Territory wars to be removed from Lineage 2

[JonesyMufc]

Posted by Sace.

Hi folks,

As you know, the Goddess of Destruction: Tauti update is our next big game update on the way. With this update, the Territory War system will be removed from the game. Some folks may be wondering what will happen with Territory War badges and quests, so here's the answers we have for you so far:

As the Territory War NPCs will leave with the game update, you must claim your Territory War badges from them before the Tauti update maintenance begins.
Territory War badges (the item) will not be removed from the game.
After the update is launched, you will still be able to spend them in two places:
Aden Reconstruction NPC, for a treasure chest.
News Informer, who will act as a Territory War exchange NPC for as long as he’s in the game.
Unfinished Territory War quests can be turned in for rewards to the News Informer.

We are still checking on if you will also be able to claim Noblesse status from the News Informer as well, or not. We'll post and update when it is confirmed.

Currently it’s expected the News Informer will stay in game for 1 month after the Tauti update is launched; we’ll be able to post specific details when the final patch notes are released, and we’ll also be able to give you the Tauti launch date in the future. Stay tuned.

OK if the getting rid of Territory Wars sre they going to come out with another way for folks to get it so the are noble?

[OzDragon]

well there is still the old way the LONG as regent poach quest and the raids.. oooh god i hope they add something new those ToI raids where always a bitch to get done cuz sooo many ppl where fighting for them not to mention Baium....

[OzDragon]

Here is part one the regent pouch, http://lineage.pmfun.com/list/quest/...us-soul-part-1

Here is part 2 http://lineage.pmfun.com/list/quest/...s-soul-part-2a

Here is part 3 the raid. http://lineage.pmfun.com/list/quest/...us-soul-part-3

I was mistaken the ToI raids where for the old class change quest.

But in the old school way not only could you not start the 3rd part of this quest until you where done getting our first sub class to 65 with the new system they have in place you can not sub class unless your noble (currently if your noble you can sub class with out doing the sub-class quest) if they change this will we need to do the sublcass quest to get our first subclass so we can become a noble. i wonder how this will effect us all??

In order to subclass you must do 4 quests. Below is the order of which you can and should take them. The first three are pre-requirements for the final one.

1. 1.) Supplier of Reagants
   Level: 58
   Location: Ivory Tower sopping level Trader Wesley
   Guide:
   Purpose: to be able to collect the reagant pouches which have moonstone shards, volcanic ash, and quicksilver needed for Mimir's elixir at 75. Hunt occasionally in Blazing Swamp and TOI to get reagant pouches as well as lava stones and stuff. DO NOT open the pouches unless you have room in warehouse for multiple components.

1. 2.) An Arrogant Search
   Level: 63
   Location: Aden DE Guild Magister Hanellin
   Guide:
   Purpose: get your bloody fabrics. You use 1 fabric per time entering the vortex to see Baium.

1. 3.) Fate's Whisper
   Level: 75
   Location: Skyshadow Meadow Maestro Reorin
   Guide:
   Purpose: collect the orb from cabrio, and the scepters from the 3 TOI raid bosses, to receive your pipette knife and stab Baium. At completion you receive the Star to do Mimir's Elixir

1. 4.) Mimir's Elixir
   Level: 75
   Location: Magister Ladd, 4th floor Ivory Tower
   Guide:
   Purpose: craft the elixir to subclass

Simple enough until you get to Fate's Whisper and have to do the highly coveted ToI Raids

Quest details



Arrogant Search (Magister Hanellin DE Guild Aden)
Quest will allow you to collect the bloody fabrics. In order to enter the vortex to see Baium, you use up one of your bloody fabrics.

Supplier of Reagants (Trader Wesley Ivory Tower shopping District)
Hunt occasionally in Blazing Swamp and TOI to get reagant pouches as well as lava stones and stuff. DO NOT open the pouches unless you have room in warehouse for multiple components. Kill platinuum tribe and orc shamans.

