Win. Was totally expecting something retarded like -10 min, since as many have said, they seem to be part of a serious of KIs. -30 min makes it what, +1 imp every 3 days? Nothing amazing, but sure doesn't hurt.

It's only a tier1 KI (Bronze). I'm sure there will be Silver/Mythril/Gold/Platinum etc.

I'm Advisor in 4 coalitions and Probationer in 2. I probably have a crapload of Assignments I've never done so I probably won't get these KIs until like late December. Takes what like 27-28 days worth of Imprimaturs to cap a coalition, then probably another 20 or so imps to do ones I haven't done yet. Sigh...

I'd be happy with bronze/silver/gold, as long as each is -30 min, thats an extra imp per day eventually.

Anyways, completed all Advisor rank assignments and received both KIs. I'm missing the Foret and Morimar frontier station assignments, but have Yorcia and Marjami. Safe to say those are either ignored, or you ONLY need all Advisor rank assignments done.

I'm guessing that based on the NPCs dialogue, that the final reward is simply having all current achievements done. I can't check due to have 100% quest completion and such, but I'd imagine you wouldn't receive it if you were still missing the KU reward or something. No way to check til someone comes along with missing lower tier assignments/non-100% quest completion to check, and that might be awhile, as anyone missing those has more than likely not kept up on imp use (or spammed them and not devoted them to ranking up/completing unique assignments.)

I did check again with only one Advisor assignment not completed, and didn't receive the KIs. Got them both immediately after turning in the final Advisor one.

Ungh... really hope it's "just" advisor assignments and not all of them =/
I'm still like 2 months away from that anyway, 3/6 Advisor atm, and 3/6 contributor.

For research ops, do YOU have to be the victim of the attack, or just someone from your party?

It has to be you. Not only that but you have to actually be inflicted with the attacks associated debuff. Missed a few of the ones that are physical attacks because of using ochain

fuck thats lame -_- no wonder I left mummers for last

Most the mobs do tend to use it fairly quicly so it's easy to get it done really as long as you make sure you are in a position to get hit with it. It does suck for gearless mules who get eaten alive however. Luckily once you get probate you can just spam Morale boosting if you want. Some of the recovering ones aren't that bad either if you know where they are however I don't think anyone has been too up on putting in the locations on maps for the indoor zones

At least on Shiva one of those was sold, back in '06.

For a while you could fish up any item using superhax.

The slug one is conal at least. But once you get hit by that you're gearless too, so.

All of the moves for the Mummer's assignments are AoE of some sort, mostly conal, some full. As long as you're in range and the enfeeble lands, you get credit.

Kind of hoped at least of the KIs would be rewarded earlier. Getting all Advisor rank assignments done still is not feasible for most players for a little while unless they duped tags. I'm sure they will raise the cap past Advisor since they have to add another zone for the 6th naakual. In doing so, we'll probably have like 3 more Edifications per coalition with subsequent Ionis bonuses and stuff. The last zone's courier assignemtns will probably be like 20k+ for a Biviouac 4. Probably going to be a "[Insert monosyllabic 3 letter word] + Gate" from Marjarmi Ravine that connects to the glacier zone. Will probably be filled with White Rabbits, Tigers, Marids and Yeti type mobs.

**Byrthnoth** · 2013-09-15 11:41

I am Advisor or close in every coalition, but have done none of the now-impossible Couriers' Coalition missions. I hope I still get something!

**Ophannus** · 2013-09-15 11:50

I doubt those would count, would seem unfair. If it were the case, I'd wager they'd either patch it, or make it so it's possible to do those assignments to bolster colonization rate/decrease rate of losing colonization rate/bivouac endurance.

So basically you mean totally something SE would do?

Even if those assignments aren't needed, I really hope they do something like this. I missed doing it for Yorcia and it's going to annoy me forever being one away from total completion. I didn't think to store up a bunch of imprimaturs ahead of time so I could blitz up to Partner rank for access to the assignment, so the station was built long before I could accrue enough. =/ I'll definitely be doing so for Kamihr Piedmont, though.

I still got a handful of Advisor assignments left, two of which are colonization and lair reives in Yorcia. Are those possible to solo at all on like SMN? Not sure if the mobs wander too far to safely stay out of range and it doesn't seem like there are any places to hide like in Marjami.

**dasva** · 2013-09-15 16:05

Colo easy you can go way far from it. Lair you can't get out of aggro range but the mobs are kinda spread usually so you can usually time your sneak/invis
