Default Stolen Sunspear armor

I found this thread to be very informative and after an hour or so running with just henchies and heros I've managed to land two sets myself. On average I can hit at least 3 of the guild lords by myself before the time runs out, almost the 4th but guess I don't kill quick enough

My theory, which holds true so far:

Dajkah Inlet:

You must advance 1 Island further to get new armors than before.
If you got to the 4th Island (i.e. you killed the first lord on the first map, 2nd run), you need to get to the 5th island and kill the lord to get one more.

You will not get stolen sunspear armors in earlier islands with this char anymore.
Note: You do not get an armor if you kill the 2nd lord on any island, you get only 1 per island. It is only good for score.

Anyone have any advice on shadow nexus? I'm averaging 90pts, 8 runs and 43 dead portal mages... no drop. Maybe I'm slightly irritated. There is no one here so im forced to use heros, which poses a problem because they dont know how to run from portal mage to portal mage and get locked battling useless groups even when flagged.

Out of about 50 runs in the shadow nexus I have 2 armors so far. First armor was at 133 points, second at 118. Both armors were in the first 5 runs so it has been dry for awhile now for me.
If you look at the scores there you will notice that all but maybe one of them are one person. Saw a monk go in there solo yesterday and he was on the top 10 list so maybe a 55 or 605 build will work here. Hope the armors start dropping soon cause i am not paying the 40-50K people want for them.

Default Question on Hero Armors

I didn't see this answered in the Hero FAQ up on top, but how does the crafting of armor work? Do you need only one armor fragment to craft a full set or do you need five armor fragments to craft a full set?

Sorry if this is confusing, but I tried to make it clear. Thanks!

Picked up 2 armors in one run of the Dajkah Inlet challenge mission earlier this morning on my rit, made it to the third island but didn't reach the first guild lord there in time. If anyone wants to make a run in the morning EST and sees my rit (Taree Oda) running around Dajkah Inlet, send me a PM.

ive dualed the dajkah inlet mission with my guild m8. we got approximately 7 armors both. We got the highest score so far (245 points) and as far as we tried to do the mission more with the same chars the armors dont seem to drop anymore... I think that if we got on beated the island with the corsair ghosts on the third run on the same type of island we would get more armors. But it is just my guess..

@MorpheusDV: No problems with those questions, it just implies I have to write the guide more clearly on some points.

As it is said by someone else above, you need 1 armorpiece for a FULL set of armor for 1 hero. And if you have the same hero on another character as well, his armor ISNT upgraded.
You can always change back to normal armor for free and then change back to Elite for free as well, once it has been unlocked for that hero.

Savio has a great guide on the Remains of Salahja challenge, although using his advice into your approach to that solo mission will still vary depending on your skill, reflexes, and whether you've unlocked the siege attack for your wurm or not. It may or may not help in having to get out of the wurm and attack a Lost Soul that's in rocky terrain, just remember that you'll need to be on your toes and alert at all times when you got 5 maddened spirits chasing you down.

I use Heroes n' Hench only also, and average 120 points every time.
I don't just kill the portal mages and run, I clear the portal area of all mobs.
Perhaps you may want to look into your heroes' skill sets...

Also, this might not mean much, but I have the feeling after 100 point mark the armor has better chance of dropping. But I could be wrong, and score may mean nothing.

I have never been able to kill more than 4 Guild Lords in Dajkah Inlet in one run. The best time I have made reaching the second Guild Lord is 8 minutes. That leaves me 2 minutes per Guild Lord! I kill demon mobs much quicker with my current hero/hench build than I do corsairs. I've tried messing around with different builds, but couldn't find a fast and efficient combo. What are you guys running there?

Today I've tried 13 times the Inlet. Well the first time I used 3 heroes and the enchies. Each time I killed 3 guild masters and I totally dropped 2 armors. I have a very bad luck But once I took with me a friend of mine and he dropped on 3 guild masters, 2 armors. I think that this is only a matter of luck.

ZOMG... you didnt kill ME, you killed Guild LORDS...

Anyway the cumulative chance (assume dropchance per GL =1/5)of gettin 1 drop after 10 kills would be 2,14%, which is significant enough to be taken into account that you just were very unlucky. Or maybe I should open my statistics book again and find some better chance calculations.

I just now killed five GLs, and was on my way to the sixth one when it ended.
solo, with heroes and henchies only. Score was 94.
Not bad considering top was 122, and 10th was around 110, and this was with nothing but me and henchies...

Oh, the armor? Of course not. It never drops for me.

I set the daily record at Sahlahja, using the guide. It's pretty simple, you just concentrate on getting 60 points by killing greater thingies/maddened souls, then just start running in a huge circle looking out for lost souls. I got 6 armors in one run (though I killed about 8 lost souls after 6 and it seemed I wasn't going to get any more). Only 4 heroes use that armor upgrade so I donated the other 2 to my guild. I thought this was the hardest one and I was just getting bored after a while......
