So... I just hit level 80 on my Archer the other day. So, we got some people in faction who are doing/running Trophy mode runs, and I'm gonna be participating in these runs, which require 60-80 for 4 players... I wanna be one of those 4.

However, I also want a Guardian of the Realm. This requires 5 Divine Honor of the Shadow. I have 4 so far.

So, I do BH 69, turn it in, and go to the NPC to get the quests from Divine Order. WTF? You have to be 81 to get the quests. b:embarrass W... T... F...?

So... Over the course of the next few days, I will do BH's, and not be able to turn in any of my BH1's because I can't get the stupid Divine quests?

Did someone fail math who made this game? It should be for level 80-105, not for level 81-105. I'd have to magically get BH59 to turn in to get a Divine Contracts to turn into the Emissary of the Shadow.

Holy fail.

I'm not going to bother putting this in the suggestions forum.

1) Either they won't care, and it will be ignored for a very long time until it falls off the cliff on page 51

or

2) It's already being fixed, and in a year, two years, or three years, will be fixed during another expansion (less likely, will be fixed during a patch).

    The same happens at the first turn- over (50/ 51) and was pointed out earlier on the forums.b:surrender At least they kept it consistent and not pick favorites. They, the Devs, not our GMs, screwed up once more.

    Just speed level to 81 then?
    With fcc and such shouldn't take that long if you have the time for it. b:surrender

    The only reason I could see it being done this way is that if you got the divine order at 49/79 and you lvled while turning bh 1 in, you could still pick up the divine order quests up up at 50/80. But even then it still doesn't make sense...

    She can't participate in the Trophy Mode runs if she's 81, though. That's where the issue in her post is.

    If you aren't going to bother posting about it in the suggestions section, your complaints are even more useless.

    Besides, you may not have played this game for long enough but the Guardian of the Realm was not always available. It was an extremely rare drop that only came from the Assault on Arch event from one boss with a very slight chance of it even dropping. And you are mad because you can't get it at level. Congratulations, you've really made me feel like an old player.

    Now, as to your problem...

    First, I'm sure no one will truly complain that you aren't using the Chained Jail or that precursor to the Blinding Radiance at level 80. On top of that, a group of level 80s in Trophy Mode shouldn't have problems. Get your cape, level, and get your bow. Spending time complaining about it is simply wasting time. Wasted time is that much longer until you get your bow.

    Second, you're going to have to get a bow at 90 anyway. My friend, nethare, has been playing just as long as I have. Only difference? He plays an archer. He has wanted that bow for a long time, and might get one simply to have one after two years of playing the game while it hasn't been easily accessible. Redundant of me to say this, but your complaint seems a bit spoiled to me. As great as the Guardian -is- a TT bow will be just as good. People say TT 80 armor sucks, and to get legend because you won't be 8X long and it isn't worth the time/cost This is kinda the same way. Yeah, it's an epic bow. Yeah, I'm gonna be mad at you for using it past 90. It doesn't transcend its level range.

    Third, I know your complaint is more about not being able to USE the Guardian in Trophy mode. Well, you've admitted that you don't think the Devs will change it. So, erm, why are you complaining again? No, it doesn't make sense that a range starts at 81. But it HAS to based on how the chain starts.

    Divine Order of Light: 20-50
    Divine Order of Shadow 51(!)-80
    Divine Order of the Void 81(!)+

    If a chain of levels starts and ends with a rounded number, the next chain (if it starts exactly one after the first) must start one higher. Should the ranges be 19-49, 50-79, 80+? Maybe. But the first quest you get to go see General Summer is at 20. Seems kind of stupid to give someone a quest at General Summer (getting the first Divine Order) a level before you should even be in Arch.

    It isn't a failure of math, it is a conflict of interests. You NEED to see General Summer to get the first Order, which happens at 20 anyway. Is it fail that it ends at 50? Sort of. Does it matter, in the end? Only if you don't get your Guardian before you hit 80.

    Why are people ****ing bothering with tm69 again? It's useless. Just level up and try your hand at tm Lunar.

    Huh. I should clarify...

    I've got a Crimson Horn:Soulsmasher 2 socket +3 bow. I've also got Soul Freeze, with an Immac garnet in it +1 (was too lazy to get it further). And... Wind and Clouds... So yeah. I just want a Guardian so I can get rid of the Divine Honors I have, and have something useful. <unamused>

    The QQ is more of a 'why weren't they thinking', not a 'I'm screwed using crappy gear in TM69' thing. I want a Guardian because I've never seen one before, if one was available on AH regularly, I'd just buy one and make it/reshard or whatever. But... They either don't drop from a common boss (like a WB), or they are only available through DQ, like The Penetrator, which I do have (got the mold free as a gift from a friend <3).
