kill the generals pretty much makes up for it. This dungeon is more of a crawler than a camper, so the lack of drops doesn't hurt it too much.

The quests and lore of the place is pretty nice, and it really feels like the dungeon fits well into the chunk. Almost everything in the chunk seems to revolve around the dungeon, instead of the dungeon just being thrown in with seemingly little to no connection with its surroundings.

Probably the only thing I would change is how often the moon and shadow symbols drop. The symbols are needed to start the weapon quests, and everyone seems to get stuck on moon and/or shadow. With a full group, it can take hours and hours just to get everyone their moon and shadow symbol. They're the rarest of the symbols, but seem to be needed for every weapon quest.

You should really make it a point to take a low level character through the Tomb. It's not something to be missed. It's one of the best low level dungeons in the game, in my opinion. I've already ran it three times as of writing this review.

Lore

Lord Tsang was one of the most powerful users of Jin to ever have lived. During his time, the Jin Masters were very powerful indeed, and understood Jin like none of this day.

When Lord Tsang died, a tomb was erected in his honor, in which Lord Tsang was laid to rest. Many weapons of his generals were also put on display there as well.

Recently adventurers have need to learn more about the ancient powers of Jin lost when the Masters such as Lord Tsang passed from Telon. The Ulvari must be defeated, but before this can happen, adventurers must better learn how to use Jin. The Tomb holds many secrets of Jin, but it will not be an easy task to learn these secrets and leave the Tomb alive, much less get into the Tomb in the first place.

How to Enter the Tomb

If you decide to take the key quest route for entry, first obtain the key. Next use the entrance route map in the maps section to get to the entrance gate to the crystal. Only one person in the group needs the key. That person will right click the bars to open them for everyone. After this, each group member must right click the crystal to be teleported down to the Tomb.

For the alternate way to enter the Tomb (which does not require the key), see the general spoiler section.
