The Guildmasters

Hi all,
I’ve noticed on many quests that I run that hardly anyone does the side quests. I don’t know if it’s because most don’t know the sidequests or because it’s just quicker not to do them.

The thing with sidequests it usually ensures an S rank although that isn’t too important to many but it also gives different items which can be very useful.

If your not really sure what i’m talking about i’ll give some examples. One that comes straight to mind is Material Advisor 1 or 2, i’ve played this often as at times I need a Massive Molar or Incisor so I go to this quest, it’s great for drops.

Whenever I play this one though a group of people just keep getting one Ahwanee, thing is there is a side quest which enables you to fight two at a time, same with the Treants.

Another side quest that I have only ever seen done once is Caravan Escort, there is actually an Earth Dragon on this quest.

There are quite a few more so over the next week or so I think i’m going to post all the side quests for each main quest, this will help newcomers to the game cover much more than just a basic quest, if you want extra stuff you can do the full quest or just go for the main quest.

Hi all,
Sorry for the lack of posts today but I had lost my connection (thanks to my pc’s) for about 16hrs.

I did manage to get my Gratos Cloak fully enhanced last night, took a few hours more than expected due to no matter what I tried could not get anyone to run the quest with me. Even made a post on the message board, got only one response and I messed that quest up so I apologize for that.

So my Gratos Cloak is at +10 and here are the final stats on that for anyone that is interested:

DEF 68 RES 20 HP+130 MP+96 STR+56 and is also resistant to Poison/Silence.

This is quite impressive and you should also bear in mind it is only one of two top pieces of armor with STR bonus (as far as I know). The other being the Knightlord Armor which I have yet to acquire as I prefer the Knightlord over the Gratos. The reason I haven’t been able to get hold of the Knightlord Armor is because of those elusive Fire-dragon Skulls+

I’ve run that quest over 70 times and never had a skull+ that’s harsh, still at least I have some new found STR from my Gratos Cloak.

I did manage to play offline today but could only run Home of the Knave 3 solo, was trying to get a magic core+ for my final enhancement of the Tsukuyomi Spear, i’ll be happy when that is at +10

The only other piece of equipment that I have to get to +10 is my Witchblade and that requires 3 Aged Dragon Hearts+ and we know how that goes, close to impossible seeing as I haven’t had one of those in months.

I’m not too worried as experience tells me you get these things when your not really trying, i’ve also learnt that if I want something for my spear, equip the sword, and if I want something for my sword, equip the spear gear, just seems to work better.

Well if I play tonight it won’t be for too long as it’s already coming up to midnight and I like to start around 9 or 10pm so i’m back 2hrs on today already, i’ll probably do some research and prepare some more info for the blog but I look forward to more time on tomorrow.

Hi all,
Here is a couple of links to Wiki pages, I know wiki is not always the most reliable source of info but i’ve personally checked these two out and bookmarked them and used them often.

First one is the Resident List for Georama, it lists location of residents and where to get them and also what items needed to give certain residents to obtain them in your town.

Click here to go to resident list

The next link takes you to the unlockable list is quite detailed and contains all the unlockable items and what your town stats need to be in order to get them, if your playing WKC you really need to bookmark this list or even print it out as I did, it’s really helpful and even lists the coins and what is needed to get them.

Click here for unlockable list for Georama

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Unknown_PC and Arthellinus for going to the trouble of making these pages, it must have taken forever and it’s great when someone does this for others benefit, cool work.

Tony 🙂
P.S.I wanted to put this Wiki link too, it’s the skill tree for spear, not entirely helpful but if you scroll to the bottom of the page you can click on virtually anything to do with WKC, armor, weapons, enhancements etc..

Click here for wiki spear tree and more

If you just click the link it will open up the wiki page, if you want it to open in a new window just right click your mouse and hit ‘open in new tab’.

Tony 🙂

P.P.S. Sorry about the additions but it’s all related. Death this one is a complete list of armor sets and shows the weight class, light , medium or heavy which you was asking me about a little while back. This should help.

