    400 point faction leves

    1) How hard are they? Could a tank and mage duo?


    2) Are all 3 factions dropping different random stones or is there a pattern?

    Heard you need 6 people for the buffalo and 8 people for the wolf guy.

    For the Drake/Amaal'ja NM I would take no less than 2 tanks 2 healers 2 dps. For the Buffalo I would take no less than 1 tank 2 healers 3 dps. Haven't done wolf yet.

    The leve NMs are considerably weaker than the world NMs, but you still have a time limit. THM's dots also seem to wreck NMs pretty bad.

    Both have a time limit, actually. The open world NMs start to rage after 30 minutes. Also, as far as the buffalo NM, it's not that much lower in rank than the open world buffalo. There is only a 2-3 rank difference from what I see.

    Do certain factions have to be completed other than the special mission factions before you have access to these? Rank Specific for it to even show up?

    Edit: I only have 327 for said area (Horn in Hand), It's not showing because it's a 400 point leve?

    So I did the the 2 broken blade specials today, and the 400 point one did not show up, I have 280 points in it. But the 400 point in shields popped and i have 500 in that one. Either its glitched or you get the 400 given to you in a different faction if you have the points in it.

    This happen to anyone else?

    If I'm understanding correctly, you're wanting the 400 point leve to show up in the faction that you don't have 400 points in? It won't show up until you have 400 points.

    You are understanding correctly, but... It gave me the 400 shields one when I did no 100s in shield.

    The stones u get (if u are lucky enough to even get 1 to drop) is definatly just any random piece.

    What I wanna know is if anyone has found a better way to actually get a stone to drop??? I mean man, 5 of us linked a 400 buffalo leve and noone got a stone....

  14. #14

    I got lucky and a stone dropped for me. However, other where not as lucky as me during the run. So for now I am holding off. I hope we get more information on the stones soon. Once I get to 1000 credits I guess I will have to do them then. Really annoys me that only two faction has the NM for stones.

    Until they make a new faction, it's going to stay that way. Horn and Hand leves never involve fighting. They are all focused on collecting items, investigating areas, and/or following suspects.

    Has any pattern been noticed when it comes to which stones drop?

    So we did the buffalo 2 way link, I got a stone while the other guy dint. When I went to check the stone it turned out to be Harlequin Aketon. GG SE way to make the only endgame a pile of faggotry.
