Idle Guild Master: D7 Obsidian Mines — What Players Say

u/Any_Background3176, 2026-03-14, era C, comment oac368h:
Basic guide lines is to avoid using mages and use archers and rogues that can hit even in high darkness.^[5]

u/Sneralted, 2024-08-07, era A, comment lgvh6qp:
Physical damage is slightly preferred over magic damage since one weak enemy has 100% magic resist.^[6]

u/Sneralted, 2024-08-07, era A, comment lgvh6qp:
Iron Defender, Healer, Hailstorm, Red Archmage would be my recommendation at this point^[6]

u/unofficialSperm, 2025-06-27, era B, comment mzzstda:
Make two panopticon Staffs and Swap Out the rogue with a fire mage^[7]

u/Educational-Fun3513, 2026-03-21, era C, comment obo945m:
When I cleared this dungeon for the first time I used an anti darkness team with Paladin, healer with panopticon, archer and red mage.^[1]

u/Frosty-Toe-1933, 2026-08-17, era C, comment p45yanh:
Until then, keep only one tank: a Fire Mage, your strongest Archer, and the White Mage with the Serpent Staff for extra damage; healing reduction won't be a major issue on that map.^[8]

u/MrT3a, 2024-08-07, era A, comment lgwo3w1:
White Elder (Bookworm, Winterwood staff, Exotic robe, Mitre hat)^[6]

u/Any_Background3176, 2026-03-14, era C, comment oac368h:
Healer, recommend using tricorn for survivability, but mitre hat works too.^[5]

u/Alexey_Drg, 2026-03-14, era C, comment oacllbj:
The hermit will attack first, and if you're unlucky, it can kill the healer with a single blow, so I wouldn't recommend using the mitre at all.^[5]

u/Quackenunleahed, 2026-05-26, era C, comment oo0r5wz:
replace the miter hat on your healer with an obsidian helm to give it a better chance of surviving.^[9]

u/Any_Background3176, 2026-03-14, era C, comment oadedst:
Boss has an 24% crit rate and hits between 112-218, so I would say about half of crits will kill the healer when wearing mitre hat.^[5]

u/Any_Background3176, 2026-03-14, era C, comment oadedst:
Forgot completely about the darkness buff when writing this, so will be more often and some normal high rolls might even kill healer.^[5]

u/Any_Background3176, 2026-03-14, era C, comment oadedst:
I would say to try both options.^[5]

u/Sneralted, 2024-08-07, era A, comment lgwo20i:
farm up more D7 gear. Panopticon Staves, Spider Robes, Vampire Scepters, Vampire Daggers, Unholy Cuirass^[10]

u/AshtonShiken, 2025-05-08, era A, comment mr6t5i0:
a more attainable chestpiece would be Unholy Cuirass (you can make this right now with D7 materials)^[11]

u/Drakunet, 2026-03-25, era C, comment occn0ab:
Unholy cuiras do nothing in D7 because the enemies have magic armor, so just keep the obsidian or farm a different armor for the tank^[1]

u/Ghiser95, 2026-03-21, era C, comment obmqqtu:
You should change the staff of the healer, because you are decreasing the dmg of the night specter and the darkness doesnt affect your archer^[1]

u/Any_Background3176, 2026-03-21, era C, comment obo4mlr:
The panopticon staff might be doing more good than harm. Yes it decreases the night rogue's damage, but it also reduces the miners' and hermit's damage.^[1]

u/Educational-Fun3513, 2026-03-21, era C, comment obo945m:
healer with panopticon^[1]

u/Altruistic_Ad_539, 2025-06-27, era B, comment mzzrx1d:
Pretty sure you need to clear Lost Expedition once to unlock d8.^[7]

u/unofficialSperm, 2025-06-27, era B, comment mzzstda:
I think you need 200 areas cleared to unlock d8 although i am Not Sure on that.^[7]

u/Desperate_Box, 2025-06-27, era B, comment n00solm:
He's wrong. You need to clear the dreadful ascent.^[7]

u/More_Independence_43, 2026-05-15, era C, comment olx6g23:
You need to clear the Dreadful Ascent Raid to unlock D8.^[12]

u/HuntRoger, 2026-08-16, era C, comment p41lk1m:
Complete this epic raid will unlock next dungeon.^[8]

u/Fluffy-Internet-6250, 2024-11-12, era A, comment lwti2j6:
All deaths are the same : lucky shot of the Pale Hermit on my healer.^[13]

u/Alexey_Drg, 2026-03-21, era C, comment obmo4ej:
the Hermit will most likely kill the healer and the damage dealer upon appearance^[1]

u/Shaaou, 2026-03-24, era C, comment oc5zgsl:
you'll get wiped with every pale hermit encounter^[1]

u/Quackenunleahed, 2026-05-26, era C, comment oo0r5wz:
Most likely culprit is the pale lurker miniboss that appears when darkness is maxed(80)^[9]

u/Sneralted, 2024-08-07, era A, comment lgvh6qp:
My advice would be to dive straight in. D7 has very high drop rates, the gear is fantastic, and the encounters are arguably much easier than D6.^[6]

u/Coldea4K, 2024-08-06, era A, comment lgt5suc:
I would probably farm the Frostpeak gear a little more, imo you need t6 crew and d6 gear to progress. You will wipe while getting a few drops^[6]

u/Secret-Fig-2963, 2024-11-12, era A, comment lwt88qy:
But who in hell will farm d7?
No food, bad potions.^[13]

u/FlamingCuriosity, 2024-11-12, era A, comment lwtbrbl:
Everyone in the end game farms D7.^[13]

u/FlamingCuriosity, 2024-11-12, era A, comment lwtbrbl:
it gives no food and actually pretty powerful potions it is one of the best dungeons for money^[13]

u/Key-Speed-2688, 2024-11-12, era A, comment lwtn3mw:
Also the xp/hour is mainly from pale hermits. Like 3-5 per hour for 18-30k xp/h +- like 4-5k from normal mobs.^[13]

u/jrohrer13, 2025-06-25, era B, comment mzoxzww:
I'm leveling my tanks duo in d7 with ascended night rogue. 50k~ an hour so 25k to each.^[14]

u/Fomor666, 2026-08-14, era C, comment p3lhreg:
I use a rogue and tank combo to quickly level other characters in D7, averaging around 60k experience per hour (the tank and rogue get 100%, the character being leveled gets 215%, meaning they get 31k experience per hour).^[15]
