Atlantica Online: Expedition Tips / Strategies ::: EDITION 1 :::

2011-05-18T06:31:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you one aspect from expedition, what I call micro lazy income.

So first to remind you that in expedition you lose roughly about 4 points of durability per item per run, which is actually very much, so running an expedition for making experience is actually expensive. Those who don't mind to pay the repair for the sake of experience - no problem, but most people should be careful. So this brings me to the topic I want to share with you:

G1's micro lazy income from expeditions

I've put 5 quite naked high level mercs into an expedition (60 battles) and given them I think just +0 divine weapon (which will be dismantled when durab = 0 so I get most of the money back for them in elements). There is a pirate and spartan on front row which I never use. A second oracle which I had made long ago for tbs which i also dont use sitting on the 2nd row and in the 3rd row an arty (I had made for the debuff), a class D gunner (backup for PVE if i need) and a 2nd monk. Spartan and arty are around level 130. Pirate is around 120. Oracle and monk are 113 (if i would need them i can put nix on em).

So I have put life pots on spartan (the leader) and 150 class 3 mana pots on all mercs. I have experimented sending this party to all kinds of skirmishes in expedition but basically the sweet spot is the Ruined Labyrinth.

You can JP literally whatever in the loot window and it gives you roughly about 2 mil gold and you just send them right back without looking / checking items or whatever.

So lets say you send them 1 time in the morning before work, 1 time before you have dinner and 1 time before you go to sleep, that makes it 3 times per day, which makes it 90 times per month. 90 times x 2 mil income per run is 180 mil gold per month. Which I know is a relatively silly number for high level people, but it comes from just 3 clicks per day. Those people who have access to the game during most of the day can easily send 5-6 times, which then doubles the income to around 360 mil per month.

Atlantica Online: COMMANDER's LOOT drop rates based on 438 boxes

2011-05-06T16:13:00.000-07:00

With the support of 17 Atlantians I proudly present to you the drop rates for Commander's Loot's random box and the analysis of the results based on 438 opened boxes.

I think this is a great job on everyone's part and I am quite proud of the outcome.
(Normally no need to send me more data on this, but if you opened many boxes 50+100+ and would like me to update msg me I can do it)

Enjoy!
(if any comments/thanks i'd appreciate if you can post them here rather than pm/mail me ingame)

Atlantica Online: Trio 135 Battle of Red Cliffs (Nicllyq + S4W + G1cannon)

2011-05-04T12:45:00.000-07:00

This was our first attempt of the new 135 Battle of Red Cliffs tbs. With practice we should all get a lot faster / better at it. Also with more mob infos should get easier.

To remind, my might is 1.4 mil and i am far from having +10 items. Nic and S4W are quite more powerful than myself :) However, we (Nic + me) did do this mission again with another guildie, who was weaker then me and we did succeed, so 1-2 relatively strong guys + 1 decent strong guy should work.

Royal feast was on.
20% title was on.
Guild feast was on.

A lot of mob positions are packed groups of 5-6 mobs so very good targets for gun/cannon mercs. I even felt cannon would do better because gun needs a straight line and sometimes the map is designed to block the line of sight. So if I would have a better cannon weapon than gun I think i would select a cannon merc.

Also common sense dictates to keep oracle far from battle, etc, but this does not work, because blessing / res scrolls need the whole pack near each other. Also often you will notice packs of mobs appear on top of you so basically you need to stick as close to one another as possible, which means eating more damage from AOE and similar, but the benefits of protecting each other, healing, etc are greater. "Rescuing" a merc which died far away would be a pain.

Didn't exactly pay attention to traps. We just used scrolls periodically. S4W is the melee and he has great movement and sight so he had the job of scouting, tanking and scrolling. This also means that the other 2 guys don't need to upgrade their sight - waste of money. Just the tank needs to.

Enjoy!

Atlantica Online: 24 EXPEDITION Results ::: EDITION 2 :::

2011-05-02T10:09:00.000-07:00

See below results from 24 Expeditions - the new feature of the 3 Kingdoms patch.

