I’m very close to my second old man visit, and have begun to think about the exit quest. What I’m trying to figure out is just what kind of group will I need to take out Mellichae. I belong to a very small PA, and at any given time there are only 2 or 3 of us on. When I get the WP, does he actually spawn, or do I have to get near the WP, and then he spawns? The reason I ask is if he does not spawn when the old man comes, and has to be triggered, I can take a bit to get peeps logged on. As it stands I’m Master Doc/4,4,4,0 sword. I can count on my son, 0444 BH, with choice Commando, Smuggler, and medic skills; Master Ranger/Master Rifleman with some CM, Master; Master CM/Master Pistoleer; Master Pistoleer/Master Doc; and (I hope) Master TKA/Master Sword, with some Medic. Beyond those avatars I can’t count on anyone, will that be enough?

If the spawn is triggered be me reading a disc, or going to a WP it gives me time to get something together, if not I could be working with myself, the BH, and maybe 1-2 others. Any input would be great.

I'm not exactly sure abuot the spawning. I just did my exit quest last week. I drove to the wp the old man gave me. I stopped about 100m from it when i saw the camp come up on the screen. I then proceeded to call some of my guild and non-guild friends. We ended up with about 8 people. We had ranged and melee profs, one doc, on CM, and one Jedi Knight. The whole fight took less th an 5min. It was a cake walk.

So given that, would I be right then in understanding that the Old Man gives you a WP, then you have some time to get to it? If that's true, and you're on Dantooine for example, you should be able to drop in on the MO and simply ask several people who are there to join you. There are usually a number of elite prof's hanging around looking for XP grind solo groups or just running missions. Could probably pick up a rifleman or two (which I hear are very good to have) a CM and a couple of melee tanks.

I for one would love to join in someone's exit quest so I'd have an idea of what will happen when I get to mine.

Yep, you have plenty of time. You can even leave the planet to get buffed, buy equipment or whatever. When you come back and get within range the camp will spawn.

Even if you fail the mission the camp will respawn when you return; of course everything will reset to the start of the mission. This can happen even during the fight if you travel too far; so if you run, run in circles until you lose the aggro otherwise you might accidently reset the quest. I speak from experience on that one, it sucked taking down the crystals twice! lol.

As for a group; I am a TKM and Doc and I grouped with a Master Combat medic and the two of us took it down. It was a slower go but tons of fun. I was in the same boat trying to get a group together. A combat medic rules against that quest. He would slowly poison the thugs a couple at a time. When they would charge down the hill to get him I was waiting. Once the thugs and other baddies were taken care of he pulled Mellichae and his cohort away from the camp and I took out the crystals.

Once the crystals were down we let the poison do the work on Mell and I finished him off once he was nice and weak.

Good luck.

That's a great idea - poisoning Mell and his thugs. Hadn't ever thought of that. I'm a TKM/Doc as well and so that may be a lot of fun. Glad to get confirmed that you don't have to rush right into it and you can take a bit to prepare.

Thanks for the great responses, I'm starting to come up with several plans for the fight. If anyone is on Bloodfin and wants to help, let me know. I expect this fight within a week.

Kovev I would be happy to help. I'm on Bloodfin so just send a Tell to CroArmen.
After all the help I received when trying to do this fight I figure I have to pay some back.

I should be online Wednesday and Thursday but after that not for a while; I think my wife might want me to pay attention to her during Christmas lol.

When I did Mellichae I was a TKM/Fencer/some medic, me and a combat medic was all it took to finish the quest. I had the camp cleared crystals and all except for Mellichae by the time my CM friend showed up to help with Mellichae. Then it was just a matter of letting the poison work on Melliche and then going in for the kill. The trick was run into the camp and get Mellichea aggro'd on you then drag him about 100-120m from the camp and then dash back towards the camp getting enough distance between you and Mellichea to break aggro. Then you can take out the camp without having to worry about him till you kill the last crystal. When you destroy the last crystal Mellichea will come running back to the camp. Then CM poisons him and then just run around out of his attack range and let poison do it's thing till you can kill him with one hit. Be forwarned if Mellichea hits you he does 1500-2000 points of damage so be sure to stay at least 40m away from him so he can't hit you.
