Maybe it's just a placebo, but I got Glacial on third/fourth mining attempt using HQ Pickaxe instead of the NQ.

I'm also missing the Outer Ra'kaznar 5x Mining assignment... are there even Mining points in Ra'kaznar? o.O
Anybody remembers where the've seen some?
(thanks for the Article tip btw)

[astrael]

I blame the sheer size of the map but there's definitely mining points, ran into two while looking for scales last night. Most of them are in the 2nd/basement map. Otherwiki has them marked with red x's on their zone maps if you want the exact locations.

[Sechs]

Oh yeah, seen two in the lower part of the map in those 2 corners.
Would make sense for 2 more to be in the same locations but in the north part of the map as well, I guess

Thanks!

[pancakesandsex]

There's a missing quest, "Lerene's Lament".

Thanks, had that one in my personal version but not the public one.

Ra'kaznar mining points are in the areas of the maps that have 4 paths going from 4 circle rooms to each other. They most commonly appear in the rooms with vines in them (either above or below), but can appear in the other circle rooms too.

Has anyone ran any figures to see which reives give the best bayld over time? Tried nuking down Kamihr's, but they just take so long solo. I've been running around Foret and Morimar blowing them up within a couple min each, and it's not that bad, 30-40kish an hour, and I figure there's more chances of getting an HP drop that way as well, even though the drop rate seems to be ass in these zones, 10% at best in my experience so far.

Oddly I managed to solo 2 colos and 9 lairs from full hp and no HP balyd.... then one lair I only got credit for half because I had to leave half way thru since I accidentally nuked a mob came back and got the HP... obviously small sample size and rng but I doubt the increases after the first eval have a huge enough effect on droprates to justify going for slower kill

[sahearniitth]

Not sure if its been mentioned but the new blank rank follows the pattern of taking 20 imps if you do ops from the 2 ranks below it. I tested using Legend/Magnate ops. Not sure if it extends below that.

[Ophannus]

The npc that tells you all ranks at once(no the civil npc) does she reveal the new rank name?

[Vathris]

From the dev tracker findings:
"-There has been no increase in player coalition ranks from Legend."

Strange... i have the blank rank on 5/6 coalitions now.

Just a bug apparently.

[dasva]

Guess I should stop trying to recap them the 2 I haven't already. Did they add new assignments?

No

Sylph failed, so we only managed to rank up Courier's and Inventor's coalitions.

Courier's Main Chimney upgrade brings the Kinetic Unit cost reduction to -50%, while Inventor's Main Chimney allows you to buy the Frontier Station warp rings in the dats for 15k bayld.

[Malithar]

Bahamut got them all.

Didn't keep track of which Ionis buffs were not moderate, but now all of them are moderate.

Peacekeepers: Gear as expected. 15-25k for armor, 30k for weapons.

Scouts: Ergon Locus and Spoils II, more generally useless information, didn't have the balls to see if the spoils NPC still crashes clients.

Mummers: Sort of a Poker game, 3 cards, 4 suits, 1-6, best hand of 3 wins. You still earn 50 medals on a win. More box spam if a use is ever added to them. The reward added was the mask in the .dats. There might have been more fireworks or food, I never really kept track of what they offered.

Pioneers: The 6 new HELM KIs in the .dats. 40k bayld each. nothx to throwing away 240k bayld with HPs in play.

yeah Sylph failed alright, but we got 3/6 not 2/6. Scout's ranked up too. Remember the map info can take a while to update.

Before and after Main Chimney edification (this is Scout's Coalition, but they all look similar)

Spoiler: show

Before:


After:

[Snprphnx]

Bismarck went 4/6. Got all but Mummers and Peacekeepers. No new gear for us.

[Prothescar]

Valefor got them all besides Peacekeeper, guess no one was doing that one except me and a couple others that I saw out there .-.

Can't figure out what Mummer Chimney gave to Ionis. possibly nothing since they're all still listed as Moderate.

[Fwahm]

On my server, the Mummer's NPC says that, "Further, the Ionis effects will expand to include ."
