With the addition of the Ancient MIB Instanced dungeon system we have given our players a new and unique challenge. To Learn about the ancient MIB's click here. The Ironman Award Players who manage to solo these new events can earn a special trophy by defeating each instance with only 1 character. The Challenge Use only one character to defeat each instance. Loot all gold, platinum and ancient chests from the boss chests in each event. Use less than 2 control slots for the duration of the event. (1 Nightmare, Limited Blade Spirits, 1 Ethereal, etc) Note: Defeating the bosses is optional, however you must successfully loot each one of their chests. Note: To Qualify for the Ironman challenge, do not summon any magical support until 3 minutes has passed. Tips Somehow manage the monsters in each instance, using strategic combat, summons, a nightmare or stealth. Find a way to loot the guarded chests Either by defeating the bosses and taking their keys Stealing their keys Lockpicking the chests Once the chests are unlocked the traps will need to be removed. Make sure to loot the required items from each chest for the ironman attempt to count. Removing items from the chests will not cause additional spawn, but be quick, the monsters do respawn. Once complete you must successfully make your way to the exit.

Anyone that has done this with a mare have any tips? I tried the red AMIB earlier this morning and ... my mare fought the bartender for nearly 20 minutes alone. That was with a successful Discord, a couple successful provocations onto the lesser pirates, and with me tossing in E-bolts. Then the Dread Pirate strayed off of his boat and aggro'd me while I was in the pub and it was pretty much a disaster after that point, heh. But either way I don't think I would have been anywhere close to the 45 minute time limit. Did I just have a gimp mare? Was it taking that long for other people?
I don't think tames alone will get the job done. From my experience, the monsters seem to take much more damage from dexxers than they do from tames. Thus, if you manage to make a Dexxer tamer, you might have a shot (<- pro tip, and actual template of one of the 2 people who have done it).
I completed the red amib this morning. Looted all the gold from the chests, got the plat from the chest on the ship and got the ancient treasure chest. Stealthed out with time to spare and I didn't get a trophy. I Didn't summon anything during the event either. How do I get my trophy?
I searched through every item in the Bartender's chest and there was no plat. I've Done several red ones before and never found plat in the bartender's chest, only the captain's chest.
The Bartenders chest in the RED AMIB does not contain a platinum coin. (It is a level 4 chest). The Pirate Captains chest is a level 5 and will always have at least one platinum. The bartender and the pirate captain both drop 1 platinum each. Also (and this has caused a variety of ironman failures) the level 5 chests have a 20% chance of dropping a bonus platinum coin. So make sure you check the chests completely. You must remove all of the platinum, gold and rares from the chests to be considered for a valid ironman run.
Oh sh......, don't tell me there was a rare in the chest and you didn't take it!?!?! (and I'm not talking about the ore colored chest)
What is the best template for doing these solo? Someone mentioned a dexxer/tamer, has anyone done it with a provo/tamer?
In my opinion, the quickest template to macro up that is capable of doing it, is a stealth lock picker.
I've tried it once with a provo/tamer with disco on top of it. My Mare was only partly trained, but it wasn't doing near enough damage to meet the time limit. I haven't personally done it, but stealth lock picker does sound like the easiest route. AFAIK, the only monsters that reveal are the ghosts, and they aren't even in the red & blue instances. The most difficult instance for these guys would probably be the purple AMIB, where the ghosts are a long run from the rez shrine. Mostly unrelated question: How do you get that awesome 'Pirate Ironman Champion' red-hued eagle trophy displayed in that first photo?
Just completed all 4 amibs, and received the trophy for each after completion. Is the ironman trophy suppose to spawn by itself like the others or does an admin have to give me the trophy in person?
