Campaign OP Adjustments

[Max™]

Any idea how to do those beastmen stronghold BCNM OPs?


Yagudo Karasutengu
DEF:18 INT+3 Spell interruption rate down 15% Campaign: Adds "Refresh" effect
Lv. 73 MNK/WHM/RDM/THF/PLD/BST/BRD/DRG/SMN/BLU/COR/PUP/DNC

Orcses Orcish Gauntlets
DEF:23 HP+30 VIT+3 Campaign: Adds "Regen" effect
Lv. 71 WAR/MNK/RDM/THF/PLD/DRK/BST/BRD/SAM/NIN/DRG/BLU/COR/DNC

Quadav Balestarius
DMG:88 Delay:504 VIT+8 Physical damage taken -8% Campaign: Occasionally attacks twice
Lv. 74 WAR

Only place for these that makes any sense now.

Dear Square:

Please revert campaign back to what it was before patch. Now I'm sure you didn't intend for people to spam fortification for exp but nobody cares what was intended because that was the best way to get exp without dealing with idiots. Also apparently it sucks for lower levels now. Well that's great that you're excluding lower levels, but that's one of the reasons it was so popular. Instead of penalizing people for doing low demand + popular Campaign Ops, just make the reward for high demand Ops more then 50%. Reward people for doing whats needed instead of penalizing people for what they can do on their own. People do things because it benefits them, and the reason that goes away nobody cares anymore.

I hope you're reading this,

Exactly how i'm feeling about that changes they did to campaign. Campaign itself is geard towards high level players only now, but those don't care that much about campaign to begin with. And forcing people to do certain things for Campaign OPS instead of letting people just do what they want is a terrible idea. Noone want's to get schooled in a videogame and noone does boring missions that take 20 minutes to do for 170 exp. Only missions that give a little more exp now are those which require at least 3 people to do. But the reason noone does them is that getting 3 people and doing that mind numbing missions is in no worthwhile correlation to the 350 exp you'll get in the end.
SEs plan on how to animate players to do the OPS and put more effort in campaign will not work out. If you start to penalize and frustrate players, instead of putting more effort in it, they will stop to care about it at all.

I can confirm all of the Star levels reseting at the conquest tally. You just need to wait for ti to tally the campaign results, then you can snag some nice, quick, and easy Ops. I did 5 Hawk Eye III's for 4 Stars each. I recommend hoarding all your Op credits and spending as soon as you can on Sunday.

Or just say "fuck it" and go back to spamming quests that give Miratete's Memoirs every week.

I prefer doing Ops for the Allied Notes. 5.4k AN for 12~15mins of work is nice, especially if you need a lot of gear.

Seconded. How do you do these? Someone must have had access to them to say that they're Ops?

No? In the DAT Files there's a whole separate listing of Campaign Missions. Plucking Feathers, Cracking Shells, etc are listed there. We know it's a BCNM in the beastmen strongholds from the description, and looking at the NPC Listing of the Beastmen stronghold, we know that there is an Armoury Crate within these BCNMs.

That is what we can surmise without ever having access to these Campaign Op Missions. However, whether or not those items drop from them, that is somewhat more of a leap of faith. Not a very big leap, though, since they are prefixed with Orcish/Yagudo/Quadav

[miokomioko]

Isn't it still very possible that these BC Campaign Ops open up to Wing [SSSS] rank since it's literally impossible for anyone to have achieved that yet...?

Yep, that's entirely possible. I was just reminding him that nobody had to have access to a Campaign Op to confirm it's existence.

Orcish Gauntlets is the only one really prefixed, the other ones were him speculating.

Then he's a terrible person.

[miokomioko]

the fact that they even put "Orcish" on one of them and not all makes me suspect that they have not actually been implemented...

Nevermind, apart from Balestarius simply being a type of axe as far as I can see, Karasutengu refers to bird-like spirit monsters. Couldn't be any more yagudo.

Edit: Accidentally edited instead of quoted. D'oh.

The following Ops got a fourth tier:
Smokescreen
Aegis Scream
Stock and Awe
Materiel Storm
Crystal Fist
Iron Anvil

The following tier 1 Ops were added:

Prying Eyes

Prying Eyes I (S) Objective:
The war planning division is in
need of accurate details of beastman
camps in order to devise the next
large offensive. Infiltrate La Vaule
with the Knights of the Iron Ram and
obtain intel regarding both defensive
capabilities and weapon stores.

Unit Requirement: 1 member 3

By Light of Fire

By Light of Fire I (S) Objective:
Reconnaissance has indicated that an
Orcish assault force has set up camp
at Everbloom Hollow. Accompany the
Knights of the Iron Ram to the area in
question via the Vunkerl Inlet (J-7).
Locate and obliterate the campground.

Unit Requirement: 3?6 members 3

And, of course, the Beastmen BCNMs;

Splitting Heirs (S) Objective:
In response to our reclaiming of
regions surrounding the capital,
Darkheir Grradhod has organized his
surviving hordes to launch a mass
counter-offensive from La Vaule.
You are to neutralize this threat by
eliminating the Orc leader.

Unit Requirement: 1?6 members 3

I used the San d'Oria ones because they're first on the list, but the other nations read the same, with the obvious adjustments.

Also, I'm only Iron Emblem §§, so I have no clue when you gain access to the new Ops.

Something tell me it will open next week, when we get ronfaure back. Pretty cool if those ops drop the new "campaign weapon"

[Not Kuno]

I did prying eyes yesterday when I had 1 wing. Was super easy.

I've been stuck with Stock and Awe IV for a week now. The requested item is orc pauldron. Not one has been sold on any AH on any server. Anybody know where these drop?

I ended up spending 7 OP creds in a row bombing the tower in West Sarutabaruta- with a few friends. Started with 444exp, dropped down to just under 400 (and 3 stars) at the end.

Indeed, it seems worth it to save up and then go on a spree. Hello, DNC 23 and SCH 19.

[Khiinroye]

Last night:
Did a 5 star Stock and Awe -- 2 gnat wings, 553 xp, 1500+ notes
Then did 4 star Materiel storm -- tomato soup, 523 xp, campaign closed the OPs place so I went to bed without getting my notes.