Tony:)

First of all I would like to show you these stats when wearing a bunch of gear that I own, it’s a mix match but it’s probably close to what I would wear if I was tanking. Low on STR but very high in DEF as a tank needs to be able to take damage not deal damage although this set up with added VIT will not entirely be without damage attacks, with this set up you can still do some reasonable damage when using attacks like Dart, Pentaslam and Sonic Javelin. Here are my stats on this particular setup:
ATK 241 DEF 608 MAG 104 RES 85 STR 100 VIT 243 INT 104 SPR 65 AGI 107 DEX 115 To get such high DEF this is what I was wearing:

Warriors Fists+10 DEF 67 water attribute+4 MP+42 VIT+52 AGI+42

Warlords Footgear+10 DEF 79 HP+192 INT+56 DEX+46

Knightlord Pants+10 DEF 77 wind attribute+12 HP+158 MP+16 VIT+56

Valiant Armor+10 DEF 77 wind attribute+4 HP+128 MP+14 VIT+35

Accessory: Bloody Chlamys RES 10 MP+15 VIT+4 AGI+4

Accessory:Colossal Ring DEF 1 STR+5 (not usually used, usually use the Godspeed Ring for an extra 5 AGI)

Weapon: Tsukuyomi+9 ATK 141 HP+56 STR+7 VIT+1

Shield: Royal Shield DEF 64 RES 10 HP+48 VIT+5 SPR+5

This is by no means a typical spear users set up, it’s just one I put together to show you how you can mix things up and as you can see it doesn’t have to be all GR 12 gear, the Valiant Armor is actually GR 11 armor.

Now this can all be switched around with other armor parts, you can up your STR when needed at the loss of some DEF and lets face it you can afford to lose over 100 on DEF in still be in good shape, it’s a matter of experimenting. Anyway I’ll get on with some armor sets with some typical stats used by most spear users.

The best VIT stats I can find on leg gear is the Knightlord Pants at +10 it gives a DEF 77 HP+158 and VIT+56 you won’t find higher than 56 so that is about the best.

Here is the stats for the Knightlord Fists at +9: DEF 77 water attribute +12 MP+9 INT+28 AGI+22 the AGI will double up at +10

Knightlord Boots at +6 is DEF 74 Earth attribute of +12 HP+96 SPR+27 DEX 23 double up on HP SPR and DEX at +10 Sorry but I don’t yet have the armor yet (top part) these sets can be really hard to get.

The next set with AGI is the Warriors set:

Warriors Fists at +10 DEF 67 MP+42 VIT+52 AGI+42

Warriors Lorica+9 DEF 73 HP+88 MP+16 SPR+26 Sorry but I don’t have the other two parts, didn’t realize how much stuff I was missing.

Anyway if you see how this goes there is no one complete set that has just AGI or just DEX so you have no choice but to mix and match. I believe the way level 5 did this is so if you wear a whole set you will be evenly distributed, some of each stat, so if you need more AGI than STR you have to take certain parts from each armor set that has the requirements you want, this would be more ‘specialist’ type armor or customized which is probably better.

It seems because I mix and match so much I don’t have a full set of any GR 12 armor but really that’s how you have to use it. Another part of armor you will see many wearing is the Kukulkan armor, again I don’t have to top part but I do have the cuffs and they are at +10 here are the stats: DEF 54 RES 30 MP+72 VIT+24 AGI+42

Now again if you look at the Kukulkan Trousers+9 the stats seem almost the opposite, here they are:
DEF 62 RES 30 HP+64 MP+32 SPR+26

This is actually getting me down a bit because I have tons of armor but hardly any complete set, the GR 12 armor sets are pretty hard to get hold of, you really need to farm many mats for each piece, and that is apart from the coin prices you need to come up with.

An example of items needed to get just one item is lets say you just wanted the Kukulkan Shoes, you would need 1 swallowtail cocoon which isn’t so bad but you also need 40 Deviltails to bind it, don’t sound too bad either? I have never sold a Deviltail and i’ve been GR 15 for about 3 months so I should have tons right? No, I have only 20 and I know where to get them, that’s how rare some of these items are.

Now most if not all GR 12 armor sets will use items from GR 12 quests and if you notice throughout the game a GR 12 player isn’t usually strong enough to deal with GR 12 quests which is why you need 3 or 4 players so if you find yourself in my situation where there isn’t always players running the quests you need it can get pretty tough acquiring your items.

Well this post was supposed to be GR 12 armor sets for spear users but i’m not going to be able to give the best information at this stage, I didn’t realize this before I started writing so I will spend the next couple of weeks adding to this post as and when I gather more info. My apologies for the title but I will complete this topic eventually.

I would like to point out that being a spear user either Tank or Damage Dealer or both you should acquire 5 spears, 1 with each element added and one main one for physical attack. To be honest there isn’t too many quests where you even require a tank, maybe 3 or 4 quests. The rest are going to be elementals or something that has weaknesses which a team of 3 or 4 can cover quite easily if equipped correctly.

Ok sorry again for the lack of info here but it will be updated as we go along.

Tony 🙂

Hi all,
It looks like I will have to carry on with my experiment for handouts by NPC’s over the weekend as there isn’t enough players online to run quests with at the moment.

