Important Note: This information was compiled and originally hosted by the creators of the Vision of Sages (VoS) Website. Due to the age of Trials of Atlantis, and the fact that the most recent post on the VoS web forums is nearly 3 years old, we are reprinting the Trials of Atlantis information from their website so that it does not become lost - like the artifacts they have done such an excellent job leading us to for the past several years.

Level 6 Mesmeration feedback, Level 10 Stun feedback. These spells when activated block a single mes or stun effect from affecting you. Only from casted spells. They are 10 min duration, 15 min reuse. And appear to be on same timer.

The "buff" works as a "bladeturn" to forms of single target mezz and ae mezz. Similarly, the same effect with stun and ae stun. There is no immunity timer. The stun does not work on Shield slams, weapon style stuns, only casted stuns. When casting the buff, you are immediately in combat (which you can lose speed buffs for 10 secs). Took approximately 1 million realm points to level. It could be done in less time/realm points but I didn't spend the majority of my rvr time in Hibernia/Emain. Feb 3

Leveling this Artifact:

Strategy:

Actually, there are mobs in all 3 faction regions that drop the bracer. If you don't see the mob up, you need to look for the rising column of coloured bubbles. At the Dreadnought they look bright blue. Swim through the column of bubbles and the mob should pop if the encounter is up. Apr 2 2004

Skyros: Dreadnought   14k 18k
Melos: Melos Wave Master (or Tidal Lord)   30k 45k
Naxos: Naxos Tidal Lord (or Wave Master)   53k 21k

None of them bring adds and are pure melee encounters. Dec 6 - Jazz

The melos mob for ceremonial bracers has a very short respawn from about 5 minutes to 15 minutes and is pure melee. He will rarely do a double swing. The only problem with him is that he will jump to the cleric if not enough protects are on him, so you will need multiple protects on one cleric or multiple clerics with protects on most if not all of them.
He is easy to kill with a shield tank, a 2 handed tank, and two clerics. The clerics sit by the font of power casting heals with protect on each cleric. Use the small heals and you will do fine, just takes about 10-15 minutes to kill depending on how much dmg you hit him for.
The drop rate is about 1/5 or so, but like all toa things, you could be lucky on the first try or have to farm him for 100 kills and still never get it.
The melos mob also drops remains each time and a few rogs, some good some not so good. Sep 18 2004

Tips:

Me and my brother Focus Pulled this encounter with: me, (50 mana chanter) him, (50 mana ment) and a 48 druid buffbot. Just FP and its really easy, keep light on heals at beginning till the mob, (did it to all 3, Tidal Lord, Wavemaster, and Dreadnaught) gets good aggro on pet. Once chanter runs out of power use powerpots and sit till u can regain all ur power, just keep pet HoT'd alot and reg heal with bot when needed. Fight took about 20 mins, but only got 1 bracer out of 6 times we tried. The Dreadnaught is by far the easiest, but all would be easy eith FoP. BTW all the trophies look the same for 3 dif mobs, just the tails, none of the cool heads. May 7 2004

Skyros dreadnought is by far the easiest 1fg heavy on healing classes
Melos Wave Master is Tuff 1fg with Crystak titan
Naxos Tidal lord/Wave Master owned up twice with the Crystal Titan. He would one shot our healers. Makes sure when you get rezed you move away from the healer that rezed you.
Also so far we have killed Skyros 6 times and no drop and Melos once and no drop. Apr 29 2004

We did it with 6 people today, pretty simple too.2 Warriors, 1 Zerker, 2 Buffbot Shammies, 1 Aug Healer.We camped at the Melos location (30k 45k) and set up power ward + heal ward. Had the main shield warrior guard the other warrior, who was using a 5.8 spd 2h sword. The 2h warrior just spammed Draw Out (taunt) while the seers were spamming small heals. Every now and then seers would get aggro but it really wasnt anything. With red celerity the warrior got aggro back in no time. The Melos spawn was very fast, repop was about 5 minutes, sometimes less. Killed this mob about 6 times and he finally dropped it and we called it a night.- Zetla

The combined scrolls read:
##The Arbiter's Personal Papers reads, "The bracers meant for the bi-yearly celebration of the Planes creation have arrived today. I am unsure what to do with them. There are ten in all. One will be presented to each of the ten kings of Atlantis. It is a great event, and I have the honor of presiding at the celebration, and it is quite a celebration, from the arrangements and details going into it."

##The Arbiter's Personal Papers reads, "I am unsure what to do with my foolish apprentice. The affront to the kings, to me, to the ceremony! The mockery! I should hang him from his heels outside the Hall as a warning to any other who would be so foolish as to play such a joke! That boy has taken all the bracers and affixed them to the statues themselves! "

##The Arbiter's Personal Papers reads, "Now, I have ten bracers made specially for the ten kings by the greatest magicians and craftsmen of Atlantis, and now, they are on the wrists of statues in the Planes, and we can't remove them! "

##The Arbiter's Personal Papers reads, "I believe I have found a way to remove the bracers from the statues. Well, I have found someone who can aid me. I've also made sure that foolish apprentice is regretting his antic. There is a master sculptor visiting the Hall of Heroes and he has kindly agreed to aid me. He will remove the bracers and repair the inevitable damage to the statues after. "

##The Arbiter's Personal Papers reads, "It is no easy task, and I will owe him a great deal after, but I have no other real choice. He is going to remove them in the morning. My apprentice is to help him in this task. In all my years, nothing like this has ever happened, and I've ensured that my apprentice will never give me such concerns again!"
