We briefly visited The Silent City last week, and – although I didn’t personally enjoy it that much – we decided to give it another crack tonight. As it happened, a quick look on EQ2i before I logged in revealed that there were a couple of quests there which we’d all benefit from later on during The Peacock Club, so I was instantly a lot more interested this time around. 
Florence couldn’t make it this evening, and Wodi didn’t turn up, but Note had found a quest near the entrance, so Leader, Jez, Nobbi and Note had fun quickly running between the switch…
…and the chest it opened.
If only Nobbi had actually managed to get the chest to open, but after several attempts it still wasn’t happening for him (too low a level at 55?).
Nevertheless, we pressed on and killed the Enigma of Ice very quickly to allow us to climb the fire wall; and then farmed placeholders for what seemed like ages before we finally got lucky the Enigma of Fire popped. It was, naturally, easily dispatched by our elite fighting force, and we were able to then climb the ice wall, unlocking the last part of the zone.
Best thing about this were the hilarious recoil sentinals, which had a lol-worthy knockback if you got close to them, which had us all bouncing around upstairs, nearly bouncing off the ledge on a couple of occassions (and, sometimes, right off it). At the end of the zone were a couple of Epic x2 level 59 mobs, so we called it a night at that point and officially declared the zone ‘done’ (for the time being…).
