Ok, so we were a tad over-leveled, but heading into AQ40 with 4 people was interesting. The point in doing so was to collect some additional mounts while working on the World of Warcraft 50 mount achievement. While it really isnt possible to get past the first boss with only 4 people due to the fact that during the encounter 3 people will get mind-controlled, the trash leading up to the boss respawns fairly quickly and can easily be killed with 2 or more level 80 players. We farmed up several of the AQ40 specific mounts in very little time.

Heres a screen shot that one of us took on some of our shiny new AQ40 bug mounts. Its too bad you cant use them outside of the instance, they actually make pretty cool mounts.




Our party make up consisted of 2 resto druids, a hunter and my warrior tank. There wasnt a whole lot of healing required, so the druids just filled in, , and spent most of the time casting damage spells. We made a few attempts at the first boss but failed each time when the boss would spawn 2 clones of him self and mind-control 3 of our 4 party members. We had more than enough damage and healing to take the boss down - but once 3 of us were forced to turn on the 4th, it didnt go so well.

I later went back with my warrior and a friends resto druid. Killing 40 man monsters with 2 people is a little slow, but can easily be accomplished at our level. If you were the appropriate class and geared properly, the AQ40 trash could pretty easily be solod.

After we had our fun collecting the AQ40 mounts, we headed over to AQ20 and easily cleared the instance to get the achievement with just the 4 of us. Took us less than 1/2 an hour to clear an instance that I remember spending multiple raid nights working on with a group of 20. Big fun
