Thanks For New Armor Skins (Pic)

If that’s the medium armor then my Charr Engie will adore this.
Thank you!

Your Charr won’t be using this model, instead it will use the male model which is a trenchcoat like armor. Same with asura.

What was the issue with the dungeon?

It is not an exploit, is it Kiel bugging out and forcing players to restart the dungeon.

Hey everyone, here are some guides to the Sky Pirate content you may find useful.

Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions. I know some of the dungeon achievements might be a little off so I will be updating those as soon as I know the correct info

This is a rough one with a small guild. The stalkers (archers) can kill your barrels from far away and basically make you fail this puzzle very fast.

Basically have players on the lookout for stalkers, they start spawning around 8 minutes. Priority is killing them asap. We found the mortar to be pretty useless and focused all of our resources on the turrets.

Dulfy, is the skill points for the scavenger hunt a one time account reward? Or can it be done once on each character? Thanks. I’m assuming its a one time account reward, so I want to know if I need to do it on a certain character that needs skill points right now.

One time since the reward is associated with your account bound achievment. The reward item is account bound though.

A gold per run, huh? And here I thought Anet didn’t want us to make money in this game. At least that’s what I keep reading.

But how long does it take to do the dungeon though? Thats where they’re gonna get us.

May take at least 30 minutes I think? Took us a while to complete during the preview as we were undergeared and some people were playing classes they never played before.

Dulfy, did they happen to tell you (or did you find) if we’re going to be able to get any of the new weapons (rapier, revolver pistol, shield, weird scythe hammer thing, etc.)?

Have not seen any of those weapon skins except on the Aetherblade mobs (one of the bosses carry the Rifle and the Aetherblade Thug carries the scythe hammer thingie). I am thinking they might be NPC only but they may surprise us

Also for those wondering about the timed achievement. The time limit is 15 minutes to kill the last boss encounter, which is quite doable as long you don’t screw up majorly I think.

Hey everyone, I recently had the opportunity to obtain a preview of the upcoming Sky Pirates patch and I thought I would share some information with you to help prepare for tomorrow when the patch lands.

This is done in a point format for ease of reading. I also wrote a wall of text if you like to read that instead: http://dulfy.net/2013/06/24/gw2-sky-pirates-of-tyria-patch-preview

Achievements

  • Around 20 achievements, divided into 3 categories 1) Kill x aetherblade pirates in various regions of Tyria, 2) Achievements for getting aetherblade cache in 7 existing jumping puzzles/mini-dungeons 3) Achievements for the new dungeon – some are for completion, others are more skill based
  • Kill based achievements require you to interact with the same hologram projectors you encountered in Dragon Bash. They now have a 50/50 chance to spawn Aetherblade pirates when you walk near them (some of them will still spawn holographic minions). You can also get these achievements by killing the pirates guarding the various caches if you don’t feel like running around.
  • Cache based achievements are basically a bunch of existing jumping puzzles/mini dungeons with a new cache (jumping puzzle chest) placed into them. They don’t give any special loot but getting them give you an achievement. It is a way to recycle content basically. You will need to do Goemm’s Lab, Obsidian Sanctum, Vexa’s Lab, Fawcett’s Bounty, Hidden Garden etc to name a few. Some caches are located near entrance but others are located at the very end.
  • Dungeon achievements – some are the standard killing bosses achievements while others are more skill based (i.e. avoid a boss mechanic or kill the boss within a time limit).
  • Completing 12 of the achievements will reward you with a mini pet modeled after a boss in the new dungeon: http://imgur.com/a/7yOu2

Dungeon – Aetherblade Retreat

  • Like molten facility, if not harder. Very interesting boss mechanics not unlike raid boss mechanics seen in other MMOs
  • You get a guaranteed rare from the boss chest and 1 gold every time you complete it. The dungeon is hard enough that Arenanet feels it is justified to give 1 gold for every completed run.
  • 5 player dungeon, will upscale players to L80 but low level players may have a hard time.
  • Boss chest has a chance to give you an exotic, tradeable monocle headpiece with berserker stats: http://i.imgur.com/MmLXHPW.jpg
  • You may also find the recipe for an infinite tonic that will transform you into one of the bosses – you can jump with it and the tonic is tradeable once crafted: http://i.imgur.com/rYDUxRd.jpg

Aetherblade Armor (gemstore)

  • I think alot of you have already seen this from datamining. You get 3 sets, one set for each armor type (i.e. light, medium heavy). They are suppose to be purchased from the gemstore I was told.
  • Unfortunately both Charr and Asura uses the male model for both sexes.

