In today’s Dev Diary (which we will have a review of up shortly) was released the Instance Join List that we will see in Free to Play. Those that are in bold type are the dungeons that have been revamped, while the rest are within the Instance Join List, but have yet to be converted to the new scaling model. Looking at the list, I’m pretty content with the number of instances that we’ll have on the new model and considering that I cannot solo my way through them it should provide plenty of time to gather marks and purchase the gear and cosmetics I want before I start yearning for some new dungeons. It will be interesting to see the progress that will be made on converting these dungeons over to the new system coupled with the release of new skirmishes.

“Dol Guldur – Dungeons 65 65 Fellowship ”
Eh? This has always been a 3 man fellowship run?
August 18, 2010 at 12:54 pm
ah, you’re right. It is a small fellowship. That was a misprint on their end. I’ll correct it
August 18, 2010 at 12:59 pm
This is a great reference. I would suggest adding two columns:
Common acronym
Radiance requirement
Add those and you could print this and keep it handy for those requests for fellowship. I can never remember what FG, GS, and the others are most of the time and I hate always asking. A chart like this would clear everything right up.
August 18, 2010 at 1:15 pm
That’s a great idea!
August 18, 2010 at 1:19 pm
What about a column that states whether or not you can earn radiance gear or not?
August 18, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Updated the table, any input is welcome.
August 18, 2010 at 1:18 pm
See,
It worries me how little the dev’s seem to know their own game.
I mean, they created a dagger with tactical critical rating, and put it in the hardest instance in the game as a good reward.
Which class can use a dagger with tactical critical?
None,
Mincers use Legendarys, Cappys use legendarys and Lore Masters can only use a Sword.
Am I missing something or are the dev’s seemingly a bit dumb when it comes to stats?
August 18, 2010 at 1:37 pm
I can’t wait to not have to ride to GS or SH anymore. It should make farming medallions a bit faster.
August 18, 2010 at 4:01 pm
your stated radiance requirements seem a bit odd, are you stating radiance from gear requirements or total radiance (e.g., with a token)?
For your gear radiance, I believe you only need a minimum of +60 (you might even get away with +50 now, can’t remember) to enter Vile Maw, +80 to enter DN, and +120 to enter BG.
August 18, 2010 at 4:22 pm
Point taken.
I’ll get it corrected and state “Total Radiance”, which yes can be negated by a +5 Hope Token.
August 18, 2010 at 4:37 pm
I changed my mind! I changed it to Radiance required from Gear since that’s what people will want to know and put a note stating that they’ll need a +5 Radiance Token.
August 18, 2010 at 4:48 pm
OMG thanks for the list, i have been searching the web trying to find a list of all the instances, with no luck…
August 19, 2010 at 3:24 am
Can you explain this max.level – does it mean, that I cannot run Hall of Crafting after reaching lev60 ?
August 19, 2010 at 8:01 am
Its a minimum level requirement Jan.
Of course you can run content you’ve paid for, you can even run it below level, but the level 60 is just a guide for roughly the level requirement of the run.
I’ve ran HoC at level 53 with a good kin group.
You can run it with a full group at 57 if you know what you’re doing.

Not all the instances scale in level yet (only the ones in bold in the listing will scale at launch) so 59 is just the recommended level for that dungeon and will operate exactly as it does currently. You won’t be barred access at 60. Eventually you’ll be able to scale the dungeon so at 60 you can do it with level 60 difficulty.
August 19, 2010 at 9:10 am
Correct, these are just recommended levels
September 1, 2010 at 4:52 pm
I thought the Helegrod and Annuminas instances now drop tokens that can be bartered for Radiance gear.
