LvL 50 Gorgolog armor quests please help.

[Gumja]

Anyone know where to hunt to get the components for the lvl 50 armor quests in Gorgalog? Please help. Thanks in advanced.

Anyone know where to hunt to get the components for the lvl 50 armor quests in Gorgalog? Please help. Thanks in advanced.

Same problem here. Is it bugged atm?

Gorgalok faction - swamp armor:
Found spore lords around lizardmen city dropping the wind essences, which are needed for some swamp armor parts.

Flordiel faction - flordiel armor:
The Gorgaloks itself drop armor parts for Flordiel armor and some skin, that can be used for crafting (journeyman). In Flordiel i found a vendor which sells 4 crafting ingredients. So maybe the Flordiel armor needs to be crafted or there are two versions (one quest and one crafting).

Ichtakhta faction:
No armor related drops for me so far.

Further puzzle pieces highly appreciated!

Gorgoluk - huge Sebilis style dungeon in the deadland swamps; next on schedule for the team finishing SouthwatchWrapping up now, will be completed by this Friday and pushed the following week

this was on the dev tracker on the post with all the dungeons and their status yesterday. So its probaly not itemized in atm.

[Tsudanosh]

We're still working on the Gorgalog Swamp area, most of which is nearing the completion stages and will then be pushed to the live servers.

Some of the quests unintentionally snuck by and were flipped on! Not a huge deal, but it does look like things are bugged and such when the actual issue is that the area is not yet fully fleshed out =)

Hang onto those components though! They're not worthless =)

[Reflection]

I have enjoyed exploring this area and collecting some bits with my group, although we suspected the area was not complete. However, I was disappointed to find clerics lumped in with medium armor yet again! =( Could you possibly add a trade in for heavy armor as with the Infineum line or let us use the melee plate? Disciples get a choice if they wish to wear melee or healer stats medium armor. Of course we have not seen the actual Flordiel quests yet, but I am assuming it is similar to the Gorgalok quests.

Glad to hear that. Thx for the update!

Meanwhile, could you consider to give clerics a Heavy Armor version of the armor instead of Medium? :p

The armor quests do not stop there =)

There is the base version (which you've seen via the quests that unintentionally hit the live servers) and the improved version.

Clerics, being the odd-one out in terms of itemization, receive the medium healer set as the base version. The improved version, however, will result in plate armor.

I love clerics! I didn't forget about you guys =)

[rinweth]

Wait a min... There is yet another armor quest grind to work on coming up? I've spent weeks on the Wardship stuff and I'm almost 41, and not even done the whole set. Any word on beefing up the rewards there first?

[Elidroth_SGO]

Just an update:

We're wrapping up the majority of the city areas here today, with all the changes coming likely in the next patch (no ETA).

As for these quests... We're simply trying to give players several avenues to get the equipment they need, and avoid creating that 'one item' EVERY [insert class here] MUST have.

Just because the quests are here, doesn't mean you HAVE to do them. It just gives you more options.

[Dakirn]

Just curious for those of us who haven't started these yet.. are there actually different armor sets for each faction?

[Elidroth_SGO]

Yes.

[Dakirn]

Yes.

Interesting. I hope there's a disciple combat set in there like with MoP :D

Thanks Elidroth!

[ramar]

Thanks Elidroth!
Yeah, it sound like the celestine armor, but higher level. Hoping to see it soon on live servers :D

[Dakirn]

Just need to see how the stats on the different sets flow then so I can decide which one I want to do :cool:

[arkand]

I have enjoyed running around this area.

There are a few things I was wondering will be address in the patch changes.


1) the velkor breeder only titled named in gorgalok that isnt itemized

2) the triggered bloodpriest if there is someone who bugged out the encounter run off the blood guardians get them caught in the walls it doesnt reset and no one else can do it til server reset.

3) the champion ring event is either a one time deal or doesnt ever reset. This was one of my most favorite chanlenges of the city : )

4) the sign post to the council of the elders is pointing in the wrong direction.

Thanks
Arkand

[Nightmare]

Where did you get those quests? I was looking around the area but only found that all 3 factions are aggro to me. Is there some neutral base I didn't find?

[PlacentaBurrito]

you must raise faction by killing mobs from the 2 opposing factions... and you start at -10k with all.

[tdewey10]

What sucks is that we don't know about any but the Gorg armor right now before we start raising faction. So could be the best monk armor is one of the other factions.

[Tsudanosh]

The outpost of Elani covers, perhaps too subtlety, how each civilization develops their armaments through the introduction quest as well as introducing you to the appropriate emissary of one of the three factions.

A quick rundown!


Flordiel - Balanced
Vsurog Moor - Offensive
Ichtakhta - Defensive


It is important to speak with the emissary to avoid some unnecessary grinding.

The introductory quests and such have not made it to the live servers, but it should clear up some confusion once it does!

Fixed next patch. I must have forgotten to attach his loot.


2) the triggered bloodpriest if there is someone who bugged out the encounter run off the blood guardians get them caught in the walls it doesnt reset and no one else can do it til server reset.


Also fixed. Tishra will despawn after 15 minutes (if not agro), at which point the encounter will reset.


3) the champion ring event is either a one time deal or doesnt ever reset. This was one of my most favorite chanlenges of the city : )


This just has a long respawn timer. I'll probably shorten this up a bit so more people have a shot at it during the day, but it still won't be up all the time.


4) the sign post to the council of the elders is pointing in the wrong direction.


Fixed next patch.

Found the emissary but he wont speak to me. (I'm DE is this why?)

Also spent almost 2 hours trying to find the outpost of Elani to no avil. Anyone able to hint a little as to it's location please. I pretty much mapped all of that chunk and nodda.

Aslo it seems that you only get 2 faction per trash mob. Do the named give you anymore faction than the trash and/or is there any other faction boosts. Like turn ins of any kind?

Thanks for any info on this in advance.

[hawnz]

why is everything a faction grind in this game? aren't there better ways of making something difficult without making us kill 10000-15000 trash mobs?

[Elidroth_SGO]

Faction and faction rewards are very much in the works right now. The faction associated with the areas isn't required as yet (other than not being KOS with the city) to do the armor quests and such.

[Cavaras]

Grinding faction by killing trash mobs is rewarding and adventurous, didnt ya know that by killing the same mob over and over, is entertaining and exciteing, I love to kill the same Mob(s) over and over again just so i cant talk to an npc that is kos at start to me, doing interesting quests like saving them from an attack or bringing them food, or helping thier crops is not the way to make them like you no, kill 100000 of their enimies is the only way to get thru to them... (Sarcasim)

Basicly the faction grind is becuase the people who write the quests have no real talent for making interesting, yet challenegeing ways to do quests in this game or havent you noticed that? I am not knocking the developers for the hard work they are doing trying to get content out but at the same point i am challengeing them to find better ways to do them. Grinding faction sucks its boring and unrewarding to kill the same mob over and over and over, at least allow alternatives, quests would be good, but repeatable if not enough content involved to progress on them.

Most of the time quests stop before they give enough of what u are doing them for or end to soon. How about make a progressive faction based quest, with it getting harder and harder every time, maybe send u to another contient or somewhere else in the game as part of thier story, long and drawn out would be better then sitting in the same spot pulling, killing, pulling killing. there is many ways you can make this more rewarding and progressive like the game should be, this would allow soloers to grind our faction killing mobs and doing some of the quest, and it would give progressive groups the ability to work together to do some rewarding quests in order to raise thier faction and have fun.
Put in some fun stuff, fun spells for each class, fun crafting things, gezz yas didnt even acknowlege easter or april fools, i know your probley busy with other stuff, but there has to be a better way, your customers want to have fun, they want to enjoy thier time on not feel like a 2nd job just to do quests, thats what raiding is for =P oh wait no raiding content or abilities to form a raid... No promised flying mount quests, no water zones, no underwater zones, there is still locked/closed parts of the world. Boats cant even travel outside thier water lines. We paid good money for the game, we pay every month for subscription, we get pushed to be the beta testers of the live server with double xp weekend x2. We get to 40+ and what content is available? grind fests!! WOOT!

A quick rundown!

Thanks for info. I hope that we will be able to see the rewards before we make the decision which faction to choose.

