Hi everyone! Does anyone doing CoA regularly notice that the event is ending earlier than usual? Last week it ended 10 minutes earlier in LC. This week it's 15 minutes. Probably 20 minutes earlier next week. Would appreciate the feedback from players.

P/s based on the mob that I'm farming the orbs from, it drops 9 orbs per kill. In an hour, I can farm about 108 orbs but due to the early time out I end up with less than 100 orbs which isn't enough for 1 badge of either strength or courage.

    I can't be bothered to find a link, but if you didn't, there was a post just the other day pretty much exactly like this that had plenty of answers on it.

    So it wasn't me who started the thread? Social etiquette and an apology? I'm here looking for answers and feedbacks and not trying to duplicate threads. If there was another posting on this topic, I didn't find it after searching through 5 pages of old threads.

    P/s not sassing but just wondering, have you been promoted to a Mod in this forum recently?

    In your calculations, did you take into account the 1 minute delay between mob death and respawn? To get over 100, you must get 108 orbs on that boss, which is 12 kills. So 60-12 for spawn time, which leaves 48/12. You must safely kill every boss in under 4 minutes. If you are even close to that time on some of the mobs, chances are you are averaging 4 mins and just having a couple low end numbers which push you down to one less kill, getting only 99 orbs.

    We'd need more precise numbers instead of less that 100, or rough amount of time it takes for you to kill the sandworm to say for sure one way or another.

    Thanks for replying. I started farming the badges of strength and courage a few months back and am currently with all the rest of the signs and 3 badges of courage, still needing 7 badges of courage to complete.

    I have always managed to farm more than 100 (always ending up with 108 or 117 and sometimes even 126 orbs) with the sand worm in one hour but last week, I ended up with 90 orbs and this week was even worse because it ended 15 minutes earlier. I knew it ended earlier because I always keep a timer close by to monitor my progress. Just wondering, did it happen in your server too or was this specifically in LC only?

    CoA is not pk enabled but my advise is to try to do it at 9x because some of the mobs in there can really hurt with their pdef debuffs and aoe especially when you've got 2 of them stuck on you.
