Campaign - 3/23/10 Update

**Lucavi** · 2010-03-23 14:18

Good to know SE hasn't changed shit in years. Not a knock against them, as Pld/Dnc actually was a lot of fun out there.

**Khajit** · 2010-03-23 14:25

you dont get points for buffs. SE nerfed that because people were botting brd songs for exp.

**Max™** · 2010-03-23 14:31

You do get points for buffs, but it's a smaller cap, and bard songs are 1 per song up to 25 max I think.

Buffs
Debuffs
Dmg Taken/Dealt/Cured
Enmity/Mob attention duration has something to do with it, gotten 1000 just for kiting a wave of mobs after I got Hermes' on my War and ran around like a retard for an entire battle.
Killshots have something to do with it
Raises/Status removal as well

Exp cap is twice AN cap, if you get 2350 Exp/2350 AN then your tag hasn't been on long enough to get all the Exp (shoulda been 4700 Exp/2350 AN), which isn't a big deal if you're just after AN.

Pld/Dnc with Atonement RAPEFUCKS shit inside out, I used to singlehandedly cut battles short in Garlaige by tearing through the yags two at a time.

Lots of weird info floating around.

**Lucavi** · 2010-03-23 14:41

Yeah, I remember switching from drg/sam to Pld/dance because something about it just felt "right" about the combo. Pure survivability in a game that's all about banding together for justice and whatnot... although jumping around like a fruit seemed weird at times.

Cant get Castle teleport?
Went there, tele'd back using the NPC, and doesnt appear on the list.
Normal?

**Rocl** · 2010-03-23 15:03

Why would you think there is a teleport to Castle Zvahl if there isn't one for Beadeaux, La Vaule, or Oztroja?

**SephYuyX** · 2010-03-23 15:04

Because I want to be special.

**Byrthnoth** · 2010-03-23 15:12

I generally cap xp/an on rdm/war. Put up phalanx. Berserk if no link, defender if linkga, just bother shit to death. If I could do nothing but fight I would expect 4k+ per hour, but generally they end and I have to waste time warping around.

**Spekkio** · 2010-03-23 16:11

sch can also do wonders in campaign if NPCs show up. bonk the acession button, followed by rapture, target a cluster of NPCs, cast cure4, get raped by the mobs as you've just managed to cap CE/VE in a single spell, then go unweak. by the time you unweak, you should have just about hung around long enough to be able to collect on all those AN/XP. cash out tags, get new tags, goto 10. lots of nice happy downtime too so you can read between big cures and such.

^This. SAM/DNC or MNK/DNC gives me good returns.

**takito09** · 2010-03-23 16:24

Btw no one talking about the new areas added in the past?

I went to throne room (s) and was atotal pain >< i died like 5 times.

You get 1 point per buff on yourself, 10-15 (not sure) to another person (including NPCs). If there's downtime in a beastman-controlled area, you can get more exp for buffing NPCs with Protect and Shell (any tier) than from actually beating on forts.

Also, you lose about 100exp for dying, but you gain 10% of the damage you take in exp, so you can still come out on top if you die as long as you started at full health, and curing yourself only increases the cure exp/damage taken exp so that dying doesn't hurt exp nearly as much. I still get good exp for soloing/tanking things even if I eventually die.

**naninani** · 2010-03-23 18:27

Aww...
none of the new weapons give Leonine Legfall? :[

**Karbuncle** · 2010-03-23 18:31

Im hoping they add more Campaign weapon/Skills later :\

Wouldn't mind Leonine Legflail or Bloody Quarrel

**SephYuyX** · 2010-03-23 18:33

Should of made the WSs unlockable for outside campaign by doing WSs during campaign. Assuming this isnt true already since no one hs one yet, but I doubt it.

**dannyl** · 2010-03-23 19:03

Campaign is one of those parts in the game where you can either love it or hate it.

I for one, love it, probably because of my playstyle and time availability. I play campaign strictly as WHM/SMN, and focus on melee and curing npcs and raising a lot of people who can't understand how aggro works or are simply too dumb and think they can take on many mobs.

Campaign will SUCK for you at the start, you just have to keep getting those rank up and your exp/limit points will increase with it. Understanding the pathways of the attackers is key, to avoid getting aggro and dying for stupid reasons. Pulling away mobs from NPC's is also keep, but don't hide them and be "that guy".

This is the first time I've read about the refresh tag idea every 10-15 minutes. I gotta say, i'm going to try that as I did notice a few times my limit points felt capped, even when I raised a grip of people in a short amount of time.

Below you'll find my best campaign. It consisted of 5-6 attack waves, and lasted about 1.5-2hrs.

Spoiler: show

**toqabowl** · 2010-03-23 20:51

any news on the strength of the shadowsoul battalion?

**Mifaco** · 2010-03-24 04:29

What was the point of having Campaign battles in these new zones?

Has any server ever taken Xarcabard?
