Re: Besieged Tips
Im new to ToAU as well.

So you can actually gain exp from Beseiged? What is the max cap? And As a 56RDM, if I go around healing (lol wont be able to DD), it is easy to get "cap" xp?

I assume all the usual rules apply when you die (xp loss, weakness).

I also read that it is a great way to get skillups spamming AoE's - wont i get too much hate if I do, and thus die a quick horrible death?

Re: Besieged Tips
Lol I just read that, which answers some.

To clarify:

If all the NPCs arenot captured, do you automatically get these special items or do you have to find and talk to these NPC's?

Re: Besieged Tips
There is no xp loss for dying in besieged.

The temporary items will be given to you automatically once besieged starts, or upon zoning into Al Zhabi if besieged is in progress. The items do not take up or require space in your regular inventory, they have their own special inventory space.

Re: Besieged Tips
Cool.

How long does beseiged last *normally*?

Say I die in Beseiged, and do not get raised, choose to HP. Run straight back into Beseiged:

Will I get items all over again?
Does my exp/is points get reset?

Oo I cant wait to try out Beseged now! When is it next on?

I've seen some last 30 minutes and others last 4 hours or more.

While you can get new items if you HP, if the zone is full you won't get back in anyway.

I don't think dying resets it. However, leaving the zone probably would. At your level, your cap will be pretty low regardless. I would advise just to keep reraise up and just go around healing as many people as possible.

Its pretty random. Check the Besieged Region Map. When one of the enemy forces is listed as Preparing, then it means a Besieged will happen. The lag between Preparing and Attacking can take a couple hours though.

Re: Besieged Tips
Maybe I read you post wrong Eticket but you do get new items if you die and hp . I did spirit surge about 10 times one besieged.



Thanks Kazuki.

One of the temp items resets your JAs, including two-hours. If you die and hp and re-enter then you'll get the item again and can 2-hour again. Rinse. Repeat.

I was under the impression you didn't get them back but apparently you do.

Re: Besieged Tips
I was under the impression that HPing during Beseiged meant you kicked yourself out of Beseiged. Do you get around that by setting your HP to a spot inside the Al Zahbi zone?

Provided the zone isn't full you can get back in. If the zone is full you'll get kicked out even if your hp is in Al-Zahbi.

Re: Besieged Tips
As long as Al wasabi isn't full you can zone back in at any time during besieged.

However I always thought doing so (Home point and zone back in) would reset your ISP/Exp points. I wonder if that's really the case.

Re: Besieged Tips
My hp is still in Al Zahbi. I would die, take revitalizer, call wyvern, use tp wing, sneak attack then find a mob, SS then use wheeling thrusts. Usually that was enough for the mob to turn to me and kill me.

Do the besieged Quturbs take a lot more damage than say mamool ja mobs?



Thanks Kazuki.
