I also have a dilema.
what "Unavailable for now??" should mean? , I mean in the skill tree u can see clearly ur skills,but "Unavailable for now??" means the skills are not ready yet?
Would that mean that they will come with the next update?
Please allow me to know the answer...b4 I know how to switch on the orders.
Thx.

You can check the NPCs around the order's areas to see what skills and other items are available. The skills on this guide that say "Unavailable for now" have not yet been discovered/recorded by the guide maker. All skills have been made available, just check all order's NPCs for where you can attain them.

Also, I think it would be helpful to include the required prestige/influence for the skills in this guide, if you find the time b:cute

it's really annoying that 5 aps sins, barbs, and Blademasters get 5% reduction in damage and 20% reduction in accuracy when you work so hard to get the gear and equipment to actually get 5 aps in the first place..b:angry I hope you all work on that.

Changes to Existing Skills
- Seeker squad buffs will no longer consume a mirage
- Quid Pro Quo can no longer transfer the "Decrease Maximum HP" debuff
- Absolute Domain genie skill is no longer an AOE
- 5% damage decrease and 20% less accuracy to 5aps

Other Stuff

10 man squads
The squad limit has been raised to 10 but not for old instances. The only real instance that supports 10 people is the new "Endless Universe".

You can also have 10 man squads in the world map, in shared maps like Lothranis and OHT, and in TW.

Not quite done with this but will add more stuff laters.

Well, looks like AD has gone the way of HP b:surrender
Good to see they -finally- got rid of that obsured cost to the seeker. That was just dumb and should have been removed a long time ago.
I think they should have done amp instead of hp debuff if they were gonig to do anything. Seems cheap nerfing the skill though...

And 5aps... really? Just? Seems like they are trying to favor r9 daggers. G15's just barely beat r9 and only if they wearing a lot of dots. With a 5% damage nerf brings back r9 into the game. And 20% accuracy drop screws bms pretty bad, other dex classes not so much.
Think its only fair high cast rates get nerfed too.

biohazardusx · February 2012

can anyone tell me (step by step) how to get new skills.. like all of them.. blah blah.. where is that npc that sells them or whatever ..whats the name of it.. im so confuzed b:surrender

Deadlife - Lost City · February 2012

thanks for this i was totally lost!

Ikarium - Dreamweaver · February 2012

Can this be stickied? At least temporarily for a week or two? So many people asking questions in game...be nice to be able to point them to a stickied easy-find topic.

Baby_pho - Heavens Tear · February 2012

thanks for the info b:cute

still cant get in game x.x' *

PhantomThief - Archosaur · February 2012

Anyone figured out how to get the new gear? From what I can tell, there are item packs you can get from some of the Order vendors and there are some NPCs who will reforge/rehone the new gear. I haven't found a place to make the gear itself, though.

Also, some of the gear has a price tag of over 7 mil. I don't know if that price goes down with Prestige or Influence, but it could be possible.

Dorset - Heavens Tear · February 2012

Asterelle Brilliant thread yet again ty. Also particularly liked it cause Archers are right at the top ROFL THIS NEEDS A STICKY

What's a Trace Flora Pet? b:surrender

This is a question I wonder as well.
If you click yourself or another player, they'll have the pet icon and it'll have "Trace Flora Pet", even if they do not have a pet out.

Traz - Dreamweaver · February 2012

Well Aste it says there is a new instance that you go into for mats to reforge gear, but that's false. The new instance is a failed new experience instance. All the mats / 2* weapons you need to get the G15 you can get from influence.

Asterelle - Sanctuary_1381265973 · February 2012

Ya what I had before wasn't very accurate. It's fixed now and has a link to Sauver's guide for that instance.

This guide is mostly done now except for more discussion about the things you can get with prestige and influence.

Conalll - Archosaur · February 2012

Checked the in game encyclopedia thing for crafting. Found out you can craft some (all?) of the new skill books through the "Aurora Agent" for 10 Perfect luck tokens, and something called a "Book of Darkness".

Anyone have intel on this path to the skills?

VenomSara - Heavens Tear · February 2012

Cost / Ease of Acquiring
Some of the new skills are quite cheap and can be acquired the first day!
These skills are unlocked at Tier 1 at 40 prestige and cost only 15 influence + 105k coins.
These skills are all tradeable. You can use an alt to acquire these skills fast if they are from an order you are not otherwise interested in.

............. how ..... were ? got 30 influence 65 prestige still no skill ...

Allynna_ - Dreamweaver · February 2012

^Talk to one of the NPCs in the order bases. There are some NPCs that sell gear and books.

Also, why do all the skills seem to require the level 79 culti, but quite a few need 3 sparks? Cause in theory that continuous BM AoE skill could be gotten from a higher level main, then given to a level 79-88 alt who could while learn it (in theory) be impossible to use?

I was wondering why suddenly the view count on my video went from 300 to just under 3000 overnight lol.

I'm assuming the Open instance were you have to kill a boss with 1 from each order is the weekly quest as i was unable to pick it up, also im assuming the quest is bugged for the squad leader as when i did this quest my 2 party members got influence and i didn't, and then later on a friend had the same issue (him being leader)

Would i be right in saying you earn 30 Influence points aday, with an additional 100 per week?

Kattanyia - Archosaur · February 2012

This should be stickied!!!!

Hazumi_chan - Sanctuary · February 2012

I agree on the sticky o.o great work Asterelle

helped me lots already!

Also I have a question

In Korren's thread, it sais something about joining different orders for different gear, as in HA/LA/AA, but also different weapons.
Was that implemented here too? Or can you join any order and still get the gear you want?
I wouldn't want to end up with AA on my seeker b:surrender

Asterelle - Sanctuary_1381265973 · February 2012

Yeah I should copy the gear info stuff over. The skills were of much greater interest to me than the gear..

Or a link to another thread about the gear. The gear is kinda...meh. Weapons don't seem too bad if you're not a BM.

Hats off, I've visited this post prolly 50 times already. I really appreciate the effort Asterelle.

Mayfly - Dreamweaver · February 2012

This thread has the information on which gear is from which order, but no detail on the gear stats.

Hazumi_chan - Sanctuary · February 2012

b:thanks
Unfortunate that you have to be in a certain order for G15 gear... But how about G13? b:surrender
Do you have to be in the correct order for that too, or doesn't it matter in that case? ^^"

I'm thinking of getting the gear on my veno when she hits 95, so I don't have to keep switching gears between veno and cleric ^^"

Asterelle - Sanctuary_1381265973 · February 2012

G13 is just from running Endless Universe which can be done with any order. I don't even think you need to be in any order to do it since it doesn't involve prestige or influence. Updated now with more info about the available gear.

Roland - Harshlands · February 2012

Can you only gain 30 influence a day?

Hazumi_chan - Sanctuary · February 2012

Alright then

Thank you very much for the quick reply ^^ b:thanks
