<br />
Ever since we announced Vindictus, many players have been looking forward to the day when we would introduce Evie. Well, that day has arrived! Beginning October 27, Evie is now the third selectable mercenary in Vindictus!<br />
<br />
As our way of welcoming Evie to the battle, we are introducing a special event for all players who use Evie. From October 27 through November 9, all Evie characters who reach level 15 or higher will receive a Free Hair Trade Coupon (30 Days) following the scheduled maintenance on November 9!<br />
<br />
Here’s a bit on Evie’s background:<br />
<br />
Evie is a powerful magician who supports her allies with both her spells and alchemical abilities. Wielding a staff, she summons golems, revives allies, and uses ancient magic to perform devastating attacks. While her cloth and light armor prevent her from handling enemies up close, it would be difficult to call such a masterful magician anything but a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. <br />
Not much is known about Evie’s past. While it seems clear that she’s from the East, this evasive young woman tends to smile and deftly dodge any questions about her history. An elegant enigma, Evie chooses to express herself entirely in combat.<br />
<br />
A few of Evie’s skills:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Firebolt<br />
<br />
Evie shoots a bolt of fire from her magic-infused staff. Mana must be gathered for a very long time first, so plan carefully. This spell has a very slow firing speed and range, but the damage caused is incredible.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Alchemy: Create Golem<br />
<br />
Golems attack enemies for a fixed period of time. Be careful, as Evie takes damage when her Golem is attacked. If Evie becomes incapacitated, her Golem dies.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Healing<br />
<br />
Evie can restore a party member’s HP. To use this spell, Evie must have a Healing Rune assigned to a Quickslot. Evie can select the party member to heal by pressing [ALT] with a number key or by choosing from the party window.<br />
<br />
Be sure to check out all of Evie's awesome skills and spells and don't forget to participate in our special Evie event!<br />

<br />
The Vindictus team is proud to announce that the Vindictus Open Beta is now live! Now, all players in the Continental US and Canada will have the opportunity to join the battle against the Fomors and Early Access Beta testers will be able to keep thier characters along with any leveling, skills, items and gold they have acquired!<br />
<br />
Additionally, players who participated in our original Closed Beta will receive a special "Early Bird" title.<br />
<br />
To begin playing Vindictus, click here.<br />
<br />
While you're in the game, be sure to check out our special Gnoll Chieftain Hood event. You can read the details about the event here.<br />
<br />
Here’s a look at some of the new features we've added in Open Beta:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
AINLE<br />
Players will enjoy new challenges, new rewards and some of the scariest mobs and bosses they’ve ever seen in our new town Ainle, accessible from the boat on dock three.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
“Something bad has happened in Ainle. Citizens flee from the once idyllic town with grim faces and haunted eyes. The Royal Army has shut the town gates and quarantined the area. Did the Fomors finally attack a human settlement? Perhaps, but there are whispers that something more sinister happened. Whispers from terrified refugees speak of dark magics and arcane horrors. Ainle needs heroes before what happened there spreads toward Colhen.” <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
CUSTOMIZATION<br />
Players will enjoy hot new character customization options including a dye shop and an Avatar shop with cool new hairstyles and facial features!<br />
<br />
Get all of the in-game items you need from the Supply Depot!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
FISHING<br />
Need a break from battle? Head over to the fishing dock and try to catch a big one! Fishing is a fun change of pace where players can take on new side quests without the danger of getting attacked by gnolls.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
ITEM ENHANCEMENT<br />
Strengthen your weapons and armor using Enhancement Stones!<br />
<br />
GUILDS<br />
Team up with your friends, or make new friends, by creating or joining a guild.<br />
<br />
LEVEL CAP<br />
The level cap will be raised from 26 to 38. You’ll need that extra strength as the battle gets tougher!<br />
<br />
…and more!<br />
<br />
You can always learn about the latest Vindictus news by reading the Mercenary Report located on the message boards next to the Forge and near the Docks.<br />
<br />
Whether you are a first-time player or someone who has been around since Closed Beta, we hope you’ll enjoy the Open Beta and all of the new content!<br />

At that time, all players in the Continental US and Canada will have the opportunity to join the battle against the Fomors, and Early Access Beta testers will be able to keep their characters along with any leveling, skills, items and gold they have acquired!<br />
<br />
In order to prepare for the Open Beta, we will be closing down the service during our scheduled maintenance on October 5 at 10:00pm (Pacific)/ 1:00am (Eastern). Ending Early Access a little sooner than expected will allow us to address issues that have arisen during testing.<br />
<br />
On behalf of the entire Vindictus team, we’d like to thank everyone who participated in the Vindictus Early Access Beta. We also appreciate your patience and good humor as we work out some of the technical difficulties we’re currently experiencing. The good news is that we’ve learned a lot from the Early Access Beta, enough that we’re ready to move on to the next step!<br />
<br />

I believe it is dead now, as the creator of the popular thread started to drift away with the many responses. <br />
I would like to take up the position of Unofficial "Will Vindictus Run on YOUR Computer" Person.<br />
<br />
What does this mean? It means that if you're a potential Vindictus player, or one of your friends, or you'd like to play on another computer? Don't waste time and space looking to figure out if it works, why it does/doesn't work, and how you can improve by downloading it yourself.<br />
<br />
Send an email to me at <a href="mailto:vindictusguide@gmail.com">vindictusguide@gmail.com</a> with your specs.<br />
<br />
A good way to find out your specs is: (Explained in Video Below!)<br />
<object width="500" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rd8Ty1SfHy0?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rd8Ty1SfHy0?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="405"></embed></object><br />
<br />
<strong>NOTE: If you can help with looking at the specs and knowing why/why not, please send me an email and I'll split you some of the work, depending on how much time you have/how much you'd like to help! Thanks!</strong><br />

Here it is:<br />
Taken from CrimBlizer on Vindictus HQ<br />
<br />
Since I haven't seen any info about cash shop items on any site I decided to do some research on my own.<br />
I'm pretty sure I'm not only one who is interested about this info.<br />
<br />
The info is taken from Korean Vindictus (Mabinogi Heroes) so it may not be accurate with NA version.<br />
As I don't speak korean I have used google to translate the descriptions.<br />
And I admit it's not pretty but I think it's good enough.<br />

