Knights, get ready for Kalizzaa's Tour of Arlor! It's a four weeks long elite running competition for guilds in Arcane Legends, and yes, Trinity Knights will be participating.
Starting early February, we will get as many knights as possible to finish two elite zones a week as often as possible. This is a great chance for those new lvl 40s to start collecting elite achievement points (AP). It's also a good way to share elite run tips and learn some elite farming on the side.
So this week, while we go on with the tooth farming event Codename: Fang, please also focus on these activities:
1. Leveling up to 40 and 41 to get those skills points and stats ready for elite runs;
2. Take a look at our elite build and gear guide and do respec if necessary. Talk to me in game or on Line chat to discuss build and gear.
3. Get your gear good and ready. Again look at the guide and discuss on gc, Line chat or pm about what's the best gear you can get for your budget to be ready for elite.
I hope after the event, many knights will have learned to enjoy running elite and will be ready to join parties with guildies or with random players. As we are also nearing the next expansion, I am also hoping that the skills learned during this competition can help many of us get better at fighting difficult maps without fear.
We will be competing against many high profile elite-focused guilds in the contest. It might even seem as if Trinity Knights is David pitted against arcane-geared Goliath. But all I expect us to do is to work with each other, to represent, to put up the best fight we can give, and run those elite maps over and over and over.
Level up, gear up, and respec if you can all this final week of January.
Next week, my knights, we go to war.
Chillin' while Ilhanna counts trivia scores.

41 mages... Shield vs Lifegiver preparing for endgame (elites). I understand heals generate threat (aggro) but the empower upgrade from lifegiver allows for higher group DPS.
My current spec:
skills (passive)
crit 5/5
agility 5/5
knowledge 5/5
might 5/5
skills (active)
fireball (all)
lightning (all except electrical discharge)
frost (all except shatter)
time shift (all)
heal (empower only)
Your thoughts?
Super late upload!!!! Lol
my winter event 2014!

Apart from the aggro-stealing, heal also has quite a long cooldown. On hard elite maps you and your party can't wait that long. Since that means you'll be spamming pots anyway, better take shield. Shield can save you when you run to drop clock in the middle of mobs being tanked by warrior, for instance. It's also a great help for maps like the Ashral Heart or elite Shuyal 1 where it allows you to roll unscathed over poison pools to drop clock.
I'm like that Egyptian pharaoh lol. Big big tomb all for me alone.

So many reasons to get excited and busy this weekend and next month!
First off, a new upcoming world event where the Upper Hauntlet is transformed with more challenges and rewards. Read what Remiem said said HERE:
In other news, Kalizzaa's Tour of Arlor is due to start on February 2, 12pm EST. On top of the prizes for most actively running guild, gold prizes await top scoring runners, and STS has also hinted at a present for everyone who completes all the maps assigned in the challenge.
Just check out the prizes:
And rules:
So, we need to:
1. Learn and practice taking and uploading screenshots on forum;
2. Level up to 40 - 41;
3. Stock up on damage, protection, luck elixirs. Buy some ankh kits;
4. Respec for elite if necessary. Since this is a competition we want to have as many runs completed as possible. So anything that might slows us down, including wrong build that leads to low damage or inefficient skills or too many deaths, should be fixed before the event started.
I'm super excited about this and I hope all of you are too!
The Upper Hauntlet is temporarily under new management and is now called the Gauntlet, which offers some new challenges, from an op Jarl to the deadly combo of Arachna and Krunch. There's an event leaderboard with some reward, but loot for individual runs will only start dropping on January 30. More info here:

Apparently, though, the new management forgot to close the back door to the Hauntlet. So I got to play around there a bit.

My rogue soloing the Gauntlet.

But it's perfectly soloable by rogues so long as you don't lag, Vig. Use speed+dmg or speed+crit pet (at a pinch grab McCraw). Circle and shoot keeping both bosses together for nox poison. Krunch red zone has a grace period where you can pass it and don't get clubbed. Keep at middle distance because if you stray too far from Arachna she pulls and cocoons you. And even if she throws a net you can step aside quickly. I did the above solo run in my mythic set, then tried it legendary gear (expedition potency bow, icescale potency set, frostbitten brutality ring, elondrian security amulet) with Blinky and it worked too.

So here we are on the second day of Kalizzaa's Tour of Arlor elite challenge. Good job, knights! I'm very proud of us. But the battle isn't over yet.
Week 1 of the challenge covers elite Brackenridge and Ydra. Week 2 will take us through elite Dead City and Kraken Isles. These four zones are the easiest to run. We have to take this opportunity to get as many points as possible to boost Trinity Knights on the guild standing.
Unfortunately Week 1 will be cut short, ending not on the weekend but this Wednesday, February 4. This means we cannot rely on players who only log on on weekends to help get us scores. We have to maximize efforts till Wednesday and run as often as everyone can.
So those who have run the eight maps for 100 points, keep running. If you have more than one level 40+ character in guild, complete all Brackydra elite with all of them. Then run again. Take screenshots. Post here:
http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...allenge-Week-1
Then repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
I especially urge warriors to run the eight assigned maps often because you get us 2 points per completed map. Trinity Knights rely on you, warriors. I know you won't let us down. Skysmash, windmill, split chests, and throw that axe, wreck those elite bosses for us. This is your moment.
Back into battle, knights. Don't lay your weapons down until the very last moment.
These are some very basic ideas on how to run easy elites faster for Tour of Arlor:
1. Instead of fighting mobs group by group, pull several groups together. While one pt member hold one group's attention, another run forward and make other groups follow them to where the first group is.
2. Once you have mobs grouped together mages can drop clock (timeshift) in middle of mob, rogues can keep firing noxious bolt (for poison damage over time) and drop veil to debuff mobs and raise the dmg of everyone inside the smoke ring, while warrior can keep the enemies there with horn/windmill until all the mobs melt away.
3. Use pets that give crit to everyone like ribbit, gyrm, talon, and take turns using their arcane abilities. Critical hit delivers more damage, which means faster kills.
4. Warriors can use vengeful blood to increase their damage. Magma claymore and wild talisman str procs help as well.
5. On these easy elite maps mages can use fire, lightning, clock, ice. No need for shield and heal at all.
6. Run to boss about 75% into the map. You will have killed enough mobs (more than 50%) to make boss appear, so no need to kill every enemy.
Do you have any more tips to share so everyone can run elite faster?
Thank you so much, everyone who took part in Week 1 of Kalizzaa's Tour of Arlor! So many runs! So many screenshots. And I checked all of the screenshots and saw us asking for parties, thanking each other for parties. Great job!
Let's use the time between now and next Monday to prepare for next week's challenge, elite Dead City and Kraken Isles. Let's plan to do it better.
Thank you again, knights, from the bottom of my heart. You have made me very, very proud.
gooooood gamee ;)
