The Guildmasters

Hi all,
I just ran a couple of quests with a Guild Rank 1 which was fairly awkward really as there are only two quests available to Guild Rank 1 players which is a shame.

I wanted to let any GR 1 or higher players that if they have any questions it’s easier to ask them here or at the forum as I can answer your questions much quicker and easier on here than with the stupid controller text. Even more annoying is that when I go to the trouble of typing in an answer which takes me forever half of it gets censored leaving the player wondering what the hell i’ve just said,lol.

So if you have any questions i’d be happy to answer them and help you out any way I can here or at the forum.

I did want to ask other players if they knew of the glitch where low rank players can join higher rank quests, i’m not looking to cheat really, it’s more for me than for the newbie players as I don’t paricularly like the two GR 1 quests. If i’m going to help GR 1 players I don’t mind running those two really but would prefer something like a GR 4 or 5 quest.

I know low rank players can enter higher rank quests, just don’t know how they do it. I’ve actually seen a GR 5 player in Best Served Cold 3 so I know it can be done, heard others mention it too. Like I said i’m not looking to cheat as such, i’m not going to take a GR 1 into a GR 12 quest but GR 4 or 5 quest would be so much better for me.

Hi all,
Yes we decided to open up a forum, after a year of blogging it makes sense, especially with so much being posted about one game.

The forum will be easier to access and to keep an eye on your previous posts, much more user friendly and we hope you will find it fresh, interesting and a great place to hang out and get info on games coming out soon.

Also take requests for games your looking for to discuss wether they are out already or just a rumor.

We have also set up a WKC 2 thread ready for when the game hits internationally, this could be a while but hopefully by the time it does come out we will be going into that game with a fair amount of people who know each other.

Well pop over and check it out and let us know what you think, introduce yourself or get involved in a discussion, we are especially looking for players to put their name in the WKC 2 thread ready for when the game comes out. Better to start a game with friends and people you already know don’t you think?

Yep I eventually did it, just hit 10 million Guilder and savored the moment as the trophy popped up, thought it had messed up for a minute as it seemed to take a while for it to register but I got it, very pleased with that.

Now all I got is two more trophies to get, I think one is a certain amount of weapons and the other I know is the 450 item bind one. I wish there was a way of telling how many items you have already binded but it doesn’t so I will just have to keep on binding until it registers.

My guess is that before I hit the 450 items binded the other trophy will show up, I think it is for 300 or 400 weapons as it is showing a trophy after the 200 weapon one, I don’t know for sure though. Is there even that many weapons in the game? That probably would include shields although i’m not sure. I’ll check online for the other trophy later.

It looks like now i’ll be running a lot of low GR quests to bind those lower items I missed, there are loads of them so it shouldn’t be too difficult, just time consuming. I don’t think anything will be as time consuming as getting that 10 mill though.

Well thought I would let you all know how I did today which was quite an accomplishment seeing as I was out most of the day and this morning I was busy doing other stuff, so a great end to the day.

I tried to do some grinding last night but it was like pulling teeth, hardly anyone was running quests including Big Red, I think I ran big red more times with just two than with 3, only remember two times running with four players.

Kept hunting around on the map, done a couple of Home of the Knave 2 and managed one quest of Dragons Heat 3, we started with 3 on that one but the lag got so bad one had to quit and it was just me and another guy who finished the quest, i’m surprised I got to 9.1 million guilder.

I think in order for me to really get anymore questing done i’ll have to go to rooms from now on. At least there are plenty of new players still coming into the game, it will be a while before they hit the GR 12 quests but I should be able to platinum this game yet.

I wish the server didn’t have so many problems but that’s life and we have to deal with it. I just hope lower rank members don’t lose heart because of the lack of higher GR’s. I logged on this morning to check the message board and logs and I always check to see how many friends were on, the lowest i’ve seen is 5 friends playing, this morning there were 0. Shame.

