Colonization Thread

Do some scouts assignments then I say. They all telling me on all my characters right now. Also to note we Ceizak one is up to lvl 3 now. Poor little Naakul is tired

That's mainly why I want access to the option, is to track the lvl as it increases. Guessing that the lvl dictates their -DT, and that the lvl increases every 20% of col. rate, as we're at 69% for that lvl 3.

Been watching col. rate in Ceizak to catch what 70% increases since I'm assuming with the delay we've experienced from 60-69%, the decay for 70%+ will make it near impossible to go beyond by much.

After I finish getting Couriers up I'll do Scouts and see if at a certain rank the option is revealed. Still kinda strange if that's whats causing it not to show, as no other coalitions offer anything based on your personal rank.

With the drop in Naakual entry fees shortly, Naakuals will be done more often. The question becomes what happens when people cap on the gear?

I'm sort of hoping the KIs are required for Delve.

*EDIT* As in making the the KIs a consumable requirement.

[Fake]

Well since they appear as perma key items they won't be consumed.

Its not as if they nakuuls will require a large amount of people to take down in a timely fashion with higher colonization rates.

As it says Delve is for content for those who mastered Naakuals and Skirmish... I do hope you don't need the Skirmish title.

You only get title from doing a Skirmish with Torso V, and you need two. Getting a lone Torso is hard, but a rank V one. Oh boy.

[Uzor]

Honestly, I think that they KI are needed for Delve, but not in the way you think.

From the Delve notes, it's obvious that they will have a "mega boss" so to speak. I'm thinking that the Delve spawn points will be in each zone that has a Naakual, and you need the KI from that Naakual to participate in Delve in that area. Additionally, I don't think that the Skirmish titles are a requirement to participate in Delve. Instead, I believe that skirmish points will be required to purchase the consumable key item required to participate in Delve.

Don't think this is the case. Part of Slycer's translation of Matsui's post:

Items that are related to Delve include:
○○ Petrified Lumber
○○ Fragments
○○ Crystals
There are three different types of each, (the "○○" will be replaced with the specified type) corresponding to the battle area.

○○ Petrified Lumber is exchanged for the "Vi-ja Board" and ability to invade the fracture.
[[I have no idea what this is, Ouija Board? rofl. Wait for official translation to correct the item name.]]
○○ Fragments are items required to carry out field battles against the NMs.
○○ Crystals are attached to the board, which will force up to three of the NMs to not appear within the fracture.

These items are related to Delve events in these areas:
Ceizak Battlegrounds
Morimar Basalt Fields
Foret de Hennetiel

They can be obtained from colonization reives, lair reives, and from defeating monsters.

It sounds like they're just adding these pieces as a drop to current reward tables of col. and lair reives, and either direct drops from monsters or in pyres, or perhaps it just means you get the crystals (item to -1 to -3 Fracture NMs) from defeating the field monsters.

I certainly hope Skirmish titles aren't a pre-req, as others have mentioned only the tier V bodies rewarding a title. Also hope that you're off concerning buying entry items with obsidian fragments, as we're already dealing with a low supply of them, and needing to save thousands to buy anything meaningful, 2k per Skirmish item (idk?) and 9,800 for +2 stones.

What is the max colonization rate any server has seen? About now I'm guessing 75%ish.

At 72% right now in ceizak

[Verby]

Morimar is currently at 79% on Odin, it was 80 earlier but fell not long ago.

[Kidnoftle]

Goddamn I'm jealous of your servers. All my server does is shout for 18 people to do reives in Ceizak

[Modoru]

I'm actually *for* teamwork in some of these reives, but pick-up alliances sound like they're doomed to fail unless you know who you're bringing. We do shout groups every now and then and we do mostly fine. Having someone to watch your back on cures and such is really useful.

[Malithar]

Haven't seen it mentioned, but 70% col. rate in an area doesn't increase the lvl of any of the categories at the Scout's NPC.

To recap, currently:

30% - Spoils lvl 1
40% - Gathering lvl 1
50% - Enemy Numbers lvl 1
60% Natural Hindrances lvl 1, Spoils lvl 2, Gathering lvl 2

Someone mentioned their server having Morimar over 80%, any chance you could check the Scout's reporting NPC and post back the lvls of its categories?

[Yugl]

Odin (Morimar: 82%)
1. Fiend Activity Lv4
2. Enemy Numbers Lv2
3. Natural Hindrances Lv2
4. Gathering Lv3
5. Spoils Lv2

[dasva]

What's the naakul thing say?

[Yugl]

"The Naaukal protecting Morimar are very tired!"

Maybe they haven't slept for awhile?

[Heslon]

Odin (Morimar: 82%)
1. Fiend Activity Lv4
2. Enemy Numbers Lv2
3. Natural Hindrances Lv2
4. Gathering Lv3
5. Spoils Lv2

@85% now and a big group of people out there spamming reives right now lol
how/where can you see this? I could check the npc, maybe something changed with 85%

[Yugl]

Scouts Coalition Saporopo (Taru NPC).

[Heslon]

for some reason i dont see the fiend activity lvl or the naakula thing, but the rest is still the same with 85%

[Malithar]

for some reason i dont see the fiend activity lvl or the naakula thing, but the rest is still the same with 85%

Fiend Activity seems to be hit or miss, some have access to it, some don't. Seems to be related to your personal Scout's coalition rank, but no verification yet.

So 80% seems to add Enemy Numbers lvl 2, Natural Hindrances lvl 2, and Gathering lvl 3. Can't confirm since I can't see Fiend Activity to keep track, but with it being lvl 4 at 80%+, stands to reason that the 1 lvl every 20% is accurate and it simply dictates their current -DT.

Wasn't it shown in the .dats that these catagories had 5 total levels to them? Or was that only for Fiend Activity and all others had 3 levels? If 5, things are going to get better in a rush from 90-100%. Or perhaps 100% isn't the cap we'd think it would be, and it is possible to go beyond? Only time will tell.

[Manque]

Sad.

Quetz here:
Ceizak 58% 2/3 Biv
Yahse 45% 3/3 Biv
Morimar 45%
Hennetiel 30%