<br />
<blockquote>VINDICTUS EARLY ACCESS BETA IS LIVE!<br />
<br />
Vindictus v1.03 Update for Early Access <br />
<br />
Marketplace<br />
The Marketplace is a new game system to help buy and sell items in-game.<br />
Use the Marketplace to sell surplus loot or search for items which you need.<br />
Located between the entrance to the Forge and the Docks, the Marketplace can be accessed by walking up to the board with the pigs underneath it. (See Below)<br />
<br />
Click here for more information regarding the Marketplace<br />
<br />
<br />
Character Levels<br />
Character levels have been doubled and the leveling curve has been edited. Characters will level up twice as quickly as in Closed Beta. This also increases the level cap from 13 to 26.<br />
Various in-game systems have been updated to reflect the new level distributions.<br />
Level requirements to access quests, equipment and skills have been updated to reflect this change.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ability Points<br />
The Ability Points (AP) limit has been raised from 50 to 100.<br />
Characters will now be able to hold more AP to distribute to their skills.<br />
This does not have an effect on the amount of AP needed to level up a character's skills.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Level Up Gift<br />
Newly created characters will receive a "Level Up Gift" from Tieve.<br />
This gift can be opened multiple times, provided a character reaches the appropriate levels. Characters will receive a new unique item(s) each time the gift is opened.<br />
The first time a character can open a Level Up Gift is at Level 2. The second time the gift can be opened is at Level 5.<br />
Continue leveling to unlock Level Up Gifts at higher levels.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
UI Changes<br />
Markers to indicate the progress of quests have been updated. They can be located on top of building entrances and above NPC portraits.<br />
<br />
New Quest or New Information About a Quest.<br />
<br />
Continuation of Quest in Progress.<br />
<br />
Completion of Quest in Progress<br />
<br />
Emotes<br />
Characters can now use emotes while in town. To use emotes, press the F5-F11 keys.<br />
Players will notice a bonfire near the docks. Press the "grab" button when near a log or rock to sit by the fire and tell tales of great adventure.<br />
<br />
Shop on Boats<br />
A shop has been added to the boats. Go to the owl found near the dock next to the boat to puchase supplies.<br />
Various items can be purchased from this shop, cutting down on travel time to town when running low on supplies.<br />
<br />
Character Creation<br />
The character creation process has been updated with new choices for hairstyle and colors.<br />
<br />
Bug Fixes<br />
Age restrictions preventing players from entering the game have been removed.<br />
Profanity filters have been updated.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Vindictus Team-</blockquote><br />
It's all interesting, and great. But I'm afraid I will NOT be able to play with you guys! My laptop charger (where I play Vindictus, this is a 2005 computer, that will never be able to run Vindictus) is only working if you push really hard, and hold your hand there, meaning I'd only have one hand to play and the computer could shut off at any second without notice.<br />
<br />
So, I have quit Vindictus. I don't know if it will be until it is fixed or until I get a new computer, or if I will quit for good, but I know I can not play for a long time.<br />
<br />
So, here's a little poll for the continuation of the blog:<br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" width="452" height="357" src="http://vindictusguide.questionform.com/embed/Keep-The-Blog"><br />
<a href="http://vindictusguide.questionform.com/public/Keep-The-Blog"> http://vindictusguide.questionform.com/public/Keep-The-Blog </a><br />
</iframe><br />
<br />
Answer the question, and I'll see the results in a few days, and we'll see what happens.<br />
<br />
Thanks for Reading!<br />

Sadly, I only have two.<br />
Nexon still has given me no word.<br />
<br />
So, I am depending on my small community here to pitch in for the good of Vindictus.<br />
<br />
My request is for people to send in their beta keys, and this time, there will not be a contest on MY PART. This time, if you have a Twitter or a YouTube, you can have a contest for your extra beta keys through there.<br />
<br />
All you have to do is email me your code, and request what you want.<br />
<br />
If you do not trust me with your code, I am sorry. But I do believe those of you who had gotten a key early on through me will trust me.<br />
<br />
Thanks for any cooperation.<br />

Extended (but larger) CLOSED BETA!Just found this on the website today!<br />
<br />
<blockquote>The next phase of the Vindictus beta is set to begin. For battle-ready players who fought their way through the Closed beta though, they and their select friends will be able to get early access starting September 15, 2010! </blockquote><br />
<blockquote>Players participating in the Vindictus Early Access Beta will receive two extra codes to invite their friends into the Beta. Even better, everyone who participates in the Early Access Beta be able to level up characters, collect loot, slash monsters, and save all their progress for when the game goes live. You heard right! All characters created in the Early Access period and later beta phases will be kept and carried into the live launch of the game!<br />
<br />
- Vindictus Staff -<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
That means IGN's post (read all about it <a href="http://vindictusonline.blogspot.com/2010/09/vindictus-next-beta-set-to-start-this.html">here)</a> was right!<br />
I will be giving out my two beta keys as a random contest, in case you have two extra friends looking for keys, send them here!<br />
(Soon to come though!)<br />
<br />
What do I think? NEXON HATES ME!<br />
They tell me nothing, just because I'm a full-on Vindictus blog. <br />
<br />
Rude. Enough said.<br />

<em>Thanks to Kevon Spence for the link! I can't believe I didn't see it before!</em><br />
<br />
Here's what it says on the IGN website:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Nexon America has announced that the next round of beta for Vindictus will start Sept. 15, giving players a preview of some of the elegantly brutal content that will be revealed at Open Beta. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Battle ready players who fought their way through the previous closed beta will have access to Vindictus and be given two keys to invite their friends. Access keys will also be distributed through various media outlets, bringing more warriors into a world where they can experience the exciting spear-throwing, environment-shattering, fomor-killing fun that is Vindictus. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Players participating in Early Access to Open Beta will be able to level up their character, collect loot, slash monsters and save all progress when the game goes live. Unlike Closed Beta, all characters created in the early access period and later beta phases will be kept and carried into the live launch of the game. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Vindictus is scheduled to launch later this year, bringing elegant brutality to the online gaming space with stunning visuals and high-speed combat enabled by a modified Source Engine. To find out more about Vindictus and prepare for early access to the game, visit www.vindictus.com and "Like" www.facebook.com/vindictus</blockquote>Pretty interesting, but one thing I was confused about was whether it is Open Beta, or a wider version of closed beta? That was one thing that they did not clear up. I will update you as soon as there is a clear response to that.<br />
The good thing is that all/most of my current readers had a Closed Beta key? :]! If there is an extended beta, you guys will get access and your characters WILL carry onto live!<br />
<br />
Excited? Confused?

<br />
<blockquote>After the end of Closed Beta, Jaeho Hwang, Vindictus producer, paid a visit to devCat’s studio in Seoul, Korea. The purpose of the trip was to discuss specific issues that arose during the Closed Beta test and plan out future North American-specific content for Vindictus. It was also a chance to eat some really good Korean barbecue, and hang out with the Korean development team.</blockquote><br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
Here is a peek inside the devCat studio. Like most dev studios, it’ll never win any awards for neatness and smells a bit like Mountain Dew and Red Bull. However, it is jam-packed with fun and creative elements to keep the developers motivated. For example, who wouldn’t be motivated by this creepy mask?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Extremely creepy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
DevCat keeps inspirational mottos up on the wall. These signs say, "Let’s create the greatest ’MMO+ACTION’ game in the world!" and "Make our gamers proud to play devCat games!" Great mottos!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On the right, we see the man behind "Brutal Elegance." That’s Director Eunseok Yi holding the shield. As the creator of Vindictus and a former Art Director for Mabinogi, he is regarded as one of the best game developers in Korea. Those of you who played in the Closed Beta may also recognize the "Finish" pillow Jaeho’s holding. Kicking him while he’s holding that will not release an evil core full of loot. It will however, occasionally get Jaeho to pick up the check at lunch.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
These lovely ladies are graphic designers at devCat. Not only are they lovely, they are incredibly talented artists who design the beautiful world of Vindictus. While not a typical part of the day, we asked them to don Vindictus props to show off on the dev blog. Thanks guys!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There were tons of issues to discuss after the Closed Beta. Bringing a game into a new market is never as simple as merely translating the text. The team had to discuss how to improve the North American version based on all the feedback provided by our Closed Beta testers. Another topic discussed was how to balance upcoming content and events. It can be pretty exhausting at the end of day-long meetings, but it was definitely worth it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
After working hard all day, the team went out to refill their HP. On the menu was cow intestines. It has a very unique and chewy texture and many Koreans aren’t fond of it. But, our team is fearless (and a little bit crazy). Besides, a hearty appetite helps fight the Fomors!<br />
<br />
Those are just a few of the highlights from Jaeho’s fun and productive trip to devCat’s studio. Soon, our players will get a chance to see for themselves the result of all the hard work the team has been putting in since the end of Closed Beta! We’ll see you in the next beta phase!<br />
<br />

<br />
What is my response to this?<br />
<br />
1. Nexon spends their money on plane trips.<br />
2. devCat doesn't work, they just drink.<br />
3. devCat has no motivation to make games...?<br />
4. devCat sleeps on "Finish" pillows.<br />
5. I need to buy a Finish pillow.<br />
6. Nexon's producers flirth with asian graphic designers.<br />
7. Nexon is daring enough to eat cow intestines, but not even close to daring enough to actually listen.<br />
8. Nexon lies.<br />
<br />
What is your response to this?

