WoT: 3.2 Instance

This post is just a part of the series posts about War of Throne's Beginners Guide By Sanctus of voomga.com.

3.2 Instance

Currently there are 15 instances different kind of instances in the game. Instances till Field of throne is current unlocked (Lv60 instance).
Shadow city and zolaris instance are locked due to level restriction of level 65 and 99.

By level 15, you should have reached your very first instance rockshore by following the main quest.
Mobbing at instances gives the best amount experience points and drops green and blue items frequently based on the difficulty level.

Trying a harder difficulty maybe rewarding but the HP and damage of the mobs scales up significantly, the number of active mob in the battle is increased and definitely more experience points!

This is also the best place for you to make use of your study guides as the experience is the best, stack the 100%, 50%, 20% for the quickest experience gaining speed.

Difficulty
Normal: No SP needed. Low green/blue item drop rate. NO token, sublimation stones.
Heroic: 15 SP consumed. Average green/blue item drop rate, tokens and sublimation stones.
Legendary: 30 SP consumed. Best green/blue item drop rate, tokens and sublimation stones.

Most players must be thinking right now, normal difficulty don't drops sublimation stones!
I too once believed in that till I got surprising sublimation stone drop in kirin island instance on normal difficulty.
Maybe the rate of dropping is just that low that it seems impossible to get.

Pros and cons comparison

Experience
Most people would tell you legendary difficulty would give you the best experience points but most of them forget the additional time actually taken is greatly increased. For sure the experience is improved but so is the time taken!
Go for legendary if you are focusing more on getting items and tokens instead of experience and go for normal runs for the best experience to time ratio.

Best experience: Normal

ItemsThis is pretty obvious without any secrets to be revealed, harder the difficulty better the drops!
Green and blue items drop frequently on heroic and legendary difficulty and this is where you get all your gear from.

Note that tokens only drop on heroic and legendary after killing the final boss.
It has been observed that blue weapons usually only drop on heroic or legendary difficulty.

Best items: Legendary

Tips for instances
When levelling, always try to get a full party for the additional 20% bonus exp, on normal difficulty and with study guides on for the best gains.

Do not leave/exit the party at the end of the final boss if there's a item drop. Doing so means you lost your chance to get the item even if you chose required!

Try your best not to AFK during instances as this drags down the party while waiting for you to take the item or enter the next map.

Try your best not to leave halfway in an instance, if necessary try to tell the party leader before starting an instance.