Note my findings:

Careful - expedition is a major scam! The cost of life pots, heal pots, mana pots and most of all 10+ atlas per merc for repair FAR outdoes the income from expedition
The only solution is to use +10 items only as they don't have durability, but as you know that costs a lot, even if you use low level +10s
Another option is to use max level 100 items because the repair stones are cheap (relatively speaking)
Alternatively you can choose to pay and receive experience in return, but with "normal" items this is a loss making enterprise
I found out late that Health and Mana potions must be in the first 2 potion slots of each of the mercenaries!
in any other slot they just don't use them! So in all results you see "no other pots" is because I was either not using potions or putting them in the wrong slots

Atlantica Online: Solo 120 Spy Hunt Squad Mode

2011-04-29T01:57:00.000-07:00

So this was the first attempt of the new Spy Hunt tbs. With practice we should all get a lot faster / better at it. Also with more mob infos should get easier.

To remind, my might is 1.4 mil and i am far from having +10 items.

Feast was off. Energizer title.

I think this tbs can be done very quick. In theory you can run in, kill boss 1 then die (cata at base sitting), res at base, heal up and go kill boss 2. Maybe people with melee main can use melee x 4 and run in with speed upgrade while guarding on the way. Other mains can still shoot or use potions / blessing on the way. It is a theory to be tested, but I think we will find a way to do this much faster than 35 minutes.
Its a theory still to be tested.

A lot of mob positions are packed groups of 5-6 mobs so very good targets for gun/cannon mercs. I even felt cannon would do better because gun needs a straight line and sometimes the map is designed to block the line of sight. So if I would have a better cannon weapon than gun I think i would select a cannon merc.

I see a lot more flame traps than net traps in new tbs missions.

Sight helps a lot to get a nice shot at those setup enemy mobs. Because once they scramble you gotta pick em off 1 at a time sometimes, so this slows you down.

I am still a lot more afraid of regular tbs bow/cannon mobs than any of the new tbs mobs. I didn't really feel any of the new tbs mobs were a major threat. I more felt they all gotta be dealt with, but didn't really avoid / protect vs. a specific one in particular.

Enjoy!

Atlantica Online: Solo 125 Xio Qiao's Escort Squad Mode

2011-04-28T12:32:00.000-07:00

So this was the first attempt of the new Escort tbs. With practice we should all get a lot faster / better at it. Also with more mob infos should get easier.

To remind, my might is 1.4 mil and i am far from having +10 items.

Feast was on. Tea party. Bard title.

I didn't realize you keep getting helper mobs on your side. They keep spawning, same like the enemy and basically you are in the middle of it. They do not however go all the way, but just to the bridge.

The catapult-like mobs have a big range.

A lot of mob positions are packed groups of 5-6 mobs so very good targets for gun/cannon mercs. I even felt cannon would do better because gun needs a straight line and sometimes the map is designed to block the line of sight. So if I would have a better cannon weapon than gun I think i would select a cannon merc.

Catapult is a lot stronger than regular tbs but still dies if unprotected.

4 mercs total (1+3) also gives a lot of room for different strategies.
2 favorits to start with are:

main + gun/cannon + 2 oracles for mass seth
main + gun/cannon + druid + oracle for BS + seth

Those people who do not have a debuff can now easily bring arty.

I see a lot more flame traps than net traps in new tbs missions.

Sight helps a lot to get a nice shot at those setup enemy mobs. Because once they scramble you gotta pick em off 1 at a time sometimes, so this slows you down.

I am still a lot more afraid of regular tbs bow/cannon mobs than any of the new tbs mobs. I didn't really feel any of the new tbs mobs were a major threat. I more felt they all gotta be dealt with, but didn't really avoid / protect vs. a specific one in particular.

Atlantica Online: Huarong Pass 20 Battles - Skirmish 126

2011-04-27T16:26:00.000-07:00

Checking out the new skirmish after the patch.

I was not so happy about he loot, I expected more, especially given there are 7 mobs per mob instead of 6.
BUT it seems a great place to JP evil extract quite easily.
There also seems to be again less than 12 slots which is always nice for JP purposes.
It was more funny with those big catapult guys.
The mini-boss seems to be VERY mean, but do note I don't have any mob info yet and no defence title.
I think the exp and workload were nice, correct for this place and nice enough for me to grind if i dont wanna worry too much about higher skirmishes.

