A Night at the Academy

[RSR]

There is very specific messaging who the creatures are spawning for each and every time they spawn. It is not like warcamps at all in that regard.

Hmm, Looks like the lowered the price a few bucks to draw more interest. Biggest thing they need though for public signups is the ability to set the group to a level block.

This! I was lucky I was able to find a group for 20-somethings and our run is Sat, if it wasn't for someone setting up a custom run I'd be SOL.

BTW Any level 20-25 healers up for the Saturday run? Got 6 so far in the group, but not a single empath yet.

[Wrathbringer]

Anyone know how long and strong the Exp Orb prize from this is?

[Vrairdrick]

Got one, but haven't used it yet. I not sure how many others have been selected. I know of one other...

I was reviewing my log from my first run when I saw this: I don't see anything that cast, so thought this might be a random affect from the academy perhaps. What spell is this (implosion of some sort?)

I know that Lenobia and Nitouryu just had spell 102 (spirit barrier cast upon then); Whisker being a cleric may have had that spell up as well.

[Nattor]

It is an open implosion. Probably in an adjacent room.

The purple orbs from the beta were 4x RPA's, a GM stated that the blue orbs available now are less than that, but did not quantify them.

[sprklstr]

The acuity staff on the prize table is 4x/2x and morphs between "a rune-carved black ironwood staff crowned with a skeletal ivory hand" and "a rune-carved black ironwood staff capped with a bleached ivory skull". No other scripts noted.

This is pretty much the same stuff they've been doing in DR, and I knew eventually it would come to GS since it was successful over there.

Think of these as micro-transaction quests, which aren't hard at all. Usually on the DR Wiki, people list the prizes and stats of all prizes on the tables etc once known too since typically they kind of get recycled thru out various other quests just with different descriptions.

But yeah, the quests are pretty easy to complete once you know the minor puzzles, and like others mentioned creatures spawn according to specific people and they give off messaging as to who they belong to. When they do, they are level specific to that person as well.

Same with the quest bosses, it scaled to you whenever it turned to attack you or you attacked it...So it never always had some defense you couldn't penetrate.
