ToAU Boat?

[kleman]

A friend of mine on alexander server told me after doing several quests he talked to some mithra in Mhuara and got a boat pass for Al zahib or w/e the name was. I was wondering if anyone else knows about this? Or he is just leading me on a wild goose chase :/

[Hiryo]

Didnt SE say something silly like not needing RoZ or CoP to play around with the ToAU expansion?

Sounds like a wild goose chase. People who parsed the key item list did not find such an item. (This is the listing.) Although plausable with the Lure of the Wildcats quests, the item he said that he got does not exist.

Yea i figured he didn't get something, probably was confused, he said he did the lure of the wildcatx4 Blighted Gloom and Bait and Switch >.> although i thought that sounds dumb to make you have a high LV npc to get into ToAu lol i just didn't wanna get left behind, thx for the reply guys appreciate it

SE said it would be pointless to log @ Mhuara (the entrance to the new city) the night before because you will have to do a quest(s) before you have access to ToAU. And that quest has yet to be introduced, atleast the main/final one.

Although I am sure that the Lure of the Wildcats quests will have a significant chance of being prerequisites to get the ToAU boat pass.

Bleh...

What are the chances you'll be able to enter these areas without even having an NPC friend? I got the quest, got psyched up to get it, then never followed through to actually getting it, let alone levelling it and doing the quests.

[SephYuyX]

Why would you need a NPC to enter ToAU? That would be kinda silly.

You probably will not need an NPC Fellow to get to ToAU, but there will probably be some quests/content that you will need an NPC to do. (There is a lot of talk about Aht Urhgan in the NPC quests.)

If there's a lot of talk about AU, I guess NPCs could be part of a quest in AU or something >.> but I personally hope they aren't gonna be needed for any major quests (like the AU equivalent of In the Name of Science or something).

I got all 84 NPCs and all 4 invitations for Salaheem's Sentinels or w/e, but leveling an NPC and doing all that just seemed like a waste of time to me <.<;;

You probably need up to a certain ToAU mission before you can access the boat in Mhuara, to get to the new land.

It is stupid to require missons for the first area. If they learn anything from CoP, they should learn that. Let people who buy the expansion actually experience it the first day and be able to visit a place like tavnazia. They should have started the promy after tavnazia so at least people could go there instead of saying 'fuck CoP, promys suck'.

I won't argue that promyvs weren't terrible (I didn't beat mine until way~ after release, although to be fair I hadn't been playing long when it came out), but try to imagine if every assclown from lower jeuno was in tavnazian safehold when you first got there on the day of the release. Imagine trying to explore or watch CSes with constant OMG IT HAS LIEK THREE FLOURS! and HOW I MINE FOR FISH /shouts everywhere. I think it was in the Sage Sundi interview I heard that SE intentionally made promyvs a nightmare to slow the flow of people into the expansion areas.

I really hope there isn't some assinine level-capped hell required to get to the new areas, but I also hope I can move through these zones without everyone and their mom stepping on my toes within the first month after release. There has to be a fair way to keep people who dont belong there out. Not so hard that people rip out their hair and never wanna do anything else in expansion, but hard enough so that no one can beat it for Angelkitty before I arrive ><.

(lawl, Angelkitty is on my server, I was actually in a pt with him this weekend. Didn't refresh me near often enough, melee'd as RDM (on hornflies in CN -.-; sup, cursed sphere?), and eventually went afk for like 15min. JP pt leader kicked him without D2ing^_^ we left his ass there 3 hrs and 15k exp later. Just thought I'd share that the legend lives on.)

Sky required a mission to access, yet i don't see any bitching about that. Nothing wrong with a little challenge to access a new area.

A better example would be kazham. Still though, it looks like ToAU's best content will require a mission to get to, which is a bit frustrating, but not unmanegable. I only hope the mission is soloable

Know what would be cool actually? Instead of level capped missions scaling missions... that would be so hard to make but so much better...

[Suci]

I personally hope its something that will be hard and only the strongest on the servers will beable to make it. Im willing to bet to start the missions youll have to go to norg(boat access will probably be a quest). The new ending leaves a opening for something.

SHe was not talking about sea, she was talking about the safehold. But, I like the initial exclucivity of it so, I don't really agree.

[Priran]

A friend on a server no one plays on told me that a friend said that a NPC in a place he forgets gave him a key item that lets him use the green teleports in Ru'aun.

He forgets what the requirements were.
