Just wondering if there will be a free gauntlet event in the near future? If there isnt plans for one in the works, maybe a few players can get together and farm a skull today.

its not really a big deal on getting the skull. It would be more fun as a group to get it in 20 mins as long as we worked together. Maybe the powers that be could grant us free access to gaunt sometime this week, that would be fun.

Its not that tough if you have the right character in there. And it takes a bit to get used to it. But after you learn how to kill the monsters, it is actually quite boring. It is a lot more fun with some other people around, trust me.

try the jackals, but keep a ru or CuHidse in your stable in case you prefer something else. Chiv archers work good until you get blood oathed. Personally I use a chiv/disco/tamer and a necro/tamer with grim strike for my gauntlet runs.

Red sometimes hosts free gauntlet trips but you should always learn how to get there yourself as free rides aren't always available.

The skull is not too hard to get. Getting the 1000 daemon bones is real easy, even for players with little fighting ability (If you can kill a greater mongbat, you can kill a restless soul for bones). You don't have to go for the harder monsters such as the bone dragon, but it's usually faster to kill the hard stuff to get more bones. Getting a few people to help collect bones will take less time. You can also just farm them yourself a little at a time or in one go.

The bone daemon you kill to get a gold skull isn't all that difficult. The only real hard part about it is it has good resistances so it may take awhile to kill. It can also punch pretty hard. A devourer of souls actually has more magic launching capabilities than the bone daemon so you don't have to worry about that for the most part. Demon slayer can help kill it quicker.

If you can kill the champions in the gauntlet, you can kill the bone daemon to get the skull.