I am not in uber equipment, far from it, my might is 1.4 mil. But a lot of that might is in the weapons as I always prioritise weapons over anything else.

Atlantica Online: all Insignias available inside the game

2011-04-17T00:36:00.000-07:00

I found in my old directory the list of all insignias available inside Atlantica Online. I don't even remember where I took it from, so credits go to the original source - sorry I don't remember who you are.

For those who forgot / do not know, insignias are the "logos" guilds can get and they appear on top of every character in the game belonging to that guild.

Atlantica Online: Making even more money from your TBS Missions

2011-04-14T16:34:00.000-07:00

In Atlantica Online TBS Missions there is a small trick to earn more than just your regular mission run. Its obvious but probably many did not think about it.

There are certain missions (here examples of HP and FT) where there are gates spawning mobs every about 5-6 turns. When running your mission you can choose to "farm" these.

Now in these examples you for sure want to take out Gate One, otherwise your mission may be in danger, but given that everything is going ok and you are ahead of time you can easily "farm" Gate Two locations by simply quickly skipping turns and keep killing the mobs that come out of the gates.

In Flame Thrower for example 3 mobs come out of Gate 2. A cannon, a bow and a sword. Sometimes I see an extra bow. If you ambush this spawn with your mercs (+seth) you get to kill these mobs and loot.

The loot can be something silly of course, but as you know in missions the drop rates are way better. You can farm Evil Imprints, Divine Boxes and more.

Given that you have practiced the mission a lot and are comfortable with it, you can take some time farming these locations and then complete the mission.

Can easily cash in at least 20-30 mil extra if not a whole lot more.

Atlantica Online: Solo Flamethrower Squad Mode TBS Mission by G1cannon

2011-03-27T13:08:00.000-07:00

Here is another video of me soloing squad version of FT. I have become a lot better with practice, also I have improved my equipment on those 3 mercs since the 1st video and I have learned tricks of making the whole video in 1 small file, so there are no part 1, 2, 3, etc.

So as usual it is important to take out that first gate as soon as possible to reduce mobs spawning.

I have also started to seth my catapult a lot more than mercs. I feel it works better as it can shoot from far safely.

I still sometimes forget to remove traps with scrolls.

I am using now the same Nix+10 cannon, but I got a +7 Evil Gun for my jani now and my oracle wears a little stronger armor. Still on the armor side I am in average DG +3. I have improved the rings though, they are +7 to +10 endurance.

With learning I think a person with +2+3 DG armors and 6ish weapons can do it. Also if your weapons are weaker you can use seth catapult more as everyone's cata is equal in strength. I feel gun mercs works best as can target more than 1.

The traps I am putting around are just level 1 cheap traps, I put them because they are cheap and if needed i can hide behind them.

(Sound is the same sound from the game from atlantica.ndoorsgames.com)

Atlantica Online: TBS Mission Last Stand Squad Mode

2011-03-26T11:08:00.000-07:00

This is a standard run of TBS Mission Last Stand with a squad of 4 people.

Atlantica Online: (fun) 2 mercs survive vs. 6 mob in VG131

2011-03-24T14:41:00.000-07:00

Just a funny video of 2 of my mercs managing to survive in skirmish VG 131 vs. 6 mobs.

This kind of situation happens often when people do autobattle and forget to look at the screen periodically because doing other stuff in the house. In most cases you just die, but in this case I managed to catch in time and survive probably because of the stupid AI :)

Still you can learn the tricks of using obstacles to your advantage :)

Atlantica Online: Grinding 131 + Leveling Merc

2011-03-23T14:51:00.000-07:00

Just a video for fun of me grinding in 131 and leveling up a Class D gunner a few levels.

Viewers can learn from this:

a) an example formation that works best in skirmish
b) you can patrol mobs and pick the enemy formation that suits you (although here i am doing it mostly for display) and
c) how to easily level up any new mercenaries.

Atlantica Online: Dismantle of +10 nix VIDEO ONLY

Atlantica Online: G1cannon Solo TBS Mission Hidden Power Squad Mode

2011-03-17T11:00:00.000-07:00

This is my 1st ever solo run and success on HP - I still have much to learn to improve. I won on 14 seconds left only. Enjoy.