[Therian]

I found a Gorgalok quartermaster who offered sets of leather ranging from blue (solo and small group) to yellow (group for legs and raid for chest). Here's a couple:

Mind giving me an idea of where roughly you found these?

Also I'm not getting any faction hits for Vsurog Moor specificaly. Is Vsurog the same faction as simply Gorgalok?

[Katago]

Just an fyi for those that are complaining about faction... you get about 1k faction for killing the city mobs (4-5 dots) so if you really want that gorgalok faction go kill the bugs and get 1k gorgalok and 500 flordiel per kill. There is also a nice set of caves for grinding where the bugs have a 5 minute respawn timer.

I'm confused on this one. All i found was flordiel Trees and some the itchaka (sp) that each gave only 2 faction so far. What city mobs are you refering to?

Does all this take place in the Gorgalok chunk? Because I realy thought I did a decent job of checking that whole area and I didnt see anything that looked like a city other than Vursog Moor.

[PlacentaBurrito]

lol those bugs were totally bugged and now give 2 gorg and 1 treehugger rep...

As far as straight grinding the mobs give 2 / 1 / -2 for trash and 10 / 5 / -10 for named mobs.

There is a quest north of Vursoog Moor to collect bug parts or something but I've never done it.

[Dakirn]

Is that picture broken for anyone else?

[Garn]

Is that picture broken for anyone else?

Broken for me yes.

Also..

/bump anyone know where I get the quests? ;)

People keep posting but no one has yet to respond. Are they actualy inside the city of Vursog Moor? I't is that questline I want to do if it indeed is the offensive line as posted. Do I simply need to grind away on bugs until the emisary will talk to me and until I can enter the city to get said quests?

My confusion is stemming from the dev post mentioning the outpost of Elani which I can not seem to locate.

If it is simply 3 competing city's and I pick one then all is well. But what is the deal with this Elani outpost? :rolleyes:

[Elidroth_SGO]

Yes. Vsurog Moor is the current home of the Gorgalok.

[Garn]

Yes. Vsurog Moor is the current home of the Gorgalok.

Thanks Elidroth!

It all makes alot more sense now.

After re-reading the entire thread I'm guessing that part of what you said isn't implimented was infact the Elani Outpost itself. I think i missed that part originaly and that was causing the confusion as I searched high and low for it lastnight.

Thanks again for responding. My group is definately looking forward to this.

[Katago]

hmm I guess I'm glad I got the maxed faction before they nurfed it then. I was in the Ichtaka city and killing their vendors and guards (The vendors are lvl 20ish and have 500k hp *shudder*) I guess I should have known something was wrong when the 3 dot flying bugs were giving 1k as well. Oh well I guess that is the only perk I recieve for grinding out my levels.

(I was here before the nurf on the Dreadknight's slay ability. We were able to check hp on the mobs by slaying them so it was a while ago and I've not checked any patch notes since then.)

[Therian]

I was just randomly wandering Vsurog Moor. It was a group of mobs near a natural stone arch over the laneway.

[Elidroth_SGO]

All will become clear in the next patch :D

Seriously.. what you're playing in right now was very much 'in-progress' when it got pushed live. The fully functional stuff is going in the next patch.

But don't consider it 'finished'. We still have a lot more we'd like to do here when we have some time. Things like adding more flavor/lore type quests, more events, etc. Plus there's that whole Gorgaluk Dungeon thing too :cool:

[Cavaras]

and when is this next patch? its been like 2 weeks since anything hit live =( a couple of things that i think would be good to let the management know.

A- Having to look on other servers for info about Vanguard is good but not having a uniform place to keep us informed we can feel that your not doing anything so i would like to request a sigil fourm somewhere hosted by you guys with info on upcomming patches, the thing u have going really lacks atm and needs improvement. Upcomming stuff does not cut it, we want to know even a questimate when stuff is gonna be out.

B- Even though we do appreciate that you are all working hard on stuff, alot of us feel that we are paying to beta test, heck that is fine to a point. I know i roll with a group of 4 people daily and spend about 4-5 hours a night online, lately since we hit 45, we starting to get the feeling that this game is in more serrious trouble then when we did when it was launched early. You have a decent amount of people 45+ without stuff to do, by the time the stuff is put into the game, its gonna be like a year old before its at a "decent" level of content and stuff fixed. I know its not easy what yas do but focusing on stuff and letting us know is more important to us then not word when next patch is hopeing to be put out, or what kinda stuff is gonna be in it. I mean let me quote the box..

"Build and command your own ships, navigating treacherous tides and dangerous storms"

What tides and storms is this refering to?

"Explore a seamless and immerisive world free of zoning and instances"
Why is there chunks? I zone into other chunks to lose mobs on agro, why dont they follow me if its not free of zoning? LOL

I at times think Vanguard is just blowing smoke up our... well you know what i mean, If i buy a car, i expect there to be tires and an engine in it. With Vanguard we got the Car and the tires but no engine.. Drop any ideas for an expansion, get those people on content of current existing stuff, then put em back on it when the game is completed..\

Sorry to get off foucus here, just very passionate about this game, I want it to work out, I love the art, i love the world, I dont love paying to play somthing that is not finished, i can deal with bugs, i can deal with low server numbers, i can deal with grinding faction if i must, but i cant deal with not having anything to do... I didnt rush to 45+ i went slow, the double xp weekend, the 3 days before game ships, the xp increase, heck i even lost a lvl i was never reinbursed, i am playing the game at the speed u set for people who play. We have passed you guys by in regards to content. If you want to keep that customer base get rolling out some stuff finished or not.

How can this be going live next patch without being on the test server first? What about there rumors of mergeing servers? KEEP US INFORMED, ON YOUR WEBSITES!!!!!!

It's on the test servers as of today. And there is an affiliate site dedicated to informing of test server patches and what not, and they do post on it regularly.

There are a few things you can do at this point. Complaining to a Dev that I'm sure knows the state of the game he is working on is far from constructive. Either find one of the many things to do at your level or make a more constructive post.

Do you really think the Dev's don't know more than you about the game and the state of thier customers enjoyment or lack there of?

I'm not trying to be an ass but this is a post regarding a question about a certian questline. Which a Dev that is responsible for posted in to help us understand the way things are and they way they are going to be in this area and along this questline.

I look in here to see you complaining about nothing that has not been said a dozen times by a dozen other complainers.

You have the right to piss and moan all you want but can you follow some of the common courtesy rules we all know and keep that crap in the rants and flames forum where it belongs?

Not everyone in the Quests forum wants to read about your issues and brilliant Ideas (that no one else has though of) :rolleyes:

[Dupre]

When I hit the mid 40s and realized there was not a lot of content implemented yet I switched from adventuring to crafting. I am glad I did because the crafting sphere is a very well thought out and rich experience in itself. I still consider myself to be primarily an adventurer but I am not the type to grind XP mindlessly. Vanguard has three distinct and engaging spheres to sink time into. If you run out of content in on simply explore another for a while. Give it time and you’ll see the 45 – 50 content come on-line and I think you’ll be glad you didn’t out-level it grinding your way to 50.

[PlacentaBurrito]

But if we didnt grind it out to 50 we wouldnt already have max faction with gorgalok and floridel from killing bugged mobs! I feel kind of dirty =( but pls dont reset my faction lol.

Elidroth, I'm not sure If you meant todays patch or not. I saw a few references to the area but nothing regarding the outpost of Elani or any additional quests in the area.

So did the fully functional stuff make it in this patch or is slated for the next one?

Thanks for any feedback in advance!

[Reflection]

There are quests at the Elani outpost now, including quests pointing you to ambassadors for all 3 factions.

However, the ambassador for the Flordiel does not seem to be fully implemented - while the other ambassadors give a continuing quest he says nothing. We could not find anything in the Flordiel city itself either. This leaves us in a bit of a dilemma, as we could do the Ichtakhta quests, but they want us to kill the Flordiel - and we have gathered quite a bit of the Flordiel armor while killing the frogloks =/

[Elidroth_SGO]

FROGLOKS?!?!!