And, I have now verified that <strong>no one knows when Open Beta will come out.</strong><br />
<br />
It turns out that everyone thought that Nexon said it, and then other people thought Nexon said it, as it came to me. Though, I do wish I could've screenshotted it (I believe it was on FaceBook where they stated that) to show you and Nexon.<br />
<br />
<strong>In conclusion, keep updated.</strong><br />
<br />
<u>What do YOU think? Do you remember the announcement on Facebook, for from a trusted source? What is your prediction date.</u><strong> </strong><br />

There are a lot of things that you will get stuck on along the way! I suggest, bookmark this page and come back to it before you do any of these things; If you already did them and failed, read this before you try again!:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>Buy New Secondary Weapons</li>
<li>Go do Hoarfrost Hollows</li>
<li>Make a Fiona/Do Another Dungeon with Fiona</li>
<li>Try to grab an enemy again! </li>
<li>Go do the Perilous Ruins quest!</li>
<li>Do Another Dungeon with Lann </li>
</ul>This is going to be a HUGE post. I'm going to post some links instead of pasting the guide onto the post because it just looks a lot better on that page, and there are some parts of it, I can't embed.<br />
<i>I have not been playing Vindictus much the past two days, due to other things that are important. </i><br />

<br />
<blockquote><i>Reposting this as a new topic on Brad's request.<br />
<br />
I don't even have full BP on most of these, but I should know enough to help get enough BP for the whole mission line. Token restrictions makes it hard for me to really give a complete guide for a lot of these. Though as of the beta, if you fail a mission the tokens don't get used up.<br />
<br />
Note that this guide is written by someone playing as Fiona, I tried to avoid talk about blocking but if you Lann players have something to add, feel free to do so. I also will not do a walkthrough of the whole mission as you should be able to beat that yourself.<br />
<br />
What is BP? (Copy pasted from the Perilous Ruins thread)<br />
Battle Points (or Completion Points) are points awarded for doing various things in a mission. Most quests require a certain ammount of BP (usually 100-160 BP) on previous battles to do them. BP is obtained in 3 different ways. <br />
<br />
Mission<br />
The base BP, you just need to clear the battle.<br />
<br />
Bonus Missions<br />
Bonus missions usually involve killing enemies in certain ways, finding items, or not letting your equipment break. Most of these are easy, except finding items is probably the hardest type as they are extremely luck based. Completing these also rewards bonus Gold (though usually the ammount is negligable)<br />
<br />
Oaths<br />
Oaths are difficulty modifiers that either prevent you from using items, increase difficulty, or limit your party size. You should usually run with one of these on as they offer good EXP bonuses.<br />
<br />
Note that you cannot use the same Oath twice to gain BP, you must clear the mission with an Oath you have not used yet to gain more BP.<br />
Missions and Oaths are sometimes marked with a (P). This means that it's a running total for the entire party. So, for example, if P1 gets 3/10 kills, P2 gets 2/10, P3 gets 4/10, and P4 gets 1/10, it will get completed for everyone in the party.<br />
<br />
Missions<br />
<br />
Hoarfrost Hollow - Level 5<br />
175 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 35<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 40<br />
Defeat Etunoch with objects (P) (25BP)<br />
It should be only the finishing blow with an object, but the item finish objectives just love to glitch, so you'll need to waste a few tokens for this.<br />
<br />
Obtain 2 Average Kobold Cloth (15BP)<br />
Normal Kobolds and the boss drop these, just hope your luck is good (or bad if you really wanted something else) and run this a few times. One of the least frustrating missions.<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 100<br />
Win within 5 minutes (40BP)<br />
Not hard with a full party, run your way through. Use the spike trap for that small Kobold mob, and don't go for the item kill on the boss.<br />
<br />
Win while playing solo (25BP)<br />
Still not to hard to solo, but you may want to get better equipment if you're having trouble. Spears again are good, 2 to stun (which is a free combo).<br />
<br />
Win without potions (35BP)<br />
Not hard in a party, just try not to get hit by the spike trap. Instant death is not fun and you pretty much get your armor broken and lose 50% HP upon revival.<br />
<br />
Western Ice Passage - Level 6<br />
150 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 25<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 45<br />
Defeat Eflame (P) (20BP)<br />
I have actually NEVER run into Eflame (wisp miniboss) while running this level. Really I either have to assume my luck is horrible or it's tucked in some random corner. <br />
<br />
Obtain Slingshot Grenade (15BP)<br />
This is a boss drop, it's only called Slingshot. Really it is sort of rare and you end up needing 2 total for all your sidequests, so just go for this while doing everything else for this mission.<br />
<br />
Obtain Broken Arrow (10BP)<br />
Archer Kobolds, pretty much all there is to say about this.<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 80<br />
Win while playing solo (20BP)<br />
Again, pretty easy solo. The boss is quite a bit more annoying as he'll always be targeting you, just get around his shots and poke him a few times. Again, spears are great solo tools.<br />
<br />
Equipment destroyed <10 times (P) (30BP)<br />
Don't get hit and you'll be fine. Even then, if you solo this, you'll have a really easy time doing this as well. Too bad we can't use two oaths at once.<br />
<br />
Win without using feathers (30BP)<br />
Really this level has no instant death gimmicks and the boss is easy in a party, so this is a pretty safe bet.<br />
<br />
Southern Rock Cliff - Level 6<br />
200 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 40<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 80<br />
Obtain Copper Ore (25BP)<br />
Bring mining bombs, there's a mining spot near the Erg pot in the 2nd area and there's one hidden under a building in the boss area. Doing this in a party makes some of the ores your party's, but do it enough and you'll find some. You probably should do this either way as Copper is needed for a lot of good crafting.<br />
<br />
Obtain Kobold Battleaxe (20BP)<br />
I do believe this is a drop off the boss. Running it for the oaths and missions should get you this.<br />
<br />
Defeat Speedy Ekuloch (P) (35BP)<br />
Now this is annoying, Speedy Ekuloch is the miniboss for this level. After taking a bit of damage a notice saying "Speedy Ekuloch is attempting to escape" or something like that will appear. If you don't stun/trip him before he backflips, waves, and dissapears, you lose. Now normally tripping is a good option, but not here. Kobolds have tiny legs so it's hard for you to hit them on the fly. What you should do instead is bring spears, and just spam spears the instant the notice comes up. He should be stunned in one spear hit, so you can easily just lock him up with them. Note that this one will not stop trying to escape once he starts.<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 80<br />
Win within 6 min (45BP)<br />
Run, actually let Speedy Ekuloch get away as that saves time, and use spears or a hook to stun lock the boss.<br />
<br />
Incapacitated <3 Times (35BP)<br />
That's less than 3, not a heart. Anyways, just run as normal and you should be fine. This isn't a very hard level either so really, it's a safe bet.<br />
<br />
Another Slingshot - Level 7<br />
170 BP<br />
<br />
Little note here, you get this by completing Riely's (I think that's his name) slingshot request. He'll ask for more and you'll unlock this along with Final Slingshot. <br />
<br />
Mission BP - 25<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 70<br />
Obtain Modified Slingshot Grenade (15BP)<br />
Item name is just Modified Slingshot. The boss is a double boss, this is dropped by Brother Ebeloch. It's a pretty rare drop, but feel free to skip this as the next mission in this line (Final Slingshot) features Brother Ebeloch as well, so you can get a Modified Slingshot.<br />
<br />
Defeath Elfame with a spear (P) (35BP)<br />
Elfame seems to appear more often in this mission, it moves a lot more so spearing it can be a problem. Just hope you hit and you should be fine.<br />
<br />
Equipment destroyed <5 times (20BP)<br />
If you don't repair/repair enough/don't get hit, you'll get this easily. Free 1.1k gold!<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 75<br />
Win while playing solo (25BP)<br />
Haven't done this yet, the double boss will probably be a pain solo, but you should be fine if you take your time and save your spears.<br />
<br />
Season of Macha (difficulty up) (30BP)<br />
Turn it down to Normal if you have to and get a full party, it should be easy enough.<br />
<br />
Win without repairing armor (20BP)<br />
With the bonus mission, you should be doing this.<br />
<br />
Fomorian Order - Level 8<br />
155 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 25<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 50<br />
Defeat Fake Ekuloch (P) (15BP)<br />
&<br />
Defeat Both Fake Ekuloch (P) (25BP)<br />
These both are the same thing, there are 2 Speedy Ekulochs here so use the same strategy as in Western Ice Passage and you should get these easily. Only difference here is that it takes 2 spears to stun and they don't constantly attempt to escape.<br />
<br />
Obtain Kobold Horn Decoration (10BP)<br />
This should be dropped by the boss (and maybe the Fake Ekulochs), so just hope for the best (as per usual).<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 100<br />
Win within 10 min (20BP)<br />
Haven't done this yet, but it sounds sort of hard. I'd let both Fakes get away to save time and just run through the whole level as you usually should. Save all your spears for the boss as it is a pretty annoying one to get in on.<br />
<br />
Win without Pheonix Feathers (25BP)<br />
Not too hard, just the obvious "don't get hit" stuff. Try not to fall off the bridges as well, you shouldn't even take those since the Kobolds always cut them down.<br />
<br />
Win with 2 or fewer players (35BP)<br />
Go for the 2 player rush, feel free to skip the Fakes as well. Not too hard otherwise.<br />
<br />
Final Slingshot - Level 8<br />
165 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 35<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 45<br />
Obtain Upgraded Slingshot Grenade (15BP)<br />
It's all drop luck again (and again, the item is just Upgraded Slingshot), this comes from Big Brother in the Ebeloch trio fight. This is a good level to grind for that sidequest as you can get every slingshot from this mission (and I have actually done so).<br />
<br />
Equipment destoryed <5 times (30BP)<br />
You already know what goes here.<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 85<br />
Incapacitated <3 times (20BP)<br />
Not too hard, it can be hard to use a potion with the trio boss, but it can't be THAT hard.<br />
<br />
Win with 2 or fewer players (30BP)<br />
Go with 2 players, and go from weakest to strongest on the boss. That or have one person being cannon fodder while you combo them from behind.<br />
<br />
Season of Macha (difficulty up) (35BP)<br />
No real tactics sides the weakest to strongest on the boss trio. Really if 4 people gang up on the normal Ebeloch, he goes down in less than a minute.<br />
<br />
Brynn's Research - Level 9<br />
160 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 30<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 55<br />