Ok I know when you first hit a new guild rank all you want to do is try out the new quests, we all did it but the first thing you should do really is to read up on the quests your about to take on.

This post is to give you some advice on Desperate Defense 2 which happens to be a GR 11 quest. You should be familiar with the quest by now because you should have run the first one at least a few times

For those that don’t know it the quest involves keeping a certain Captain Roberts alive (NPC) throughout the quest, as soon as this character dies the quest is over and it’s a big ‘fail’. No items, no rewards, no exp, no guilder.

I know some of you are wondering why i’m posting this now and it’s because i’ve just tried to run this quest twice now and both times failed, with four players, this shouldn’t happen.

When you start this quest someone should say at the very least if they are babysitting the captain or not, if the other 3 players had at least said they don’t want to babysit I could have done this. I took it for granted that being the highest GR in the quest my responsibility would be to do the most damage and get through the quest quickly with some decent items.

Having said that I also should have kept checking on roberts myself, especially the second time around.

For those new to this quest first of all you should really wait for four players. Yes I have done this with two but if your going into this quest at GR 11 you really want four. No extra rewards for completing it with two so it may as well be four and make everyone’s job that much easier.

Before the quest starts someone should say if they are going to be healer or not, if no one wants to babysit then the job can be shared, it’s pretty easy and it was a shame that we failed this quest, I mean we didn’t just fail we was humiliated because we failed on the very first Giga.

That’s why I wasn’t paying attention, usually even when there is a good healer I still check on roberts but only when the two giga’s come out, my mistake.

Also as i’ve said before even if there is a healer you should each keep an eye on roberts because he can be taken out in one go, and always assume the healer is down if roberts is low. This is one quest I really miss having Fates Favor, I regret not putting that in my skill tree just for that quest.

Another point worth mentioning I think is the very first battle, the one before the giga, there is about 5 or 6 magi, don’t , and I stress please don’t rush down there and kill everyone, this is the easiest part of the quest, use it to build your AC, one of the quests I failed everyone was longsword users, they all just steamed on down and wiped out all the magi, I managed to build up a whopping 2 AC, this first part is easy for a reason, build your AC your going to need it.

This sounds more like a rant than advice and in a way it is, I came here to give this advice because I was pissed at the way we failed and I see more and more of this quest failing miserably simply because some players won’t think before they enter the quest.

This is in no way pointing fingers, just wanted a few to know the best way to beat this quest, I am totally responsible for failing this quest twice because I should have kept a check on roberts and I didn’t, I assumed other knew what they were doing.

Just a few simple steps will guarantee your success in this quest, keep Captain Roberts alive, it’s about the only thing that matters, use the first battle to build AC, then help each other through the rest, that’s it.

Hi all,
Well i’ve been pretty busy the last few days online and offline. Lost computer for a day but that’s back online now.

Managed to grind quite a bit of Big Red, now have 8.5 million towards my 10 mill trophy. Hopefully I will have chance to get on the game again today and tomorrow and finish that off.

The bind trophy shouldn’t be as bad as I expected as most of the stuff I need to bind is low level stuff so if any of you see this GR 15 running kibble quests and such you know why. I need some massive molars and troll king crowns so lots to get from the lower quests which is cool.

So what’s happened to Death and George??? Haven’t heard from you guys in a few days, still grinding? leveling? I did notice you Death in my room one day and was going to join you, went to check the message board and when I came back you were gone:(

I’m still on from 10pm till midnight my time and usually throughout the day at different times so hopefully will catch up with you guys soon.

There seem to be a few GR 11 players who seem to think that GR 15’s are invincible, had one player the other day start big red, just me and him which was ok, but then he ran and started the battle before I even had half my AC up, we eventually did the quest but then at the end he says to me “GR 15? you suck” I’m guessing that’s because he spent the first half the battle healing himself.

GR 15’s don’t mind helping but you have to help them help you, give both a chance by building AC, sometimes it’s better to wait an extra minute for a third person, the quicker you beat a boss the better/ more items you get in the reward screen, that’s why I don’t bother soloing big red so much because it takes about 5 minutes longer and I end up with hardly anything in the reward screen.

