Celestial Tiger Information

sangodoc

Some other details:

There is also an NPC to start the Celestial Tiger Event in West Archosaur.

In the first round there are different levels of tiger mobs you can go after; I saw level 30, 50 and 100 ones. So make sure you find ones that are appropriate to your level.

You need to make a minimum of 2,000 contribution points for your effort to count for something.

There are also some kind of glowing tiger herbs you can mine for contribution points, though it seems that there is a max level for some of them. The ones I was mining were worth 120 contribution points each.

Any specific info on where to find the bosses in the second round?

Also, if anyone wants to contribute to the wiki on this topic, here's the starter page: Celestial Tiger Event

I noticed one big change between this event and the nein event.

Someone over vent pointed this out. She was with her interval hubby and when they killed the boss, he got well over 8k contribution, while she only got 200-something. If someone else can confirm that squadding for this event past the mob part isn't going to help their contribution (read: no point siphoners), then...b:victory good job on that.

I got a few mirages (as if I need anymore--thanks TW!), 25 celestial insignias, 1 exp orb, and 50 event gold. I was 5th place in psys.

www.pwdatabse.com has been updated with the recent additions to PWI.

Here is a link to Celestial Insignia page from which you can find the coin fees attached to the various things you'd want to trade for.

I looked up Wings of Cloudcharger:

2,667 Celestial Insignias and 40m coin fee.

So jungle ruins gives insignias too? 40m fee for cloudcharger is still whack though. That's like 170m total. b:shocked

Anyone have a list of where the Celestial Tigers bosses spawn?

Ya know, I gave up on the Nein event after several weeks of it due to the **** rewards (non-tradeable esos), but after reading this thread it seems that non -int. toons actually win out on the lower ranking rewards.

I might actually attend this weeks Tiger event and see what's what.

Yea, top 15 of each class have a shot at Ecstasy Cards and some will argue getting 11th or lower have better rewards than top 10 too.

That's all the more reason to attend it then. I always got around 15th in my class during Nein event.

I think it's best if no one post any information regarding the exact location of the bosses in the 2nd round anywhere in this forum or wiki. SO PLEASE DON'T ANY ONE DO THIS! In fact, I think it would be even better if the event had those bosses spawn at random location each time just like those rare veno pets. Besides, it really wasn't that much of a challenge to find them with so many people partaking in the event the first time. It will offer more randomness so it's not as monotonous, and perhaps even make it more of a fair event for everyone, particularly those that don't have 5 aps.

I am certain that those people are tired of seeing the same 5 aps chars/higher levels/better gear always placing top in the rankings. With the location of the bosses being undisclosed, it will mean that people will have to search for it, which is best done in a squad. This will foster more socialization in the event, and also help with restricting the max potential amount of points that those 'said chars' can earn. The more time they spend looking for the bosses, the more chance that others have in gaining more points if they find the bosses first. Sure, this does not mean that an Axe BM will have a chance at 1st place in his/her class against a fist BM, but the points earned may make a difference with other bms that have similar gears/build/level. This type of randomness in my opinion is much better than the random 0-2000 contribution points you get at the end, since this depends on the effort of your squad to find the beasts besides just lucky random generated numbers.

Having the location of those bosses made known will just make the event less fun by taking away that exploration part. I know those exact coordinates are not going to be kept in the dark from everyone for long, but just let it be the way it is for now. Forming search parties, and venturing into those familiar landscapes that we first saw in our early levels.

If this event is permanent, someone should also post the guide in the Quest Tips Forums, because there's little to no information on exactly where the bosses spawn. It would be very helpful for a lot of players including me.

Maybe you should read the post I had typed previously on why this should not be done -.- Yeah, it would be alot helpful, for mainly 5 aps players like you to **** more points than needed and make it unfair for most others.

It'd be more fruitful to have them spawn in random places. Even if you try to hide that information from the forums, factions and friends will eventually fill in the blanks for each other, which means large factions will get the first scoop on the complete "map" of the spawns, which disadvantages the average player anyways. I like your idea, I really do, but I just don't think it will accomplish what you hope it will accomplish. Like I said, I'd prefer them spawn in random places each time myself.