You want to collect/buy the following items:

• 100 moonstone shards

• 10 volcanic ash

• 1 quicksilver

Fate's Whisper 75 Skyshadow Meadow (Maestro Reorin)
Grab this quest immediately upon turning 75. Pay attention to any chat regarding Cabrio and TOI Raid Bosses. The order of events is:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRE-Quest Tasks:


Craft top B Grade duals
------------------------------
Master Reorin at one point will ask that you offer up a top B grade weapon. He provides a list and wants to know what you will provide. THIS IS A ONE TIME CHOICE. If you tell him you will give him a Staff of Evil Spirits you had better have access to one. Best way to do this is go to Giran weapon store. Purchase 2 samurai long swords. Next you need 450 stones of purity (sop). Check your warehouse and friends. You can also buy these in Giran from player shops. Bring the two swords and sop and some adena to the blacksmith in Aden. Tell him 'MAKE A GREAT SWORD', have him craft Dual SLS ( top B duals). In the list they are 5th row, 2nd column, right before he starts showing you the common ones. Make sure you craft dual sls.

Reagants to Purchase or Acquire from Hunting:
--------------------------------------------------------------

• 100 moonstone shards

• 10 volcanic ash

• 1 quicksilver

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quest Tasks

• Kill Cabrio
  You do not have to actually kill him, just get here in time for the box and open it. You will get the orb from the box.

• Return to Maestro Reorin
  He will now ask you to take down the 3 TOI Raid bosses, to get their scepters.

• Collect all three TOI raid boss scepters
  They can be done in any order. Tower of Insolence 3rd floor – Death Lord Hallate, Tower of Insolence 8th floor – Kernon, Tower of Insolence 11th floor – Golkonda Longhorn

• Return to Maestro Reorin
  He will now ask you to get his infernium varnish from Cliff.

• Meet with Cliff in the Warehouse of Oren. He will give you Infernium Varnish that Maestro Reorin needs.

• Return to Maestro Reorin
  Return to Maestro Reorin with the Varnish. He takes it and asks you to meet Head Blacksmith Ferris in Aden and get his hammer for him.

• Return to Maestro Reorin
  Return to Maestro Reorin with the hammer. He takes it and asks you to meet Trader Zenkin, weapons shop in Oren.

• Meet Trader Zenkin, weapons shop Oren.
  Trader Zenkin is in Oren's Weapons and Armor shop. He tells you to meet Magister Kasper at Hardin's Private Academy.

• Meet Magister Kasper Hardin's Private Academy
  The magister will give you a pipette knife that you will use to stab Baium.

Congratulations you are now ready to stab Baium

• To the 13th Floor! To Baium and Beyond!!
  
  The Baium waiting room
  Baium is asleep at the top of TOI. Go all the way up to Galaxial the angel near the top, there are stairs leading further up. A vortex is outside Baium's door. You cannot target Baium from outside the door. You have to /target him from another the lower level floor I believe. You will know when he is up though. People start entering the vortex. And the vortex will finally allow you into his chamber.
  
  This is the long and dreaded part of the whole event and probably the most dangerous. Step #1, do not respond to any untagged idiots, they are usually a high power messing with people. Equip your pippette knife and put your main weapon on hotkey incase you end up wanting to flag. I do not recommend it. Making your title something like 'LF BAIUM'. Sit and wait for hours, pass time PM'ing people. Do not make yourself a target up there, you're there for one task stab Baium.
  
  Stab Baium
  
  Once inside, you will need someone to be the guinea pig wake Baium up. DO NOT RUN AND STAB BAIUM YOURSELF YET. Once Baium is woken, he will start his rampage and the angels will appear. Run with all speed at his big toe and stab his ****!! Make sure your knife gets bloodied. I actually brought up a small amount of ngss for the occasion. Then get the hell out of there. I was able to just soe but you can bsoe if need be.

• Return to Reorin
  
  Tell him you will give him Samurai Long Sword duals (Remember those top B duals I asked you to craft...) for your top B weapon offering. From the low A grade weapon list choose whatever you want for your subclass.
  
  Now listen up and listen good. Do not **** this part up. If you tell Master Reorin you will give him a flaming pile of poo, he will only accept that. DO NOT CHOOSE A WEAPON TO GIVE HIM THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE. If you do you must wait til Mammon and convert something to that weapon delaying your subclass quest. I highly recommend crafting the B grade duals. You are recieving a crappy low grade A weapon in place of a top B. Price wise it is cheaper to make the B duals from the 2 C grade store bought samurai long swords than it is to hand him say an AOBA, or Lance.
  
