Sunday afternoon sees a quick ml5.9/10 and then off for ML6.
ML6 has 2 pre-steps. 6.5 (which takes a while I'll warn you), and the pesky ML6.1.
**edit**
Done with a small group. Scroll down this thread to find others who are still looking to do it though, as well as tips on 6.5.
Ml 6.1
6.5 isn't hard (unless your a druid or bard), just tricky.
It works like this.
<> Kill salamander hatchlings until you have 20 Frozen Cold Glands. If you leave volcanus (including if you die and release) you will lose ALL the glands you have, so you have to get all 20 in one go. Hatchlings can be found easily if you just go east from the entrance of volcanus.
<> Hand in your 20 cold glands to the elf " Crazed Adventurer" found near the hatchlings at 18k 28k, standing by a big spinning cog. As soon as you hand him the 20th gland, the fire protecting the 4 pedestals around his spinning cog thing will vanish, allowing you to run to them all and pick up the various bits sitting on them. YOU ONLY HAVE 60 SECONDS FROM AS SOON AS YOU HAND HIM THE FINAL GLAND. So be ready to sprint
<> Once you have grabbed the parts form all 4 pedestals, they will merge into a hammer that you`ll find in your backpack. All you need to do now is look around the local area for a Livid Salamander (usually around the hatchlings). Target him, drag the hammer into a space on your quickbar and "use" it as you would a water potion.
<> The salamander dies. You have ML6.5. Joy is shared.
Then your done
The whole thing takes around 30-60mins depending how quickly you can kill the hatchlings. Friends can help and hand you any Cold Glands they get. Just remember not to leave volcanus with them.

Also, another tip if you have a 2nd account is to have that account hold all the glands. That was you can die/release and will not be back at the start.