Notice you have to take care because of the bugs in TBS that Ndoor is not fixing for many months now. Here you will see my display driver crashed which happens to me a lot in AO only and took long for my black screen to recover and my PT was wiped.

I show my equipment in the end. I am around 1.2m might. With learning I think a person with very low DG/Nix armors and average DG/Nix weapons can do it.

I think HP is challenging map.

Also if your weapons are weaker you can use seth catapult more as everyone's cata is equal in strength. I feel gun mercs works best as can target more than 1.

The traps I am putting around are just level 1 cheap traps, I put them because they are cheap and if needed i can hide behind them.

Notice especially how I use my cata to take out the enemy stones.
Do not stress out if the rain / flooding do not stop - keep fighting and skipping turns fast if needed. Bridge will come up sooner or later.
If you can help the AI fights survive longer is good - they are a great meatshield for you.
Always check on horse to make sure its ok, because some invisible mob may appear and kill it and you fail.
Horse is kind of tough-ish, so if needed use it as a meatshield, but do not overdo it.
Buffs as usual a good title like 20 attack / 20-15 defense + feast + buff from guild.

Atlantica Online: G1cannon Solo TBS Mission Saving Helen Squad Mode

2011-03-16T22:50:00.000-07:00

This is my 2nd time success on HELEN - I already improved a lot vs. my 1st run, but still can improve more. Enjoy.

Notice you have to take care because of the bugs in TBS that Ndoor is not fixing for many months now.

I show my equipment in the end. I am around 1.2m might. With learning I think a person with very low DG/Nix armors and average DG/Nix weapons can do HELEN. I find HELEN an easier and plesant TBS. Also if your weapons are weaker you can use seth catapult more as everyone's cata is equal in strength.

I feel a druid is more needed if you are weaker to intercept horse. Otherwise you can take a gun merc.

The traps I am putting around are just level 1 cheap traps, I put them because they are cheap and if needed i can hide behind them.

Other points:

In the start I thought I could pass without aggroing mobs, so why you see me trying to sneak.
I havent learned all trap places yet.
I forgot to seth boat, so why i had to get out.
Helen's boat is tough, but its good to help.
Landing at boss can be done better in 1 go to fully unload behind pillars.
Buffs as usual a good title like 20 attack / 20-15 defense + feast normally but this run i did not use feast (I wanted to see if I can do it) + buff from guild.

Atlantica Online: How to level up new mercs FAST when you are high level?

2010-12-31T05:23:00.000-08:00

I will break this article into 2 parts: The main leveling job + Improvements that help.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The main leveling job:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The fastest way to level up a new merc is to have that merc in your formation but hidden and go to a lower level skirmish where you kill very fast. The result screen will show you that the new merc got zero experience, however you will see that it does get experience. As I am writing this my formation is killing in Lijiang village skirmish and my noob merc is getting 12k around exp per fight.

The experience that the new merc gets is capped, so no point killing the hardest you can kill. The more levels the new merc gets the more exp it will start to accept per fight.

Naturally if you have read my TBS grinding article, it is best to have an all range party with rang and pricess for the fastest killing in skirmish and this is especially true for low level grinding to waste as little time moving as possible. It is also quite nice to have this on auto battle as i have right now.

At a certain point (which I don't care to spend many hours to discover) the new merc can benefit more from a higher level skirmish. I suggest you stay in the lower level one as long as you can visually see the new merc rising all the time. Once you see her experience bar is not moving much then this is where you must go to higher skirmish level.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Improvements that help
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

There are a bunch of things you can do to speed that up even more.
(in random order)

1) If you kill super fast use a title like Kind for highest exp %. If you could kill faster then choose the highest attack title because the rate of killing is more important than the title exp %.

2) Get into an LDP with high level people who are grinding Village and above skirmishes. For each fight that they finish you will be getting around 100k experience (is what I see on my friend's level 60ish party which is LDP with me right now). This is actually a lot of experience and over hours is millions of experience. If you can get 2 such people to feed you on top of your grinding = super.

