The Third of the Shadow Shard TFs, Justin Augustine's TF is quite possibly the easiest of all TFs in the game, if you have the right team. With a full team of lvl 50s, or at least the majority of the team being 50s, this can be completed in under 4 hours, possibly under 3 hours.
Roughly 3/4 of this TF is just street hunting in specific areas of a zone, and deliveries to specific points in a zone. With level 50s, the street hunting goes very quickly. Mission breakdown goes as follows:
1. Battle Rularuu in Path of Tears
-> Defeat 50 Rularuu (Chantry)
2. Battle Rularuu on Bastion of Pain
-> Defeat 50 Rularuu (Chantry)
3. Visit monument of Pain
-> Go and click (Chantry)
4. Battle on Bastion of Denial
-> Defeat 50 Rularuu (Chantry)
5. Visit monument of Denial
-> Go and click (Chantry)
6. Battle on Bastion of Guilt
-> Defeat 50 Rularuu (Chantry)
By this time, you'll start to get into a rut. This basic idea is the whole deal with this TF. Go here, hunt, and then click on a glowie. A flyer/teleporter is probably not needed, but would be nice, to easily get the team around the zone. It would be wise if someone had at least part of the Chantry map uncovered, so you knew where each of these zone sectors are. And we continue on with the same old song:
7. Visit monument of Guilt
-> Go and click (Chantry)
8. Speak to Faathim
-> Go and talk (Chantry)
Only the team leader needs to go talk to Faathim, who is in the giant Death Star-like object in the middle of the Chantry. Also know that only one person needs to go and click on each of the monuments, so your fastest person would do this.
9. Defeat Rularuu in Path of Rage
-> Defeat 50 Rularuu (Chantry)
10. Meet with Dr. Boyd
-> Go and talk (Firebase Zulu)
If you have done some of the missions in FBZ, you will recognize this name; he can be one of the contacts in the zone. I believe your team leader needs to do this, but this is unconfirmed. Next several missions are in Firebase Zulu, but only your fastest person needs to go, these are just go and click type missions.
11. Record Monument at Echo (Firebase Zulu)
12. Record Monument at Sierra (Firebase Zulu)
13. Record Monument at Sierra (Firebase Zulu)
14. Record Monument at Sierra (Firebase Zulu)
15. Record Monument at Sierra (Firebase Zulu)
No, this isn't a typo. There are 4 different objects to go and click on in the Sierra area. This is why it is quick to just get your fastest person to do this. And each of these gives a mission-complete type experience, which can really rack up fast.
16. Record Monument at Tango (Firebase Zulu)
17. Record Monument at Tango (Firebase Zulu)
18. Record Monument at Tango (Firebase Zulu)
19. Record Monument at Tango (Firebase Zulu)
20. Return to Dr. Boyd (Firebase Zulu)
Once you've talked to Dr. Boyd, it's back to the Chantry.
21. Battle on Bastion of Shame
-> Defeat 50 Rularuu (Chantry)
22. Visit monument of Shame
-> Go and click (Chantry)
A pause here, when we started this TF, we had 7 level 50s and one level 49.5 hero. Running this TF at heroic difficulty, the level 49.5 hit 50 at the completion of this mission. This just proves how much XP can be gained quickly through this TF. Up next, our first door mission.
23. Defeat all "Interlopers"
-> Circle of Thorns (Cascades)
24. Battle on Bastion of Sorrow
-> Defeat 50 Rularuu (Chantry)
25. Visit monument of Sorrow
-> Go and click (Chantry)
26. Save innocents from harm
-> save last native! 3 natives (Chantry)
-> A rescue mission, 4 total natives, probably just easier to kill all.
27. Battle on Bastion of Regret
-> Defeat 50 Rularuu (Chantry)
28. Visit monument of Regret
-> Go and click (Chantry)
29. Speak to Faathim
-> Go and talk (Chantry)
30. Discover Circle plans
-> 10 natives, find clue
-> Circle of Thorns, probably easier to kill all.
31. Defeat Circle leaders
-> Find info (Talos Island)
-> Most likely random City zone. Defeat named boss and room, find glowie.
32. Defeat all Circle of Thorn in Chantry
-> Free Faathim the Kind
An anti-climatic ending, if ever there was one. There is no AV, just several easily defeatable mobs of CoT in Faathim's home. Faathim himself is in a block of ice, which must be destroyed. This should not present a problem.
Once this mission is complete, the badge is awarded. However, another "mission" pops up once everybody's out.
33. Speak with Faathim
-> Go and talk (Chantry)
Mission 33 awards no experience. It’s merely a plot filler. Either at this point, or when you call the contact, the team will disband.
My team completed this TF in 2.5 hrs. This is a very quick TF if you've got a bunch of 50s to help with the street hunts, very manageable.