Obtain Hoarfrost Hollow Erg Crystal (15BP)<br />
Oh boy another Erg quest, smash stuff up and hope for the best. You'll probably end up wanting 6 for the Savage Ring anyways.<br />
<br />
Obtain Spider Cave Scroll (20BP)<br />
These are a rare drop by spiders, good luck getting both a core and finding one that gives you the scroll.<br />
<br />
Kill Cave Wisp with small bomb (P) (20BP)<br />
Have someone bring bombs, go to the Erg Pot in the boss area, and chuck one at the 3 wisps. That should kill one and get you the mission.<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 75<br />
Season of Macha (difficulty up) (30BP)<br />
Not too hard. The boss is really predictable with a party. If he drinks a potion and glows orange/red, run away and dodge to the side (he throws the potion pot at you), if he glows green, circle around him as he'll do a spray infront of him. He rarely uses his knife so feel free to ignore that. If you're not his target, just combo him freely.<br />
<br />
Win without secondary weapons (25BP)<br />
Not hard, just can't do the bomb mission here. Use the same tactics as Macha and you'll be fine.<br />
<br />
Win without potions (20BP)<br />
Just do what you did with Macha, really all there is to be said. <br />
<br />
Frost Stones - Level 9<br />
185 BP<br />
<br />
You get this from a Shayla sidequest, it's a good Night Shade and gem farming spot.<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 35<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 95<br />
Defeat Quiremigal with objects (P) (35BP)<br />
Just the finishing blow needs to be with an item, again this tends to glitch as well.<br />
<br />
Obtain 2 Copper Ores (20BP)<br />
Not one but two, the pain. Bring mining bombs and hope for the best. Also hope you face King Icedredge as a miniboss as the blue tentacles (and the miniboss himself) have a chance of dropping copper. The boss also drops these, so it is actually possible to get 2 Coppers off it.<br />
<br />
Obtain Peridot (15BP)<br />
&<br />
Obtain Frost Stone (25BP)<br />
These gems are gotten from King Icedredge and Quiremigal. Really all you can do is run this enough and you'll get it eventually.<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 100<br />
Win without repairing armor (30BP)<br />
The bosses are a pain to get in on, the best you can hope for is to not face King Icedredge.<br />
<br />
Win within 10 min (25BP)<br />
Again, haven't done this. What I can say is run as fast as you can (when don't you?) and hope you don't face King Icedredge.<br />
<br />
Kobold Chief - Level 10<br />
245 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 40<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 85<br />
Obtain Destroyed Spiked Shield (break off) (15BP)<br />
More breaking off fun, this time it's the left arm of the Chief. I believe 3/4 hits will do it. Try to wait until after he's done attacking, or for the more convinient option, have someone run away from him while everyone else lines up their shot. A slow Chief moving in a single predictable direction is an easy Chief to hit.<br />
<br />
Obtain Copper Ore (20BP)<br />
Mining bombs as usual. Pretty much all ores are like this.<br />
<br />
Obtain 2 Remnants (20BP)<br />
Not too bad due to the length of the level, not sure if Elfame is a miniboss here (but if it is, Remnants can easily be gotten from it). Smash everything else up otherwise.<br />
<br />
Equipment destroyed <5 times<br />
Really nothing to say, the boss is hard to beat without at least losing 2 armor parts though.<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 120<br />
Warrior's Challenge (solo mode) (20BP)<br />
The stage is shortened again, 1 area instead of 3. Set up a campfire before you move into the boss area for the stat bonuses and to repair everything, as you don't get any time inside the boss room itself. For the boss, 2 lances to stun. His move set consists of a shoulder thrust, a 2 punch combo (2nd one tracks you a bit), and when he goes and makes a ball, either he'll do a 2 shoulder thrust combo behind him or nothing. Just learn these, be conservative on your combo after dodging, and you should be fine. His 2 punch combo sometimes cuts off and it does inflict the Knife Wound status (instant -300HP pretty much), so avoid that at all costs.<br />
<br />
Win with 2 or fewer players (25BP)<br />
Not that hard, just have one person act as bait while the other combos the Chief to hell from behind. Switch roles when he switches targets. Again, read the moves section about 5 lines above from here and you'll be fine.<br />
<br />
Season of Macha (difficulty up) (40BP)<br />
This can be quite difficult, I actually failed this once as we ran out of feathers. Really the only thing to say is try not to get hit. If you do get hit by him (mainly his 2 hit combo) and get the Knife Wound status, run the hell away. If you need to repair, try not to use a campfire anvil as he tends to automatically switch targets to the person repairing.<br />
<br />
Win within 20 min (35BP)<br />
The boss itself can take several minutes, so this is a tight squeeze. You should have 10 minutes for the boss, who will go down in that time span if you spam spears enough.<br />
<br />
Dethrone the White Tyrant (RAID) - Level 10<br />
140 BP <br />
<br />
Mission BP - 15<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 45<br />
Finish Giant Polar Bear with kicks (P) (10BP)<br />
Just weaken him, and kick him. If he's not stunned but is at low health, wait for him to roar and kick spam him then.<br />
<br />
Defeat Giant Polar Bear with objects (P) (10BP)<br />
This is glitched as well, I did it and didn't get it. Either way, same drill as with kicking, but with an item.<br />
<br />
Obtain Savage Eye (break off) (15BP)<br />
Hardest break off item yet. The eye is that huge red glowing one, can't miss it. Problem is the bear just hates sitting still, your best chance is to have him lunge at you, back off just enough so he misses. After that you'll have a point blank spear throw right into his eye. Other method are just waiting for his 2 swipe combo and hitting him then.<br />
<br />
Equpment destroyed <5 times (10BP)<br />
I get this almost all the time, really you just need to dodge. He has a 180 swipe to clear out people beside and behind him, a backwards jump that lands on anyone behind him. A lunge for distance, 2 swipes which go left than right, get to the side to avoid that. After he roars (2 bars or less), his swipe becomes a triple swipe which tracks and goes literally everywhere.<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 80<br />
Win within 15 min (10BP)<br />
This is not hard at all, the party I had when I did this did it in just over 5 minutes. Spear spam and don't go for the eye.<br />
<br />
Win with 4 or fewer players (15BP)<br />
Still not too hard, learn the move set (under the bonus missions), and you'll get this. Main problem is that it takes longer.<br />
<br />
Win with 2 or fewer players (15BP)<br />
This I can imagine is painful, but doable. It'd take a long time as well. Just spread out, have one act as bait while the other does some combos, and switch when he targets the other person (just like the chief). It takes 4/5 spears (I think) to stun him as well, so ration those.<br />
<br />
Win while playing solo (10BP)<br />
Oh god... I really have no comment for this. Good luck? Really the only thing you can do is poke him while dodging. You do have 2 stuns via spears however, so you get a half bar off for free.<br />
<br />
Season of Macha (difficulty up) (20BP)<br />
See what I said about the equipment destruction. Same tactics apply, don't get hit, and use Fine HP Potions after you do get hit. The bear is too damaging to wait for <400HP to heal.<br />
<br />
Win without Pheonix Feathers (10BP)<br />
Competent party can do this (in a similar style to the within 15 minute one). Spam spears, get in and do an extended combo (4 Normals and a Smash) followed by a short one.<br />
<br />
Prepare for Counterattack - Level 11<br />
275 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 20<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 125<br />
Kill 2 Commanders with objects (P) (15BP)<br />
The commanders are just the bosses (this is a boss rush afterall). I'd do them on the first two as they do get progresively harder. The boss order is Jolly Ebeloch (slingshot one), Speedy Ekuloch (axe one), Robust Echeloch (potion user), and Sturdy Emuloch (Kobold chief).<br />
<br />
Kill 3 Commanders with spears (P) (20BP)<br />
&<br />
Kill 4 Commanders with spears (P) (40BP)<br />
Just save all your spears for finishing them off, and you should get these. Hardest one would be the Chief as he has a huge health bar and it can be hard to get in on him without the spears. <br />
<br />
Obtain 3 Rare Ergs (P) (20BP)<br />
This is a short mission, so hope for some luck in the first area before the boss rush. That and spawn the Wisps near the Erg Pot for some more chances.<br />
<br />
Obtain 8 Iron Ores (P)<br />
Having someone bring mining bombs here is a pain, but it's not too bad if you can beat the bosses without spears. There are 2 or 3 mining spots in the large bridge room and 2 in the boss room. I've already gotten this about 3 times so it's actually quite easy.<br />
<br />
Equipment destroyed <5 times (15BP)<br />
This is actually a decent challenge as this is a heavy combat mission with 4 bosses. Just do well and mob up the first 3 bosses fast enough and you should get this.<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 130<br />
Win within 16 min (20BP)<br />
You need to wait a preset ammount of time through the first 3 bosses anyways, so this boils down to how fast you can kill the Chief. Not sure of the timing frame though.<br />
<br />
Win without repairing armor (20BP)<br />
You'll be repairing armor a lot in this fight, needless to say this is a pretty tough (but one of the more reasonable) oaths.<br />
<br />
Win without potions (25BP)<br />
Well good luck getting through 4 bosses in a row without pots. The only real tip I can give is beat the bosses as fast as you can, then go make a campfire, and heal up between rounds.<br />
<br />
Win with 2 or fewer players (30BP)<br />
I doubt this is impossible, but it's probably very hard. Chances are you won't be fast enough to finish the first boss before the second, the second before the third, and the third before the chief. So if you can deal with the backlog and the Kobold Chief 2 player oath, you can do this.<br />
<br />
Season of Macha (difficulty up) (35BP)<br />
Pretty much if you've played Hard or Macha on previous missions, this one is pretty much the final test. Not too hard in the end, just be ready to use a lot of Fine HP potions.<br />
<br />
Other Tips<br />
Really the best thing I can offer is to use campfires. Replace the stam pots on hotkey 4 with a kit, pop one down before the boss, drag some wood into it, and get the +100 attack bonus.<br />
<br />
Oh, and about campfires. They also give you a armor regeneration bonus. This is crucial to the equipment breaking missions as it extends the life of your armor tenfold. You can spam Counterattack with Fiona and not have your shield die for instance.<br />
<br />
Again, breaking off can be done with spears or a well aimed smash. Mainly for the Kobold Chief here. Smashing him when he's curled up or counters with Fiona will make quick work of the shield.<br />
<br />
You can assign both HP and Fine HP potions onto your hotkeys at the same time, normally I run with Potion/Feather/Repair Kits/Campfire Kit, but if you're running solo, replace the feathers with another set of potions.<br />
<br />
You can cancel repairing your armor with the dodge button, this is good for solo bosses where you only have brief time frames to repair. You'd usually use this is when you break your shield as Fiona.<br />
<br />

