Okay I just want to make this clear for myself.
1. The level 46 quests to kill 100 mobs in each temple is NOT related to medals, correct?

Correct.

2. Once your faction is high enough, you will get more quests for the large pyramids. Will these give medals as rewards or allow medals to drop in the pyramid?

In truth, they are more like events that reward you with medals. The quests serve only to reliably award the medals for successful completion of the events. So, relatively short (I'm not sure exactly, but if pressed I'd guess around 20-30 minutes to complete), relatively difficult (it's all base 6 dots atm but we'll tweak as necessary when people start trying them) repeatable events that grant X Lucent Medals where X is a variable determined by how well you complete the event itself.
TBD is the number of medals required to purchase items from the final outfitter.

Now by outfitters do you mean the lucent medal outfitter guys? thats it them and the neck?... I'll still finish out my rep as I've got the highest on my server but come on... Please tell me there is more to it.
Now by impossible do you mean that they hit way too hard in tightly packed corners and then run away and regen at an absurd rate? Or literally impossible as in the "boss" type mobs aoe for a shit ton in packed corridors, and then regen at an equally absurd rate. Where me and a bloodmage and a warrior couldnt dps it down once it started running because it was regenning too fast? Or regenning just slow enough for me to watch one blatant fking maggot bard ( I am one too this should be impossible ) and a bloodmage to kill it from half life to dead in 30 seconds using only a dot song and bloodmage dps.

The rare/heroic/expendables will be available at any faction. This is done so you don't need a full group of people with max faction to do the events to get Medals. The events themselves do require at least one person to have high faction and we'll be bringing more items live to reward those who have completed the faction grind (i.e. they will require max faction), but they still need tuning before they go in. Specifically, we have no idea how quickly Lucent Medals will enter the world yet (personally I think they'll be coming in really quickly once the events are figured out) and don't want to give out items of that caliber too easily and/or quickly. Sorry, know it sucks a bit... at least you got a straight answer though.

Think you misunderstood what I said. I said that they are the quest rewards for the large pyramids which were more or less impossible due to having NPCs that were roughly equivalent to 8 dots. I am pretty sure the difficulty tweaks went live with yesterday's patch so you should be able to get Lucent Medals as soon as you or one of your group mates meets the faction requirement.

So tell me... where is the mace or hammer? Are these truly Primary Hand only? If so, I have absolutely no reason nor desire to do it. As a cleric, I would seriously gimp my group and myself by sacrificing a real weapon for a focus item no matter how "cool" it is. Of the items linked above, not one single one of them is even worthwhile to me. I wonder how many other healers agree with me....
|
Well, if you must have a 2HB you probably want to skip this quest. If you're okay with a 1HB and a legendary shield stat assigned for healers you'll probably find the quests worthwhile.
I made some changes to the quest line so you can see the final item rewards when you accept the shrine quests to allow you to evaluate them and decide if they are worth it.

does anyone know if the zombies were fixed on the wep quest and if the pristine stone's were fixed on the boot quest? the update doesnt say.

From the update notes:
- Shoreline Ruins - Stormwynd Zombies will now drop intact essences.
- Shoreline Ruins - The inhabitants of Stormwynd Keep and Stormwynd Beacon now respawn more quickly.
Pristine Stones are fixed too. Lack of notes is an accidental ommission.

Ahh, ok then, thanks very much for the response. I know many had been scratching thier heads on this one.
That being said, the faction grind most of us are going through will be in some way required for these quests correct? As to say that we are all under the impression that we are grinding to eventualy obtain the heroic items off the outfitters and if they are simply part of another questline that doesn't even involve the faction grind we are now doing.
Clarifcaion on this would be much appreciated. As I'm sure those of us grinding away at this faction would like to think it is going to pay off via access to these heroic trinket rewadrs.
|
Yes, the faction grind grants access, in part, to the outfitters and, in whole, to the legendary neck item.

Have to agree with that. Being at 5500 faction already and having no sign of a medal as of yet is a bit troubling.
Any response indicating that we are not missing anything and that if we follow the progression we will find the medals would be appreciated.
Don't have to give exact details but knowing that they are not simply a missing part of the rewards we arleady gotten due to a error in itemization of the quests would be comforting  |
You're not missing them. They are gained via quests that are probably impossible until the tuning for the large pyramids goes live.

sigils answer on how to slow the # of items of these that enter the world, its pretty powerful, and i guess once everyone figured out how to get it, started farming it, they probably figured they'd nerf faction grinding instead of nerfing the item.

No, the drop in faction per kill was not intended. In fact, it is being raised. They were changed to prevent people from becoming friendly to both, but the amount per kill was unintentionally lowered. :/ It will be fixed soon.
