The Guildmasters

Hi all,

Well, I’ve been playing for about a week now and have managed to get myself to guild rank 7 , I’m also at level 43 so not doing too bad.  I did go online for a little while today and I see that there is still quite a few playing this game.  There are also a lot of older players who have been playing since it first came out, yet I still don’t really understand why they are closing the servers, a little unfair to those who really enjoy playing this one online.

Also managed to get another trophy today, which was a surprise, I’m also binding quite a lot of items, weapons and armor as I go along as I know one of the hardest trophies is going to be the 450 item bind trophy. I think I will probably play for a few days online while the servers are still up and get some help with a few quests while the help is there. Want to thank Cloud who ran King of Dragons with me and also Dragons Heat, would have never S ranked those on my own at this level.

That’s about it for now, got The Last of US on my list at Gamefly and I won’t add any more games until that comes out and hopefully, I will get that the day of its release or one or two days later. Hope everyone is enjoying themselves on the games you’re playing, let me know what you’re up to. Happy gaming.

Hi all,

I managed to get to Guild Rank 9 today, now comes the long haul as each guild rank gets further and further away, GR 10 is 5,000,000 points away but hitting guild rank 9 has opened up another four or five new quests for me. I have managed to get myself around 24 out of the 50 S ranks needed so i’m still hopeful that I can get the platinum for this one. Once the servers close down next week it will probably take me a few months to solo whatever is left but I don’t mind that.

Should be getting The Last of Us in a week or so and i’m also renting Skyrim again as I loved playing that game and I want to get that platinum on this account. While i’m writing about my WKC update i’d like to take the opportunity to thank all the players that have helped me out while i’ve been online. There isn’t many on there now and there are still a couple of idiots but I have had some great players run with me in a few quests. It’s just a shame we only have a short time together to get what we can while we can.

Will probably only update one more time before the servers go down, i’m really hoping I can hit guild rank 10 before they do go down, then it will just be the long haul to guild rank 12, I may or may not have to work my way up to guild rank 15 depending on the 450 item bind trophy, if some of the items are too rare then I may just end up grinding to 15 although it’s not essential for the platinum.

Well that’s about it for now, I will end up making some videos for Skyrim, yeah I know there are a ton out there but i’m sure I can think of something different, i’ll also be doing some vids on The Last of Us. So until then, happy gaming 🙂

Hi all,

Yes this was the big question for me earlier in the week, but after hitting GR 8 yesterday and Level 47 I think I can do it. I know the servers go down in about a week so am making the most of it online while it’s available. I just got the trophy for 20 S ranks which really surprised me as that was the main trophy I expected to have trouble with. If I can get the other 30 S ranks by next week then I believe I can get the rest offline.

The only other very hard trophy to get solo is the 450 item bind but I do think it’s doable ( is that a word? ) Anyway I did get another trophy today and that was for binding 50 items as i’ve been binding items every chance I get. The other trophies will come over time but doing it solo means that ones like GR 12 will probably take a couple of months but i’m not too worried about it, I still love playing the game and if it keeps me on there longer that’s great.

Have found 3 people to quest with who are the same guild rank as me which really helps so will quest with them for the next week and hopefully get to around guild rank 10 before it goes offline, that’s my goal anyway. Will update more over the weekend as I don’t get enough done in one day to update daily.

Hope everyone is enjoying the games they are playing at the moment, keep on playing and let me know how it’s going for you all.

Hi all,

Just wanted to bring a couple of things to your attention if your just starting to play White Knight Chronicles 2.

First of all, when it comes to rebirthing, which enables you to gain extra points to put into your skill trees, try and hold off until around GR 22 as it is a long process to get back to level 80 otherwise.

I just did my first rebirth at GR 21 and it took me around 4 days to get back to level 80, admittedly my time is limited so that wasn’t four straight days but still, it took a while.

I have been told by various guild members that it is much quicker if you wait until your GR 22 or higher. Having said that, if you do decide to rebirth before hand, I found the quickest way is to go to bunker load caverns Free Monster Quest and enter Chaotic Rift, go alone and let your two other characters die, this way you will get around 1200EXP per lizard/sprog kill which is pretty good.

Another thing to wait for is your geotown, it is easy to want to create a town early on but it doesn’t really do you any favors, it costs a ton of money to upgrade and a lot of time and effort to get any decent harvest points. I recommend you wait and quest from those towns which have 60/60/60 stats to maximize your harvest after each quest.

Also try and keep at least 25-50 of each items you get, every item in the game has a use and if your going for all trophies you’ll need even the smaller items for binding etc..

Later in the game, from around GR20+ you will get items that are worth lots of money so it is easier to get a ton of money after GR 20, some items sell for as high as $5,000 or more.

Lastly make use of your guild, every day log in and visit your guild town to get 3 tokens, even if you don’t have time to play get your tokens as they help you and the guild progress and get better items.

Ok that’s about it for now on the game i’m playing, if your looking for help just look for me under username Assassin or find the guild “In God We Trust”.

I’ve been reviewing the new Assassins Creed and will post my review later tomorrow, believe me, it’s worth the wait.

Tony 🙂

For those who haven’t yet got the game and are thinking of buying it now would be the time, it’s a great game with so many hours playtime it was worth the price when it was new, but now you can get it for as little as $10 at amazon.

Hi all,

There has been a game that I have been waiting for, and I mean like, forever. That game is Thief 4, it promised to be a very awesome game, as was the previous Thief.