:eek:

Yea, I could swear I heard one say, "Frrooaak!" :p

[Garn]

My m ain problem is I have yet to locate the Elani outpost. Unless it is that outpost just down the big hillside mountain with all the elven theme's to it. But When i entered that place from every side available it never game me a message stating what it was.. pre-patch of course


I too want to focus on killing the Floridiel myself. I want to do the offensive and defensive ones.

[Rishara]

Well, I really want to know if the upgrade quests are in and the ability to finish the base set is in yet... Any word from the dev? :)

No NPC will talk to you if your faction with them is lower than -8500 (well.. -8499 technically).

Which emissary isn't speaking to you?

[arkand]

I have + 7500 faction or neg 2500 dynamic floridiel faction and they will talk to me but tell me to leave that im not a friend and there are no quest in any of the areas there.

[Reflection]

No NPC will talk to you if your faction with them is lower than -8500 (well.. -8499 technically).

Which emissary isn't speaking to you?

The Flordiel emissary has no quests to offer beyond completing the introduction from the Elari outpost. At 4.4k dynamic faction (-5600 or so full) with the Flordiel, we had the same experience as Arkand - there are no quests in the city that we can find.

[hawnz]

what's the faction requirement to be non-kos?

[Elidroth_SGO]

what's the faction requirement to be non-kos?

-8500 and lower is KOS

[Bulldog]

Resetting the faction was talked about a few weeks ago, but we decided against it - so you can rest easy =)

So what do those of that have -20k faction have to do now since we did this before the quests were known?

Screwed?

[hawnz]

-8500 and lower is KOS

is this stuff gonna require max faction like wardship, cuz i really have no desire to grind out 20k faction on +2 faction mobs.

[Tsudanosh]

The armor quests do not require maximum faction or anything, just that you are not KoS.

We are still working on further improvements to the area and incorporating factional mechanics into it is of high importance.

The armor quests, however, do not require maximum faction by any means.

is this stuff gonna require max faction like wardship, cuz
i really have no desire to grind out 20k faction on +2 faction mobs.

[Tsudanosh]

Preferably not, no. I have some ideas on how to allow players to choose another civilization to be allied with... without require endless amounts of grinding.

So what do those of that have -20k faction have to do now since we did this before the quests were known?

[arkand]

When the data was compiled for the patch were the quest for the city of floridiel not attached like the others were i can find faction and armor quest for all but that one city. Also, atm faction doesnt matter at all with neg 17500 faction i can still get any and all the quest in gorgalok only the merchants wont talk or sale to you.

[soulseeker]

Tsudanosh

ok let us make it easy for you

the other factions emissary's when you first talk to them give you a quest to do what ever....FLORDIEL (Esurin) does not give you anything no initial quest as the other two faction greeters do ...is this as intended or a bug?

[Bulldog]

Preferably not, no. I have some ideas on how to allow players to choose another civilization to be allied with... without require endless amounts of grinding.

Excellant, I only killed like 30 of those bugs or something, and they were bugged Im guessing and gave like 1000 faction per kill.

[jojo]

Figured we'd poke aroudn here tonight after being disappointed with Tehatamani stuff, and everyone decided to go for Gorgalok faction. Did the prequest, went to the _Gorg_ emmisary who gave us a quest to collect 25 eyes from ichtakhta. No probs....until we turn in that quest and get hit with this from the _Gorgalok Emmisary_ So after doing the Gorgalok faction quest, we are now non kos to Ichtakhta and Flordiel but went BACKWARDS with Gorgalok. What gives?

These quests look like great content. But the stats need looking at before they're worth doing for arcane casters.

The current stats showing for the Gorgalok have higher wis and lower int. These stats really need to be reversed to make this armor worth while. This armor is supposed to be offensive, having so much wis and so little int is really not what an arcane caster needs.

The items would be perfect with the wis/int reversed.

Since stats cost the same amount as far as item costing goes, it should be no problem to reverse these stats.

[Nightmare]

Can I see the armor somewhere before I decide which faction I'll go for? As a Dark Elf I am KOS with all three atm.

Are you talking about the regular armor rewards or the upgraded versions?

I was curious if anyone has seen any of the upgraded version of the armor that they were talking about.

[lostforever]

I was under the impression that the so called "evil" races need lower faction for this quest chain than the so called "good" races since back in MoP the "good" races had the edge in terms of faction.

But it seem that "evil" races need more faction again here as well?

Is this true?

Thanks

As far as I can tell, everyone starts KoS to all of them, so no, nobody needs more faction than anybody else.

Ah thank you.

I read somewherein this forums that in order to offset the faction hit in MoP a lvl 50 quest chain gives faction bonous to evil races. I assumed this to be that chain.

Or anyone know a high lvl chain where the evil racess need less faction than good races?

Thanks

[PlacentaBurrito]

Are you sure the items are in and attainable? I've killed like every itchiwahteverbugman named multiple times and all I can get are their hearts... nevermind that the loot they drop is generally underleveled for the mobs. Or that after spending half an hour + with 3 people to kill that rediculous fkin 358927592759 hp 5 dot healer (is that your new thing? every boss is a healer?) bugman he dropped nothing.

Also after killing 10 treehugger bosses all I get is 10 greater flordiel symbols? But lo and behold if I kill 2 gorgalok bosses I've got my flordiel armor pieces! It's too bad their quests aren't in yet.

That offset was suppose to be for the quests in Afrit, not Gorg.

[petelta]

Ive been doing the faction and trying to do the emissary quests for the itchika(or whatever the spelling is), since they have armor that is geared toward a psi. The quest the emissary gave me is to kill FLordiel in their city and get 10 medallions or seals of flordiel..something like that...anyways, I killed around 50 3 dot guards, 2 dot guys and others throughout the "city" and got nothing to drop. Im wondering if im killing the right things or if im in the right area...or just rare drop. It says Upper flordiel and lower flordiel, so i assume Im in the right area.

Can't wait to see the upgrade to the armor btw.

[Tsudanosh]

Looking into this now, found a problem that was prohibiting the Flordiel and Ichtakhta to drop their associated armor pieces.

We're making the corrections now and should be available with the next patch.

Also corrected an issue where NPCs that were intended to be harvestable were not behaving as such.


Ichtakhta - Harvestable via Quarrying
Gorgalok - Harvestable via Skinning
Flordiel (treants only) - Harvestable via Lumberjacking


This will also be available in the next patch.

The available Mnalus will now have a chance to drop the "Undamaged Fungal Fiber", the number of available Mnalus will increase once the dungeon population is completed.

So what do those of that have -20k faction have to do now since we did this before the quests were known?

Screwed?

[Tsudanosh]

Did you equip the ring that Karoz gave you upon acceptance of the first quest?

If not, you'll need to wear the ring to get the items to drop. Those items are used as a faction bonus, so you can collect them while adventuring and then hand them in for a boost in your faction.

When i was exploring and had no idea about these quests, I went to the Gorgalok guy first and accepted his quest...soon realizing I want the Caster gear from the Ichtakhta. I received a ring from the Gorgalok to use when i kill the mantus but when i went and got the quest from the emmissary of the ichtakhta I received no ring, so no I had not been wearing a ring at all to get the drops. but i didn't receive one.

[Tsudanosh]

Hmm, it's working when I just tested it - can you provide the following information so I can try and reproduce the problem:


Race
Class
Level
Dynamic faction level toward Ichtakhta


Will see what I can do! If I can find the problem then it won't be an issue to put in a fix for it =)

I was thinking it could be since I accepting the other faction's quest first, that there could be some coding where it would not give me the ring by choosing that quest when i had the other, just a suggestion. I haven't tried dropping the quest and taking it again since i didn't know a ring was needed lol. I will go try that now.

Let me know what happens with the reacceptance! There's no data that would prohibit you otherwise.

I'm going to try and reproduce it here on my end!

[Wasabi]

The Flordiel Quests are missing.

I did all quests in the Elani Output including the emissary pre-quests.

I found the Gorgalok emissary and can get faction quests. I also found the Gorgalok armor quests NPC no problem.

I found the Ichtakhla emissary and can get faction quests. I also found the Ichtakhla armor quests NPC no problem.

I found the Flordiel emissay and can NOT get faction quests. I also can NOT find the Flordiel armor quests. I spent hours searching the area and there are no quests in the zone at all. Some thing is wrong here.

