I didn’t take advantage of the double experience as much as I wanted to, but I still got a bit done. Some craft levels, diplomacy levels, and adventure levels were all in the mix. One thing I wanted to work on that I’ve never actually completed before was an illusion mask. It’s a solo quest that you can pick up at level 24. You can find the walk through for it at VGwalkthroughs. The quest is quite simple and even more so now that factions move by 3x what they typically move by. Imirial the seducer (pictured above – the lady with the nice breasts) won’t speak with you until you have 12000 faction with her people. In order to get this faction you need to kill miners in a cave just before her. Now, typically the miners (and the cave) would turn KoS to you which is the real hassle of this quest. However since factions have been changed a few months back (and not changed back as of yet) by the time you reach the faction needed, the miners are NOT KoS to you.
It worked out fantastic. The quest is simple. Kill in the caves until you earn the faction required, and then pick up the quest. There’s two portions, one requires you to kill 20 mobs (low and behold they are the same ones that you’ve already been killing) and then kill 4 enforcers who also reside in the caves. Once those two quests are completed, you’ve finished your illusion mask! Oh yes, except for one more small detail. Although the quest is level 24 to obtain the mobs within the cave are level 27-28. Now, they are two dot (solo) mobs, so they CAN be defeated without too much trouble but be careful because there’s a good chance you’ll be pulling multiples.
The mask was a huge upgrade for my shaman, and I also managed to ding level 25 on completion. The bonus experience is over today and log in servers are down for maintenance, but I’m excited about what comes next. It’s hard to believe that I’m already level 25, even in a brotherhood with three other members. Having weekend bonus experience has been a huge bonus. On Saturday Nomadic Gamers headed to Trengal Keep and completed the first of six quests. Aside from one wipe when a dragon popped out of no where to pay us a visit it went fairly well, and we had a lot of fun. We need a few more levels before continuing on, but I’m looking forward to it. You may hear people in channels looking for TK1 or TK6 – that’s the Trengal Keep chain. I’ve never actually completed it before, so I don’t have the faintest idea what the rewards are, but so far I’ve gotten a pretty nice hat.
Happy gaming no matter where you find yourself. I’ll see you in Telon!
I had the trial and just subscribed to the game. It turned into the full game for my first months subscription price.
@Kaozz you’re actually correct, from what I’ve heard from 2 friends subscribing. Neither of them had to purchase the game. They just upgraded to a subscription from their trial versions and it worked.
MehI was wrong, I went to the site and looks as if it’s 19.99 with 30 days free.
I’m thinking of buying it still. Been enjoying reading about Stargrace’s adventures I’d like to go past the trial one of these days.
Little handy hint for any UK (or EU, or maybe even US persons): if you want some nice cheap VG gametime, or a way to avoid the massive download, Amazon.co.uk has, at the time of writing, VG available for just £2 (I believe that’ll be around $3.50 but I’m not up to date on the exchange rate atm ^^.)
I’m pretty sure you can just sub to it Victor. There is no option to buy only subscription.
@Victor – I have heard of people upgrading to station access and simply having access to the game, or simply subscribing and also having access but I can’t confirm that personally speaking.
Look for any member of nomadic gamer, and we’ll get you into the guild! Hope you enjoy it a lot!
By the way, one question before I head to bed.
Do I need to purchase the game so I can get a sub, or can I just pay fifteen dollars to get my sub going automatically?
Heyo. Planning on subbing for a month once my trial is up and I hope to join your guild during my stay on Telon.
Rolled a new character though, so you’ll have to message me again I suppose. Monk by the name of Lightheart. :) Cheers!
