LC Assault Thread

[Jeryhn]

If I recall correctly, you can only take two samples from one tube.
Therefore, you take two samples from the three tubes with the heaviest density (for a total of six).

no you can take 3 from one tube.

Hmm... I could have sworn the NPC said I could only take 2 from each.

Perhaps the answer is different for everyone?

After mixing the things together, you need to zone and go back to Naja's assistant the next game day in my experience. Edit: I'm not even sure it matters what you mix as the CS doesn't even mention it when you get promoted. Several people in my group mixed different results.



As for actual Assaults, we went in with 6 people for each:

Shooting Down the Baron
Relatively simple, find the Imp "Black Baron" and kill him. He will occasionally warp to another part of the map. The fish in the area are sleepable.


Breaking Morale
Find coffers and open them, return the contents to the start NPC without the mobs seeing you. The Mamool Trainees will attack you while the mage one simply gives some text in /say and transports you to jail. Sneak/Invis are ineffective. Within the jail, there's some liquid you can drink to turn into a mamool which allows you to sneak around, but it drains HP.


Shanarha Grass Conservation
Kill all the rabbits in the area. I'd estimate they have ~1600hp, and they don't link. Pretty straightforward.

Rabbits had about 2k and did link actually heh

[Spoony Bob]

guess i screwed up when mixing the samples, as i got no reward other than LC rank up.

I used 5 then 4, got the message that it looked like mythril and stopped since the solution i was making mythraline liquid... Wish they would've given a bit more info on what the sample was supposed to look like.

[Theraven]

Yea I did. Here's the steps I took.

1. Collected five samples
2. Took them to the lady to make the sample (ended up with platinum)
3. She said she would report the results to Naja
4. Went back and talked to the NPC guy who gave the quest, he said something about hope naja is happy and that's it
5. Went to talk to Naja still says what she been sayin for months (happy I walked in her door.)
6. Waited 1 ingame day and talked to the guy again and nothing.
7. Went back and talked to the alchemy lady who still says she'll report the results to Naja.

On another note. She said it will take a day. I don't know if this means 1 ingame day or 1 earth day. However I assume ingame since the topic creator said he did one of the new ones on the day of the update.

Any further advice would be greatful. Thanks again.

This happened to me. Make sure you zone out of whitegate, then zone back in and you should get the cutscene

Baron one was a joke, we killed with 3 melee and 1 blm in about 30sec. It warped a few feet away at 10%

Rabbit were linking, but they seem glitched. I think they are suposed to mvoe toward to patch of grass in the center of the area or something, but they didnt do anything.



For the steal supply one, we brought back 4 and asked the npc to end the assault at 30sec. The rune popped and we won. I'm not sure exactly what you have to do to win, but we got it.

[Kuropiko]

Some guy in my LS did the same, stopped the process with gold, no cut scene. You have to do it over and get at least Platinum. Then you'll get a cut scene next in-game day at Naja's office.

[nivlakian]

...

Rabbits had about 2k and did link actually heh

I estimated 1600 based on Burst 2 damage, but if it's 2k then so be it. They are pretty easy to kill. As for the linking, we opened up with sleepgas to start and rabbits seemed to be moving around them but not linking to them ... perhaps I'm mistaken though, sorry.

I stopped mine at gold and got the CS/rank up. Test tubes: 1 > 3 > 5 > 2 is what I used.

[genome]

I mixed heaviest. You can add up to 6 of 1/3 of each flask, which like the NPC reminds everyone, is 2 full flasks (6 * 1/3 = 2).
I added 3 heaviest from 1 flask, and 3 more from the 2nd heaviest, i got gold, platinum, platinum, platinum as I kept adding, and later got a CS and 1 single gold coin.

[Kuropiko]

Really odd... I think my friend had to do it all over again. Meh... Still better to use Jeryhn's formula, 2 gold pieces are a nice bonus for mog locker expansion lol.

I personnaly did 3 > 5 > 1 > 2 > 4, got Platinum, stopped here and got 3 silver coins, different from Genome who also had Platinum so there could be different "Gold" levels including one that's not okay.

[NynJa]

ENough of this "how to milk as many gold coins as possible in the stupid upgrade mission" and more Assault stuff.



Did Periquia (Red Baron) and Leujaoam (Coney's) tonight.

Red Baron is an Imp, does usual Imp stuff, and it likes to warp around. You'll most likely need a /smn or /rng, since you only have 15 min and the maps pretty big. There are Pugils around, but they're sleepable. Parser tells me around 13500 hp. Dunno about the pugils, they waste time. Rune pops at I-8, up top. Reward: ??? Bow -> Longbow+1 yay



The Leujaoam one puts you against a fkload of coney's spread around the map. They con DC, so even sushi lovers can get away with using meat (wish I knew this ahead of time). They hit pretty hard though for DC's. After a certain amount of time fighting em, they'll run away, and if you let it run, it will regen HP. Rune pops at I-8.

We had a pld with double minne voke one and run around and link them all and then -ga3ed them

[fumbletweed]

Baron didnt seem to show up on scan when we did this, but was still an easy win.

The coneys behave very strangely - after the first few started linking, BRD horde lullabies and suddenly ~10 more coneys come running, kill the brd then run away.

[Suiram]

Worth mentioning maybe that the LC-Leujaum (Coneys) one gave 1401 for 6 people for first win, which means it would have been 934 without the 50% first-win bonus. Once someone figures out the new point split with 4-6 people, can figure out how that rates against the older missions' new point values and the Corporal mission's value. I forgot to write down the ones for Baron and Mamools but Baron's was definitely less and Mamool's I believe was too.

However, Mamool was weird in that it gives you the option to "Give up" after you return a set of supplies, so I don't know if it's maybe possible that the number you return affects your point reward, or if you simply lose if you don't turn in enough.

Also regarding Coneys linking, when I sleepgaed the group at the start one did link and come hit me a couple times shortly after, but later when Niv and I split off from the others to ga3 a set, the ones nearby didn't link for some reason, even though they were at pretty much the same distance, so that's probably where the confusion lies.

The switches can be in different places for lebros

FYI, I dunno if it was like this before, but with 4 people were only getting a 35% first win bonus.

So far w/ 4 people: (w/o bonus) (off the top of my head, but I think these are right)

Shanarha Grass Conservation: 1200
Breaking Morale: 1000 (returned 3 boxes)
Evade and Escape: 1000
Shooting Down the Baron: 1100
Demolition Duty: 1000 (destroyed all the wreckage)

You watch an autistic stickfigure slapbox broken wood and the amount of them he does = the amount of points you get. Good trend in these is assaults that give you not a hard requirement but bonus points depending on how well you do with an optional win choice. They put them in the 2 more commonly done areas too. But watching rere here fight broken tables != fun (PS the tables are EVIL so it's ok). Easy enough, just keep the crabs and imps off of your pet doofus.

[Vile]

Those tables had a bad case of crabs.

[Ryko]

I guess we'll do 2 corporal assaults later today and add to this topic.

[Vile]

Don't think we'll have the tags for 2.

[Ryko]

Didnt we only do 3 last night? 1 left over and 24 hours... y'know what? It's highly likely someone else forgot to take a buffer tag (myself included >_>) so some of us will only have one or some shit
