Brief Event Overview

Allied with Shalowain and other NPCs, raid must stop the advancement of the Rallosian army.

Multi stage event with various fighting locations. Be prepared to move.

At event start, Rallosian mobs spawn and charge the raid.

Raid has limited time to kill mobs before being teleported to stage two area. Any remaining adds from stage one will follow.

Once teleported, raid encounters war boars, boar handlers and war wraiths.

Allied NPCs will lead the way to stage three location, where more Rallosian adds will spawn and attack.

Allied NPCs will lead the way to the final stage location where minibosses and raid boss spawn.

Ground auras and emotes come into play during event.

Strategy

Stage 1: Rallosians; Hex, Warlock, Soldiers, Linebreaker

Kill Hexes and Warlocks first. They are both indiffent but cast ground auras that need to be avoided.

Assist MA to kill remaining adds.

Stage 2: War Boars, Boar Handlers, War Wraiths

Kill war boars, handlers and war wraiths as they spawn and attack.

Healers and Casters maintain a distance of at least 65' from war wraiths to avoid AE mana drain and silence.

Stage 3: Rallosian Hunters

Kill Rallosian hunters that spawn from underground marketplace and charge the raid, then move to stage four.

Stage 4: Minibosses and Boss

Tight formation.

Melee on Firethorn.

Casters on Darga.

Then assist MA to kill Margator, Yarith, and Captain Kar the Unmovable.

Rangers and Rogues kill Archers. Archers indifferent; susceptible to headshot/assassinate.

Get out of red Ball of Fire aura (trigger warns).

Players emoted with Hot or Cold Flames - MOVE to designated campfire to dissipate (when opposite flames contact they cancel each other out).

Final Fugue - Event Map:

Tanks:
- MTO be prepared to grab aggro if current MT is hit with Shield Crash
- MTO face Kar away from raid (Frontal AE)

Healers and Paladins:
- Continuous splashing as there are several AE's in effect
-

MA Kill Order: Darga, Firethorn, Margator, Yarith

That's it for now!

This is a preliminary write up, which will be amended accordingly based on our experiences and feedback provided by our raiders.

Start Event

Event is triggered by keyword, speaking with Elmara Emberclaw and using keyword defy her.

Elmara Emberclaw says, 'Ah, you have arrived, as someone always seems to arrive, though some soon [leave]. Shalowain has quenched the forge.' Elmara seems deeply saddened by what she sees before her, but she sheds no tears. 'It is a shame that all of our efforts to battle evil and right wrongs in the world have led us to this impasse, to fighting each other. I guess there is no going back for her, and I will not be drawn into her fight. She believes that heroes can only be forged in battle, out in the world harming some to protect others. I don't deny that this may be necessary at times, but it is not the only way one can help. There are heroes on the farm and in the home as much as they exist on the battlefield. I guess she cannot accept this as [truth].'

Elmara Emberclaw says, 'Well, I believe so, with all my heart. And I believe that convincing farmers, cooks, and fisherfolk to go to war for what they believe in is not always correct. Shalowain refuses to accept that, and so here she is, trying to stop my work by force. I can only see this as evidence that she is mistaken. I will not [fight her]. She is my friend, despite what she seems to have become, and I gave up fighting for creating.'

Elmara Emberclaw says, 'I acknowledge that there are as many ways to be a hero as there are people. While I would not wish harm upon her, I would be grateful if she were to stop this and allow me to return to my work. Of course, even if she were to leave now the forge would still be out. It should be possible to relight it if you can recover the [Spark] that she took from within.'

Elmara Emberclaw says, 'Everyone has a Spark, the essence of what drives them on. A hero's Spark can be an outright blaze. I gave a good portion of my own Spark to light the forge the first time and I am not sure I could do so again. Shalowain has taken that Spark for herself. While a Spark can never really be destroyed, it can be portioned, given, and taken. With that portion of my Spark she will have even more power. I will have to make something that will allow you to recover my Spark. They are dangerous to handle. The fact that she was able to take mine is rather concerning, in fact. But she has always been strong. Either way, she has chosen this fight and so it is only right if you choose to [defy her].'

Achievements:

- Cracked
-- Allow no spider eggs to hatch.

- Let It Rest
-- Never activate the depleted forgebound.

- Soundproof
-- Do not allow anyone to cause an Echo to be released.

Lore:

Event Reset:

You have left one of your enemies idle and their Spark fades. The forge can no longer be relit.

Start Event

Event is triggered by hailing Master Magus Trablic

Dhakka Nogg shouts, 'Listen to me! Have you forgotten what war is? It is not all about torturing captured enemies! It is not about forcing non-combatants to fight for you! It is about strategy, tactics, planning, skill, and bravery. You have become more like the trolls and their desire that everything live in fear.' Blood coats her clothing, weakness from what must have been brutal beatings making it difficult for her to maintain her balance.

Master Magus Trablic shouts, 'You coward! Refusing to fight, refusing orders from your commanders! How dare you try to tell me, to tell the commander, how war is to be delivered! Get her out of there!'

Dhakka Nogg shouts, 'Come near me, you clods, and I will burn off your precious top-knots along with your less precious heads!'

Master Magus Trablic shouts, 'Don't listen to her! Get in there!'

Dhakka Nogg shouts, 'Too much of a coward to come after me yourself, Trablic? This is the way you do things. You send recruits to do your fighting for you. You take prisoners and push them in front of your army, as if that is how it should be done. Would Rallos Zek push weaklings before him to fight, or would he send his trained troops to fight a worthy opponent? Think! There is a time for mindless anger in battle, but cold brutality has no part in war, and especially not in preparation for war!'

Master Magus Trablic shouts, 'Enough talking! If she won't do as ordered, she is a traitor and deserves death!'

Achievements:

Freelance Ramblings / Are you still missing ToL raid achievements?

« on: October 22, 2022, 04:51:43 AM »

Make sure you send a request once the event is called if you need any of the following achievements:

Free the Goranga - Price of No Freedom

Doomshade - All Togather Now

Netherbian Swarm Commander - Save the Innocent

Shei Vinitras - Mending Ways

All other events the achievements are part of our normal strategy. You do not need to request those. It is implied that we are always going for them.

Send me a tell in game once the event is announced by Furro, so that adjustments can be made ahead of time.

Freelance Ramblings / Fix Your Specialization Skills

Raccoo — Yesterday at 2:22 PM
Casters and Priests

- Made the following changes to specialization skills:
- - Corrected an issue where the difference in specialization skills slowly disappeared starting with level 91, having been completely eliminated by level 120.
- - Once a player is above level 40, their secondary specialization skill cap (from Secondary Forte) will be set to 50 skill points below the primary cap, while tertiary specializations are 100 points below the primary skill cap. This should smooth the difference in skill values from level 40 to 120.
- - Characters over level 90 who had high third, fourth, and fifth specialization skills have had those skills updated to be below the tertiary cap. You will have to intentionally improve your specialization skill again. See Ostorm in the Temple of Solusek Ro to reorder your skills.

This means you will have to relevel your specialization skills. If you level your primary to 246, and your secondary to 196, the rest of the leveling up will fall in accordingly.

Please make sure you have checked your specializations before raids tonight.
