Yeah. And some people *ahem* already know what is coming too ;d. I just wanted a bit of filler here for fun considering the next one is fairly huge and I am trying to balance it out so that it isn't too time consuming...

well....I used to have a college professor who graded his tests like this....there were lots of people in the class with negative scores on tests! The lesson I learned for that is DO NOT GUESS....so I think (since I have no idea except shadow form being 'fixed' again) that I will take my own advice.....(for the record it was a pre-med weed out class, I was very happy to have passed the class as I was NOT pre-med, though it WAS required for my major-ART

---it was removed the next year from the requirements for my degee

)

OK, so assuming everything goes according to plan, this is the schedule:

Later Today = Mission #12. Dun dun dun.
Tomorrow = Time for sending in your skill choices = over. Points for that mission awarded Thursday.
Wednesday: = Mission #13. Mission #12 expires.
Thursday = Points from the skill choices awarded.
Friday: Mission #14. The last one...to spice it up, you have to do all the stuff in the last mission withhhh THE NEW BALANCE ZOMG. Mission #13 expires.
Sunday: Mission #14 expires. Final points tallied. Prizes given out. Good times are had.

DarkNecrid · Aug 04, 2008, 05:55 PM // 17:55

Mission #12: We're off to see the Iron Forgeman, the Iron Forgeman of Sorrow's Furnace....

Rules:
This one is fairly long. :|
*Complete Sorrow's Furnace. By this, I mean take pics of the following quests completed, ALONG WITH a pic of you going in with your team. Your completed quest pic(s) should all have the same team obviously:
* The Forge Heart
* Summit Slaves
* Unspeakable, Unknowable
* Kilroy Stonekin
* The Final Assault
Pictures need to follow previous screenshot rules, and you only get one chance.

Completion of this mission will award +20 points to all who complete it.

Quests:
-Take pics of your build setup for it, (can be your one above.). If you complete this mission without ANY PvE skills you get +10 points.
-If you do this mission in Hard Mode and complete all 5 needed quests, you get +10 points.
-Take pics of doing 3 other Sorrow's Furnace Quests and completing them, and you'll get an extra +10 points.

All can be done by anybody. Anyone who scores 40 points or more off of this Mission gets an item!

Enjoy...and yes, I know it's long. Forgive me.

But it's a good, fun area.

Out of curiosity, what counts as taking a picture of the completed quest? Having (Complete) next to the quest name in our quest log?

In this case, yes.

DarkNecrid · Aug 05, 2008, 05:06 PM // 17:06

Also, 2 hours from now is when I will stop taking skill balance lists. I have to go, but anything sent later than 2 hours (exactly) from now will be ignored!

**cosyfiep** · Aug 06, 2008, 04:58 AM // 04:58

wow all I can say....

I will be doing 2 posts since forum rules only allow me to post 5 screenies in one post. The first post will be the mission, the 2nd one the quest (3 add'l sf quests completed).
I did also make a compilation of the screens...so there will be a beginning screen as well as the end screen in the same screen---otherwise I would need a bunch more posts for this!

they are named:
galen whole---2 shots combined
kilroy whole --ditto
alkar whole -ditto
end and forge total...these kinda got messy as one quest is kinda like part of the other....so some of the shots are regular screenshots while others have guru in the background; also forge total is 4 shots...the one in the bottom right is actually part of final assault and the one in the final assault one is part of forge....hope its ok, they just arent quite in the right place (and it took me quite sometime to get that far with paint mind you--and actually the one with ennis is right before I got the quest, ugh).

This is the first time I was actually able to complete final assault and my rit is very happy to be the proud new owner of a mini moa too!

the add'l player is my husband and he doesnt care that his name is here...his build is nuker ...with little else (2 enchaments, 2 glyphs, ms, wards and not much else...)....I have used the same build since eye came out....love agony and it was great in killing off the djinns ( was also nice they attacked one at a time---did they fix this quest?????)...saw no need to change it (you can see it in many of my other pics...same character, same old build).
enjoy....

**cosyfiep** · Aug 06, 2008, 05:10 AM // 05:10

part 2
three add'l quests.

