Colonization Thread

[Fwahm]

anyone else feeling rushed to get bayld and the items/KI they want before the coalitions lose their rank and we lose access?

is there a better method to obtaining bayld then running with the crowd to the colony revies? i seem to only get 1k or so per revie that way, not counting imps. I see people with bayld to burn (100k KI to earn 0 or 20k depending).

I am struggling to get the bayld i need for 2 body pieces and one head before sunday, and I don't have hours to run around farming colony revies. I use imps as much as possible, maybe I am doing the wrong missions. I usually do couriers, pioneers and peacekeepers.

Any suggestions?

What job are you doing Reives on? I get around 3000 per reive after the melee nerf, so 1000 seems really low.

In addition, Adoulin is new; unlike colonization percent, SE seems to have tuned the ranks fairly well (at least for now). Coalitions aren't going to rank down for quite a while.

Sorry what?

1000 seems extremely low, I get between 3k and 6k on WHM, depending on how long it lasts.

If I'm not wrong, I remembered I read it in Dev Tracker thread that, Bivouac can be destroyed, but Frontier station will stay permanently?!

I read it the same way as you.

It takes 20 Imprimaturs to rank up per rank, regardless of how you do it x1 or x3 per use, but in order to get mission access (Dinner Invitation) you need to do 50+ assignments total? Am I understanding this correctly?

From my experience that's an over-simplification. It takes 50+ tags to get the Dinner Invitation, but there is also some other requirement that we can't figure out involving quests. If you hit 50+ and can't get CS, doing more quests can help you trigger the CS. Also, we have plenty of confirmation that the first 2 rankups require 20 tags each spent any way, but it definitely took me 25 tags to get the 3rd rankup spent 1 at a time on a low level assignment.

I'm not so concerned with ranking up atm, as it serves no other purpose than to unlock higher level assignments for myself and myself only. The best use of my time is to do assignments with the use of single Imprimatur as you will not only chip away at mission prerequisite, but also add towards your standing (ranking) in each coalition.

I've been focusing on Pioneer Coalition's "Clear" assignments up to this point for obvious reasons (Bayld from assignment and Reives). In my "completed" quests section I have 5 types assignments completed, of which Gather Rala and Ceizak, Recover: Ceizak and Research: Rala have been done only once. Unfortunately, I lost track of how many times I've done Preserve: Seizak and Clear: Ceizak. I will continue to do so with x1 Imprimatur use per assignment strictly focusing on Clear: Ceizak from now on and report back with my progress as to when I get my next rank up (Currently Probationer). The reason for this is I want to figure for certain if a repeated assignment at lower rank gives same points towards rank up as a higher rank assignment.

Not the OP, but I have the same issue. Usually go as BST/DNC sic pet on Knotted root and attacked knotted root. Cure myself as needed, and fight any aggro as needed. Can't seem to get more thant 1-1.2K per colonization reive. Also, it seems like the in fight evaluations are sometimes spread out way more than others.

Any suggestions (or job combos) that seem to work best?

Took me exactly 20 repeats of Gather | Moh Gates (Probationer) to get to Inventor's Disciple

I personally do War/Sam with a partial -PDT set with a Whm or Sch friend. Retaliation + mobs aggroing from the other side of the roots ensures lots of FC spam, while all the damage I'm taking ensures my friend caps out his personal evals too. If I'm doing them without the friend, I stick to War/Dnc and FC more carefully to avoid getting too many mobs. 1-2 and I'm usually okay, but anymore and it can get hairy quick.

[Moozie]

i usually go blu/whm for stoneskin and rr. I wait for the pld or someone to gather the mobs then wail away at the roots, and spam physical spells as well. when I finishe my root, i move to the others, curing as needed, hasteing etc.

maybe 1k is too low, I think I did two rounds of 4 in ceizak and got about 15k, again not counting imps. there are a lot of people doing this circuit when i have time, so they don't last very long, maybe 3 mins each or so, 5 tops.

I say i have to get them before sunday because I have no faith that the peacekeepers will keep its level 2 ranking. it will probably go up to lv 3, but no one wants to do lair revies, not as much bayld as colony.

on phoenix right now all guilds are at 2 except poineer at 3 and inventors at 1.

ceizah and yahse have 3/3 bivs and 27% colonization, foret has 2 bivs and 17%, morimar has 1 biv and 17%.

[Fake]

Why would it going to rank 3 have any impact on you buying the body pieces.

[Moozie]

it doesn't, i am afraid of it doing DOWN.

[NynJa]

Even then, theres no proof that an edification will be lost...you're worrying way too much.

[Fake]

There isn't a single report of any server having a coalition delevel yet, also you can check whether its on course to delevel by speaking to the registrar.

In your post you said it will probably go up to level 3

[Moozie]

there has already been posts about bivs being destroyed, and you think that we will be able to keep signboard effects if the coalition falls too low?

I know I have been away for a long time, but this is SE we are talking about right?

[NynJa]

Theres been one post about a biv being destroyed...because courrier ops suck major dick and SE was expecting all 3000 characters per server to actually do SoA stuff (including the lv1 mules)

[Fake]

After the earlier maint colonization rate has gone above 26% in multiple zones now. Hopefully the adjustment also applies to bivouacs

[NynJa]

Ceizak and Yahse are still 3/3 and at 27% on carby
Morimar 1/5 18%, Foret 2/4 15%

gonna give it a couple hours, the JP's are still on

[Hirronimus]

What does Colonization decay ratio is based on? I've been doing Colonization Reives for the last 3+ hours. Usually the people out doing Reives wait around for them to pop after clearing all 4 in Ceizak. In that time I've seen rate go down to 27% after my initial run through all 4. I don't know if anyone ran any supplies to Bivouacs in that time or if any Lair Reives have been destroyed, but after 2nd run through Colonization Reives, the rate went up to 28%. After 3rd run through all 4 Col.Reives, the rate is at 29%. I imagine it's hard to determine actual decay ratio of % per hour with people constantly doing Reives/Assignments.

[Moozie]

do you get less bayld if you have imps open for colony revie? granted i got to it a little late, but i was whackin away, finished one root, moved to the middle.

bayld before 44805, after 45010, a gain of 205. will report back on this next one i will be in from the start.
