I know no one really cares about the 200 content any more, but I figured this was the place to post this.

I just forged up the new Takashi set. By far the best out of the new 200 elite sets, a wonderful attack alternative if you cannot afford Averils or dont want to wait for Fozdons. I love it, even though it lacks PS considering its low damage, thats fine, easy enough to get elsewhere. This set gets an A from me simply because its only an elite set yet so strong.

Why did it not get the A+? One small complaint-

For those of us without the fury shrine, getting maxed Fury caster in the least amount of BPS taken up possible is normally important. When F/F each part of this set gives 30% FC, with no FC in the set bonus, leaving it at 90% :( It would be wonderful if the cows could tweak the full set to give it 10% in the full set bonus, and I believe you will see a gold sink by more people forging this set up for the FC in three pieces, compared to the shadow elf which takes four to get it maxed(one BPS freed really does go a long way when its something long term like this)

Like I said, not a big deal, its a wonderful set either way, but that one small tweak would make it all the better. Im not trying to protect my own interest, since I keep a wolf set for the arena in my pack anyways I can max out FC easy, but I know not everyone can afford the wolf set, and I think having FC as part of the set bonus would just make sense.

Where do you get the longsword of Valnar

Normal creatures in the final map (before the SE ones) :)


I believe it's also available at the shop, although my memory is a bit fuzzy.

Now I'm trying to remember how I completed the last quest that required an SE kill (Lishka).

Can someone tell me any verified information regarding spawn rates of SEs? On the hour? Less frequently?

Completely and totally random.

It used to be at XX:10, but then they changed it.

I know Elites were every ten minutes, starting on the hour. Perhaps they still are (seemed to be so for the 3 Elites connected to the quest).

Elites are more varied, some are every ten minutes, some are 5, some are 15, and some are instant respawn. There's a thread in the creatures section of the forum about it.

Had no idea there was a thread.

Actually, had no idea there was a forum section devoted to Creatures, LOL. Thanks for the tip.

I looked for that thread the other day n couldn't find it - i think it might have fallen foul of the post-pruning.

http://www.pgguild.webs.com/elites.htm has all the elites listed up to Level 740 with the spawn times i managed to copy sometime ago, but if anyone can help fill in the gaps, I'd appreciate it :)

I know this may sound like a complaint, but it isn't really. More of an observation. At the end of this quest you are required to kill a SE creature. While I know that there are other quests that require you to kill a Super Elite to finish it, but this one is different for several reasons.

1) This Super Elite can show up in one of 4 different areas, that are not directly connected to each other. To my knowledge both Xinderoth and Lishka show up in only one area.
2) This particular SE is being actively farmed for his gear. I don't recall that being the case with Xinderoth (not sure about Lishka). The other day I noticed from the Kill Logs that the same person had killed him the last three times. In that respect this situation is not unlike the Elemental Titans being farmed for RP. And this isn't even an Epic Quest.
3) This particular SE also requires you to have a special sword equipped, that you have to invent, and is BOUND so that I have to carry it around in my BP until I am able to finish this quest.

Up until the SE part of the quest, this quest was GREAT. It was frustrating at times trying to get some of the swords to drop, but at the same time it was fun. I guess I'm just a little frustrated at how difficult the last step is going to be.

eh.... So? You have to search. Nice stam sink and whatnot.... makes it harder to find the critter

It's good gear.... so yes, it is desirable. The Xind SE set is meh and the lishka gear is highish level. Not -too- many there to farm it and by time there is, it'll already be well into circulation. :P

3) This particular SE also requires you to have a special sword equipped, that you have to invent, and is BOUND so that I have to carry it around in my BP until I am able to finish this quest.


if you don't want to carry it around, drop it. lol

Will admit, bit rough.... not much when you consider the costs a lot of SE hunters go through.


All in all, very well done on the quest, HCS. The takashi set as well as the new SE set are very nice and disirable as well as having some drawbacks to them. (Takashi clashing with Fozzy and Averills, new SE set clashing with RROD and ignatius, etc)

True, true. This by itself isn't all the much of an issue, but when you combine it with the fact that you are also racing farmers that makes it a lot more frustrating.

I guess that is part of my point. The level 420 and 540 quest are by their very nature easier because of a combination of fewer people at that level and the sets that are dropped not being as desirable. Also consdering that there is no value in the Elemental Titans outside of the quest, those quest (which are Epic Quests) will be much easier to complete than this standard quest.

Yeah, that's what I'm going to do, drop it. :) Considering that I spent around 5k stamina getting to this point in the quest and had to kill around 50 of the middle Elite (can't remember the name off hand), in order to get the necessary two swords, this sword is going to be stuck to me until I finish this quest.

As I said, I REALLY enjoyed this quest right up until the point where I'm having to fight farmers and 4 medium sized maps that are not directly connected trying to find one guy that when killed may not re-spawn for 1 or more hours. I love this game, but I can't afford to spend hours playing trying to find one SE just to finish this quest. Maybe somehow my OCD can be put on the back burner, and I'll just swing by before or after Titan hunting to see if I get lucky.

hehe... well, my point is if this quest was released back in the beginning, it wouldn't be an issue with how you're lookin at it. :)

But it was released WAY after people have passed 700. So a lot of the playerbase can reach it. But that will die down in time. It's not a temporary qeust.... challenging, but it'll be there for awhile. The SE set is awesome, Quest Xp very good (around half a level here), so it shouldn't be easy to get.

I think Lishka would have similar issues, had it been released when 50% of the playerbase was past/at that content. lol

Hell, I have good reason to want that SE set to be easily accessible to me, but it would be nice to have to kick, scratch, and scrape for that set. :)

I've done much harder quests for a lot less..... I like how the quest is like the kraken one in that it opens up a new powerful critter to fight

What's the deal with the swirling black hole at Gate of Khel 2, 2?

Is it supposed to be a portal? That would be extremely handy.

Ol' Lishka is on three medium realms that are not directly connected, so this is not to different. It's simply a challenge. :wink:

You guys seem to be forgetting that this Super Elite must be killed AND drop the Possessions of Fushiyoma a minimum of 9 times just so that a player can invent the entire super elite set for themselves. If a person were very lucky in the inventing process and saved some components along the way it could theoretically be less. It's just a very challenging and in my opinion well done quest.