Faction makes no difference getting any quest. I was able to get the Gorgalok quests with -5000 dynamic Gorgalok faction and was able to get Ichtakhla quests with +2500 dynamic Ichtakhla faction. I have +5000 dynamic Flordiel faction and no quests to be found.

[petelta]

also what are the 3 differences in armor. I never read the quest pop up until the last one which told me the type of armor the Ichtahkta have. I went and saw their stuff which consists mostly of SDF and Int stuff which I like. But i was wondering, is gorgalok for melee, and Flordiel for something else?

[Aurage]

[Rishara]

Three of us doing the quests tonight and none of us could get the Flordiel emissary quests. We had gone and talked to the frog and mantis emissaries first. Haven't tried abandoning any yet.

[Nym_Almeara]

My group was factioning on trees in Flordiel after getting the quest from the Ichtakhta emissary (to collect Flordiel sigs, or whatever they are).

We had also taken the Gorgalok emissary quest, and that quest gave us a ring to equip so we could harvest whatever we'd need from the Ichtakhta. We're not actually doing that quest because we want ICH armor.

However, the Ichtakhta emissary did NOT give us a ring. We were in Flordiel, killing treants (as the quest says, "kill them in their city") and not one sig dropped. Is this working as intended? Are we supposed to be getting them somewhere else and the quest dialogue is just wrong?

We were getting lesser flordiel symbol drops but no quest updates.

[Moomoo]

Same here, received the Gargolag armor quests pre-patch, deleted all of them after patch, received kill quest and ring at Gorgalog, went to the Ich. npc and got the collect flordiel symbol quest with no ring obtained.

Tried discarding the gorgalog ring and all quests, reobtained the same Ich. quest but got no ring from the npc. Also tried killing "~ of the Chosen," "Savage~," Fox riders, nameds etc but had absolutely no "flordiel symbol" drop.

FYI my char is a Lv49 HighElf Cleric and has -109 faction with the Ich. due to some mass rampage at the Ich. pre patch. :p

[Nym_Almeara]

lol my group and i only JUST fixed our ich faction.. we were killing them before we realized what we were supposed to be doing :P

[Therian]

My guild has the same problem with the Ich ambassador. I accepted Ich quest first, no ring. Accepted Gorg quest and got item.

Kojani Disciple, 45 (at time of acceptance). I had practically no faction whatsoever at time of acceptance (had killed maybe 2 mobs in other zones, no Ich). Abandoning quest and taking it again made no difference.

[PaLOLdin]

I must jump in to this. While I was wearing the ring and killing the Flordiel treants I did get the lesser Symbols, but I did get regular symbols. So it is confirmed that you can get both from the trees..if I recall correctly I got the bigger symbols from the named 3 dots in Flordiel.

[booster78]

So, it's "Gorgalok" area itemized?
(Mobs dropping quest items for armor quests eg. "Satine Swamp:xxxxx" ?)
Looks like killed everything in 3 regions and dont got any Q-item for armor Q.

So far we've gotten Flordiel armor molds from the frogs, as well as frog skins and wind essences (very very infrequent drop--we've gotten one out of about 400 kills).

Edited to add: We've now gotten one residual chaos energy as well.

[Cobalty2004]

So is the armor from here going to become orange? Or stay yellow?

Is this going to work like CW?

[hawnz]

can anyone link the plate rewards? i have yet to see any posted (cured only has cloth and 2 versions of medium). i'm trying to decide on the faction route to go, but it's hard when you don't know what the end result is or if it's even worth the grind.

[Cavaras]

How is this supposed to work? My groups tank wants to go def, the dps wants to go offensive, and as a healer i think balanaced is good, are these quests soloable or is this gonna screw people up and have them get pissed they cant find a group, cuz the tank wants one type the def wants another and the healers want another? I really would like some more info on this if possiable cuz its all screwed up..

Well, seeing as how the yellow armor is pretty close to best in game as it is now (except for maybe a few heroic crafted pieces that crafters want 80g for), I'm willing to bet the upgrades will be worth it. I don't think any of the first set of quests can be completed yet, so there is no way to know what the next set will look like.

Hey Tsudanosh, you've posted 4 times in this thread since this was first brought up. I've noticed the quests were ninja-fixed in a server reset, but no mention of how to fix the people that got MAJOR NEGATIVE faction hits. You keep saying that you are trying to make a quest where major faction grinding isn't necessary, but as it stands there are people with -23k full faction with some races because of the time the quests were in and bugged. Either fix this or reset faction when the quests go fully in unbugged please.

[Aurage]

If you guys would like I can post a screenshot of the upgraded version of the gorgalok medium fighter armor. The chest, legs, and shoulders are all heroic and the rest are rare.

Got -21k faction with gorgalok when completed quest "25 icht. eye"...
Factions reset would be solution.

Can you invis to the emissary and start doing frog (or whoever) quests? They're repeatable I believe so you should be able to fix your faction relatively easy as long as you can get the quest. We were able to get quests while the quest givers were beating on us, lol.

-21K faction means 13k in the hole (needing -8k to be non kos) and gettign 25 faction per turnin that is 520 turnins (or 13k eyes) (not including faction hits from mobs which you cant estimate) to get out of the mess the bugged faction put him in. I wouldnt call this 'relatively easy'.

[budd101]

I have gotten a couple of the medium Flordiel armor and it does not list shaman as a class to wear it, does that mean this questline will be class specific and not include the shaman?

[Aurage]

Here is the upgraded Gorgalok Medium fighter set of gear. Quality isn't the greatest but you should be able to make out all the info for it.

After seeing the Gorg armor for Shamans I am left unsatisfied. The armor falls very short for one of the three shaman patrons, Hayatet. I am not a melee shaman, I nuke for dmg as my Patron was intended. There is no shaman armor with increased spell damage mods. Any chance of an option for us Hayatet or do we get the short end of the stick on offensive armor?

im thinking we would have to go balanced or the defensive set. I will goto ich and checkout the defensive stats tomorrow, and there balanced set is not in the game yet as far as I can tell.

The balanced set (florendiel) however does not show shaman as able to wear the armor peices from the drops I have seen. Don't know if that is a glitch or not since every medium class is listed except shaman.

[Moomoo]

Alright so I equipped the Gorgalog ring and tried killing the Flodiels, found that they started dropping symbols... this is so weird.

This is itch defensive armor at first stage for shaman. It is nice but I would prefer to get offensive set from Gorg.. if they had a set for Hayatet Patron anyway :/

Is it possible to look at those armor sets in game without having a non-KoS faction?
I also tried the quest with collecting 25 Itch* eyes but I only got one in about 20 kills (2dot mobs). Is the drop rate really so low?

thats good to know...i will go give that a try tonight.

[petelta]

is Ichtakhta defensive based or offensive based....same with gorgalok?

The Ichtakhta psi gear just has so much more Int then wisdom and wasn't sure if they think gorgalok is offensive with giant crit power or Ichtakhta is offensive with giant spell % damage increase.

Gorg = offensive
Itch = defensive
Flordiel = balance


Seems to be lots of unhappy casters due to their so called "offensive" set

Aren't the quests that gave you ALOT of faction repeatable? I know that Ich eye one was. We only did it once though. Does the faction rewards change after you do it once?

[petelta]

yea i was suprised to see the gorgalok as offensive until I really totalled up the stats from all the gear. The itchakta give alot of HP and more Int but not that much more than a full set of gorgalok. There is more SDF on gorgalok too, and the wis difference on GOrgalok compaired to itchakta is huge, so you wil have mega Energy and crit %. Here are the totals I added up between Caster Itchakta gear and Gorgalok:

Gorgalok first number...Itchakta 2nd number:

AC 606 606
Energy 366 498
Wis 129 59
Int 75 94
Crit 4% 2%
SDF 238 190
HP 0 495
Spell Accuracy 1% 2%

as you can see the Itchakta gives us casters a chance to get hit maybe 1 more time than usual. So that is their defensive gear. I was going with itchakta until I saw both gears...Now I will be going with Gorgalok.

We have to remember that these are just the tier 1 peices of this. Who knows what the upgrades could be.