Anyway this post is for those of you who need those hard to get dragon items, you know, the ones that only seem to get dropped if you break the dragons tail or back or if your extremely lucky enough to get them in the reward screen at the end of King Of Dragons Quest.

Well if your not quite strong enough to take a dragon out on your own and can’t find anyone to run the quest with you here is what you can do.

First you want to start KOD either 1, 2 or 3 depending on your rank, level and items your after, doesn’t matter if you can’t solo this quest as it’s just for the items you need.

Next you can kill some elementals on your way to the dragon you need, let’s say it’s the Wind dragon, it’s a bit of a hike and you’ll probably need your combo up to break his tail, then what? You don’t get the item drop, or you get only 1 and you need 3, so you go back, quit the quest and try again, wrong, don’t quit the quest.

For those that don’t know if you don’t kill the dragon but break his tail, run away, collect a few items from collect points, build your combo up again, after a few minutes his tail will reset and you can break it again.

This quest is an hour and thirty minutes long, in that time you can pretty much break the dragons tail as many times as you like without restarting the quest. And if you can kill a dragon then near the end of quest time take him out for more bonus item drops.

You can’t do this with the Ancient Dragon as he is the final boss and you can’t run away i’m afraid.

Just a tip to get dragons stuff quicker for those who didn’t know.

Tony 🙂

Ok i’ve run the first 10 quests for the item drop experiment to find out what gives in my town. I have only included items that I consider unusual or rare that the NPC’s give after a quest, I have not included the many items given that are common or the items from pick up points, just the rare items from NPC’s.

1st Quest: Big Red 3 run with 4 players:
Items given after quest:
Red Ore given by Jerome

2nd Quest: Big Red 3 run with 4 players:
Items given after quest: Rough Saphire given by Xander and one given by Ven Lien Wind-Dragon Flake given by Lucas

3rd Quest: Big Red 3 run with 3 players:
Items given after quest: Fire-Giant Eye given by Dianus and another Rough Saphire from Xander Aged Dragon Heart given by Palt

4th Quest: Big Red 3 run with 3 players:
Items given after quest: Rough Ruby given by Clark and Fire-Giant Heart Bit given by Hector

5th Quest: Big Red 3 run with 3 players:
Items given after quest: Knave Panel given by Colin

6th Quest: Home of the Knave 2 Solo:
Items given after quest: Knave Panel given by Charlelone Wind Dragon Flake given by Lucas and Troll Armor Suit given by Lau Varie

There was a break then and when I came back online I could run round the town and pick up items again and got 1 Knave panel from Colin

7th Quest: Home of the Knave 1 Solo:
Items given after quest: Ice-Dragon Beard given by Beketov and Dew Drop given by Colin

8th Quest: Big Red 2 Solo:
Items given after quest: Ice-Dragon Scale+ given by Taltenos

9th Quest: Big Red 2 Solo:
Items given after quest: Ice-Dragon Scale+ given by Taltenos again

10th Quest: Big Red 2 Solo:
Items given after quest: Red Ore given by Jerome Troll Armor Suit given by Ven Lien and Troll King Mace given by Vincent.

As you can see and as Death pointed out to me the items are definitely not quest related. First 10 quests didn’t give much in the way of + stuff and I think when I was getting lots of + items I was running quests like KOD 3 SA 2 GH 2 and DD 2 so another theory could be the harder the quest you run the better the items given. First ten quests were easy ones so the next 10 I run will be moderate then the 10 after that will be GR12 lvl 50 quests just to see if the items improve by the difficulty of the quest run.

Tony 😉

Wow tonight has been awesome. I was really going to run from my town and carry on with my item experiment but I checked the message board first, then checked a few rooms as always. Spotted just 3 players running Home of the Knave 3 and i’ve been trying to find people to run that quest with for weeks to get my magic core+, I need two of them.

Well we ran that quest about 7 or 8 times, took 7 minutes to finish and that’s good, didn’t get a single magic core +, then the guy who was running the quest said he had had enough of Home of the Knave but if we wanted to run another quest he would so I asked where the best quest was to get Lethal Gallstone, another GR 15 was in there and said the Swallowtail glitch.

Ok so my ears perked up and wanted to know the details, he said he would run it with us, I needed just one Lethal Gallstone for my Gratos Cloak and got it first time and I thank that guy so much for being there, i’ve run Greaver Hunt more than 20 times and never got a gallstone, yet got one first time on Swallowtails, amazing.