Right... how is it unfair if everyone in the general public has access to general information? People who deal more damage deserve more contribution. But let's see, I understand your viewpoint too. You don't want people who deal more damage to earn more points because getting more points than others is unfair. You might as well hand out 200 #1 prizes if everyone were to have the same points. *facepalms*

It's a competition; why shouldn't all players get as many points as they can? You have to understand it's not like people who aren't 5 aps won't get anything out of it. You get prizes for top 20. Giving out prizes to people who haven't earned it would be what's unfair. People who invest a lot of time and effort into their gear and do well in these events isn't unwarranted.

You clearly haven't seen the people who log on their alts, squad their alts and then 5aps their alts into the top ten of their class, have you?

Until you actually learn about some of the things a few of the 5aps people do which, yes, DO let people get prizes for things they didn't earn, don't sit around here preaching everybody in the top ten of the events always earns their spot. I know plenty of people who don't.

Not on bosses, I believe. But I was of the belief it still is on the mobs. You can still rack up a lot of points squadding with people who can tear through monsters fast.

Honestly I'm not sure about the mobs, but the bosses were a huge difference in and of themselves, because that's where the 5 aps really took the lead.

They're slightly disadvantaged on the mobs due to having to run to them. So idk if I care as much.

I'm pretty sure, after a few stories of people being in a squad and gaining contribution without doing anything, mobs are still shared contribution. And you clearly haven't considered the 5aps assassins or archers who can switch to long range for the mobs, have you? They're still pretty much 5aps players because they'll rarely use the ranged weapons, but you can still squad with them and get huge amounts of contribution for doing nothing.

Hmmm, I thought about it but it's hard for me to gauge being a wiz b:surrender

If there's more than one archer around I don't usually get more than a gush in per mob x.x

R U Dumb? You should really read up on the event more before you start trolling. I am one of those people that used to squad people, but there is no point anymore because the 5 aps contribution boost ONLY comes from the bosses, not mobs. First off, I can only get 5 aps from sparking, I am 3.33 base unsparked. Melees don't have time to spark on mobs... Second, 3.33 aps unsparked means nothing for mob kill count. I get KSed like crazy by Rank 8 / Nirvana +12 Archers than can Demon Spark 1 shot all my mobs from 20 meters away. Please tell me how I am going to boost someone's alt or my non-existent alt(I don't play alts) in squad when I can't even get kills myself?

When I squad with clerics/archers/wizards/venomancers/psychics for mobs, MY net contribution goes up, theirs go down. Range classes always get the advantage for mobs because they get first hit, which is usually more than half the mob's total HP.

No one cares about where the mobs spawn, the guide is for where the bosses spawn. That's where the biggest contribution comes from.... the bosses. And guess what? Contribution isn't shared on bosses anyways, so a guide for the bosses won't benefit any alts that don't deserve it.

General public as in what? Everyone who plays the game? You do know that a majority of the people who plays this game - even lvl 100+ don't even use this forum and not all share info they find on this forum with their friends in game because of greed. Instead, they keep it secret to benefit themselves. That's one unfair reason that I gave to you. Posting those location will only make it unfair for a majority of the people who don't use this forum.

You say "People who deal more damage deserve more contribution." Higher levels typically do more damage. 5 aps chars do insanely high damage. Most 5 aps chars and - 45+ % channeling cash shop their way (not all though) . I don't know about you, but I am sure people who are under level 80, non 5 aps lvl 100 chars, and those who don't cash shop for power don't agree with that statement 100% unless you reword it. Usually, 5 aps chars are placed at least top 20 anyway. Why does an event such as this has to be about those few people? Be considerate of other classes.

You ask me "You don't want people who deal more damage to earn more points because getting more points than others is unfair?" No, that's not what I meant, nor was it the main reason for my suggestion. I advocated not posting those boss locations on the forum, because it will result in people hunting for the bosses - similar to as if it was randomly spawned (but not quite because once you know where it is, this randomness disappears for that person or if you know it from someone else). All this does is affect the time a person can spend DD'ing a boss and this gives others (especially non 5 aps chars and low levels) a chance to change their rank significantly. If you had noticed, the score margin between a 5 aps and a none 5 aps is huge, but the difference is not much for 2 people in the same class who are both non 5 aps. A few minutes for a lvl 90+ mage spent DD'ing the boss is alot and can fetch around 2000+ points. A Veno friend of mines dropped from 3rd to 15ish rank because she only had about 100 random contribution points. This gives you a scale of how much 1000 pts can affect non fist/claw classes. Each minute a 5 aps char does not spend on a boss, the more chances other classes and non 5 aps to gain more points.