Since the Tehat harbor/temple faction quest stuff seems to be not worth it at the moment...Ive read they are changing some things about it on test server, I will be going back to this area and grinding some faction and armor peices. Sucks too cause I grinded out 6k of faction at tehat and still have no evidence of the lucent medals.

If anyone on flamehammer wants to group with me and kill some itchakta for their eyes, let me know. My name is Azis, Psi class.

[PlacentaBurrito]

I mean is the base unupgraded set really the set of stats you should be comparing? All of these stat comparisons are worthless IMO till they fix the damned quests heh.

[Moomoo]

So basically we have to do 2 sets of 9 quests per? Still unable to figure out which mob drops what for the base version.

So far only looted gorgalog skin from random gorgalog, and assume that the plant thingy is from floriel treants, air.. maybe from the gas? And the core should be from a named golem if I am not wrong...

Hope to get more info in order to encourage static grp members who are kinda lost of interest seeing the ingredients needed for the uncommon armors.

This whole faction has me very confused. I had positive gorgolog faction. Picked up a bunch of quests from their city and completed them. Complete the eyeball quest at the same time. Turned in the eyeball quest first and now I have -6300 gorgolog faction and I am KOS, but I got positive Ichty faction (the guys I killed) and can now walk into their village and get quests. I can't turn in the 7 gorg quests because I am KOS and many see invis.

Can someone comment....is the negative faction from the eyeball quest (first time you do it) intended or a bug?

ironically I have all the gorgolog armor in my carfting assembly tab.

Aren't the quests that gave you ALOT of faction repeatable? I know that Ich eye one was. We only did it once though. Does the faction rewards change after you do it once?

The ALOT of faction you speak of was a bug. It has since been fixed. The Itch eyes now gives 25 faction. 25 Faction is very small when you are negative 20K +

They fixed the faction reward bug, but did not fix the factions of those who did it before that. Get it now?

I am looking foward to the faction fix, thnx Tsudanosh

[PaLOLdin]

Offensive stats are definitely not worth it, whether you are main tank or not. Crit chance is nice, but in the end more armor class will benefit you more.

[hawnz]

thanks much. hopefully the upgraded versions are MUCH better, cuz as is most of those pieces aren't really much better than MOP pieces.

Omg 25? I spent there a whole evening (solo) and made like 150 faction. I was hoping that the quest will boost my faction more. Also how much faction do u need to obtain the armor quests? Is it enough to be non-KoS or do I need to make more?

Wrong. I handed in the Itch eyes today to the Gorgalok and I got slammed with a -20k gorg faction. Its not fixed.

[bandon]

Interesting point was brought up... finding groups all looking for one type of armour will be a trick...

[Tsudanosh]

Put in a fix for the faction issues as well as allowing players to change their allegiances.


Gorgalog Swamp - Karoz of the Ichtakhta, Esurin, and Emissary Geisel will now offer an atonement quest for players wishing to be forgiven for their transgressions against their respective nations. Temporary functionality will assist in the quest completion until the dungeon of Gorgaluk has been completed. There is a known issue with your faction standing toward a rivaling nation upon completion of this quest falling out of sync with the others and is being looked into.


Will be needing some minor code support to resolve the issue, so please don't be alarmed if you notice a rivaling nation's faction-standing to drop if you seek atonement for your transgressions.

[Xxooo]

Is there a questline for Flordiel? Been all around that city, and no quest givers other than the emissary, which gave nothing other than exp for turning in the emissary quest.

I have been anticipating something good from these trees, and so far, nothing.

No need to be so condescending. I asked a simple question and was only trying to be helpful. We hadn't gone back since the early stealth fix (which apparently wasn't really fixed anyway...

[Moomoo]

I was hit by the same bug and is now 6K to Flordiel and 3.5K to the Ichtakhta. Noticed that the Ichtakhta guard offering 2 more quests so I picked em up and obtained an Ichtakhta Ring, AND one of the quests is rewarding the same ring as completion reward. (lol)

http://www.silkyvenom.com/forums/gallery/files/1/2/6/2/9/ScreenShot_00102_original.jpg

Btw where do you start the Ichtakhta armor quests? The trader at the entrance would not give me any quest. Are they even in the live servers yet? :o


>>Devs
Is it safe for us to continue grinding faction atm? Or do you prefer not to touch the contents atm?

[Caniss]

Once non kos you can venture up into their city and there is an NPC there with quest icon. He has the armor

[Moomoo]

Thx! Found him!

Any idea where to get the winds required? Been killing the gas for a while with no luck. And the armor piece never dropped... :o

[norast]

the icatachawatever's quest description is decently detailed in telling you what to grind to get a drop. I found mostly it is random mobs of the opposite factions, kinda like wardship works.

Read the test server patchnotes from the 16th, they are just adding in more armor quest related drops that have been left out, so at this point I do not think it is possible to collect all the components needed to actually get any of the armor.

[Moomoo]

Oops! Just noticed that I have to kill the petrollers and scouts from the details. Thx for pointing that out!

Guess I should hold the armor quest then.

[Bulldog]

Not sure if this has been stated since I haven't followed the forums closely this week, but the Gorgolak armor for shaman is all melee stats.

Hayetet shaman especially, but the rest of the shaman that have learned melee damage for shaman sucks, will want some offensive caster style stats. Have to remember shaman have 2 Nukes, 3 DoTs, and 1 Nuke and 1 DoT finisher, large resist debuff. We are a casting class too.

This wouldn't actually be a problem for me, but I was one of the people that hunted the insects dudes for exp before the quests were announced(and they were giving -1000 faction hits), and im at -21,000 faction with them and they seem to be the Healing orientated armor.

Could we have a faction reset? Or an option to do it.

[Caniss]

I think what he was trying to say was

The offensive armor of Gorg is for Bear and Wolf Patrons but Hayatet gets left out.

Yes this was stated previously

[Bulldog]

No, Im saying all 3 patrons get left out(I said the shaman who learned melee damage=crap) :D

No vitality on it also. Pretty craptacular for any shaman.

Really I can get over that, but not that im at -21k Faction with the only armor that is good for me.

[Moomoo]

Alright seems that all the faction quests are a huge mess up!!

Finished a quest offered by the ich and turned out to be this result:

http://www.silkyvenom.com/forums/gallery/files/1/2/6/2/9/huh.jpg

I am now +5K FULL to the Flordiels and +500 FULL to the Gorgaloks (lol)

Gonna stop doing these quests until they fix it! meanwhile, since I was originally going for the offensive armor, hope the devs not gonna reset my faction. :P


P.S Ya really have to fix this ASAP before the faction system for the quest series turn really bad.

[Bulldog]

Nevermind LOL

[Calmethar]

Totaly agree with you here Bulldog.

Since day one they have slacked hugely with gear stats and choises. Clerics have been forced to chose tank gear from most quests except the few class specific ones, same goes for Bloodmages who've had to settle for offensive int caster gear. But this hasn't been too tough as there's always been the class specific quests which most people do anyway.

You should think shamans has had it good, as almost every single quest has two choises for medium wearers, offensive melee or defensive healer.

But if this is what they call offensive shaman specific gear there's something they've hugely mistaken...

Imo there should even be three different class specific sets of armor for every class specific quest in the game. Or two at least as Hayatet is the one that stands out the most. But as it is atm shamans as spellcasters are totaly overlooked. I don't think many clerics are nuking either in this game but that's another matter.

I haven't chosen shaman to try to be a dps class so i'm going for the defensive armor for sure in almost every case. But i do know Hayatet shamans using light gear mostly and i do use focus items in both hands myself most of the time (yet another thing that makes almost every single weapon quest in the game useless to Hayatet shamans, ack...). But none the less even though i'll be using defensive gear anyway this is seriously something that needs to be changed.

My bad for this post though, reading Bulldogs post just knocked it out of me finaly ;) - and anyway, good to see these quests finaly hitting the live servers and being attuned to work 100%, thumbs up.

[petelta]

Whats the ETA on having all the armor peices, faction issues, and full line up of quest line in these areas. I really have wanted to go and grind away some armor but since there has been so many problems I figured I would wait it out.

[Racket]

How is this supposed to work? My groups tank wants to go def, the dps wants to go offensive, and as a healer i think balanaced is good, are these quests soloable or is this gonna screw people up and have them get pissed they cant find a group, cuz the tank wants one type the def wants another and the healers want another? I really would like some more info on this if possiable cuz its all screwed up..