I do feel guilty for not running with my experiment as I hate getting off a schedule I have planned but it was so worth it, i’ve been trying to get either the Gratos Cloak or the Knightlord Armor for about a month and just couldn’t get the mats.

I will get back to my experiment tomorrow without a doubt but just wanted to post what I did achieve tonight, so pleased.

You may be wondering what is so damn special about the Gratos Cloak, well there are only two pieces of top armor that give STR bonus, one is the Gratos Cloak and the other is the Knightlord Armor, this means now that when it’s upgraded to +10 I will actually have a full set of armor pieces all with STR bonuses, which would actually put my STR to over 300, something I have to try out at least once although I will probably even it all out like I usually do but it’s been so annoying at times when I need to put on extra AGI and haven’t got a top part for STR, now I do. Cool.

Well it’s now gone 3am and i’m going to bed, good luck all, hope to catch a few of you tomorrow and run some quests and get some of my item experiment done.

Tony 🙂

I’m working on an experiment by running 100 quests to see what rare items these new NPC’s are giving and what the % rate is, since getting these new expensive NPC residents i’ve picked up some items that players online are saying cannot be got from Geo towns.

Well a couple of days ago I did get an Aged Dragon Skull and today I got an Aged Dragon Heart, both from the new level 10 residents, not the free ones, the residents that you have to give a 150K coin to.

I’ve also got a Knave face + and Red Ore+ as well as many fire,earth,wind and ice dragon items +.

I will be posting the findings on my blog as well as in my log at WKC. If anyone running from my town comes across what you would consider to be a rare item from one of the residents i’d appreciate it if you let me know so I can keep a track of what is giving and how often.

I’m also thinking the items given may be quest based since I got the Aged Dragon Heart after running KOD 2 and the Red Ore + after running the Big Red quest (I believe the golems can give red ore+), could just be a coincidence which is why i’m running the 100 quests to get a better picture.

Hi all,
Well I opened up my town today and because of a post on the message board so George could find me I had the most players ever in my room/town, there was 5 at one time which for me is 3 more than my previous ‘most’.

It was good to meet up with George at last (Genmei) and I managed to run one quest with DEATH, good to see your in Earth armor now death, sorry we only managed one quest together.

Also met two more players I hadn’t met before so ran a few quests with Toboe and Yuna, sorry couldn’t be of more help but I try to spread myself around a bit to be fair.

Hope to quest with you all again soon, twas a good day, thankyou.

Tony 🙂

Well after soloing Big Red 3 a few times I thought I would try some more level 3 quests. Last night I did Home Of The Knave 3 solo and it was reasonably easy although I did have to switch gear during the fight.

Worked out quite well as I got my Longsword combo up and hit him with that, then while he was on his knees I switched over to Spear and Shield to finish him off. Only managed A rank but I often only get A rank when playing with multiplayer anyway as we rarely do the sidequest.

I think I might try the sidequest too, not sure exactly what it is, I think you have to talk to a NPC at some point and kill all magi for S rank.

Still can’t solo Ancient Dragon but hoping to accomplish that when I get the rest of my Knightlord armor.

I’m also not spending much as i’m after that elusive 10 million guilder trophy, only got 1.8 mill at the moment which is why I farm elementals a lot in KOD 3 and I can take out the fire dragon in the hope of a dragon skull+

At the moment my stats are constantly changing for each quest as I chop and change my gear but my Longsword stats for quests like big red are ATK 388 DEF 341 RES 174 STR 210 SPR 112 AGI 156 and DEX 113 This seems ok for big red but I can easily add more STR if needed or up my AGI

When i’m using my spear I switch gear. When running a quest solo if i’m going to use spear only this is my set up: Tsukuyomi + 9 Royal Shield +10 Shadow Sollerets +10 Knightlord Pants +10 Valiant Armor +10 and Warrior Fists +10 Yes I know the Valiant armor is GR 11 but you shouldn’t think because an armor or weapon is a lower GR you shouldn’t use it, the Valiant armor gives me an added 35 VIT DEF 77 and an extra 128 HP

This set up gives me the following stats : ATK 290 DEF 605 STR 149 VIT 243 AGI 112 and DEX 113. If I start to get hit more than I want to then i’ll switch to the Warlords Cuirass giving me an added 44 AGI for a total of 156 AGI this does take away some from DEF but not enough to worry about and it means I get hit a lot less, hardly at all by mobs, if ever.

Well I hope some of this makes sense to you, i’m still experimenting with gear and i’m also trying to get more spears and swords to add elements to, soon I shall be a force to be reckoned with, at least to Kibbles and Vespids anyway, LOL.

Tony 🙂