  Upon trading the top B weapon for a low A grade weapon, he will give you the star Mark and you have completed the quest. You now have the Star Mark which is a requirement for Mimir's Elixir.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mimir's Elixir Magister Ladd 4th floor Ivory Tower
Mimir's elixir requires you to make 2 things...pure silver and pure gold. The pure silver is made by using the magical urn on the floor with Trader Wesley for the Supplier of Reagants.

Use the urn and repeat the following 10 times

Make Moonstone dust

Moonstone shards(10)
volanic ash(1)
salamander Heat

You will create moonstone dust 10 times from that.

Now make Lunargent

Moonstone dust(10)
volacanic ash(1) (might be quicksilver i forget)
salamader heat

Now make Pure silver

Lunargent + quicksilver + salamandar heat


Ok now that the pure silver is made, return to Magister Ladd. He will send you to Magister Joan in Ivory Tower. You now need to kill 2 mobs in order to get the ingredients for pure gold.

First mob is chimera in silent Valley (aden--> silent valley). This is a community mob, fairly easy to do. Try not to attract the giant community mob while do them. Return to Ladd or Joan, they they send u to the next mob. Be sure to return first.

2nd mob is a bloody guardian. This mob is very very very hard to reach. It is deep in Antharas lair and a community mob that is tough to solo. I highly suggest you find friends/clannies or other people who just stabbed Baium to do this with. It is is vital to have a tank and a SD (spectral dancer with shadow step) to reach the deep part. Do not go it alone. As Kosh once told Captain Sheridan, "If you go to KhazaDum, you will DIE!". While not mandatory, it is good to let one member only attack the Bloody Guardian while the others kill the other members of the community mob. It is confirmed though that you can get quest item without dealing the killing blow.


Return to Magister Ladd or Joan, they tell you how to make the elixir. At the urn mix pure silver + pure gold + in phoenix fire (HIGHEST LEVEL), make sure you choose QUEST--> Mimir's Elixir at the urn and not Supplier of Reagants. This part will not fail. Once you have the item, go back and drink it completing the quest.


Congratulations you can now visit the subclass changers in towns to switch to a new level 40 subclass.

Go to the respective High Prefect (orc), Warehouse Chief (dwarf), etc to switch to one of that races classes. Go back to your main classes top guy to switch back to main class. If you have extra inventory slots they do not carryover between main and sub class.

lets just hope I can get Princess the last of her badges so we don't have to figure out what coming till after folks have worked out the kinks

[JonesyMufc]

Word is that it is estimated 5 weeks.
And with this they will be removing Kartia to encourage people to leave town and level lol.

[OzDragon]

Guess we will see if it true. one thing i have come to rely on is with the L2 Staff is never depend on any time they say.. "SOON" lol

[Dani Oliver]

Thanks for posting that Jonesy. Sad to say, but we only got around to reading the patch notes from the previous update, yesterday. We've already heard about most of the main changes but it was high time we read through the whole thing.

Do you happen to have a link handy of any patch notes they currently have available for the upcoming update?

[JonesyMufc]

No, nothing has been released by NCsoft yet other than its called Tauti lol.

[JonesyMufc]

OK so tomorrow will be the last Territory wars in Lineage 2.
Tauti will hit us on the 13th of June (12 days from now.)

Here it was Sace posted about the future of Noblesse.


"The Goddess of Destruction: Tauti update is launching to NCsoft West Lineage II servers on June 13, 2012! Among other exciting changes, this game update removes the Territory War system from the game. This announcement serves as notification regarding the date of last Territory War session on each server, and what related quests and items will and will not be available after the update launches.

Final Territory War Dates

June 2, 2012: Chronos, Shilen
June 9, 2012: Naia, Magmeld, Bartz

The final Territory War session for each server will proceed as normal. After the game update launches on June 13, the News Informer NPC will be in-game for one month, until July 11, to help players complete any unfinished Territory War quests and to sell all previously-sold territory-related items for Territory War badges. In Goddess of Destruction: Tauti, Territory War badges can also be spent at the Aden Reconstruction NPC for Hero’s Treasure Chests.

Noblesse Changes

The ability to purchase Noblesse status with 100 Territory War badges will no longer be available after Tauti launches, even through the News Informer. Unfinished pre-Tauti Noblesse quests cannot be finished through the News Informer. Tauti does however bring a new Noblesse quest, details of which will be included in the patch notes when they are posted in the near future."