I'd like to see a reponse to this. My static group hasn't started thes yet, but will within a week. How do you combat the interests/armor needs of the various classes in a group?

[Bulldog]

Find different people, or convince them to do the same gear. I like it, adds some flavor.

Well assuming they arent screwed over like shaman :D

Similar to EQ1 velious. Find people working same faction.

Also Killing Gorgs for example, gives Bug+Elf faction. Killing one gives faction for 2.

The only problem I can see is where quest pieces drop for the armor. Like, killing Gorgs gives 2 INsect and 1 Elf faction. But the elf armor drops from gorgs, confusing.

[garath]

If they are adding a way to reset factions then its easy. Do the quests for one group of people, then reset faction and do another set. So on.

[Cavaras]

As i am sure most of us agree, we appreciate the attempt on these quests, but the little information we obtain on these quests suck! The creativitiy behind this quest lacks flavor, there is none. You do some quests then told talk to am emmisary, ok so you talk to one and they tell you to do whatever, minus the fact that atm the flordiel npc is bugged. Picking between 2 sets would have been nice with the 3 upgradeing whatever you picked between the 2, but have 3 sets of factions with the amount of people who actually play on the servers = pissed off people not being able to do the quest becuase they cant find people to do it. What DPS wants DEF armor? What Tank wants OFF armor? Where do healers fit in? Balanced... Are the quests soloable, even longer versions of the quest would be nice that could be soloed with the way things are setup, i rather bitch about the quest taking to long cuz soloing is long for healer, then bitching that i cant complete it unless i pick one of the races i rather not just to get a group. Splits up people to much, find another way..

The fact that it will be difficult finding a group that all wants the same armor doesn't bother me, I will find ways through that. What bothers me is that we are discussing these quests as though they actually work. Half the stuff does not drop, Devs say that the quests and areas will be revamped in the next patch, that was TWO patches ago and the area is still borked.

Faction is messed up behind belief, quests do not work, items do not drop, balanced armor can't even be seen so a healer not sure if they should go defensive or not... Dungeons in these zones are not populated and everything in this thread is just "ideas and assumptions" about a questline that is obviously broken and was ninja'd into the game with no real thought.

Please you admitted that these quests were accidently pushed to live, for gods sake take them out completely until you finish/fix them so people stop wasting their lives on this crap

You could see the final gorgolok armor in the assembly tab of the crafting window. Hopefully the servers are coming down to fix the currently broken assembly tab and we will be able to see the rest of the final armor pieces (bugs at least were mentioned in the patch).

Redoing a bug quest this morning still awarded 3000 faction, so I still don't see it being that difficult to fix your faction even if you couldn't reset it.

Have yet to see any of the medium healer armor drops off the trees for the bug armor. Gotten many medium armor drops (splintered bark). I hope it's not bugged...

Seems like you can get the armor drops from any of the tree mobs in the flordiel area. They are marked as being for the Ich armor. However, we have yet to see the healer or tank drops yet. Only light and a medium set that does not match what we need for the quest. :( Fearing the quest is either broken or the drops are. (I refuse to believe that in an entire day we were too unlucky to get one drop when everyone else was getting theirs)

[Gremmy]

Got the Emissary quest from Elani (Ruin Falls), handed in the quest at the Gorgolok Emissary (Vsurug Moor) but received no ring?

Is this correct/incorrect? Should I have received a ring?

The quests from Elani are just to show you where the emissaries are, this does not result in anything.

You get the ring by accepting the quest that Gorgalok Emissary offers you.

Well, the medium that dropped had the shaman tag on them but they were clearly not what the quest called for. Quest calls for treated sap and these were something else (too early to remember what now!).

So I read that you only need to be NOT kos to the factions in order to grab the armor quests...question is, how come I can't seem to find or get the Flordiel armor quests? Many have said they are there on NPCs but I have yet to get the quests or see the NPC. I am not KOS with Flordiel.

What armor parts have you found? My issue is that grinding there for 3 days nobody in our guild has yet to find any medium healer armor pattern drop from the trees (for the Ichtakta armor). The medium pattern that drops does not match what the quest asks for. I really really want to know if this is broken or what.

I am lucky enough to get the Glove which is tagged NO-TRADE from the elf. They are like 1 drop per hour so you need luck. Wind essence is killing me tho... 3 hours and not a drop at all.

[arkand]

From what I can tell all the pieces are not in and wont be in til the dungeon goes live. The chest pieces are not live, the storm particles arent live, the spore beast membrane not in, also Im pretty sure that the upgrade drops are not going to be in til the dungeon is also, I can't remember where i read it but I believe a dev stated that somewhere. I have finished pretty much everything I can in the area ie belt, gloves,bracer, boot, underlay. The legs, caps, shoulders, chest are not live or unfinishable so far.

Furthermore, the upgrade combines for our tank, a paladin are incorrect for the combines. They get the option for two sets healing and tank. However, the plate tank does not ask for the right base pieces. Hopefully when the upgrade pieces go live the base pieces needed for combine are corrected.

Yes, I've seen plenty of MEDIUM drop, but it is NOT what I need for the quest. That's what I'm trying to verify. Have people found the Treated Sap medium off the trees?

Someone says 1 per hour. Um no, we just said we've been there for 3 days and nothing...

Some people are able to complete their armor (our bloodmages have finished several pieces of the balanced gear), so yes some of the finishing stuff is in.

[Wasabi]

I wonder if the developer is reading this thread anymore. If so I would like to report a bug with the Flordiel Armor Upgrade.

I am a 50 Paladin and I have completed several of the Flordiel base armor peices (Forest Enchanted I believe is the name). I completed one each of the faction quests from the Flordiel emissary and when I go to the Assembly table to see what I need for the upgrade, I see Flordiel CLERIC Armor (Fae Blessed I believe is the name).

The Tank Plate Flordiel Upgrade Armor does not show up.

Also for some reason I could see the Gorgolok Tank Armor as well, although I havent done any Gorgolok emissary quests. I only have the Flordiel Ring.

Eh? I've been getting the Itch armor pieces for the quests from Flordiel....are you sure you have this correct?

It should be you get the components like the essences from one of the opposing factions, then the armor molds from the other. I think you may this fact wrong

he isnt wrong unfortunetly

Ichtakhta are dropping the wrong armor.

[Nym_Almeara]

spent 1 1/2 hours yesterday in Flordiel

got two of them made (hands, legs).
not so bad.

we killed nameds at outposts.

Where do you come about Nihilistic Storm Particles? And Fungal Arcane Bulbs? Community would be grateful I am sure

[Tomatochips]

Anyway to get back the Ichtakhta Ring if I lost one? I forget when I deleted it or not,but without it I can`t go to defen armor now :(

[Vansar]

did anyone see a armor set for cleric so far ? just don t want to grind again for nothing :confused:

[Moomoo]

Okay confirmed that the Treated Sap shouder drops off the Ancient barks.

Now where can I find the Wrist and Belts... :P

[Tenison]

Come on now, would any care to be a model and post a pic of them in their armor. To me the style of the armor may hold more weight then the stats themselves.

Remember this is VG, dont expect it to look any different then the armor you have been wearing since level 12.

[Rishara]

I got treated sap shoulders off that unicorn. The warrior legs dropped off one of the humanoid named that wanders the area with the unicorn (sorry can't remember the name, started with an A)

[bandon]

This chestguard takes 2 lvl 45's about 2 minutes 37 seconds to get...

No, you're just looking at the BASE piece. It gets upgraded to a heroic chest piece with much better stats.

That was a mistake, she got boots and gloves made so far. :)

All armor drops are random drops from every mob of the type. For instance, you can kill the 2-3 dots in Flordiel and all of them have the CHANCE of dropping armor pieces for Itch quests. 4-6 dot named do not drop certain pieces nor do they have better chances of dropping. Think of this like Wardship.

Btw I got 2 cloth shoulders and 1 medium in 30 min of soloing 2-3 dots in Flordiel. Then I went for about 2 days without another drop :eek:

Just for some confirmation

Has anyone got Legs to drop off anything beside 4dot and higher named?

