Random question, I noticed on BG wiki, it says Advisor rank is currently the highest. I thought we only had one rank in this patch?

Coalitions got a single new rank, as for us adventurers, we got two new ranks. It makes sense that we always have a possible individual rank that's higher than the current possible coalition rank.

(And happy birthday Spira!)

I quickly converted Spiras Yorica and Marjami maps into dat form (apologies to Spira, a lot of quality was lost going from 1024>512 ><)

Hopefully this will help Yorica become a bit more popular!

Ill love you forever if you do the same for the previous maps spira did <.< or provide me with a link for the dat swaps!! or a way to do it myself

Edit: I never checked my fame level until today, but people with lvl 4-5 fame (beeing able to do order-up) dont have the same reductions i have

[Arthars]

so much win in this last few pages thanks for the maps and dat guys!!! <3

[Flippant]

There's definitely a relationship between rank and fame for KI reductions. Maybe each Fame level equals the number of reductions possible but in order to qualify for that reduction you have to have spent X number of imps towards a coalition rank promotion. So lets just say for demonstrative purposes it takes 60 imps to get a -5k reduction, so if you're Fame Level 5, you can have up to five -5k reductions for a total of -25k on your KI purchase, but only if you've spent the 240 imps. Has anyone so far gotten more than -25k off a KI?

I think you mean if you've spent the 300 imps?

Well, I'm rank 3 fame, Contributor in Peacekeepers and Couriers, as well as quite a few tags overflowed on Peacekeepers (definitely 20+ because I didn't realize at the time that rank was capped and only looked it up because I couldn't get past Contributor). Plus a few tags split between Pioneers, Scouts, and Inventors (I can't be exact, but 21 in the past week alone). Over 161 tags. Unless I'm adding something up wrong here.

New Naakuals still cost me 70k.

thx guys.

@Nerji, i once considered working on 512x512 when i realized people were using my maps for dat swaps.. but firstly too tiny (these maps arent so bad but the abyssea ones -.-) and secondly it seems the game just takes the 512x512 version and blows it up in game.. so the quality is gonna suck either way. sux that way. i wish the game supported higher quality res maps lol

[Spira]

edit: glitch in the matrix

[Nerji]

I just added the other zones Spira has done; Ceizak, Yahse, Cirdas, Hennetiel
Yorcia and Marjami swaps will be in there too

@Spira the symbols come out okay, the text looks really bad though, most of it is readable though

[Jeryhn]

...because people have been bugging me to make new maps...

A quick question, the dats show an ergon tincture from an ergon locus called the Frostbloom in Morimar. Does anyone know where this locus is located? I know where the other two in morimar are.

Also, today Reja Ydrighe in the library rewarded me with Kinetic Units, though I don't know what I did to earn them. And since I was close to the cap, it just filled me to cap, so I can't say how many she actually gives.

[Shadida]

I searched but couldn't find the answer to this simple question: Do lair reive monsters link with their "nest"? Would it be possible to solo lair reives on RNG just ranged attack spamming?

I think I remember seeing that mobs don't link with the boulders/roots in colonization reives, but those would probably take an eternity to solo.

[Garka]

Got a new reward from the mithra in the library today, not sure what I did to get it, but received 10,000 kinetic units for something.

[dasva]

So the velkk in dho gates colo reives seem to have true sight and/or true sound. But you can run around the side and hide behind the wall at least one 1 of them

[dasva]

Also did they kill pet afking on walls? Cause I'm not getting any evals but the second I cure myself or use jig I get a bunch

I've noticed that unlike other reives, they will aggro you no matter if the reive is being attacked or not.

As of just before the update they didn't. I duod a lair rieve on smn with a RNG shitting the thunder WS on the lair target.

Yeah it's just it seems they are sometimes truesight when it's being attacked. Also just got only 44 for final eval... granted because this smn was mpking me a bit I wasn't back in till the end

Edit: nvm guess it was just that one random time they saw thru invis

Frostbloom is at about H-6. It's in an area reached via scalable areas with the climbing KI. The cool thing is, its at the very top of one of those huge rock spikes, and has trees on top. <,<

[Foldypaws]

So I ended up soloing a couple reives in Yorica, and I'm pretty confident about the following, (which may already be known, I dunno.)

The Gnarled Ramparts have 75k HP each. The bayld cap per evaluation is 1 bayld per 50 HP of damage done (by anyone, of course). So 3k total bayld available, + a 700 bonus at the end.

[dasva]

Probably already knowning but the evals including hte last one get some kind of lvl correction. So my lvl 95 character gets 560 at the end insteasd of 700
