    Wraith attacks are a mass amount of mobs that arent supposed to be there, and they drop Celestones, Wraith Dog Tags, and some other stuff. You can start going to some at level 20

    Secret Letter. Not exactly a typical wraith attack. Better xp, easier to kill mobs, and a higher drop rate with additional drop items.

    And lol @ whoever would start it right before server main. nub
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    Well, some of them are for higher levels - I wouldn't recommend you to go if there was one around Whetstone Keep e.g.
    The levels of the mobs are usually dependant on the location they attack. Lowers I have noticed are around this walled place North-East from Archosaur... Hidden Orchid, maybe...
    Tusk Town for 50s maybe etc...
    You could go try tho... even though usually these places get flooded with higher level players :)

    It's a good "event" to make some extra money yeah - but in the meanwhile it is the greatest KS event you'll ever come across too :)

    It was a Legion attack, not a Wraith attack.

    Wraith attacks are randomly scheduled by the server at random locations.

    Legion attacks are only activated with a secret letter. I only know of two locations where it can be activated (there may be more). These two areas are DWP and 1KS.

    And yes, weird how someone would activate it when the maintenance was starting.

    Turn in the Merit badges for exp+spirit at Arch.

    They're a lot easier than the lvl 9x wraith mobs at North Barrier wraith attacks.

    I prefer Secret Letter at DWP. Those are really easy.

    Yup, much easier to kill than Wraiths.

    700k-1mil as an archer is easily attainable via Legions. You won't even get close to that on a Wraith attack (or atleast I haven't been able to).

    Next question then, how does one get these Secret Letters?

    The drop rate is absurdly small. Do note that those % are for additional drops and is not a normal drop.

    i.e the mob would have to be checked for eligibility to drop the additional items. It is then decided on that probability if they would drop a secret letter.

    The ones at 1k are annoying. But, it's pretty fun doing air zhen on them. :)
