Assault on Archosaur...

Ajiuo - Harshlands

Now I've only ever taken part of the Tigers Event, so I really have no clue what to expect for the Assault on Archosaur event. (This will be my first time doing it since I've always been busy on Friday during the other ones. :x) I tried looking for a guide on it, but there's only a guide on Nein Beast event, are they perhaps the same thing but different name? (Even then, I'd ask guildies/friends but it is so hard to explain long things with a limit on the chatbox. -.-)
If not, will someone give me the lowdown on how it works? Considering the quest logs of events normally don't help at all... If it's possible, can I get coords on things like mobs (and their corresponding levels)/bosses? Thanks in advance.

what can you expect? like every other mass event:
1. lag.
2. op classes setting up aoe's making all the kills.
3. a few sins fighting for aggro on the final boss.

All in all: a waste of time unless you're one of the top 0.05% of the server

Just stand outside Archosaur... waves of mobs run back and forth across the area outside the gate. Be fast, or you'll get rampantly KS'ed and/or drops stolen.

Also, there are some quests you can pick up from the people near General Summer (I think...), which award experience and spirit when each wave is finished.

Lastly, there are bosses that will announce their arrival. This ends with the evil Duke coming and getting himself killed... All of this in a vain attempt to capture the Duke which we would so willingly give to them if peace talks were to be entered...

I think I took part in some other event on the server one time that wasn't Tigers and I did fairly well until I lost idea of what I was doing. I'm not in it to win it, I just like to do something different for a change.

That being said, no more troll posts. I want answers to my questions b:angry

edit: ty kritty hope to get some more detailed answers because I'm pretty slow when it comes to events. (thank god for tiger event wiki or i'd never take part.)

It's as simple as can be, really.

Mobs spawn, you kill mobs, you get DQ's as drops (quite a few, even though it's not 2x).
Then a boss spawns after a while, you kill the boss it drops some unique molds, a new type of harder mobs spawn and the cycle restarts.

Okay but do you need to take a quest from someone? If so, who and where? and I'm guessing this takes place right outside of Arch? From all sides or just one side? (i.e. West Arch...)

I believe it's only north arch and no, there are no quests. Think of it as a wraith attack, just on a much larger scale.

NPC's spawn on each of the ramps in north south and west gates, you can take a quest for each wave of mobs. There are five waves in total, the mobs growing tougher to kill with each, then a final boss which spawns outside of only one of the gates. the final wave of mobs stays up a few hours after the bosses are done. Event runs roughly four hours

As stated, the mobs drop DQ, Celstones, wraith envelopes, gear and ammo. In addition they are pretty good exp as well. After the event is over, you can turn in the envelopes you have collected for more exp.

All in all its a good event to farm a bit of coin and exp. If you can carve yourself out a good spot on the map, its worth spending some hyper time on. The last time I did it, I was able to stay the entire time and made roughly 2.5 mils on the drops, and as a 100 archer just at 8% exp unhypered

Hope that helpsb:victory

If you're from Harshlands, you might as well not even consider event--and I only exclude Theatre of Blood because they are too lazy to actually work for anything.

Catalyst camp kills anything that moves out of West Gate during things like the Nien or Duke event, simply because they don't like coming in second place. Even if you're not a regular showup, expect to get maimed by favorites such as Curso, Guna, $wag, and much more.

Ohh, yes, there were indeed quests from the guard at the gate. They were just not that profitable if I remember correctly.

Is this not a weekly event on PWI? This event happens every Thursday for PWJP.

Mayfly - Dreamweaver

No, it's not weekly in PWI, only by special announcement.

umadbrah?

But seriously, I usually just find a random spot somewhere and proceed to grind about 15k-25k DQ points during the event.

Rerum - Sanctuary

Unless you are (or in a party with) a high refined APS char in party with some APS friends, ignore completely the boss, there is absolutely no way for you to get anything from the boss otherwise, however regular mobs drop a lot of DQ, make a AOE party and get those mobs for DQ is really worth it. b:bye

Huh... I wonder what the PvP next to Harshlands means on the login screen. Normally during events, I only get killed by aoes and maybe once or twice the random ******* who decides to make it a pk event.

Thanks very much, it is very helpful and informative. b:cute

As for the boss, lol I'd never do enough dmg to even think about getting a boss drop, esp since everyone is endgame with endgame gear unlike myself ;x

So I was right... comforting to know.b:chuckle

This event is completly useless with 100 of pkers running around. Sins use Spoils of War and make you loose all of your DQ items. They should turn pking off just for that event...
