Strategy
You'll really need an A30/C30 combo duo to deal with this longish farm. It can also easily be done with a W30/C30 combo, but the dangers are real. With the exception of the Salmizan (the red dragon) all the dragons are strike damage capped, magic reflectors, and petrify resistant. All but Salmizan and Helmanos are aggro, so you'll have to quickly place bard and ranger and optionally mage debuffs on the upper dragons. Salmizan will pzar, but rarely. You can strike or BI him down. Fully debuff and run a PFA shield-charger on the rest of the upper dragons. Watch the DT at the finish line, NE from Zareef. A glowing PFA protected APAL will take virtually no damage and will only require occasional rejuvs/restores during the blue/black/white/green melees.
Assembly Command
Once you've gathered the five shields, load the bucket of black war paint from the Dragon Assassin who can be found either in the Storage Room or the Small House on the Northern Wall Road of Dragon City. The Bucket of Paint is !rent, and sometimes can be found either in a donation room or dropped somewhere in Dragon City.