Also Chest ?

I think legs might only be coming off 4dot named and Chest mgiht only be off the 6dot from each faction.

Just a theory but all the evidence I have seen so far leads me to believe its true

I wouldn't doubt this is true, but a sham friend got the plate legs from soloing. He's only 48 and he can't solo the named...so it must've been 2-3 dots that dropped it.

I think the chestpieces aren't even in the game yet, someone prove us wrong? I have yet to see any of them drop from any faction.

Okay good to know, only legs we seen came off 4dot named. Thnx for proving otherwise.

Yea maybe BP just isnt in yet. Like the Storm Particles and other bits

[Wroth]

Ive been killing the named Ich mobs, but it seems all the shoulder drops I get off of them are for the ich quest??? Shouldnt they be droping the items for the Gor quests, as everything else they have droped is for the gorg quest.

It is confirmed that the Itch can drop pieces for their own armor quests. We had a guy on our server get several medium drops for the Itch armor. This is probably going to be fixed soon, if you see this happen please /bug it.

[Aixem]

Hi,

im new to this forum but want to share some information.

We started the Gorgalok 4 days ago, we did all the little pre-quests in the Village and the follow ups....

All quests worked perfect, exept for the "Mutated Stinger" follow we should get a glowing stone to show someone but were not able to loot the stone near the Emissary = Dead End.

With 45 the Emissary gives u the possibility to grind more faction with

1 Heart (500 Faction+) - Named Drop from Ichitaka
10 Atenna (100 Faction+) - Ichitaka 4dot drops
25 Eyes (First time 25 next time 100 Faction+) - All Ichitaka

Right now i have 9000 Ichitaka faction ..... read the Silkyvenomthread and realised u dont need it :( ... i got all the needed ressources for the "standard" blue Armor Items but not the locked Armor parts for my class.

Instead i have now 2 Heavy and 3 Medium Parts as a Bloodmage....
Some armor parts are tradable like the belt and others not like gloves or the helm.....please fix this and make it tradeable for all items.

Just yesterday we got the mage swamp satin belt but with some mages in the group almost impossible to get ur needed parts :(

Please recheck the item drop for the needed armor parts or make it possible to get more than one item loot if more ppl of the same class are in the group. A good solution would be also to make all the armor parts tradeable not just the belt :-)

A good solution would also to trade for example 25 Ichitaka eyes for the small armor parts like belts and gloves or make it a 100% named drop.

One quest is tagged as a (raid) quest ... we moved to the Ezigoth Scar camped and killed there for some time but no Ezigoth and no core.

Also a big problem is the hugh amount of quest items u have to carry after 4 days 1 x 20 Bag is full with Quest Stuff just for the Gorgalok Quests, maybe u can place a little storage Box near the Quartermaster to store those materials.

[budd101]

Has anyone seen the Ich healer set drop off of any specific mobs more then others? I have been grinding for days and have not gotten 1 peice. I have plenty of everyone elses gear but none for myself.

I am now reading that the mantis are dropping mediums, so should i start killing my own faction?!

Hi! Im doing the gorgalok armor set i have a problem!

I have collected all the parts for the Swamp Armor: Gloves quest but it wont let me turn it in! When i go to turn it in, it wont let me highlight the gloves on the quest complete dialog and all the requirements are green! Is there a faction requirement to turn in the quest?

I sure hope faction is required, otherwise it would be lame. People could just go around and turn in whatever armor they feel like.

For some reason you do not turn in gorg armor to the same person you picked it up from. There is an Elder you must hand it into at one of the buildings inside gorg city

While I feel your pain in the grind for the pieces, making the armor tradable will be a HUGE mistake. Whats the point of even doing these quests if I can just wait a week for the market to get flooded with the pieces I want? This is JUST as ridiculous as Wardship and I'm happy. This kicks out the people who don't want to farm this armor all day, thats fine, go get crafted. But for those of us that want to spend all this time to get something unique and thus making the armor worth something, lets keep it this way. I do agree that they should change the tags on some of the pieces, make them all no trade :D

Making anything guaranteed will just make the game lose its value. Hell even the named in Thel and Vol Tuniel aren't guaranteed an armor drop. It should stay all random and rare to get.

I'll check it out when I get to the office this morning. Same for the Ichtakhta dropping pieces for the Ichtakhta armor. If that's actually happening it's obviously a bug.

[PaLOLdin]

Another bug for the armor.....

If you press P and go to your crafting tab, for Heavy Plate I can only see the upgraded armor for Itch and Gorg, plate melee and healer. I am aligned with Itch and Flord and I can't see the Flordiel pieces upgraded! This sucks cause it doesnt allow me to see what the stats are of the upgraded armor, which should help me decide which questline I want to develop in.

[herbgiver]

Another bug-both the upgraded warrior, Gorg armor, and the upgraded Flordiel armor--both are asking for the same type of armor.

Have you done the first ambassador quest with the Flordiel(collect 25 frog necklaces)? I couldnt see thier upgraded armor until i completed it.

[Scarcius]

There some trick to getting the Wind Essences ? I've been killing junk for about two days now and not got a single one. I've got multiple armor pieces and such but, never seen a wind anything.

[Treewolf]

Elidroth its true that the Ichtakhta are dropping their own armor. I killed prob 20 named and only got Ich armor. Sucks when you want to get your Gorg armor components

Similar issue here. Ally with Ichitahkta, done all faction qusts for more than 10 times, yet the Ichitakhta armor upgrade is not in the assembly window. :(

[Elidroth_SGO]

I'm going to change this today. You will take the quest items back to the Quartermaster to turn in for your armor.

This won't hit live servers for a patch or two though. You can still turn in the armor to the Elders until this change goes live.

[Elidroth_SGO]

Elidroth its true that the Ichtakhta are dropping their own armor. I killed prob 20 named and only got Ich armor. Sucks when you want to get your Gorg armor components

The only pieces that are race specific is the actual armor template piece. Many of the sub-components are shared amongst many npc's.

I'm going through the loot tables right now and I'm not finding anything wrong. If you can give me a specific example to track down it'll help, and it's entirely possible it was fixed already and you just don't have the patch yet.

Still looking...

[Rishara]

Just to post an opinion on this type of quest (you can agree or disagree just my opinion).

I greatly dislike quests that have you at the mercy of a crappy random number generator. Things that have an ultra rare chance to drop which means some people will get it on the first kill and others can kill 1000 mobs and not get a drop really irk me.

If you want me to kill 1000 mobs tell me to kill 1000 mobs... This is why I really liked Graystone. At least there you knew that if you just kept killing you'd get the insignias because you knew they'd drop off the named. Sure it took a long time, and sure maybe I killed 1000s of mobs but it didn't feel as futile as this type of thing.

I guess it's just a perception thing, but it gets very frustrating killing for days and days and not see any of your drops yet hear of others just running and killing a random 2-dot and getting theirs.

As of yesterday (4/22/07), various Ichtakhta boss / named monsters were indeed dropping Ichtakhta armor pieces, not pieces for the other factions. However, non named Ichtakhta monsters did drop a few Gorgalok / Flordiel armor pieces.

Please take a look specifically at the boss / named monsters located in the Ichtakhta camp.

Oh, and if the loot tables have indeed been fixed, is there an ETA on when the playerbase will see a live patch remedying this situation?

Yes ALL named npcs in Ichtakhta are dropping thier own shoulder armor pieces. I have a entire bag full of these pieces. Floridiel named are also dropping the same shoulder pieces.

[PaLOLdin]

Have you done the first ambassador quest with the Flordiel(collect 25 frog necklaces)? I couldnt see thier upgraded armor until i completed it.

I've done every quest for every faction. I just think its not added into game yet.

Oh and if you look the heavy plate shimmering silverbark requires the Gorg pieces? This is wrong, Silverbark is for Flordiel. So I guess its not that I am missing the upgraded Flordiel, its that the components are messed up and it says I need Gorg armor to be upgraded so I get heroic Flord armor :confused:

[PaLOLdin]

Another thing to take a look at...

I've been farming Flordiel for 5 days now. I've gotten about 20-25 drops of armor. I've gotten 5 splintered bark caps, 2 light shoulders, 3 treated sap caps, 3 treated AND splintered bark boots, 2 medium shoulders...and a bunch of medium gloves. In all this I get 1 heavy plate boots. Thats it.

