Endgame Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 But what If I can offer more souls than he can? ~Insectoid Aristocrat Then you ge the helmet, duh? You want some gold, and your dapper hat back? I was rooting for you with that dapper hat, but unfortunately the die roll wasn't meant to be. Quote
Bricksandparts Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 How are people gaining so many glory points? I'm just now realizing that getting to 500 GP doesn't seem that bad. could someone make a version fo the map that shows the gained GP from each course? Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) It may be alright, I already found the perfect strategy to win in the arena... mwuahahaa!! Take a look to see how you'll be defeated! I'm only blinding you until you have no SP, then I'll blind AND frail you.... So only about under 10-15 ethers, then tops of 5 until you're toast. But you're right, if the dice aren't in my favour I could lose yet. Then you ge the helmet, duh? Excellent.... ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited May 13, 2013 by Dannylonglegs Quote

However, Sandy has already said that it's not possible to get 500 GP in one run through the Fields. (And that was before the amount of potential GP was reduced by the Obsidian Dragon's death.)

Ok, but how many battles did you guys do total? I'd like it if someone made a map that showed the GP from each stage. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Ok, but how many battles did you guys do total? I'd like it if someone made a map that showed the GP from each stage. We did... seventeen, I think? (Including the Obsidian Dragon, and K-nut, posades, and myself already had 20+ GP from a previous run - a party that took the same path we did right now would gain 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17=153 GP.)I'd say around a couple years of nothing but clearing the Fields and going back to do it again before you get to 500 GP. (Considering that by the time you've fought enough battles to gain a lot of GP per battle, the only battles left are the harder ones that take longer.) Quote
Bricksandparts Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Yeah, I see what you mean. I think some quests should probably award some glory points so that people still get a chance to RP unlike some people I could mention... Quote
Brickdoctor Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 No, the entire point of the Fields is that you go through non-stop battles in order to get GP. It doesn't make sense to award them in other quests. Quote
Bricksandparts Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 So, after a quick calculation, I'm guessing you can get 480 GP if you complete normal battles (assuming there are also 3 battles after each of the thresholds) and then you'd get 32+33+34=99 more GP, is Sandy sure you can't get 500 GP in 1 cycle? Quote
Flipz Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 It's next to impossible to make that sort of run, though--eventually, your luck, your consumables, or both will run out, and then you're toast. Odd question: if a party is ejected from the Fields by all members being KO'd, do they still get a chance to shop using their Glory Points? Quote

Where'd you get '32', '33', and '34' from? There are only thirty battles total. (plus the Jade Kraken and the Crystal Titan). That's 465 GP, plus the GP from the two remaining Threshold Guardians. So you could get 500 GP if you cleared the existing Fields, but once the two remaining guardians go down, you won't be able to. (They don't respawn.)And yes, there are three battles in each of the other two farther reaches. You can edit the URL of the Western Reaches map to see the Eastern Reaches and the Northern Reaches.

CMP Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I fondle my pouch of gold, wondering how I could put it to the best use. Why wait to sign up? That's just the kind of innuendo I need on Quest 69. And yes, there are three battles in each of the other two farther reaches. You can edit the URL of the Western Reaches map to see the Eastern Reaches and the Northern Reaches. Don't get excited, I would recommend parties of only Level 30s or higher go out there. It's got both the best drops and the best Specials. Quote

I had a feeling that that would be the case, that's why I want to put together the Heroica Dream Team when I next go back to the Fields. Oh, and the current proposed Dream Team includes either you, JimB, or both, so you guys can tell us what the Specials will be and optimize our artifacts before we go. Quote

So in other words, get you to Level 30, give you Docken's immune-to-everything Dread Hat and have you equip the Pheles Rod, and go to town with Special Mirror. Is that it? Quote
Palathadric Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Sylph Solanum (Dannylonglegs) Defense: 124 Wow! Is Sylph the best tank ever, or whatever. Brickdoctor, you'll have a hard time beating somebody with more than double your HP in SP and able to heal himself as well. Sorry, but the days of Docken the tank are over. Quote

I just realized how insane my current build (once I've finished my current deals) would be for the Fields. I mean, holy cow that'd be crazy... We just have to wait for me to hit 30 so we have full choice between Skirmisher, Regulator, and Sorcerer. Wow! Is Sylph the best tank ever, or whatever. Brickdoctor, you'll have a hard time beating somebody with more than double your HP in SP and able to heal himself as well. Sorry, but the days of Docken the tank are over. This amuses me far more than it should. Quote
Endgame Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I snuck in the Mythrogg's armor when nobody was looking. It's SP: 120. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 We just have to wait for me to hit 30 so we have full choice between Skirmisher, Regulator, and Sorcerer. I want to pick up a Minstrel, too, first, anyways. Although Alchemist Guts could do the trick, I think. Quote
Palathadric Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I'm actually consdering doing what Kadabra did for Arasmyth. I miss Kadabra. I have to say it was great seeing him in the latest Mafia though. Hopefully, he'll show up here soon. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I miss Kadabra. I have to say it was great seeing him in the latest Mafia though. Hopefully, he'll show up here soon. I thought he already had a second character prepared with a fleshed out backstory, too... A dwarf, if I remember correctly. Quote
Palathadric Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Death By Being Special Mirrored By Atramor not good enough for you? It's a lot more awesome than death by crazy demi-god. I fought and killed one of those. I've never killed a witch. Besides, wouldn't it be great reading the story of Arthur's life, and just when you think he's been saved from his mental issues, by getting stabbed by his god, Atramor pulls a fast one? Epic stuff! Quote
Flipz Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I want to pick up a Minstrel, too, first, anyways. Although Alchemist Guts could do the trick, I think. Alchemist Guts is in some ways slightly better, since he can use them AND attack in a turn, and he can spread them to us in between battles anyway. I do think we want a Druid, though. Quote
Palathadric Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Hey Count. We have decided not to mug you. Reputation please? It's called a deal he can't refuse. Quote