Not sure if this will work past cbt though.<br />
Following are copy pasted from the other topic.<br />
<br />
You are allowed feathers in no potion runs, use that to your advantage.<br />
<br />
Moving to the next area automatically revives everyone who is dead, even on a no feather run.<br />
<br />
Playing on hard increases the items the boss drops from 3 to 4. Use Hard if you really are having a hard time with some of the boss drops.<br />
<br />
If you're running low on spears/hooks, you don't need to go back to Merrac. There's a cat to the left of the gate to town that sells most of the secondary weapons.<br />

<b>5. Go Do the Perilous Ruins quest.</b><br />
<br />
Invertex did another guide for Perilous Ruins on the MabiNation forums, and here it is:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><i>Well, thought I might try writing a guide. <br />
Anyways, I assume we already have nearly every quest available in the Perilous Ruins and I'm sure some of us will want to get full BP on every mission.<br />
<br />
Note that this guide is written by someone playing as Fiona, I tried to avoid talk about blocking but if you Lann players have something to add, feel free to do so. I also will not do a walkthrough of the whole mission as you should be able to beat that yourself.<br />
<br />
What is BP?<br />
Battle Points (or Completion Points) are points awarded for doing various things in a mission. Most quests require a certain ammount of BP (usually 100-160 BP) on previous battles to do them. BP is obtained in 3 different ways. <br />
<br />
Mission<br />
The base BP, you just need to clear the battle.<br />
<br />
Bonus Missions<br />
Bonus missions usually involve killing enemies in certain ways, finding items, or not letting your equipment break. Most of these are easy, except finding items is probably the hardest type as they are extremely luck based. Completing these also rewards bonus Gold (though usually the ammount is negligable)<br />
<br />
Oaths<br />
Oaths are difficulty modifiers that either prevent you from using items, increase difficulty, or limit your party size. You should usually run with one of these on as they offer good EXP bonuses.<br />
<br />
Note that you cannot use the same Oath twice to gain BP, you must clear the mission with an Oath you have not used yet to gain more BP.<br />
Missions and Oaths are sometimes marked with a (P). This means that it's a running total for the entire party. So, for example, if P1 gets 3/10 kills, P2 gets 2/10, P3 gets 4/10, and P4 gets 1/10, it will get completed for everyone in the party.<br />
<br />
Missions<br />
<br />
Mercenary Training Site - Level 1<br />
130 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 100<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 30<br />
Defeat a Wood Man using Smash (30BP)<br />
Do a standard combo or just spam the smash button and you'll get this. Really you should have full BP on this on your first run.<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 0<br />
<br />
Formorian Emblem - Level 1<br />
170 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 100<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 25<br />
Obtain Black Gnoll Leather (10BP)<br />
Shadow Fang drops this, really common and you'll probably get it on your first run.<br />
<br />
Obtain Shadow Fang's Helm (15BP)<br />
Again, dropped by Shadow Fang. This is slightly rarer and you may need to run the mission a few times. Thankfully this misison is short so it's not too painful.<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 45<br />
Win with 2 or fewer players (20BP)<br />
You should still be soloing missions at this point so turn this on during your first run, the mission isn't hard.<br />
<br />
Win within 5 min (25BP)<br />
The time restriction Oaths aren't too bad at this point, just run between groups and don't waste time breaking items for Erg Crystals.<br />
<br />
Gold Leather - Level 1<br />
170 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 100<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 25<br />
Obtain Gold Gnoll Leather (10BP)<br />
Dropped by the boss, Embermain. Really common drop and you sort of need 2 (one for Shayla and one for Kristie).<br />
<br />
Obtain Ruins Erg Crystal (15BP)<br />
The missions involving Erg Crystals are the most annoying ones in my opinion. Erg crystals are dropped by destroying the enviroment, so just smash everything up as you go (I'd turn all oaths off for these sorts of runs). The Ruins Erg Crystal is probably one of the rarer drops so that just adds to the frustration.<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 45<br />
Equipment destroyed <5 times (P) (20BP)<br />
To avoid equipment breaking, just don't get hit. Really it's hard to have everything break in a run so you should turn this on for your first run. <br />
<br />
Win within 15 minutes (25BP)<br />
You can do this battle in 5 minutes easily, so just do the usual running and you'll get this done.<br />
<br />
Gwynn's Request - Level 2<br />
170 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 100<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 50<br />
Obtain White Gnoll Leather (10BP)<br />
Gotten off the boss, Foul Snowpaw. All he does is shoot arrows and kick you, so really just stay up on him and roll to dodge the kicks. Constant moving will dodge the arrows. This is a common drop so you will get this done easily.<br />
<br />
Obtain White Gnoll Heart (15BP)<br />
Again, from the boss. This is a fair deal harder to get and may require a few runs. You'll need 2 of them too for Shayla's second quest.<br />
<br />
Obtain Broken Arrow (10BP)<br />
Off the boss, but can also be obtained from cores dropped by archer Gnolls. These are even more common than the leather so you will probably finish this on your first try.<br />
<br />
Obtain Ice Spirit Remnant (15BP)<br />
Off the boss, this is a bit less rare than the heart, but still slightly rare. You could try smashing stuff through the stage to find one as well (but the boss is usually good enough).<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 20<br />
Incapacitated <10 times (20BP)<br />
Don't die, which is pretty simple. Really 10 deaths is a lot of room so this oath should be on every time you run this.<br />
<br />
Wind Through The Ruins - Level 3<br />
190 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 30<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 60<br />
Obtain Mad Grizzle Paw Earrings (15BP)<br />
Dropped from the boss (it has his name in it, what did you expect?). Pretty common (though it may take a few runs to get).<br />
<br />
Obtain 5 Rare Ergs (P) (25BP)<br />
This is is the worst Bonus Mission in the ruins, and the last one I finished. Rare Ergs just means any type of Erg (Life, Eternity, Light, Ruins). Problem is, Ergs are dropped by Wisps and destroying stuff. You have to get really lucky to get enough Ergs by the end of your run in order to finish this. Run solo while you do this so every Erg is yours to take (since I know some people ignore Ergs). Otherwise I can only say smash everything in sight, kill every wisp, and turn all oaths off.<br />
<br />
Equipment Destroyed <5 Times (20BP)<br />
You should get this passively as well, these sort of missions/oaths are never that hard at this point.<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 100<br />
Win within 20 minutes (30BP)<br />
This is really easy if you just keep moving. 15 minutes is about all you should need if you don't waste too much time.<br />
<br />
Win with 3 or fewer players (35BP)<br />
You still should be soloing your battles at this point, so turn this on.<br />
<br />
Season of Macha (Difficulty Up) (35BP)<br />
This pretty much makes Normal into Hard and Hard even harder. If you can't handle Hard/Macha then switch it down and it'll be about the same. This only boosts enemy damage as well, so if you can dodge everything, you're good to go. That and you are allowed to use potions after all.<br />
<br />
Friends? - Level 4<br />
160 BP<br />
<br />
Little preface here, this isn't a mandatory mission and is one for a side quest. Talk to Tieve when you get a quest about it and she'll have you deliver two letters. Just go through that until this battle quest unlocks.<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 70<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 35<br />
