Getting to 60 I have ignored the messages for group runs as I was not able to contribute, but now I want to get involved with some of these and really have no clue… hoping for some good directions!!
myrk? I am guessing shattered mts? Myrkgard Cathedral? Do groups start in the central shrine?
Siren? I am guessing Reekwater but cannot find on map.
Seems like there are alot others but drawing a blank. Any help is appreciated!
You’re referring to the zerg runs. Commonly know as the “World Tour” (WT). The point of this is to group with a large amount of players running the end game zones looting the available elite chest to increase your expertise (used to be water mark).
On my server we start at Pools in Reekwater, then south to Siren area in reek, most player keep there inn at shattered mountain (west side), run through mines, then north to myrk, after onto Eden Grove to do malevolence, last to Ebanscale to the Palace.
This is all in the open world, you just run around looting chest. Beware it’s a mess and an agro game. Players will try and drop agro often to fend for themselves and loot chest or survive. Often you can jump onto terrain to drop agro and save yourself.
Thanks for clearing that up, as a level 47 I was pretty confused what people were talking about.
Global chest looting is a rather new concept.
I am glad someone asked, I was just guessing when I started doing those runs lol @Goyle gave alot of great information! Thanks man! Yay for the NW community! 
Don’t be afraid to ask on the “help” chat. At least on my server people answer all of them
…I can assume when they are forming groups “x for mines” they mean to kill their way to the chests though right?
Yeah, zergs usually don’t Skip enemies.
No problem. I was just as confused. It will take a few runs before you get the hang of the routine. I’ve missed many chest learning how to coexist with the zerg. Often it’s better to keep pace with the zerg even if you have to give up a small chest in efforts for an elite chest. Try not to fall behind playing catch-up can be frustrating.
Honestly the zerg runs are lame but efficient for elite chests. Your much more likely to get a drop off an elite mob in a small group of 5-10 players.
Honestly depends on the zerg and/or where you are in the zerg. I try to stay in the front and I’ll wait for more if needed. Typically you want to kill everything because the elite/bosses have a chance to drop loot. It’s just difficult for your group of 5 (always try in be in a full group) to do enough damage to get the drop chance.
However I’ve been in many zergs that ignore mobs.
As for “x” for mines. - Simply mean type “x” in chat for an invite.
I’ve also encountered where “x” is to join flagged PvP, and “y” for unflagged or vise versa
Example: WT starting in 15m pools, siren, mines, myrk, malevolence, palace, “x” for flagged if you want heals, “y” for unflagged
