Campaign discussion

Just stay away from zones which have a shitload of NPC's.

Do some zones always have lots? Or does it vary?

Pretty sure it varies, but usually zones that are "defending" have more NPCs, so going on the offensive usually nets better points.

Really, really annoyed at the change in Campaign.

Ronf, 20 minutes spent, the NPCs all killed the mobs before I could get a swing in. (Had buffed myself and NPCs while waiting.) 0 reward.

Bat Downs, 35 minutes spent. NPCs kiled the mobs before I even saw them. (Had buffed while waiting.) 20 XP.

What's the point? I lost AN by doing these (teleported out to Bat Downs = 80 AN cost).

Isn't it 50 AN to teleport?

Depends on the zone, who controls it, and whether or not Campaign is happening.

It varies based on where you port. I 've ported to some places for 10 and others for 90. Probably has to do with distance and if the area is Beastmen controlled or owned by a Nation.

(Note, Bastok moral is minimal, causing NPCs to flee).

So that's how morale works. We decimated one Yagudo NM's squad, and he booked for the hills at around one-third health so fast even the defenders lost him.

[Tyrath]

Does anyone know how to do the evaluations for getting higher medals? Can't seem to find the NPC in bastok ; ;


Edit: Nvm, FOund her.


Said I can't apply for another day. Anyone know why that might be??

[mdkuser]

I'll post how a friend of mine and me managed to lower fortifications with only 2 people, in sauromugue champaign. It was odd but works.

First we noticed that Mithran NPCs will always attack the mobs at the tower with yagudos, and get raped in a matter of seconds.

So the next campaign battle we did the following:
rdm aggro all the 20 yags there and kite them very far away making a loop so that none come back to the tower. Me as BLM stayed at teh tower to sleep, kite possible yags that loose aggro ( BLM mobs and NIN mobs, easy to kite).

It works wonder. And when the NPCs poped they didn't go after the yags, they directly attacked the tower, while normal players couldn't attack it (was not targetable). There were like 15 mithra rangers attacking the tower without getting endangered by any yags there. We managed to lower fortifications from 150 to 120 in 2 campaign battles, but after we left they increased again because people didn't keep the strategy going.

[Lucavi]

Yes, we used a similar strat. for Rolanberry with the quadav -- sleeping and kiting seems to be the best strat, but your random Joeblow PCs will just run right in seeking quick xp and not a win, and will just fight things, get killed, and spam the blms with requests for raises.

A few people are starting small linkshells devoted to winning these battles with strategy -- I'm hoping a bastokan one starts, so I can join it and help the cause.

Oh thanks ^^

[Mertron]

Anyone else get more than 600xp from a battle? I just got 700exp/581 notes from a battle in Jugner >.> Cant think of a reason why.

Did you rank up your bronze ribbon of service yet?

[Mertron]

Yeah I ranked up to brass ribbon. Just got 700 exp again in Vunkerl this time so assuming its more exp cap as you rank up?

Dear Sandoria,

I was fighting alongside your troops to take an outpost in Jugner forest region, when Orcs and Gnoles outnumbered us. In an effort to turn the fight in our favor, I tried casting a powerful spell to put those beasts to sleep. Miraculously, the spell was succesful and incapacited 15 of their units....for at least 2 seconds until the leader of the squadron decided it would be funny to wake up everyone with Blizzaga II. Weakened by my wound, I attempted to cast a final spells to save us all, but our wonderful friend accompanied it with the infamous Circle Blade attack. 15 sec later, all of us were lying on the ground dead. Fix this please.

what POS is the main battle usually at?

[Lyramion]

Anyone find out the time you need to be in possession of an Allied Tag to get the 600 cap? 10 minutes around maybe?



Anyway I found a lazy way to cap my exp on whm. All i needed was some devotion gear and some zenith. Swap each otehr out and I was able to cure 5 myself over and over to cap EXP in the timeframe I had the tag. You can do this even when there is no mob around and all the BLMs are waiting around useless

[Stromgarde]

I know it's no greater than 15; Whether it's less I'm not certain.
