I'm trying to get a handle on the new content here, I've seen some setup information in a few places but figured asking in general and trying to pool it will help others as well.
Entry Requirements
Level95 (realistically ilvl 119)
Ability to reach Marjami Ravine (Seekers installed)
Ally leader must have KI to enter.
Difficulty level
Starts at 123 (not to be read as 1 - 2 - 3 like Skirmish, but as one hundred twenty three)
Highest difficulty is 1368? (so far I don't think the highest cap, if any, has been found).
Turning in KI's from all 6 NM's allows you to raise the difficulty level by 1
Setup
This is where I'm not sure, I'm sure I'll be riding the "still getting up to speed as a returning player" for a bit longer, but from what I've seen/read/experianced...
for "low man" lower difficulties

The last one I'm guessing on. for trash it would let you fight up to 2 at once (clearing faster), adding 2 potential sleep/stun, and dedicating one person to Haste2 so bards could go single march. I confess when buff stacking for Brd/Cor/Geo+food I don't know what works out the best.
I also don't know if it's worth having a full alliance scaling up the health pools for the targets compared to going in with 10-12 in higher difficulties.
