Thread for your thoughts on the Celestial Tiger Event?

So, what does everyone think?

I honestly found it a bit annoying.
Trying to figure out where the NPC to start was difficult (Kinda)
I tried to start at the Elder of Archosaur, only to find out that it doesn't spawn around there.
Then I headed to Plume and had troubles finding the mobs. Running around only finding herbs.
Last, finding the Celestial Tigers themselves was rather annoying, especially when the ones had already died.
All in all though, I found it fun.
Hopefully within the next few weeks, it'll be easier to know where everything is.

    I think you guys (the big 'you' not anyone in particular) are whining right now because it's new and no one held your hand and told you how to do it. After you think you can do it with your eyes closed, the only complaint you'll have is not being able to power level your alts.

    (And like I said, I didn't aim this post specifically at you, but at people who are upset because they are confused)

    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

    ^That was my main problem.

    Also, doesn't having the bosses be [?] give the venos an unfair advantage due to no pet damage reduction?

    All in all? It was a blast and I have cuuuute little sage tiger kitten :D

    Since the venos are competing against other venos and not against you, I don't think it would be a valid complaint. After all, any 5.0 claw BM on the server would totally faceroll the venos in dps.

    I'm sure everyone was confused, to be honest.
    No info where to start it or anything would be the cause of that.

    You're right, I forgot, I was thinking it was still shared contribution >.<

    And nuuu, don't bring up the 5.0 aps bms D: (not that it bothers me as much in the event now that slow DPS classes can't squad them and steal contribution) -.-

    Yes I was confused too, but I think that was the fun part of the event, because later when everyone knows where all 8 bosses are, it becomes less of a fun find-the-boss thing and more of a chore.

    So far the only complaint has been "where are da mobs."
    Well, you'll learn that with time.


    So yeah, good event I say.

    Celestial Tiger Event

    This is a brand new server-wide event! Four Celestial Tigers have issued a challenge, and you all must work together to defeat them. Earn event contribution through various ways, including fighting minions, turning in gems, harvesting special herbs, and run special event quests given by the elders the major cities!
    Players will be rewarded based on their level of contribution. There are multiple levels of prizes; the highest will be given to the top representative of each class, and the lowest will be given to all players who reach at least a certain fixed amount of contribution.

    Look for this event every Monday!


    This was the information given on the event. I participated in this event today and I had no trouble finding the start NPC in City of the Lost he was to the right of the Elder. The mobs were outside the Northern gates in Lost, the boss also spawned outside the Northern gate as well as the Southern Gate. There are run quests in this event as well those quests can be taken from the Elder of the City once you have started the event. I can't wait till next week should be fun the more people become accustomed to doing this new event. Happy Hunting all!! <3

    Only complaint is the low rewards. It's basically the same prizes as nienbeast, the least they could give is 20 boxes. It's basically twice the time to do things for 14x less reward. b:spit

    They should change it to 3 times: Monday 12:00 Thursday 17:00 Sunday 21:00

    Celestial Tiger Event = Monday
    Forest Ruins and Dragon Temple = Tuesday
    City of Abominations = Wednesday
    Tournament = Thursday

    I don't see why they didn't put Forest Ruins on Friday...

    So Friday, Saturday or Sunday would be good.

    But they could have easily made it an hour or two before TW's start.

    I grabbed all the quests just in case. I don't think there IS a run-around quest system. There's one that I think can only be done once, and it's really not worth doing because it requires you to visit the elder of each major city for only ~240 contri.
    Another wants you to hand over 3 common topaz shards (rather expensive) for another few points of contri.

    Other than that, just the herbs really.

    After you get the quest for tiger npc, the elder of the 4 big cities give you another 3 quests

    1.- not remeber.. (herbs maybe) xD

    2.- common shard.. each elder want a special shard

    3.- is a elder problem:
    you need visit the other 3 elders, example: start in Etherblade, get the quest and visit Elder of Lost, get the quest from this elder and visit Plume, visit elder, got him quest, visit RT elder got him quest and then.. 240 contri for 4k - 5k coins for teles.. mmm is better that are waiting for that ugly herbs xD and fight for get them xD

    I help to kill bosses in RT city and only got 200 contri b:surrender for 5-6min of battle..

    battle..

    These can be repeated as they are cyclical. But the teleporting cost quickly builds up... so I gave up and went to kill mobs instead.

    Plus I simply don't think it's a realistic idea to expect to be able to compete with those killing mobs just by repeating that quest. Killing mobs I can get 240 contri in 10 seconds. Teleporting between each town would take at least three minutes. The plume and etherblade elders aren't exactly close to the teleport masters...

    Agreed. Probably would barely make the 2000 minimum contribution instead of placing for more deccent prizes. Somehow I think the teleportation is to discourage stacking as was so popular in the Nien event.

    In terms of the event -->

    1st place prizes sucked imo...those who were below me got some much better ones.

    However, my hubby and I now have SO CUTE Sage Tigers b:cute

    Overall I did like the event and with time I think it will get more interesting once everyone figures some things out.