Scavenger Hunt

  • Ingame scavenger hunt to promote the launch of Sea of Sorrows book, not really part of the Sky Pirates theme.
  • Need to find 12 Marriner plaques. You can find all 12 of them using clues given inside the book (or just look for them blindly like I did) . You get an achievement and one time use consumable that give you 5 skill points.

Jumping Puzzle

  • Not released until second week on July 2.
  • Can’t talk about it now but I will say I had a rough time doing it so it should be fun

I think that is it, let me know if you have any questions etc.

They are only used inside the Scene of the Crime instance. They don’t work on the suspects in the open world.

dulfy.1493

Not sure if this is really needed since everything is marked on the map for you but in case you are not aware of those markings or didn’t read the mail they sent you hopefully this helps.

Prequisites

  • You must have completed Hard Boiled (and Ceremony and Alimony) first. Hard Boiled is completed by visiting The Dead End in Eastern Commons Section of Divinity’s Reach.
  • Return to Lion’s Arch after and talk to Inspector Kiel in Grand Piazaa, she will port you inside a story instance called Scene of the Crime.
  • Talking to Marjory Delqua will grant you a Tassi Box with a #1 ability that you will need to use on the marked NPCs. If you have fast ground targeting on, you will need to stand on top of the NPCs and target them to use it.

June 19

  • Only 3 suspects can be acquired today: Vorrk, Morraloo, Kasparak. They are all marked on your map with a golden star. You do not need to use the Tassi Box here anymore.
  • Vorrk – Lion’s Arch – need to interact with the corpse. His corpse is located in Western Ward
  • Morraloo – Bloodtide Coast – talk to the Quaggan near Sorrowful Sound
  • Kasparak – Gendarran Fields – talk to the skritt near Almuten Estates.

June 20

  • Two more opens up tomorrow.

Don’t even need to dodge, just move away and the channel will cancel and the effigy will be instantly lit.

Which Merchant has the Pirate Coat?

in Last Stand at Southsun

Posted by: dulfy.1493

dulfy.1493

It is the Southsun Economist Merchant and he ONLY sells them when you have 4/4 settlements under control. Both the masterwork/blue armor are the pirate set. This merchant can be found in Pearl Islet, Steampipe Steading and some other settlements.

Keep in mind the pirate set is not a new skin.

Guide to Karka queen & Contract Obligated

in Last Stand at Southsun

Posted by: dulfy.1493

dulfy.1493

Karka Queen

  • Hold all four settlements (Point Pride, Kiel’s Outpost, Steampipe Steading, and Camp Karka) to get her to spawn left of Steampipe Steading. She has a cooldown so won’t always spawn when all four settlements are controlled.
  • You have 10 minutes to kill her. If you fail to do so she will respawn with full health at one of the four settlements.
  • Defeating her give you a daily bonus chest with two rares and a chest on the ground that give you some karka shells and 2 random items.
  • Defeating her should give you the Crazed Karka Queen achievement but this is sometime bugged.

Merchant

  • This merchant is called Southsun Economist and normally sells white stuff unless all four settlements are held. You can find him in Steampipe Steading, Pearl islet and probably some other settlements as well.
  • Weapons have basic starter skin and costs 2 gold and 70 karka shells for exotic, 20 silver and 5 karka shells for rare. They have random major sigils.
    Armor have old skins (Conjurer skins for light, Banded for heavy, and Rogue/Pirate for medium) for exotic/rares and sells for the same price as the weapons
  • Weapons and armor cannot be put in mystic forge or salvaged.
  • Also sell two potions for 5 karka shells and 1 passion flower. One is Karka slaying and the other give +150 toughness

Contractually Obligated

  • Talk to Inspector Ellen Kiel in Pearl Islet and she will have an option to enter a story instance.
  • Make sure you don’t exit the instance until you get the achievement – you will need a bit after finishing the final cutscene.

Confusion on how Karka Queen spawns

in Last Stand at Southsun

Posted by: dulfy.1493

dulfy.1493

The Queen Karka have a cooldown on her spawn so she won’t always pop when all 4 settlements are held.
