    Am I the only one assuming they intend to manually unlock all of the offensive campaign ops during the event? I mean, it's a relatively short period of time, given the potential for complete lockout. I can't see the focal point of an entire event being subject to whether or not the playerbase had opened up the battlefields.

    I hope so but it's 3 weeks so they could totally expect us to take 1 week to open them wich would be uber lame.

    Not to mention that having the wrong nation take over a stronghold renders the BC inoperable, IIRC. Windy had control of beaudeux and bastok had control of the other zones, but plucking shells was still locked.

    Yeah, I have no overly optimistic tendencies with regard to SE's foresight, but there are simply too many ways for this to blow up in our faces for them to not be handling the unlocking themselves

    Well there always can be a random JP effort.

    While it'd be nice for the Ops to be unlocked automatically during this event, I'm pretty sure there would have been a line in there somewhere stating that would be the case if so. Could be wrong but I wouldn't expect SE to throw us a bone like that.

    This is what I took it as, since we know Atomos is coming in September. Presumably, you'd need to complete WotG for access to his fight, as well as perhaps a new merit fight against Lady Lilith.

    I think it's obvious you guys are right. Didn't think about it but now that I've read your posts I'm sure that's the thing: Atomos.
    Wouldn't hold my breath for Lady Lilith though, not before other "final" fights get implemented. Currently we got only the RotZ one (Eald'narche), if you consider that the final fight of RotZ I guess.
    For instance, I'd love to see a Promathia fight. That was such an awesome fight and we need more reasons to visit Empyreal Paradox (best BC zone ever!)

    I really want that 2 Spite Warden fight to be added, just because I have a strange obsession with whatever that music is.

    In AU, they huddled around the AC watching the war doing this:

    In Adoulin, before colinizing the area, they climed up trees and did this:

    Except... You know... it eventually did.... what with the WHOLE WORLD being ruled by Devil!Raogrimm... Hence Lady Lilith and the ENTIRE PLOT of WotG................

    And also Goddess Tears... Altana wouldn't have been crying kitties if only the "blessed" races on the "mainland" died out to virtual extinction in favor of the Beastmen....
    EVERYONE dies in Lady Lilith's timeline.
    The whole world is dead and demonriddled.
    There is no Barl and her wall to save anyone.

    While she is technically still alive and fighting the war you could say she's not really a child of Altana anymore. They've sold their souls to Odin and become akin to demons themselves. So you could argue that the races did die off

    Welp... not that it likely matters now... but even with the event started... 2 medals are still lost when switching nations to try the Stronghold Ops fights...

    On a side note... received a Flurry II scroll and then a Kaggen's Cuticle from 2 different Splitting Heirs runs

    I've done Fiat Lux twice so far since the update. So far I've seen 3 spots added to the pool:

    Slot 1: 1 Byne Bill, O. Bronze
    Slot 2: Carnage Elegy, Indi-Frailty
    Slot 3: Sack (L), Sack (D)

    4 slots below those, but those were all normal drops from the BC. So it seems like Slot 1 is Currency, Slot 2 is a Scroll and Slot 3 is a WoE Pouch.

    Edit: Run 3 :

    O.Bronze
    Absorb-Dex
    Sack (D)

    Plucking Wings available on my server, no Fiat... but my pool looked liked this

    Tuku Whiteshell
    GEO Spell
    Dragon Meat
    H-P Bayld
    (Normal Drops x4)

    Normal drops being what usually comes from the fight... the Armor, the grips, and some low-ranking Gemstones (Moonstone, Aquamarine, etc). So possibly having something like

    Slot1: Currency
    Slot2: Synth Mat
    Slot3: Spell
    Slot4: (Bayld?)

    I'll do a few more runs to see if any of these aren't 100%.

    My two Fiat Lux runs this morning match this pattern, except slot 3 (WoE item) isn't necessarily a pouch. I'd assume Slot 1 could be a 100, given the Campaign Festa notes.

    Run 1:
    Slot 1: T. Whiteshell
    Slot 2: Distract II
    Slot 3: Sack (L)

    Run 2:
    Slot 1: O. Bronzepiece
    Slot 2: Raise II
    Slot 3: Devious Die (single...)

    Second run

    Slot1: T.White
    Slot2: Indi-Gravity
    Slot3: Dragon Meat
    Slot4: Nothing!

    Looks like H-P Bayld is not guaranteed, but the first three slots seems to be Currency/Spell/SynthMat.