Obtain Spiked Gnoll Club (15BP)<br />
This is actually a boss drop, but this boss seems to have a much lower drop chance of this than any other gnoll boss. So you're going need to run this a lot.<br />
<br />
Equipment destroyed <5 times (20BP)<br />
The length of this mission can be a bit daunting, but in a party you should get this easily.<br />
<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 55<br />
Win within 12 minutes (30BP)<br />
This is the first mission I'd say you should take a party with for. The main battle here is 100 Gnolls (in a row, same room) and the boss. So having more people will make this mission easier, and probably possible if you're at the normal level at this point.<br />
<br />
Win without potions (25BP)<br />
This is harder than it seems, due to the fighting oriented nature of this level. I'd say revisit this later. Or if you want, get in a full party, and do it.<br />
<br />
Decisive Battle - Level 5<br />
215 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 30<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 75<br />
Defeat Bryialne wish a spear (P) (15BP)<br />
This mission is a pain as the mission has 3 randomized maps, with the 3rd having a miniboss. Problem is half the time you'll get Mad Grizzlepaw instead of Bryianle and you won't be able to get this. I found Warrior's Challenge is good for this as it reduces it to 1 randomized map which will have the miniboss, if it's not the right map you can just restart right away. Also the other problem is the fact that people in parties tend to carry hooks to trip the boss instead of spears. Also, you don't only have to use the spear, weaken it to a low health and start throwing.<br />
<br />
Win with 2 Lv. 5 players (P) (20BP)<br />
If you get into a party when you're Lv. 5 and get another Lv. 5, you should be set for this. If you're already past that and don't have this, just spam on Ch. 1 and pray some low levels need this.<br />
<br />
Finish Gnoll Chieftan with kicks (P) (15BP)<br />
R button is the kick button in case you don't know. Just hack him up to his last health bar and start kicking when he's really low on HP. This is usually how you finish these types of missions.<br />
<br />
Obtain Rage Helmet (break off) (15BP)<br />
Break off drops are from hitting a certain area of the boss enough for something to fall off. The target here is the Chieftan's helmet. You'll need a spear user (nice to pair this up with Bryialne). Hitting the Chieftan when he's "down" does not count for this, however hitting him when he's tired at 1 bar left will still count. Also note you have to hit him in the head twice to get it. After that a item will appear labeled as a (?), after the boss dies, go pick it up.<br />
<br />
Obtain 2 Remnants (P) (10BP)<br />
Normally I hate these missions, but this level is so long that you're probably going to get this (especially if you're one of those Crimson Rage lovers and need more red leather).<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 110<br />
Warrior's Challenge (solo mode) (25BP)<br />
Oh boy, Warrior's Challenge. The length is reduced to 1 map and then the boss, but this is still a pain. Most of the level is easy enough, but the Chieftan on solo requires different tactics than in a party (aka no hook trip locking). If you're still level 5, just run with this on. Spam the free revives and get this over with. Anyways, bring spears and don't use any of them (except maybe one for Bryialne). 2 spears will stun him so you can unleash a combo on him before rolling off. His kick leaves an openning for a short combo (2 attacks and then a smash) and if he lifts his hammer back, get the hell away from him. After he's down to his last bar, sometimes he'll get tired and that's your chance for a free combo.<br />
<br />
Win with 2 or fewer players (30BP)<br />
Full length level, with 2 people. Just do the same things as you did solo (as hooks are nowhere near as effective with a small group). Or if you're still Lv. 5, free revive spam now.<br />
<br />
Season of Macha (difficulty up) (35BP)<br />
Not too hard if you're in a good full party. Just do the usual and heal after taking one or two hits. Do note that his spin attack on Hard/Macha is usually a OHKO.<br />
<br />
Win within 13 minutes (20BP)<br />
This is hard, not going to lie. You need a full party of 4, all with hooks, and all ready to run like hell.<br />
The first 3 areas should be done extremely quickly and all item drops should be ignored (except maybe remnants). If you get lucky you may not get a miniboss and you'll get shorter areas for the 3 random maps. You should have 6-5 minutes left for the boss. Just have a designated order for people to launch hooks and trip the Chieftan up while everyone else just combos him. If you have a good party, he should get tripped, get up, get tripped the instant his animation is complete, and he shouldn't be upright until 1-3 bars left. <br />
<br />
Revenge - Level 5<br />
215 BP<br />
<br />
Mission BP - 40<br />
<br />
Total Bonus Mission BP - 70<br />
Defeat 10 gnolls with objects (P) (10BP)<br />
You only need to finish them with objects, so slash a few times, pick an item up, and whack them in the head.<br />
<br />
Win with 2 players under Lv. 6 (P) (20BP)<br />
Same thing should be said as with Decisive. Just join some lower levels or be the level yourself.<br />
<br />
Obtain 3 Rare Ergs (solo) (15BP)<br />
3 ergs isn't too bad considering the length of the level, just run the mission by yourself and smash everything until you finish this. Also, Bryialne is a possible miniboss in this level (other one is an Embermian/Shadow Fang double fight), so if you fight it, you've got anywhere from 1-3 ergs done at that point.<br />
<br />
Defeat 3 Wisps with spears (P) (25BP)<br />
Just go near the Erg pots to spawn some, spear them (OHKO), and kill anything near Bryialne if you get it. Not too hard (you just need spears).<br />
<br />
Total Oath BP - 105<br />
Win within 12 minutes (25BP)<br />
Nowhere near as hard as Decisive's, but I'd still go for a party of 4 and running a similar tactic on the boss. Also note that I'd go for the melee one first. The ranged one has horrible aim and is a minimal threat.<br />
<br />
Win without Pheonix Feathers (25BP)<br />
In a party this may be hard with the length. Heal often, run away when hurt.<br />
<br />
Win with 2 or fewer players (20BP)<br />
I'd go with 2 as the boss is still a double boss. Spears and hooks are about the same here (it still is 2 spears for a stun). Go for Wolf Tail (the melee one first). He has 2 moves, a standard smash move and his dash, roll to the sides to dodge either. Jagged Tooth has a normal shot, a charge shot, a kick, and his dash. Really all of them are dodged by rolling to the side. The charge shot does do high damage so try and avoid it. If you're targeted by Jagged Tooth, the other player is free to combo him while he aims for you. Note that the dash will hit anyone around the Gnoll as they start it.<br />
<br />
Season of Macha (difficulty up) (35BP)<br />
Not really much to say, same tactics as always. You just need a smart enough party and enough hooks.<br />
<br />
Other Tips<br />
You are allowed feathers in no potion runs, use that to your advantage.<br />
<br />
Moving to the next area automatically revives everyone who is dead, even on a no feather run.<br />
<br />
Most of the gnoll bosses have the same moveset. They can do a swing (dodge by rolling), go down and either swing once or swing, followed by a spin. Dodge this by staying away. Mad Girzzlepaw also has a flying lunge attack which he uses when you run away, roll to the sides as usual.<br />
<br />
Abuse the free revives if you can.<br />
<br />
Playing on hard increases the items the boss drops from 3 to 4. Use Hard if you really are having a hard time with some of the boss drops.<br />
<br />
If you're running low on spears/hooks, you don't need to go back to Merrac. There's a cat to the left of the gate to town that sells most of the secondary weapons.<br />
<br />
You can always come back later, being overleveled makes everything easy.<br />
<br />
Breaking off can be done with spears or a well aimed smash. You can knock the Gnoll Chieftan's helmet off with a Combo 2 from Fiona when he's "tired".<br />

