Cool skins I guess...but just buy them when people put them up.

Look at the stats of 90% of those drops...and how often they have gone into that mission...

cherikku · May 04, 2006, 03:19 AM // 03:19

I see this in the future... WTS Elite Mission spot 10k / spot!!!!!

vtrajan · May 04, 2006, 05:53 AM // 05:53

Yeah, then you waste your 10k because you die within 30 seconds of the mission.

I myself would not take someone in this mission because they paid me. That is asking to lose the mission.

You need someone you know that you can rely on. Can't just grab 4 mending warriors and stuff.

Mitsu Bishi · May 04, 2006, 05:58 AM // 05:58

Well, once you get the hang, it's getting easier. We made it to the end boss again yesterday in about 2.5 hours. Still not able to beat him but at least we had him down to the half.

The drops are nice but they are not spectacular. Which is how it should be, because otherwise those who are able to go there would be even more preferred. Nonetheless there's always the chance to find 15^50 Zodiac items which will sell for well over 100k - you just have to be lucky.

Would I pay 10k to enter? No, because without knowledge of what awaits you, you will not make it far. Would I pay 1k to enter? Maybe, if I'd be allowed a few tries - you will make 1k with the normal drops very soon and it's quite a challenge down there, so you will have some fun as well.

I got to enter with Vtrajan the other day as a MM...

basically he/she asked in the house who wanted to go in and I jumped at it..
this wasnt really an organized group, just poeple who where interested in seeing it.
first we entered into a corridor as a mob dropped from the sides and was killing people with basically one hit..

granted this was bliss for me as a MM and I got up 10 minions within what seemed like seconds.

after everyone was rezzed we hit the first KNOWN mob... needless to say this was quick and brutal.. since all the mobs are "crazed" basically they attack fast and hit hard.

needless to say its very much a 12 person area..

Ive been obsessing about what team would have a decent chance since then

although I dont think TS/vent is in any way required ( im Biased) some organisation, Candy Canes, and prior planning are definitly on the list..

Mitsu Bishi · May 04, 2006, 11:14 AM // 11:14

Ah, it seems that the Kurzick one is a bit different from the Luxon one. In the Luxon one you are split into 4 teams (as I said earlier) and this is horrible without proper planning and dividing the group into the right pieces to finish that first task. But MM also shine in this one, strength of numbers is always good to have

BlackRecluse · May 04, 2006, 02:22 PM // 14:22

oh god im so jealous. must..get into good alliance..

T)-(E Voice Of Reason · May 05, 2006, 12:34 AM // 00:34

cefx who is that noob necro/monk who error 7ed? Its all illusions fault with his family dinner!!!!!

Matrix · May 05, 2006, 01:03 AM // 01:03

What will you get after finishing the mission?

nebuchanezzar · May 05, 2006, 01:25 AM // 01:25

That is the great big unanswered question so far. Yes Zodiacs drop there but..what does the Boss drop? Does he have a green? Is he more like a HoH chest in quality?
Eventually teams will work out strong strategies and we'll get an answer when he/she is finally taken out.
Sounds just like its described..Elite Mission.
I wasnt aware non-Alliance members could enter with only 1 Alliance member in the group. That may open up the Xk/slot but hopefully the community just wont support it. In the same token hopefully some faction controlling members will be willing to bring others to see the Elite instances.

Azzurra · May 05, 2006, 07:33 AM // 07:33

as far as i know,it drop the signet for the guild chest,if i dont remember bad.

jackie · May 05, 2006, 08:18 AM // 08:18

Any chance holding alliances can give us some kind of proper report from both missions same type like when UW/FoW came? Enemy type,maps,possible quests that sort of things...

Not have to, but just that I think many of us would appreciate that really much, because 99% is left outside ^_^

Kaguya · May 05, 2006, 09:10 AM // 09:10

btw, are the elite missions required for Protector of Cantha?

Here are some pictures of The Black Blades journey down into the Deep from last night... Enjoy!

"The Deep"

"What is this ?"

"A lot of Onis !"

"The Leviathan"

I'm still unsure whether this is necessary or not. Our alliance lost Cavalon to the Black Blades but some of us logged out in The Deep the day before and they logged in in The Deep even when we had already lost Cavalon. They were able to enter the mission alone without a problem and without anybody from Black Blades. So it may very well be that you don't need a member from the holding alliance at all - just somebody to bring you to the mission.

if this is the case !!!! that would be very nice, just an alliance member to get you to the mission once, then perhaps you get to keep it indefinitely?

pls update if you find out more

this sounds too nice to be true

can someone else confirm it?

PS In order to find out, PLZ TAKE ME TO URGOZ ;P. im on eu serv, will pay (provided its reasonable)

elavro · May 05, 2006, 05:16 PM // 17:16

maybe anet doenst know this yet? that would be so cool if we could all get in the elite mission, btw are there any other area's like fow/uw?

TG|Claw · May 05, 2006, 05:47 PM // 17:47

it would be nice if that was possible. Also maybe if your alliance controlled it once they can go there all the time :-)