Public access is for everyone on the forums. When you downloaded the game and agreed to the TOS, you should already have a forum account made. It's their own fault if they don't read forums; no one's gonna spoon feed everything in the news in real life to people. It's fair if people who don't use what's available to their best advantage get screwed over. That's life. You don't complain that more educated people in real life are making more money than you, or that's it's unfair that people smarter than you get better opportunities for colleges and scholarships.

The event isn't intended to be random spawned bosses. Bosses will always spawn in the same spot. You should take your own advice, and stop trying to keep the locations a secret. With your failed logic, no one should ever write anything on the forums, no announcements, no guides at all, because it gives an unfair advantage to people who read the forums.

Of course the losers (or people who were out-competed) aren't going to agree. The event is about CONTRIBUTION, not certain people. If certain people CONTRIBUTE MORE to the killing of bosses, they should get more points. If people aren't gonna do any damage, they aren't contributing to the overall kill, and shouldn't get anything. Again with your fail logic, let's try to be considerate to my alts too K? My level 80 alts all need prizes too. Don't DD so fast mang, my level 80 alt isn't getting a prize.

Please be considerate to other classes? Do you not realize the prize distributions are class specific? My 5 APS DDing BM won't affect the prizes of wizards/clerics/venomancers that don't use my weapon. I only compete against the same class, not other classes. People doing BETTER damage and BETTER overall contribution to the event should be getting BETTER rewards. That's just how competition works. The BEST competitor who deals the BEST damage for each class, will get the BEST rewards.

Take it from a biology standpoint; only the organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and transmit their genetic characteristics in increasing numbers to succeeding generations while those less adapted tend to be eliminated. People with greater niches than you (your character class), will compete for the same resources (event prizes). The better competitors get more resources, the ones who fail to compete will die out.

If you deal enough damage to rank in top 20 you can. I'm not a cash shopper and I don't rank in top 5 for my class in the event, but my damage is still sufficient enough to compete; therefore, I will get a split of the resources.

Xarathox - Dreamweaver

Well, I won't be doing this event ever again.

I want my 30 mins back for that **** fest. Ranked 23'd in my class and got 0 prizes for my efforts. Once again, only cash shoppers get to "win".

It's not "impossible". It's just that you need to have one of the highest DPS's on your server to compete. And that usually entails being a 5.0 aps class, or a heavy cash shopped mage class.

It's a damage-based event, so yeah, pretty much. And honestly, there's quite a few events that are possible to participate in if you're lower level. It's just that you won't win, nor will you gain significant rewards.

The only one I can really think of where you have an equal shot at the top prizes is the Jungle Ruins event, since that appears to be more about luck, skill, and patience.

Also, I finished 8th in Archers on Harshlands, and got 12 Celestial Insignias. Wasted a fair bit of time at the beginning trying to find the NPC, then the mobs though, and I think with proper planning I could manage a bit higher. Non-cash-shopper, though I am a reasonably competent merchant and have a +6 Lunar Bow, Demon Quickshot, and -0.20 of interval not including the bow.

Oh finally, I believe as long as you have over 2000 contribution points you get one of these. That's basically a 60% chance of 1.5 free Hypers and a 20% chance of 2 free Hypers. I fail to see what's so bad about that, though I don't know how difficult it is to get over 2000 points without being a high level.

As a non cash shopper with 3.3k HP and 1.2k or so pdef with my channelling gear on (proper gear with 3.8k and 4.3k pdef) , I ranked 9th (I think) after random contribution.

Personally I felt I did poorly compared to the first time I did this event as I picked a spot with a lot of competition.

Unfortunately seeing as this is still early days for this event, it is hard to understand where is a good spot to be.

I'm sorry that you didn't do as well as you hoped to.