Intro<br />
1<br />
Lann the first male character of vindictus is a melee based high speed attacker,forgoing a shield for a set of duel blades his speed attacks are meant to hit the enemy fast and hard.<br />
Instead of a defense based character like Fiona where she blocks then counter attacks. Lann is about doing quick chained combos and then dodging out of the way before the monster has a chance to hit you.<br />
<br />
<br />
For the sake of not to confuse people I will refer to combos by their wiki names along with combo 1,2,3 etc as to make it easier for non cb players,which a link to where be found at the bottom along with credits.<br />
Smash Combos<br />
A brief overview of smash combos for dual sword lann. These Examples are taken off youtube and the wiki they are not mine. 1<br />
Combo #1/gut stinger-The basic smash just press your smash button once for this one. You simply do a strong forward stab. Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW2ms...layer_embedded<br />
<br />
Combo #2/Rising Crescent - Basic upper cut preformed by doing one attack and then smashing.<br />
Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1Ki8...layer_embedded<br />
<br />
Combo #3Bare Blowers -You basically slide and put together your swords and impale the enemy with the blunt end of your hilts after a few slashes. This one is two basic attacks then a smash attack. Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHHc4...layer_embedded<br />
<br />
Combo #4 Twin Edge 450 -After you do three normal attacks and then press smash you do this combo. Lann basically does 2 windmills with your swords in a spining motion that has a wide attack range. <br />
Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK3hd...layer_embedded<br />
<br />
Skills overview and what to rank<br />
3A<br />
Thousand Needle - Your staple combo finisher- skill book from Marrec after the first few beginner quests. This skill is treated like another smash combo. After doing four normal attacks Lann will start to multi-stab his two swords and will start to use stamina as he does so. After you start stabbing at any time you may end the combo by pressing your smash key and Lann will do a wide range x cross slash. The more multi stabs you do before you do the finisher x cross stab the stronger the cross stab will be. Ranking this skill increases the power and your chance to knock back and it is suggested to rank this skill since it is one of your dps sources. 3B<br />
<br />
Double Crecent - "I do not own this skill yet so this info is taken from what i saw in the wiki video and read" This skill seems to let you do a crescent slash smash right after you dodge. Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqSTO4emxdc3C<br />
<br />
Gliding Fury - "same as above I dont own this skill yet so wiki again" It appears that it lets you do a combo smash by dodging from the end of a windmill or directly from any critical smash. Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEx9J2MfXeU3D<br />
<br />
Slip Dash Proficiency - Your all important dodge skill that lets you dodge enemy attacks by sliding in a direction. You control the direction by pressing the dodge key and a direction key at the same time. Ranking reduces the stamina needed to use a dodge and also gives you a fraction of a second more invincibility time in dodge(ie invincibility frames). Another skill that you should rank as high you can or at least to rank D for Nimble dash.3E<br />
<br />
Nimble Dash - Nimble Dash just lets you do a second slip dash in a row which in turn helps greatly extend your range of evasion. Merrac will at some point have a quest called Nimble Dash. All you gotta do is have rank D Slip Dash Proficiency and Merrac will hand you the skill book.3F<br />
<br />
Campfire - This skill lets you set up a campfire using a campfire kit. A campfire kit is a highly recommended item to bring to your runs. After setting up your campfire and feeding it wood. You can sit down with f11 you will heal as you sit,it comes with an anvil that everybody can use to repair items. It also after sitting by it for a period gives a attack,magic attack boast and regeneration bonus to your armor. Ranking it boasts the healing rate and bonuses. Earned free from the story from the first quest of the second boat(basically when you start using tokens for dungeons) campfire kits are sold at the traveler store and mercenary guild for 200g each. A great skill to rank after doing skills like smash mastery,thousand needle,slip dash,etc.3G<br />
<br />
Armor masteries - Each mastery adds defense,lowers wt, adds maximum durability and lets you equip better armor. Lann starts off with light armor. You may pick up each mastery by buying the skill book at the mercenary outpost at level 5 for 3600g each. You have to rank one or more of these skills otherwise you cant equip better armors.3H<br />
<br />
Twin sword mastery/Spear mastery- Again lowers the wt of your corresponding weapon and also lets you equip better weapons. Skill books are the same as armor 3600g at level 5. Also gotta rank one of these skills to equip better weapons.3I<br />
<br />
Critical Hit - Another one from wiki but everybody knows what this one does - chance to crit for extra dmg. Unknown how to acquire for now. Ranking boasts chance and bonus dmg.3J<br />
<br />
Stat Traning skills - Various skill books are sold that when used will give you skills that boast certain stats more str,int,will etc. Various levels and prices all sold at the mercenary outpost. Higher skill rank = more stat boasts. This set of skills is personal choice would you like to spend ap in attack skills or in boasting your stats.3K<br />
<br />
Combat mastery - Boasts your normal attacks dmg by a set %. The is at skill book at the mercenary outpost at level 9 for 8400g. Ranking = more %. The % for this may not be that high but get it rank D or better so you have access to smash mastery.3L<br />
<br />
Smash mastery - Just like combat mastery boats your smash dmg by a %. Skill book at Mercenary outpost level 11 for 10800g. Requires rank D combat mastery before you may purchase. Ranking just like above means a better % and this one is worth ranking since smashes outside of skills is where most of your dps comes from.3M<br />
<br />
Stone skin - Boast your def when armor is broken or damaged. Level 13 skill book at mercenary outpost ,13200g, Needs rank D Defense mastery. Ranking = more def. Not worth it to rank in my view the defense boast is minor.3N<br />
<br />
Combat Respiration - Increases your stamina recovery rate. Skill book at mercenary outpost at level 13 for 13200g. Lann can and will consume alot of stamina at once,this skill is a must rank.3O<br />
<br />
Meditation - free ap over time- not worth ranking as its uses more ap then it gives. Given as quest reward for one of the beginner quests.3P<br />
<br />
Skill Advice and things to consider<br />
4A<br />
Thousand Needle- Once you start stabbing an enemy with this combo you will start to use stamina,it is vital you learn to gauge when to stop the combo by using the smash key to finish it.<br />
If you do not use the smash to finish the combo while you have stamina or time it so the smash uses the last of your stamina. When you press the attack key again with no stamina Lann will do the tired animation and thus end your combo without finishing it. You also must consider how much stamina you have left after the combo. Do I have enough to dodge out of a boss counter attack or can I go all the way and just walk away?<br />
4B<br />
Slip Dash - In the same token how Fiona players must learn how to use guard and heavy stander correctly. Lann players must learn how to use slip Dash or dodge correctly and then counter attack or back off while a enemy tries to find you again. An example would be the Gnoll chieftain one of the first major bosses. He has three main attacks, a swift foward kick, a hammer ground pound and a windmill where he spins his hammer twice in a 360. The kick and hammer ground pound you simply could dodge around and keep attacking. The windmill is where in lies the trouble. Most people would dodge the first windmill and then go in for the counter attack only to be caught off guard by the second stronger windmill. So as Lann you must learn when to attack,evade and when to do both.<br />
4C<br />
Stamina control- It`s plain and simple learn to control how much stamina you use at once be at the mercy of some bosses attack and unable to dodge it.<br />
<br />
Boss Tips 5<br />
Small Gnoll bosses(beginner boat) 5A<br />
Most if not all of these bosses can simply be dodged by using slip dash going behind them or sticking on their side and dodging backwards or to the side as needed.<br />
<br />
Gnoll Chieftain The first real challenge boss he has three main attacks. 5B<br />
Kick- easy to dodge frontal kick only done when someone is really close to him.<br />
Hammer swing- simple hammer swing to the ground to try to squah someone. Simply dodge away from it and counter attack<br />
Double hammer spin- does two 360 hammer spins very wide range. Dodge away from him in the opposite direction and just let him do his 2 windmills and then counter attack. If you dodge in his path unless you have nimble dash for a second dodge then you may get hit.<br />
<br />
Small melee kobold bosses- just two axe attacks5C<br />
Front swing - Easy just dodge like the knolls<br />
Double swing- similar to your 450 twin edge so just be careful when you go in for the counter otherwise its an easy dodge.<br />
<br />
Slingshot brother kobolds- all three can use slingshots and snot on you and older two can do something like a flailing run. The slingshot attacks are very simple to dodge by dashing before they hit you. The snot attack is a slow close range frontal attack also very easy to dodge. The flailing run is a semi annoying but lets you get free hits as long your behind them.5D<br />
<br />
Brynn's Research5E<br />
This boss is a walking target for Lann players. He has 4 actions that are ultra simple<br />
Potion drink and toss- some potions with an orange spark and he will drink the bottle and toss it at his argo target. Just dont be in front of him<br />
Potion spit- The sparks will be green and he will drink his potion and spit it in front of him.<br />
Potion drink- He stands there and heals a minor about with a red spark-free attacks<br />
Dagger slice- he may sometiems use his dagger to do a basic few slashes in front of him. Just dodge out of the way for this.<br />
Just stay on his back or his side and this boss is a cakewalk.<br />

