    Assault is like CoPx10 in terms of commitment. especially Captain rank. If you have multiple people persuing relic in a Nyzul group, its not a pretty picture when you consider the fact there can only be one discholder. If you choose to have more than one, you find yourself repeating floors a lot and the endeavor just takes that much longer. Those are going to be the two major sticking points for a lot of people.

    The Beastmen Kings in ToA will be fought over now, if defeating them is all that's expected, perhaps that's not so bad. Chariots aren't unreasonable, Einherjar isn't unreasonable.

    Still those with no life get the advantage, if you do have a life, its going to be a long, slow climb.

      No money involved =

      All you need are good friends: people you know, love, and trust. Which is really asking a lot of some people, but honestly, it beats the crap out of RMTing currency.

        I didn't find getting captain to be that hard at all. It took awhile but we were simultaneously working toward assault gear and such so it wasn't an empty road with a big reward at the end. And there were a handful of pretty difficult assaults but you can take a break and work on a different assault unless it's your last one, so there's no getting stuck on a fight like with CoP and such. Also, no bullshit farming prerequisites or sessions that necessarily take over three hours to complete.

        More than one person in a nyzul static wanting a weapon would be a problem, but that shouldn't be too common. I doubt more than 1/6 people doing dynamis are after a relic weapon.

            Err, I wouldn't say No Money exactly (unless your Einherjar shell covers entry fees for everyone, then it is free)


            It looks like we got what we wanted though; a long ass epic quest that's more or less free.

              Still waiting to know the Relics' properties. Not worth doing until I know.

                I wonder when they're gonna make relic actually attainable...
                In the moonlight, your face it glows.. like a thousand diamonds, I suppose.
                And your hair flows like.. The ocean breeze...
                Not a million fights could make me hate you, you’re invincible.
                Yeah, It’s true.
                It’s in your eyes, where I find peace.

                        We will likely never see relics that are easy to obtain for the casual player. Which I'm fine with, personally.

                                Time for part 4:

                                The Qiqirn quest is part of this series to obtain the relic. The requirements to complete it are...50k Alexanderites (uncommon drop it seems from Archaic machinery), Balrahn's Eyepatch (100k Ampholes from the Einherjar lady), W. Areuhat (its a book, ??? how to obtain) and recomplete all 50 assaults with the appropriate log/journal/ledger/diary/chronicle with you.

                                Fun times