I did orozar....his is also a compliation screen shot (ozowhole)
and then I did all of the krak quests....pick which three you believe complete the add'l three requirement.....I have the shot with them all completed in my log (others) and then 3 of me getting the rewards (5,6,7).

now its time to go and watch some mind less tv......

had a great time doing these as while we did some of them the dsl disconnected us....lots of times.....one time we were just to the cut scene----I didnt get one, my hubby watched it....and then he reconnected (I didnt...thought we would have to redo the whole thing again!)....came back about 10 minutes later....then we decided to call it quits for the night (and pray that the dsl would be more stable the next day-today, which is was..)

I had the assistance of multiple wonderful alliance friends. All quests were done in Hard Mode. None of us used PvE skills (I posted their skill bars as well for proof).

The Forge Heart + The Final Assault:

Summit Slaves:

Unspeakable, Unknowable:

Kilroy Stonekin:

>3 other quests:

Rift · Aug 06, 2008, 01:26 PM // 13:26

That was a long one >:(

Here are my screenshots of the quest rewards. I have others of me entering each time, but it becomes pretty obvious that these were all done in succession. No PvE skills were used, but all was done in Normal Mode, as I wasn't sure if I could complete it alone in HM (wtb crazy friends for crazy long quests QQ)

All these quests can be turned in by everyone.

Enjoyyyy.

Stig Figger · Aug 07, 2008, 06:58 AM // 06:58

Wow, another awesomely fun night with alliance-mates. I think however they resent the fact that I got some choice drops over the last two nights, including 2 black dyes and an elite monk tome.

Again, everything was done in Hard Mode, with no PvE skills (teammates pinged their bars, screenshots included). I linked to two shots of the Dragon's Lair completion in case it's not clear from the first that bonus was in fact achieved.

Thirsty River:

Elona Reach:

Dunes of Despair:

Augury Rock:

Dragon's Lair:

**cosyfiep** · Aug 08, 2008, 03:36 AM // 03:36

once again I will do 2 posts (too many screenies for one).

I did this with my paragon as she had not even been past lions arch....so had to run to the desert first.

Once there I made it to all three of the missions.

I completed dunes (kinno1), thirstyriver (kinno2) and well had some connection issues with elona--so there is more than one screenshot (you can also see my builds for this on the reg screenshots.....I was trying to print screen when I lagged and all I got was me loading into aurgry rock

so I have the screens of me talking to the hero 084 and then back in aurgry 086 and kinno4 which shows the mission completed).
the next post will be doppleganger and glint.

**cosyfiep** · Aug 08, 2008, 03:41 AM // 03:41

here is me and my double....got her on the first try! (kinno5 and 087--shows my skillbar)

then me and my husband (yu) finishing dragons lair----and then us killing off glint (ok we were dancing on her)...you can even see on the one shot the 'bonus goal completed', but I included the other shot as well....

that was fun.

DarkNecrid · Aug 08, 2008, 08:57 AM // 08:57

In about 9 hours I'll post the final mission, calculate all the points etc so far, and the fun can begin.

caeleth · Aug 08, 2008, 08:58 AM // 08:58

aww no fair.. I'm off at our summerhouse for dad's 50th, so havent been able to log on since tuesday, and won't be back till sunday late. Would've been so much fun to do all these missions ^^

Ah well, gl to everyone on the last ones

Rift · Aug 08, 2008, 03:24 PM // 15:24

Wow I had the displeasure of doing Elona Reach after the AI update. Hero's are somehow twice as stupid as before >.< They kite (espcially monks) directly into the mobs, if not aggroing the next one, and somehow if they're casting a spell and the enemy is running away, they'll follow to their doom no matter what. Combine that with bad prophecies henchmen builds and buffed Ether Renewal/Sundering Attack on enemies, and you've got a very painful desert mission.

Anyways, everything was done in HM with no PvE-only skills, Glint has the login.

Mission #14: The Path of the Hero, Part II. a.k.a. The Grand Finale
This mission will end Monday afternoon CST. This is the last mission, so after this all items will go bye bye.

Enjoy~

Chooseable Dungeons:
You are allowed to pick all dungeons listed on this Wiki page, except for Fronis Irontoe's Lair and Secret Lair of the Snowmen.

Chooseable Elite Areas:
Fissure of Woe

Sorrow's Furnace and Tomb of the Primeval Kings are sometimes mistake for Elite Missions (debatable, they behave similar) but do not count for this!

Enjoy~