I made it a screenshot-based guide, because of my video lag (discussed in another post), thanks to Brandom/Jbox for the idea! :]<br />
<br />

<br />
Forthe past few days, VindictusHQ has been having a serious poll about the age limits, and I've voted for no age limits.<br />
<br />
Here's some background information. Nexon has had a 13+ age lmit, a standard and the most common limit you see. Even when MapleStory became a 10+ game, the registration for a Nexon passport still requires you to be 13+.<br />
<br />
MapleStory has had eight year olds since 2005, which shows making age limits is a waste of time when children five years underage play. I joined Nexon in late 2006 at the age of 9, so even I don't regard them.<br />
<br />
Mabinogi has always had a 13+ age limit. I joined at the age of 11, but there is always the uncommon sight of a 9-11 year old who plays regularly. The most common sightings are 14-21.<br />
<br />
Vindictus is the most mature Nexon MMORPG by far. The age limit is the above average 15, with 18+ for blood. The age limits are again unheeded, as I use a 15 year old account at the age of 13. I've also already had two people come back for another beta key because their account was 13 or 14 because of this restriction. I believe it should be the regular 13+ restriction.<br />
<br />
Here is an updated video of the results, taken on August 21st at 9:40AM PST.<br />

I suck at the game, and I can't record any videos.<br />
<br />
I wanted to post video guides or video footage, but now I can't, because of the lag and my lack of experience.<br />
<br />
:\<br />
<br />
Just look at this video to see how bad it is:<br />

<br />
This is why I wish to quit, along with the fact that I suck at the game.<br />
