The Approaching Shadow: Before the Assault (12th Entry)

Post by +Veritas »

With the full strength of the Umbris army quickly approaching, Stelios organized his officers within an operations base at the center of Britain to develop a defense strategy, collect intelligence, and initiate guerrilla warfare against established Umbris groups. The majors serving under Stelios have their own tasks that need to be done to help defend Britian. While Stelios could use your help on a task that he is keeping secret from his own officers, he needs to be sure that your dedication to the defense of Excelsior is strong and unwavering. To prove this to him, you must complete the tasks given to you by the majors that accompany him in Britian.

Information Regarding the Quests in Felucca Britian:

-Difficulty ranges from easy to moderately difficulty, depending on the resources available to each player and tactics used.

-There are 8 majors around the strategy table, each of which have a single non-repeatable quest available. Not all of these quests are required for the main quest that Stelios will give. To accept the quest the NPC has available, read the book on the table in front of them and speak the indicated word.

-All supplemental special items that are collected as part of a quest are temporary, so collecting a bunch of them will be a waste of time

-All rewards are permanent, and will not decay. (Trust me)

-Areas with large spawn numbers will have monsters with no rewards. This is to keep unnecessary camping down while allowing players to complete the kill requirements of their quest.

-IMPORTANT: The method by which NPCs take and give rewards and quest items has been drastically improved and tested to work 100% of the time. This is because the NPCs now take and give items at the same time, rather than first take and have to trigger the give action. This being said, I still strongly urge you to take single steps within a 2 tile radius of each NPC when you approach them with a completed quest book. NEVER, drop a completed quest book to trouble shoot an NPC not giving you a reward. This is because you have already completed the quest and therefore cannot complete it again. Always check that you have only one of each of the quest books available in your backpack, and that you drop (dismiss) the quest book that is NOT completed and doesn't have a collected item. After you make sure you have a single quest book for the quest you are completing, and that all requirements within the quest book are met, then page for staff if the NPC is not working.

Help other players that need the help. All shard rules apply to these quests. These quests are made to be done once per account. All attempts to complete these quests more than once per account will be logged and watched, and will be treated as exploiting.

Also, have fun! =) Pace yourselves. You have plenty of time to complete these quests.

More storyline to come soon.

Special thanks to +Nyx for her awesome decorating and development help. =)

These quests will run until February 11th, 11:59pm EST (February 12th 5:59am Shard Time)