The reason i’m disappointed is that I just found out that it will probably never be released on the PS3, it has been earmarked for next gen consoles only, which is a real shame.

I know they have had some major problems with the development side of things but it seemed like they had got a good team together and really started working around the clock on this one. Everything I read was positive, everything was on track etc…

This probably means that I won’t get to play this game for at least another two years, maybe longer, I hope not. They can really do a lot with this one.

On a totally different issue, as you all know i’ve been playing WKC 2 and I keep getting the subject come up about a WKC 3. This is quite possible as if you finish story mode in WKC 2, and continue watching after the credits there is a cut scene which says “to be continued”.

There are many rumors suggesting that a 3rd installment would not become available in Europe or America. Personally I don’t see that, although Japan has a following with the White Knight Chronicles, it’s not a huge following like other Japanese games.

Once the game has been made, which is the hardest part, then it’s only a matter of translation ( and a few other things )to make it worldwide, and the Japanese aren’t ones to miss out on a golden opportunity when it comes to money.

The same was said about WKC 2 and we all have it, this is because from a marketing point it makes sense to do that. It also makes sense to start rumors that Europe and America won’t be getting it because it has the opposite effect. When something may not be available people start wanting to know more about it.

Anyway that’s my personal view, i’m sure there are arguments for and against most things but eventually we all have to wait and see, it’s not the end of the world if we don’t see a third installment but it would be very nice if there will be one.

I’ll be talking about some games coming out in 2013 soon as well as those ones which will be available for christmas.

Hi all,

I’ve been playing WKC 2 for about 6 weeks now and it’s a much more enjoyable experience than the previous one. Those that know me realize how much that means as I played the first one for two years.

The option to join a guild is great and if your going to play this game you really must join one. This gives you extra benefits, such as upgrading your knight, better materials in stores depending on your guilds level, plus the added extra of other guild members helping each other out.

I’m guessing there will be various guilds which are not as helpful and those that are. Thankfully I have joined a guild that virtually dedicates play time to helping the lower guild ranks as well as helping others gain materials and points.

The guild I joined is run by Kiya who, along with Kayden is extremely helpful, if your running a new quest they will even give you a run down of whats to come and allocate specific people to do specific tasks when needed, especially helpful in hard quests that are being run for the first time.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in the guild “In God We Trust” as I don’t remember all the names. Special thanks goes to Kiya, Kayden, Rodrigo, Hawk, N4T…, Abu, Kaito and Shy who have at different times helped me get to where I am in the game. I really do appreciate all the help you guys have given me and look forward to running many more quests with you all daily.

Those that read this and do not yet have a guild, check this guild out, it’s how a guild should be, like a family, helping one another out to get the most enjoyment and satisfaction from the game as a whole.

Ok enough plugging, where i’m at, I have reached GR 20 and level 80 (phew) and I managed to complete all errands, yes I finally got that ridiculous Flemron 108, and before anyone asks I did nothing special, I ran the forest FMQ for two weeks off and on and around 120 times with nothing, then yesterday morning I thought I would spend the whole day running it until I got the 108, second run in it dropped. I did nothing different so I cannot give any tips on that, it’s just one of those really rare drops that you will either get early if your extremely lucky, or eventually, after lots of runs.

Well this post has gone on long enough, I will be talking more about other games over the coming weeks and also go into some detail about the new gaming forum i’m going to be opening in the new year.

Tony 🙂

Hi all,
Yes we now have a definite release date for White Knight Chronicles 2. For those that don’t know it’s going to be out 31st August 2011.

This is America release date for sure but it’s my guess it will be about the same time in Europe, give or take a week or two, Europe usually gets the same game within a short period of time so i’m really looking forward to that.

Recently due to the fact I haven’t been able to get online, i’ve got the platinum trophy for my Bioshock 2 which now brings my total to 7 Platinums.

I will try and get some more new releases posted over the next week or so but i’m pretty busy everywhere so i’m finding myself a bit tight on play time.

For anyone who needs help on WKC still i’ll be popping on once or twice a week, probably at weekends and i’ll be in my town to help anyone out that needs it.

Tony:)

I’ll be on WKC today for a good few hours if anyone wants to join us. If Death is on we will be trying to level him up and get some spider+ stuff that he needs.

Finished story (main quest) in Borderlands yesterday morning but there are still a ton of quests and trophies to get so will problably continue to play that a couple of hours each morning.

Didn’t see any comments on the latest game trailers, thought a few would have been happy to see those coming out next year. Elder Scrolls and Uncharted 3 are two games I could probably say for sure that I will buy after playing previous game in those series.

Tony:)

Our first attempt at making a walkthru of one of the white knight chronicles quests, A Grave Matter III, enjoy.



Thanks to wildcuffy and death for their involvement in the making of this video, without them it would have been nothing. Thanks guys.

Tony:)

For those who read the blog and haven’t yet joined the forum we have just started our quest to make videos of our in game and multiplayer gaming on some of the games we are playing.

Thanks to Wildcuffy and Death we managed to put together our first Guildmasters video of the Grave Matter quest. We are hoping to get one video of each quest for several reasons. Firstly to have some fun like we always do but this is an added extra as we can watch how we have managed to finish a quest and go over some tactics but more importantly it gives many of the newbies to the game a guide on how to complete a new quest that they haven’t yet done.

Helping others is what we do best at The Guildmasters and I want to thank cuffy and death for helping me out with the first video.

There is also an update on the free download content from Ubisoft for AC: Brotherhood which is available in december so don’t forget to check that out.

Tony:)
