-Figure out how to keep mobs (except the archer) away from the silver power source in the castle
-Change that ankh in the castle to a resurrection tile
-Move the coastal shadow nodes out into the water and try to make their line of sight only to water tiles
-Think about possible placement of mini safe zones for re-gearing that only work for those who are dead. Although this removes a lot of stress of the area that comes deliberately with a difficult quest. I am not going to commit to these unless I foresee them not being exploited...like the pre-casting invisibility and casting to reset aggro. =)

Great ideas on those. But I'm against the safe zone idea as well. How about increasing your "invincible" period after res to a higher timer? Could that be easier? I like the stress of having to worry about being sniper'ed due to the archers. I just need more time to load up :P.

Thank for not allowing [claim. it makes for some exciting time trying to loot, run, and run some more :P

Another concern you may want to address; Bracelets of Binding once inside the castle. Once inside Ximestis's room, you can bring in the troops. The hardest part of Sgail is actually getting into the castle and to Ximestis. maybe if someone uses the bracelet, send them outside the castle instead of in it.

I think its awesome the shard is stepping up. Before this there was hardly a point in taking are characters/guilds to higher levels. finely there's an end game :dance
I want you to feel pain, to contemplate pain, to accept pain, to know pain.

+Veritas,

Concerning the Heavenly Chord Quest: "Deamons remaining to be killed" counts down from 15, rather than the stated 30 Deamons required.

Opps...I will fix that now. All quests already obtained with the 15 requirement will stay as is. The true number the quest is looking for will always be the # remaining. In this temporary case...just ignore the request for 30.

Thanks!

EDIT: Now that is interesting...because your book says it requires 30 Daemons and 20 Balrons. Are you saying it waited until you killed 16 daemons before the countdown started? If so...I got nothing on why that is...

The first Daemon I killed gave me "14 Remaining Daemons to kill". After 15 Daemons were killed; The 30 Daemon requirement was fulfilled satisfactory, and rendered that portion of the quest completed.

Sometimes there are some enemy with a monster type but have an appearance change such as the Shadows are Succubus or the Umbris Remnant Elite and Titan Guardian is Minotaur Captain. For instance, the Wandering Zombie in Wrong is a daemon type with zombie skin. This enemy from Wrong Dungeon does count to fulfill requirement in Chord quest. This may or may not have affect your quest.

It's been so long now, i can't be entirely sure of sequence of events. Though, I'm fairly certain i checked Chord quest book requirements before engaging first daemon. Then checked it after fist kill, and many times checking it while slaying mobs. I'm fairly positive Chord started at 30 when entering Blood Dungeon. And of course, Chord book said i completed Balron and Daemon requirements before leaving this dungeon.

Was I mistaken on whole thing? it's been so long now.... who knows. At this point, either it works or it doesn't. :/
