Neverwinter

UPDATE: 1-12-18 I just unlocked this on a second character, it was glitched on my first character because I unlocked it too soon after release before my xbox console had populated the achievement list with the new achievements. Doing the skirmish on GOLD(silver doesn't count, I had a silver, then a gold finish) triggered the glitched achievement for me!


This is the new Skirmish, and is rather fun. It can be completed with a good group in less than 5 minutes, in fact, you need less than 5 minutes for gold score normally. You have a 15 minute timer, but you want to finish with more than 10 minutes left.

I was able to queue in with my DC very quickly and completed about 6-7 runs in a row, all gold runs, and I was the highest item level in the group with my 15.5k DC so DPS doesn't need to be very high it appears.

It's very important to have a strong DPS/tank watch the door after the first phase of defending the courtyard, so that everyone else can rouse the guards and take care of the weapons quickly. Only have one person watch the door if possible though so that 4 others can split the weapons and guards to get it down as fast as possible. Have 2 people rouse 4 guards each, and 2 others do the weapons quickly.

The next phase, defending the outer courtyard is a bit messy, but something important to remember is that you can still pick up and drop off the repair materials even when you have aggro! It still works fortunately. Once again here, have a strong tank/dps engage the enemies, and everyone else run the materials to the barricades.

Once you've rebuilt the barricades, run up to the engineer ASAP and talk to him so he will start moving. Depending on the direction you go, you may have to face a TREX. Have the whole group work on him if possible.

Beware a major group of wraiths that sometimes happens after doing the barricades! I had one almost complete squad wipe happen as a group of 5+ wraiths caused havoc temporarily.

Knock out the enemies in the path quickly, escort the engineer, then take out the last group at the last gate and you're done!

NOTE: If you want to open the special chest, you can use Legendary Keys as usual, or the Chultan Keys. However, if you have Chultan Keys, you need to make sure you don't have the Leg Keys in your inventory otherwise they will be used BEFORE Chultan Keys!

Also! If you do not leave the instance between runs and you opened the special chest at the end, it will be inaccessible until you leave the instance between runs.