Is the drop rate for heavy borked? Does it need to be up'd or checked at? I've heard from many other people on my server that all they get is medium, not even light! Can we get a check on this?

[Tsudanosh]

Sigh, that was my fault - error in the data set. I checked the other Ichtakhta loot tables and only found that the error was present in the shoulder pieces.

Sorry for the mishap guys! The GMs have a listing of straight-across trades for the corresponding, correct item that should have dropped.

The issue will be fixed in the next patch =)

Yes ALL named npcs in Ichtakhta are dropping thier own shoulder armor pieces. I have a entire bag full of these pieces. Floridiel named are also dropping the same shoulder pieces.

[Tsudanosh]

Fixed this as well - it will be in the next patch. Now requires the Flordiel "Forest Enchanted" platemail armor!

[bandon]

so im confused and we are trying to decide which to do and hate to say it, its pretty much coming down to what the stuff looks like... anyone got any visible pieces made yet?

[Moomoo]

Okay since the thread has become kinda long I have tried to summarise/compile the information into 1. Please keep in mind that some of the information may be wrong.

---------------------------------------------

Lv50 Armor quest information:

Level Requirement: min level 45
Quests : Lv50 armor quests
Location: Southwest Thestra, deep swamp areas.
Chunks (from east to west): Flordiel, Vsurog Moor, Ichitakhta

Outline:
There are 3 main races/factions in the areas, Flordiel, Gorgalok and Ichitakhta. Each are enemies to another. Each faction has a full set of (9 parts of) armor quests for each class.

Flordiel - Balanced
Gorgalok - Offensive
Ichitakhta - Defensive

Completing the quests give you uncommon~rare armor pieces which many call them "base (armor)". They can then be further upgraded to higher quality (e.g. uncommon to rare, rare to heroeic) armor parts in the next patch which may drop the required upgrade components. You can check the stats for upgraded armor parts via your assembly window => unique, once you have completed a faction raise quest.
* at 4/24/2007, some players may not be able to view them. This is a known bug and will be fixed soon.

Note: There are no heavy base armor for clerics. However you will be able to upgrade the medium armor to plate when the components are available.

The quest series is still officially incomplete and will be further polished in the coming patches.
Currently completable armor parts: Glove, Underlay, Belt, Wristguard, Boots
Unable to complete due to some components not in game yet: Legging, Chest, Cap, Shoulder

----------
[Requirement to get quest offer]

You may be able to get all the quests regardless if the NPC is KoS to you. However, you will need to be non-KoS in order to be able to complete the quest (NPC wll not talk if you are KoS when reporting).

You will need less than -7999 dynamic faction to become non-KoS.

----------
[Raising Faction]

1) Killing the opposing enemies raises 2 faction of your choice, 1 faction of a less opposing fdaction, and minus 2 faction of the greatest enemy.

Kills:
Ichitakhta: +2 Gorgalok, +1 Flordiel, -2 Ichitakhta
Flordiel: +2 Ichitakhta, +1 Gorgalok, -2 Flordiel
Gorgalok: +2 Flordiel, +1 Ichitakhta, -2 Gorgalok

2) Faction quest are available from the representative standing outside of the city near entrance. The have a quest offer icon on top of them so shoul be easy to spot:

Ichitakhta: Ichitakhta, Karoz of the Ichtakhta http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/database/entities/details/22722/karoz-of-the-ichtakhta/
Flordiel: Flordiel, Esurin http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/database/quests/details/6659/atonement/
Gorgalok: Vsurog Moor, Emissary Geisel http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/database/entities/details/21728/emissary-geisel/

By receiving their quest, you will be given a ring. Equip them in order to collect the drop. Armor parts are said to also need the rings equipped, but there has been reports that the components could still be obtained without it on.

* Since there was a bug which messed up many players' faction previously, the dev has applied a temporary quest "Attonement" to enable you to instantly become non-KoS with a faction. However, the quest will only stay for a period of time so if you are lazy to grind faction, do it ASAP by accepting the quest and report back to the NPC.
* Also have report that you have to finish the attonement quest to get the ring for the faction of your choice.

-------------
[Armor quests]

You may get the armor quests from the NPC inside the cities:

Flordiel: Telnia http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/database/entities/details/23012/telnia/
Ichitakhta: Stockpiler Gelmitz http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/database/entities/details/22930/stockpiler-gelmitz/
Gorgalok: Veregeth http://vg-en.curse-gaming.com/database/entities/details/21617/veregeth/

Each armor parts require you to collect armor ptterns and some other components. These components are tradable, but some of the petterns are no-trade tagged.

Ichtakhta Chitin Fragment - Any Ichtakhta
Flordiel Tree Pulp - Any Flordiel

--------------------
[Upgrading armor parts]
At this point I have no idea how as its not available. However since you can harvest the corpse of the mobs, I assume that you may need these items, head to a work bench and assemble them (just select part and click "ok" to finish).

Harvest type:
Gorgalok: Skinning
Ichitakhta: Quarrying
Flordiel: Lumberjacking

Hope this helps peeps who are new to this. I have also personally, built a house at Flowing Sea (chunk next to Ichitakhta) just to make it convenient coz its gonna be a long camp :p

The components such as Residual chaos energy are random off any 2-6 dot in the areas. I have about 25 of them from farming 2 dots all day.

Oh and the armor drops are random too. I got my plate shoulders today from a 2 dot in Flordiel, for the Itch armor. People just round up your buddies and clear everything, it seems as if all the armor drops are just random.

[Arglaar]

I understand, from speaking with friends, that once you start earning pieces from one of the 3 factions, you are locked out of the other 2 factions.
i.e. When you turn in the quest for and get your Flordiel Belt, for example, you are unable to get any of the Gorg or Ich pieces.

Can anyone, hopefully a Dev, confirm that once you complete all nine pieces of one of the armor lines, you are able to go back and do one of the other ones?

This will severely limit my armor choices if not, as I am a Hayayet Shammy, and the only set that's even remotely decent for the "Caster Shaman" is the Flordiel, since it's the only medium set with Spell Damage Focus on it.

[Vansar]

Note: There are no heavy base armor for clerics. However you will be able to upgrade the medium armor to plate when the components are available.

why didn t i wonder :cry: i think i give up and do what the game wants for my cleric: equip tankgear with low mana, vit and healfocus or go medium armor :confused:

hope the components are ing game soon :mad:

You can already mix and match armor pieces, confirmed it today

Another thing to take a look at...

I've been farming Flordiel for 5 days now. I've gotten about 20-25 drops of armor. I've gotten 5 splintered bark caps, 2 light shoulders, 3 treated sap caps, 3 treated AND splintered bark boots, 2 medium shoulders...and a bunch of medium gloves. In all this I get 1 heavy plate boots. Thats it.

It all comes down to an extremely crappy random number generator again. We are having the exact opposite problem. We are getting everything BUT medium healer drops. Out there for another 8ish hours yesterday with no medium healer drop in sight, yet we have plenty of the medium scout and light (got a couple heavy as well).

I swear there is code to look at your group composition and give you everything but what you need, heh heh.

[Aixem]

Maybe u just have some bad luck like me ;)

Someone told me for wardship its between 3-4 weeks until u get everything u want / need, maybe they want us to take the same time in the swamps.

Yesterday we found the Heavy Shoulder Ichitaka Armor was tagged as a rare item from a Ichititaka Named ...... so nothing new ;)

Currently im on 10k faction and still no drop for my class but just 5-6days of grinding.... lets kill some more Ichitaka :-)

Also Eldroth be aware that the Ichtakhta are "ONLY" dropping their own shoulders, nothing else, no other armor pieces what so ever. Seems like it is stuck on shoulder only drops. I killed over 50 named in the Ichtakhta village and the only thing that drops is their own shoulders. And thanks for allowing GMs to change them out. I got mine changed out last night :)

You can already mix and match armor pieces, confirmed it today

Hmm.. that's odd. Friend of mine turned in the quest to get his Ich gloves, and as soon as he did, he was locked out of getting the Gorg and Flor pieces.

Looks like we need more info on how it's supposed to work...
