It's called "Special Battle Plans. It is a level 48 quest.

Make sure you are on channel 1. Bludwyng may be right. I have never bothered with the festivals.

The quest chain starts in Lyk. There are several stones you have to collect. Blue at 22.5, 29.3, Red at 8.8, 30.7. Green at 27.4, 18.6. Then the red crystal is at 11.4, 20.9. the final attunement quest is Kalice at 34.0, 44.6.

I don't know. I just started questing an alt in Thunderhoof Hills last weekend and still 214k XP or 110k XP on level 55, depending on the difficulty of the quest. Maybe someone from management can chime in here?

some of the rewards and the exp of the old quests were adjusted iirc

Can you tell us which quests?

Pretty sure it's the vendors in Northern Janost Forest {Rhanka Village) I don't know what "set they sell, but it is level 60 gear.

Simply that it's not as much fun as questing. Sometimes I will be grinding in TOS for xp and level 100 blue and green gear (tier stone mats). I will tell myself that I will stay for two hours but give up after one. Sometimes I only make a couple runs and say, never mind. It's just not as interesting as questing, even if I've run six or eight toons through the same quests.

When you compare the current Taborea world map to previous versions, it is clear that Runewaker made room in the middle of the map for a new continent. They did that just a few moths before they burdened us with the peak system. If you open up a level 100 character's class list, it still shows how much XP is needed to reach level 101, even at Peak 20. I don't see a problem with "rewarding" people for getting to 20 by creating a new set of zones that allow you to level up your skills. A few skills could be limited to 100, just as a few are now limited to 50. THese new zones would only be available to peak 20 characters, giving folks motivation to push through the massive grind to get there.

Just an idea. IT would of course require either Runewaker getting motivated or taking over development, tech support, and maintenance by Gameforge. GF is at a disadvantage as a publisher only. It puts them at a disadvantage compared to companies that both develop and publish their own games.

I have started it myself but questing bores me out easily.

Just as a counterpoint- I started playing specifically for questing, but now after 15years I can't really advance my toons' gear doing that, so grinding and ini's is the only thing left, and i struggle to keep myself engaged.

Let me offer an example to help clarify this. My main is a peak 20 dwarf with all six classes at level 100. Only champion and rogue have maxed out all the skills for the class, including all possible elite skills. My champion has an additional 464,211,418 TP as a result of grinding TOS for gear to make tier stones. I can't use that extra TP for anything.

A "class TP transfer stone" would allow some of those points to me moved to another class. If I set my primary/secondary to C/WL and bought a "100k class transfer stone" for 25 diamonds and left-clicked the stone in my IS backpack, it would take 100k TP from the primary(champ) and move it to the secondary(warlock). Then I could use that TP on the WL to level up those skills.

For 40 diamonds, I could buy from the IS a stone that takes the 100k TP from the primary, in this case, my champion, and free it up to mail it to one of my alts or to another player. I would also be able to put that 100k TP in the AH just like any other TP stone.

If Gameforge felt that an extra 10 or 20% premium in the form of addition TP that just vanishes, I would be fine with that.

Certain restrictions would have to apply. IT would only be available at P20. All skills on the donor class or character would have to maxed out.

Ther are at least 2 ways to get a free 65% buff mount. During The anniversary event you can collect stuff for and NPC outside the Varanas bridge and exchange for a ostrich mount. Get the correct 3 ostriches and exchange them for a two rider hippogriff. Collect all 12 zodiac dracos of the same level (newborn, adult or legendary) and trade them for a mount.

There are some other dailies like this as well. The one that comes to mind is the first quest after you leave Chrysallia. It becomes a daily after completion and if you gather more than the required number, you lose them all. Pretty sure it's intentional.

Worse still, until recently there were a lot of mounts available to "mount collectors" who would spend diamonds (read real cash) for them. There were also festival mounts and monthly mounts. There was a post last year by a collector who stated there were only 90 mount slots in the companion bag and there were so many more he wanted to buy. Seems GF has cut off their nose to spite their face. Overall, it seems like a dumb idea for a game publisher that is trying to monetize the game.

And what happened to all the pets in the IS? My main has 9 item shop pets that all give a different xp and/or tp buff. Now there are only three xp/tp buffs available from the IS pets. More money lost by GF. Makes no sense.

You have reached Peak 20. You have maxed out all your skills. You keep running instances and farming gear. Your TP keeps piling up, sitting uselessly on your primary class.

It would be nice to have a way to do something with it. I suggest a Skill Transfer Stone. two would be even nicer- a less expensive "bound" stone that lets you move some of your TP to other classes on the same character and a more expensive "unbound" stone that you can send to other characters or even put in the Auction House. Diamonds spent on these stones by players would benefit Gameforge's bottom line and the stones themselves would help players.

To simplify this a little- There are two types of quests- Main quest line and "local" In your quest log, some will be listed by the zone they are in. These are the "local" quests. The main quest line quests will be listed by the name of the quest line. They usually only show one quest at a time in that line. These are the ones that yield the blue gear sets.

I just started a new character to see what you might have missed. The first message says, "This is your only chance..." Click NO and it will ask you if you want to stay where you are or go to the CoO. Choose CoO.

It sounds like you made the wrong choice at the start. Do NOT select the tutorial.

I have gamefoge set to "run as administrator" and have never seen this message. Try that and try turning your PC off for 20 seconds then restarting.

There's a masked ball?

I have accepted the frog potion from Flogg Shuiss and used it to turn into a frog for 30 minutes. All I can gett the magic frogs to say is "Ribbit, ribbit. I have no dialog box popping up. I have done this free mount thing in years past and was able to either compliment or insult the frogs to get the tears and appreciation, but not now. Am I missing something or is it bugged?

Nope. Cannot be done. You can get higher level toons to drag you through, but for instances like Cyclops Lair, it will affect the drops. You can legitimately craft great level fifty gear to solo level 35 and 40 instances, but it would take a small group of people at that level and equally equipped to get the gear drops. There is a great set of orange level 50 chain and plate gear that can be obtained from Scion Locface in the tower of wailing wind. Anselve drops cloth level 45. She is spawned by killing the winter spiders in Ystra. Aisha drops healer cloth and leather. Worr Binpike drops weapons. In Mystic Alter there are level 43 blue sets that work well. Ruins of the Ice Dwarf Kingdom at level 50 will give accessories and weapons with level appropriate yellow stats(level 5). There are several others you can research using the "Dungeon Loots" add-on.

Maybe you can join a large guild and see if some of them might be willing to take on the challenge. The current sate of the endgame is just running instances and building gear. Someone might be bored enough to join you.
