[edit] General Information
Home to Fennin Ro, the Tyrant of Fire, Doomfire, the Burning Lands (commonly referred to as the Plane of Fire) is one of the four elemental planes introduced with the Planes of Power expansion. The entrance to the zone is guarded by two dragons floating near the fiery sphere entrance.
[edit] Gaining Access
To gain access to this zone, a player needs to have all the flags necessary to enter the Tower of Solusek Ro, flags from killing the five mini-bosses of the tower, and a flag from killing Solusek Ro himself. Finally, a player must zone into the Plane of Fire via the trap door in the front of Solusek Ro's chamber. After completing the flagging process and zoning in from the tower, access can be achieve simply by clicking the fire sphere in the Plane of Tranquility
Alternatively, players be pushed into the zone and, if present for a raid killing Fennin Ro, they can loot a bagflag to gain full entry to this and only this zone; bagflags for the other elemental planes must be looted from their respective gods.
[edit] Features
Doomfire is a hot, arid zone with basalt castles and charred trees with perpetually burning branches. There is a high wall in separating the main zone from the entrance area, with no entrance. One must either float over the wall or swim through a dangerous, Mephit-controlled lava tunnel to gain access to the other part of the zone.
[edit] Camp Areas / Zone Slang
Field 1: The area that players find themselves in upon zoning into Doomfire. This area ends at the first castle.
Castle 1: The area immediately behind the first wall. This castle is home to soldiers, djinni, and General Druav Flamesinger.
Field 2: This area begins where the two guardian phoenixes (Jaxoliz Dawneyes Criare Sunmane) are and continues until the next castle area. This is a large field with many roaming enemies, as well as raid targets. The mini bosses located here include Babnoxis the Spider Queen, Magmaton, Blazzax the Omnifiend, Quavonis Firetail, and Pyronis.
Castle 2: A slightly larger castle in comparison to Castle 1, this castle is home to many Doomfire soldiers. This once was a popular area to kite enemies, as they do not summon and offered good experience. General Reparm and Arch Mage Yozanni are both located at the top of this castle.
Tables: A part of Castle 2, but worthy of being mentioned separately. This small rectangular area has a picnic table in the center (hence the name). This was the most popular kiting area, both for solo players and for groups, as each enemy could be pulled solo and kited around the table. Kiters had to be careful here because if the Guardian of Doomfire was spawned, he could make short work of a kiter or group of kiters, and could summon.
Bridge: Behind the Guardian of Doomfire lies the bridge to the throne of Fennin Ro. Killing the guardian starts the long script that ultimately leads to the Fennin Ro encounter.