Having said that there are some pretty awesome GR 11’s coming in now, don’t mind chipping in with a heal or haste, pretty cool when everyone helps.

Well that’s what i’ve been up to, anyone else done anything interesting. Oh yes and I did spend a couple of hours helping some lower GR’s with some quests and made some new friends (i think). It’s pretty cool to see how bad things were at GR 4, I had forgotten and I was pleased to get a chance to help one or two out.

Just wanted to let those who don’t know that I’m still about but there may not be any posts for a few days while I work on some stuff behind the scenes. The sort of stuff that no one is interested in but needs to be done in order for the blog to run smoothly.

There will be some changes in the coming weeks, some apparent and some not so apparent but all for the good of the blog.

If anyone has any questions or wants something game related, like tips or info on a certain quest you can use this topic to post under and i’ll get back to you within a short time, i’m just not going to be starting any new topics for a couple of days.

Hope your all still enjoying WKC and if you see me in a quest and want some help just add me at the end of a quest, won’t be there for much over the next few days so if you catch me make the most of it and say “oi I want to add you” and i’ll wait at the end.

Tony:)

Wow,
I’ve never really bothered checking before but today I was running Best Served Cold 3 (big red) and before entering the quest I caught a glimpse of the stats, you know it says ‘Best Grade’ ‘Times Completed’ ‘Fastest Time’ etc..Well I noticed that ‘Times Completed’ was 1000, it’s now 1002, lol.

That is ridiculous, it doesn’t feel like i’ve ran that quest that much. It’s not as though i’ve run that over a couple of weeks but still it has to be the most times i’ve ever completed any kind of quest online or offline on any game, wow.

If only I had saved the items and cash from those quests I would have had the 10 mill trophy months ago. Incidentally although i’ve ran this quest so many times it has been since I was GR 11 so it’s not as bad as it sounds (yes it is). I’ve been playing this game now for about 6 months and I must admit i’ve probably played on it every day, now that sounds bad but i’m including days I only go on it for an hour but i’ve always managed to play some every day, apart from 3 I think.

Although there are and have been better games out there this one has to be one of top in terms of hours you can put in to get the platinum trophy. There are games which are harder to obtain the platinum, this one is hard in terms of time, there is no quick way even though some have got platinum at GR 12 or 13 we are still looking at racking up a minimum 1000hrs.

My hours played are registered at around 1800 but that is not entirely true as at times I just leave it on all night even though i’m not playing, plus it’s left on when i’m charging the controller. Having said that I bet my actual game play is well over the 1,000hrs.

I know there are many more players who have clocked up even more than me, I was just dumbstruck when I realised I had ran big red that many times.

How many times have you ran big red? 1, 2 or 3??

An external link for those who don’t know is a link to another website and the guildmasters accepts no responsibility for any errors, viruses or any other mishaps acquired by you visiting these outside links.

Having said that I personally check all outside links to make sure they are safe, relevant and appropriate.

Inappropriate links are links to sites that have nothing to do with gaming and while i’m at it, you idiots that keep trying to submit posts with 50 links, advertising inappropriate content and trying to get link backs, it aint working dudes. They all get deleted, I know you all pop back to see if you got away with it so you may as well give it up.

From now on i’ll be blocking IP’s emails and any other info I get on you, your posts don’t get submitted then get deleted, they automatically get deleted without seeing the light of day so don’t waste your time.

I know a lot of people are finding my blog via WKC searches on google and such so I wanted to use this post to mention to newcomers that if your looking for some good info on WKC 2 please check out the topic ‘WKC servers getting worse’.

Not in the ideal category but we have been discussing in different places on the blog WKC 2 whenever we find something new and if you check the above mentioned topic you will find some really cool links to some really cool info about WKC 2 posted by George (Genmei).

In case your having trouble finding it here is the link to the topic:
