Sortie Release - Info

And added sector D, less certain on this one but it should resemble reality.

Worth noting, you will still have those KI when you go in next time, so can run straight to boss. They will be consumed if you kill the boss though, and worth noting that a degree of the Boss difficulty might come from not killing all the mobs in the same area.

Sounds like other groups did a similar thing where the KIs carried over and they ran pretty much straight to Leshonn and killed him and then continued the run (farmer more temp items etc.) so I think as long as you have the metal it should be fine.

If I'm understanding this correctly:

Farming KIs for each quadrant:
Key: access to next area
Shard: NM warp access
Metal: Weaken NM
Plate: Reset mobs device

Is it possible to have/farm Shard/Metal/Plate. Kill the NM. Reset the quadrant, then farm another set to kill the NM a 2nd time?

Can you just cycle the Obdella area and kill the salamander over and over in the same run by resetting mobs and re-getting KIs?

Looks like another, extra area was added:


Didn't have [U2] before.

Our second run;

#A Coffer Triggers
1/7 - Open the door at D-4 - Brown Chest Key #A Worked
2/7 - Kill Aubdela - Red Chest 500 Muffins Worked
3/7 - WS kills (x?) - Blue Chest 120ish Muffins Worked
4/7 - Magic Damage (?) - Brown Chest Shard #A Didnt work.. Do we need to do on a specific enemy type?
5/7 - Magic Kills (?) - Brown Chest Metal #A Didnt work.. Do we need to do on a specific enemy type?
6/7 - Self-cast Enhancing (I did refresh both times) at I-5 teleporter - Brown Chest Plate #A Worked
7/7 - ??? Tried JAs, enfeebs, SCs. Maybe choose respawn at the teleporter and kill all again?



#B Coffer Triggers
1/7 - Magic Damage Kills - Brown Chest Shard #B Worked only on elementals
2/7 - Magic WS Kills - Brown Chest Metal #B Worked only on elementals
3/7 - Physical WS Kills? - ?? Couldn't trigger on 2nd run ran outta time.

My guess is that area is reserved for the +3 content and not implemented yet. We’ve figured out how to get the currency, sapphires, and +1 (and rarely +2) earrings. That’s pretty much all the content so far. You can do all the +2 upgrades with that and get some decent earrings. Only thing left to figure out is optimization probably.

Are you sure? Kujah posted this yesterday:

This was my experience as well, tried killing with SC, both light and dark, radiance and umbra. Killed stuff with LS, hitting for over 35k. Tried on all mob types in A.

We got to the end with 10 mins left and chose to respawn mobs. Respawned mobs are worth less a;lskdjf;als than the previous ones. Cleared all the hecteyes again. No change KI or chest wise.

A follow-up to getting Shiny Plate entry KI. Like others have said, you don't get it from the Goblin. I afk'd near the entry point to Sortie and my KI refreshed itself automatically without any interaction on my part. So as someone above me said, probably just being within 20' of the entry at the correct time should provide your new Shiny Plate. This is nice, you don't have to remember to log in to grab it like Odyssey or Omen. Just leave your character clogging the area like everyone else! (hurr durr asura problems)

My run for the day, only did magic damage kills except for bossA. Brought a thf and got up to th10 before he died. no personal drops

#A Coffer Triggers
1/7 - Open the door at D-4 - Brown Chest 100 Muffins, probably because already had key?
2/7 - Kill Aubdela - Red Chest 500 Muffins
3/7 - WS kills (x?) - Blue Chest 100 Muffins: could just be kills, did no WSs
4/7 - Magic Damage (?) - Brown Chest 100 Muffins: Unsure on this since box only popped on deaths.
5/7 - Magic Kills (?) - Brown Chest 100 Muffins
6/7 - Self-cast Enhancing at I-5 teleporter - Brown Chest Plate #A
7/7 - ??? Tried JAs, enfeebs, SCs. Maybe choose respawn at the teleporter and kill all again?



#B Coffer Triggers
1/7 - Magic Damage Kills - Did Magic Damage Kills on Fire Elementals and Umbrils, No chests
2/7 - Magic WS Kills -
3/7 - Physical WS Kills? - ?

Does the Ruspix plate stop storing time once you restore your Shiny plate or only once you enter again? I'm not sure. . . but if the Ruspix does stop storing time when you get the shiny plate, it's probably best to only restore your dull plate when preparing to enter Sortie.

Same. For Room/Area A, we tried Skillchains, Magic Burst, regular Magic kills, Elemental WS Kills, Physical WS kills etc. Never got more than 4 objectives (Blue Box physical, Red box NM, Door Box, Buff box). None of the Plate/Etc boxes

We did get another Brown box with the #2 Plate on the Elementals with an Aeolian Edge kill, but I can't confirm it was because of the Aeolian Edge or if it was just kills in total/Rng.

Also, despite the server maintenance on the zone, when my timer hit 0:00, my brother exited but my character never exited. Like, my model vanished, but the screen never dimmed and It never booted me out, I couldn't move, nothing. Just sitting invisible surrounded by my trusts with the timer in the top left at 0:00

For Brown Chest Shard #B and Brown Chest Metal #B all i do is dd burn the ele's using fudo and savage blade and get blue chest than 2 brown back to back both with the above items in them so i don't think you need magic for either

If anyone have the zone dialogue .dat information that usually offer some clues to the mechanics. Possibly for the chests etc. It's been a long time so not sure if POLutils is still around and functioning or something similar.

Are you guys testing these triggers solo or full groups? Should specify cause like in Omen, the more peeps you bring the more you have to do. Ie solo might be 3 ws kills, but alliance needs 30 etc like that.

Is Asura still in the hours waiting period?

The pages were a lot more mild earlier. Was around 12 pages an hour ago. But expected to grow as the evening goes on

Just trying to get a gauge on how fast they roll post-maintenance. Someone mentioning selling queue spots is hilarious, cause it's so true on Asura.

Not sure post maintenance, if they did anything to speed it up. But last night, I was estimating 2 pages every 12-15 minutes or so on average. However, there was one stretch of 20 minutes where 7 pages went by, but that’s probably just a result of a bunch of people entering/exciting around the same time.

Is it supposedly faster today? Someone mentioned this to me and I noticed the line was a lot shorter, but I didn’t see anything that would speed that process up. Maybe I missed what the maintenance did.

4/7 was 5+ kills for more than 10k on south camp Acuex with S.Floe.
5/7 was 5+ kills for more than 10k on north camp Acuex (before leeches) with Entomb.

Checked logs to confirm what went on for those two. We are gearing up to go again and will update after the few runs we do tonight. We may go exclusively proc fishing again just to try and find them instead of farming muffins.

Also, all data I've posted was done at 6 people since that was asked.

Misc. information regarding first area + nq earrings:

1) Ghatjot healed from 80k distortion skillchain and retaliated with heavy damage Clobbering Wave immediately after despite having metal.



2) 2nd time fighting Ghatjot, both times I cleaved the first area with blu magic, specifically tenebral crush/entomb/spectral floe/anvil lightning

3) NQ earring caps at +10? macc/acc

4) TH most likely affects NM personal drops- didn't use any TH yesterday and got nothing, used thf main and got both sapphire and old case

A) Resting is a coffer

I went in on RDM both days and while I also got nothing day 1, I did find two sapphires on day two as well. It may just be super random what we get.

My group today found a chest by resting on the elevated portion of the floor in the room just behind the #A-1 door at D-4. Another group in my circle got the same chest a few hours later on their run, in the same spot.

Ok it's still broke on Asura, instance got stuck and now I can't log in. Error 3001, no response from server when trying to login.

Nice, I tried resting in several spots today with no success but didn't try there, will give it a go tomorrow.

When I entered today a few hours after my KI refreshed, 3220 seconds were added to my Ruspix plate.

Edit: I can also confirm that Bosses can sometimes drop nothing, as we got no drop at all from Leshonn tonight.

Confirmed, as soon as my entire group rested in the same spot we got a blue chest for 100 galli.
