Sky
So I managed to get Sky with the help of my awesome LS

So now Iv got Sky....what is there to do in Sky?

I always thought Sky was a whole new area (seveal zones etc) but from what I can tell, Its just literally a big platform with teleports to several Sky God pop areas.

What I'm saying is, is this it? Sky is only used for Gods?

Re: Sky
Used to be used to exp, you still can but its hard to get people to go there with all the ToAU areas. Apart from that missions/gods is about it I think.

Re: Sky
Pretty much the whole point to sky is gods and farming triggers to spawn them, yes. There was a time people also EXPed there (we still honestly could), but its no longer common.

Take some time to grab coffer keys and try to get the maps for all three sky zones if you can. Navigating sky can be a real pain in the ass since everything looks so similar from on area to the next. Apparently the Zilart and the Covenant have the same design theory - make an area so boring and repetitive that your enemies either (1) get bored and leave or (2) kill themselves from the insanity it creates.

Re: Sky
Haha Mhurron, very good.

3 Sky zones? Wow, shows how closely I looked, I thought the 3 maps on Wiki was the same zone. But it was like 2am in the morning.

I have promised myself to go on a Coffer/Chest hunt spree at some point, Iv got like a billion keys taking up space in my MH for various zones that I need maps for and are chest/coffer maps.

But I want 75 1st :p

Re: Sky
Sky used to be the place for insane TP burns before TAU.

I bet you could get some amazing EXP there off the old weapon camps, since you wouldn't have much competition nowadays.

Also nice for EXP if you ever decide to level BST.

Other than that, it's mostly just for quests, missions, and gods... Although if you're a mage, you could try making some spare cash off Elementals.

Re: Sky
If I have one piece of advice for you about sky, its to learn how to get around in all the zones

There's nothing more irritating than trying to find someone who is lost but has been to sky 230982432 times before.

Get yourself the maps if you can, better yet, find some maps online that label everything and draw lines for you so you can navigate through the teleportals.

Re: Sky
Interested about the Elementals....are these any different than the "normal" elementals? Or just happens to be in abundance there?

Re: Sky
There's tons of them. Go do some walking around up there, in Ru'Aun, the place is full of the things.

Re: Sky
Hehe, yes I still need to do some exploring.

It *was* very late, and once I had been teleported up there I saw all these teleports, took a few random ones, and then warped out.

Re: Sky
Careful about that. Sky is FULL of magic aggro. Actually, I think everything there except for the birds magiggros. Warping can turn into Blood Porting quicker than you can say "Oh shit. Forgot about that..."
