Campaign - 3/23/10 Update

[Tachi]

Anyone know what to do for the new available ops "Frozen Flame"? Snolls are mentionned in the log and they are presents in Castle Zvahl Baileys, their Self-Destruct is probably needed but make them explode near of a Fortilace doesn't seems to work.

[Yugl]

Oh collective action problem, how you confront me again. I really want to see San D Oria take over all areas (BST/Kindred included) even if that doesn't include the Bastok/Windurst regions.

Edit: What rank is "Prying Eyes II"?

[Airget]

I got Prying Eyes II from the latest medal I was able to get Dawnlight Medal $$$. It's under Intel gathering. There is also another new Op under intel gathering called "Frozen Flames" however I am confused as to what to do exactly.

It mentions how Snoll are being used as explosive weapons and that we should sabotage them by using their own weapon against them. Now it may be required to have the snoll explode by the fortulace however duo the pull is hard to pull off because the only snolls I've seen are the Icefalls at the start of the Baileys leading up to the dark spark gate where all the campaign mobs gather. The map that Gwynplaine shows where those Zvahl things are and if you get a snoll to explode by one it might lead to a success in the Op.

One thing to mention though is aside from the demons that wander near but don't go in aggro range by the Zvahl on the side during Ice weather, ice elementals may spawn by the 2 Zvahls before the dark spark gate

lol totally missed Tachi's response, so exploding them by the fortilace didn't work? Hm well to get rid of other ideas I've tried checking the ??? for the Prying Eyes II at H-7 by the Fortulace on the second map and for the other ??? you have to first drop off in between the two flames at the lower left side of the Garguille area at H-7, run in and there will be another Fortulace along with demons and a ??? by a bunch of crates at H-8 of map 3.

I checked those 2 ??? under Frozen Flames and I also checked the ??? in the keep on map 2 past the Garguille/Quadav or Orcish/Yagudo route depending on which route you take and I got nothing of interest checking it. I also checked all over the keep so ya I'm totally stumped with Frozen Flames lol

[Karbuncle]

Thankfully "walk up and buy it with no effort" doesn't mean "bend over backwards".

wasn't even directed at you, your post above mine was pure coincidence

Edit: Maybe try throwing a Snoll Arm @ the Fortilace/Fortifications >.>?

My bad, then.

Well, since in Garlaige and Eldieme, you can get tags and then have the beastman attack wave come rushing through and gank you, is very not fun.
(Had Gigas do it to me in Eldieme back when WotG came out, and it happened just today with Vee Qiqa the Decrier in Garlige)

If it happens to you in Garliage then you're not very observant, given the fact that from the spawn point to the C.A, you're walking the same path where the wave would be coming in from. If no mobs are around that gives you plenty of time to get your tags and move on. Just gotta be careful with your surroundings before you tag up.

Garlaige citadel S is the best place to do campaign battle alone.

The mobs there are summoners so they are ridicuosly easy to solo for almost any job. (Their only tp moves are feather storm, parry, and the kick attakcs dmg and sweep)

Almost no one gones there ( i dont know why <.<)

So u can easily solo like 4 or 5 yags and get 6k exp.

And yes as they said the key is get used and know from where the mobs come.


I have one question btw.... Have u ever tried pulling the mobs to the npcs when the beastmen have the area?

I did this assuming this wil help taking the area but for some reason i noticed after the npcs killed like 4 or 5 mobs they start runing to the fort no matter what and agro everything... so the efforts doing that are useles >< anyone know whats the reason of that?

[Phoenixtail]

I went to check out the Fortilaces. They're very weak, 4 T3 nukes destroys them. Going by .dats there's 8 in Baileys, and 8 in Keep. Destroying one reduces that areas fortification level by 2. I don't know how long they take to respawn but they weren't up 12 mins later. I found 5 of the 8 in Baileys and only one in Keep. There was no campaign going on and reducing their lvl didn't seem to increase influence at all. But I wonder if this can help toward taking them over if Campaign is going on. They might make owning the areas slightly less impossible.

Spoiler: show

Edit: Posted right after above post, interesting. I'll try that Ops.

Two of the fortilice are very easy in the keep. They're to the left and right of the first teleporter. In the room with the 5 teleports.

[Raelia]

Just got my Medal of Altana. Everyone still give you that 'rookie' shit.

Didn't see if Slaughterhouse IV opened up on this medal or the prior, but its new.

Might get the regain backpiece and let everyone know what the tp/tick is. Better be 3+ or I'm gonna be pissed at dumping so much AN on it. WS Weapons don't interest me, because AoE like that would be suicide for a non-NPC.

[Kegsay]

Regain back is 1TP/tick.
Refresh neck is 1MP/tick.
Regen ring is 3HP/tick.
WSes are semi-crap, mediocre damage on WS (200~400), but they exhibit weird spikes in damage? Alla has a thread on it.

[Gwynplaine]

So then Allied Ring isn't available at top Medal rank either? Eff...

Looking more and more like Shadow Lord OP reward.

[lolwut]

Campaign, I am disappoint. Anyone have access to the weapons for real testing?

Slaughterhouse IV opened up I think after the 2nd to last rank. I accidentally chose that one instead of III and then realized that you have to go to the Northlands to use it. It does give a higher exp reward of ~460 exp.

I've been hearing crap damage so far. Uriel Blade for about 300-400 damage sometimes only for double digit numbers. The same goes for Glory Slash. The STaff WS does 0 damage, just puts mobs to sleep and inflicts the status effect and returns 0 TP.

[Amedia]

Uriel Slash was doing 60ish to orcs and gnoles. did 20-30 on Shadowwing batallion. Skillchains light with itself and Glory slash also appears possible to do AoE light(I didn't think that was possible, someone correct me). I can pretty safetly say not str based. was almost no variation from +20 str or +80. It seemed to me to add alot of hate, I would keep hate on multi mobs with it.

Yes I was reading that it did an additional effect of aoe-flash which seems to give a large amount of enmity. Not sure how true it was but the aoe-light is pretty bad ass if true

[toqabowl]

Kinslayer: Baileys has opened up on Quetz under Offensive Ops(I assume its control of both xarc/beauc, and max rank)

edit: this op reads "This operation requires you to eliminate the Dark Kindred stationed in the Castle Zvahl Baileys."

[Vendeenster]

Didn't even know Uriel Blade was AoE when I used it the first time... of course I died horribly. Dmg isn't good but god it looks great.

[Snick]

I'm pretty sure its Starlight Medal, I was on that when update hit and I'm pretty sure I had it available then, it had been over 20 days since my last evaluation so I had to work my ass off to get Moonlight, and I think I remember seeing it then.

It definitely is at least Moonlight.

[takito09]

This is stupid.... lets see the description of "Tartarus torpor"

Deals damage to all opponents in an area of effect. Additional effect: Sleep & Magic Evasion Down

Wheres my f...king dmg?
