Campaign Ops Discussion

Just upgraded to Iron Emblem §§, which in turn unlocked Crimson Domino III. Nothing noticeably different from the past 2.

350 XP. 1000 AN.

I did Delta Strike III today - wasn't an easy fight.

You pop Goblins near the big slope in North Gustaberg [S]. ??? is at the tower with 2 normal Gobs roaming.

The party consisted of 3 ppl - me (THF/NIN), PLD/WAR (a friend with Aegis ), and WHM/BLM.

We cleared normal Gobs, charged TP to 300%, popped mobs. 3 Goblins appear - RDM, WAR and RNG. WHM used Ele Seal + Sleepga. We started to kill RDM first. Then pulled back a bit because 2 normal Gobs repopped (and they WILL aggro). We killed RDM, then we took on RNG, and WAR was last. Mobs very pretty tough and we ended with low MP (WHM and PLD). I think they would con EM-T to 75.

Each party member got 360 exp points (after clicking ??? again) and I got 1020 Allied Notes.

Also - Iron Anvil III appeared on my list (and it wasn't there when I ranked up to Emblem 2).

I can't speak for Gustaberg, but in Ronfaure where I did Delta Strike III, none of the goblins there aggro at lvl75. But they do link with the Goblin Picaroons.

[huckster]

Yeah - that's what I meant - they'll link.

Back on the Aegis Scream question. Is there anyone who has access to II and III who has only done the first one maybe once at most? I've only done the first one once just to have done it, but am beginning to wonder if I need to do it more to unlock the higher tiered ones. Same goes for Pit Spider and Granite Rose for that matter.

[Xanthe]

I've completed Smokescreen I-III and Aegis Scream I-III, and only done each once. I've only done Pit Spider I and Granite Rose I once, but have access to all 3 levels.

[BRP]

Do you think we should start comparing national strategies and available ops?

[Hanyoko]

I love doing Iron Anvil III, however i've also experienced the "disappearing" bug. I find that if i do lower tier ops the higher ones start to appear again. Its almost like behind the scenes there is a point system to try and balance out tag usage across the different tiers. After doing two Material Storm I many of my OPs were back; however after doing another Iron Anvil III some were no longer present, but more were avail then before i did the material storms.

[Kyreth]

IMHO, it's a progression in how the system works. I think...

...resource generation spawns missions for supplies/training crafters. It'd explain why we see so many other missions fall off the charts.

If there's enough resources, that mission stops popping. If there's not enough crafters to make supplies, they stop shipping. If there's not enough resources for the crafters, they stop shipping, and new units (reinforcements) aren't generated so that mission goes down the tubes, too.

Everything's linked to something else- if it's exhausted, /wave mission type. Figuring out which goes to which is the confusing part.

:ashira: anybody know why i cant access some of teh CAMP.OP missions?

Not all operatiosn are always available depending on the current state of your nation/world. For instance Smokescreen, Hawk Eye, and Slaughterhouse all need a beastmen controlled stronghold in your 1/3 of the world.

Or it could be randomly dissapearing ops bug. Which ones do you think you're missing?

[Anekei]

A note about Aegis Scream III:

I just finished this one. To complete it, I got a total of 5190 exp and 2607 allied notes. Looks like it's probably 5000 exp and 2500 allied notes to complete it.
I did die during one of the campaign battles and I was still able to complete it, so dying with the allied tags doesn't affect it.

[Bakthi]

Smokescreen III seems to be significantly fewer points. I won it with one 1500 exp battle and one 800-ish one; I don't remember the AN unfortunately. This was just AFK beating on the Garlaige fortification from behind it, since I was trying to get other stuff done at the same time. It's possibly somewhere around 2000 exp/1000-1500 AN to complete.

Has nobody still been able to do Hawk Eye or Slaughterhouse in dungeon-type zones? Because a) that's annoying, and b) I don't know why they'd do that. To give us incentive to lose in easier zones? I'm hoping that either something else is the obstacle, they'll change it, or they'll add Northlands campaign areas that are hard enough to be lost periodically and also allow these ops.

OMG STOP REPEATING THIS THEORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, but people have been repeating the same theory since I mentioned it like 4 pages ago. Read the damn thread and stop giving the same theory over and over again.

[Not Kuno]

I think it's true. I've seen the synth ones not be up, then I got supplies and suddenly they reappeared (and I did them before they vanished lol).

[BRP]

Our Campaign Ops page is almost complete! You can help out by looking over it to see if there are any mistakes(especially the medals part).

I need some of the following details:

The medals and EXP/AN reward of the following Ops
*Granite Rose III
*Pit Spider III
*Hawkeye III
*Slaughterhouse II (Am I going crazy or did they put these back in?)
*Slaughterhouse III (")
*Brave Dawn III

[Ryushii]

I think it's true. I've seen the synth ones not be up, then I got supplies and suddenly they reappeared (and I did them before they vanished lol).

I never said it wasn't true, in fact I was one of the first people to suggest it on this forum. My point is that people keep suggesting the same theory over and over again that has already been suggested. Everyone keeps thinking they have this original idea, but it's been said. I'm so tired of reading the same theories, or crap ideas in the SCH thread, in most of the posts in this section...

To BRP: 90% sure they haven't reinstated the Slaughterhouse set yet.

wtf? I just got that too

Kind of on topic... ranked up to copper emblem this week, and still missing majority of the ops. Also, I timed out twice on Crystal Fist III... _._ I use a computer to look up recipes, and apparently, it takes too long.

Same. I have a feeling it wants you to pace yourself; aka you can't take 15 seconds looking up the crystal then 1 second each on the rest. Or that marginal 5 seconds extra spent when looking it up has taken a bit longer actually matters. 1/3
