For all you west coast server people:

You start by talking to an NPC near the elder of the major towns. RT, Arch, ether, LC, and plume.

You kill mobs outside the city, there are no running quests.

After that there are 8 bosses, one demon one sage, outside of the major cities.


These thigns are NINJAS. We had 6 down after 20 minutes and spent half an hour looking for the last 2 on our server. They are in the vacinity of the cities but that is stretching it.

The hardest 2 are the last ones of ether and plume. The ninja for plume is on the west bank near the city, near the FB19. Not sure where the ether ninja is.


Enjoy.



Oh, and for the last boss, all you people that plan on squadding some 5 aps BM or whatever, forget it.

    P.S. Rewards require you to pay coin along with reward shards, and they suck in general. Boxes are not stashable.

    Huh? What does that mean? You get something and you have to pay coins to open it?

    Question!

    Is it like Nien in the way each class has it's own ranking/reward list? Or a shared list like PQ? =O

    Apologies if this was stated already...but haven't payed much attention, thinking it was gonna be a palette swapped Nien Quest. X_X

    He means this. The celestial insignias/shards require you to pay a coin fee to redeem them for prizes from the mailbox. I only got 15 so far so I haven't been able to check but so far it doesn't seem to be as bad as chips where you can pay 11mil for a 4mil cape of tauran chieftain mold.

    When you finish you get 10 packs similar to the ones from NQ.

    I got second in my class, most packs contained 5 mirages, one contained an orb of cultivation, another contained 5 hypers, and 3 packs gave me 5 celestial insignias. These insignias are tradeable.


    Oh and you need 2667 to get a wings of cloudcharger, start saving up.

    The other ninja is arguably not even in Etherblade at all: it's in Timberfield. Like seriously, just tele to timberfield and head south.

    Pointless to save for a cloudcharger this way.
    1- You don't know if it'll be 2, 3 or 4 sockets.
    2- It'll take 13.3 months if you get 50 each week
    3- At 50k each mat, it'll cost you 133m to buy

    Also, one benefit of this event compared to the nien event:


    The mob round is LONG. 5000 mobs need to die and you'll probably earn way more contri killing mobs than you will killing the bosses. This prevents people from partying a -interval player to boost their score, since now they can't just go AFK on a single target for ten minutes and rack up points: everyone's gotta keep moving and keep hunting mobs.

    You just wait by the elder of archosaur or one of the four race cities. An NPC will spawn and you talk to it to pick up two quests.


    Afterwards, just kill mobs. This event is different in the sense that you can't really get a ton of contri by questing, so just kill as much as you can.

    You get the insignias/shards from opening your reward packs.
    I got 2nd of venos and from my 10 packs I got:
    5 mirages
    1 ecstasy card
    25 celestial insignias (5 x 5 packs)
    1 tiger vendor shop ticket
    1 Demon/Sage Event Card
    2 x10 box of Mysterious Chips

    I'm still trying to figure out what the D/S Event Card is... You can exchange it as a Quest at the Boutique Agent for 50 event gold, but umm, I did that.. and I can't figure out where the event gold is... >_>

    Some get those Celestial Shards, 5 hyper stones...

    The insignias and shards can be exchanged for 2 different fashion sets (1 sage version, 1 demon version), 2 different tiger mount (1 sage, 1 demon), 2 different all class tiger pets (1 sage, 1 demon... very cute though :3), hyper stones... and other various smaller items. But, as mentioned above, it's much like the chip trade at the Mysterious Merchant... have a set number of chips + pay a fee. 17 insignias + 250k for the all class pet. And, I suppose the ultimate prize is Wings of Cloudcharger... for 2667 isignias and ??? fee.

    As NR said, the reward packs can't be account stashed (QQ), do give a small exp reward upon opening... The Celestial Insignias can be traded sooo, you can sell those to the impatient. ;)

    And, as Rawrgh said, those last 2 are freaking ninjas. x_x Etherblade demon boss is SW of Timberfield - just follow the path. Was pretty funny though, trying to figure out locations. Faction chat was.... eventful, to say the least. GL. :D

    If anyone finds something out about that Event Card, lemme know please. D:

    For the event gold - go to the boutique and click the middle button of the 3 in the top right corner. See if it's there.

    Also, it should be noted that this is where the event credits come from for the Event Boutique. A friend of mine was 7th for psychics and got 100 of them from the boxes at the end.

    The Event Gold is usable just like botique gold. Up in the right hand corner of the botique there are 3 little clickable symbols:

    1) Normal Botique (looks like a bag)
    2)Event Botique (Looks like a gem)
    3)Bidding hall (looks like a hammer)

    From what i understand, click the one that looks like a gem, and there will be your event gold, and you can buy anything as long as you have enough event gold.

    Where exactly are the mobs that spawn also? All around the outskirts of the city? Orr..

    Thank you Dyskrasia and Elvindor. b:thanks

    And to answer your question:
    I went to Raging Tides to kill mobs and they were pretty much everywhere. o.o Just head out the south gate. There's 5 different types of mobs you can kill w/ varying amounts of health and contribution (Alpha, Beta,.. etc.), Alpha being the hardest. Plume, just head out past the 2 bridges. Ether... south of the city, and I think up SW of Timberfield there were some too. Didn't get to see Arch or Lost mobs as those bosses were dead by the time RT's were, but I think it's the same location as the NQ mobs.

    Looks like they finally seem to be getting this PQ system right.

    +1 to them for making this event worth it without overdoing it and keeping it from having a ton of glaringly obvious faults.

    I'm happy with the fixes to contribution and quests they have made.

    But I have one quirk...

    The collect-able herbs.

    They spawn in small bunches and only one at a time, this is allowing some people to easily camp the herbs and haul in some contribution. (Second part herbs give you 120 contribution each. And they're in the safe zone so it's not like you can even pk people for them. And with no pressing timers these "farmers" can just stand there and get herb after herb.

    Please either make multiples spawn at one time or spread them out more b:surrender