3) If you have a house, rest in your bed for whatever % exp bonus that you get from your house.

4) Shout out asking who is about to level. Add them to your friend's list and when they level you will get +10% experience bonus.

5) Creating a feast or participating in a feast will give you attack bonus which will make you kill faster which will make you earn exp faster.

6) Blessing licence of course is super to have and will give and 50% more attack and 50% more experience.

7) The weekend exp bonus of 150% or 200% of regular of course helps a lot too.

8) And do not forget to leave the new merc at home when you afk so that you can give gifts when you are not active (unless your nice LDP friends are pumping you).

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Leveling new mercs is one of the most fun things I find in AO. I have about 20 mercs I think and most top people if you ask you will see have also like 20 mercs. This is not just for fun but we use the correct mercs in the different situations to kill faster, easier, better.

And to finish up I did now 20 auto battles in Lijiang Villange while I wrote this article and my new merc is level 26 and my level 60 friend got 2.3 million exp from me.

Atlantica Online: G1cannon's FAST Grind Edition 2: TBS 131 Skirmish (for non-uber people)

2010-11-27T18:52:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone. In this Edition 2 of FAST GRINDING I wanna share with you how I grind tbs skirmish using an all range party. Here you can see how to grind in TBS 131 skirmish.

This is FAST grinding, fights take just seconds most of the time. I have average armor, i think +4 is the highest (armor) and +0+1 other parts. I have 3 strong mercs (focused on them for TBS missions), which is the main, cannon and rang and all others are semi-naked / dark / freeze / whatever i had. Even before i used the bee gun when i was training the formation.

Most importantly what I am showing you can be done with just regular class D gunners/cannons. The main reason why it works is because of hwarang aura.

The ideal formation was the one i saw on youtube with 7 gunners, rang and princess, but the guy had +10 shotguns and other +10 items so that was uber. Since most of us are not uber, we can just aim in the uber direction. The good news for you is that a completely naked merc can do 2-3k damage just because of rang aura, so keep everyone within 2 squares of rang.

I also want to add that the point is not to replace your main party. The point is to have an efficient grinding formation for the highest reward in the game which is in tbs skirmish. It has the highest exp, workload, rewards than any other place in the game. So this "work horse" formation has only 1 purpose = to grind and sponsor your main formation with which you PvP, etc.

I also adapted - I am cannon main and already had high level cannoneer also as well as a PVE arty. I also wanted to level up my empress. So i used 3 cannons, 2 guns (janis which I already had level 120+), rang, empress, princess and oracle. The oracle I have found to be a must to have for anyone who is not uber. I literally can solo only because of oracle in many fights in TBS 131.
So adapt but try to be as close to the ideal formation as possible because any difference versus ideal reduces your efficiency.

Below I made 3 videos for you, kind of my best examples of my fast TBS 131 grinding. It does not always go as good as here. Other times 1-2 other mobs join in and it takes longer + oracle res. And some rare times i do die, which is totally ok in tbs skirmish because you dont lose anything - you actually gain for whatever you did manage to kill.

Lastly, once you become expert at this you will realize it matters exactly where in the formation each merc stands (cannons front) and if you are cannon heavy like me it makes sense to select cross formation mobs to attack (immediately 5 get hit) and also you may realize it matters a lot which merc is after which mercs in the order so to make you fight faster.

Atlantica Online: G1cannon's House Items Craft List: EDITION 4

2010-11-13T16:33:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone, in this post I am sharing with you my own list for house items (furniture and decorations and floors) which require various materials from the house facilities as well as other items to manufacture.

The craft requirements and costs I have in a separate Excel sheet and here I only extract the total cost of crafting these items which you can see in the cost columns. Of course the prices which are behind each item are of my server's (DE) present prices (October 2010).

A lot of work has gone to make this list that I am just handing to you - hope its appreciated. Enjoy.

Please take into account level 5 hammer cost of 100k which I did not incorporate in the list, not to distort things.

Most likely you will not see the full picture, so click on the picture then zoom in!
If u find mistakes mail me (not whisper!) ingame or leave a comment here. Thanks.

Atlantica Online: G1cannon's FAST Grind Edition 1: Lijiang Village Non-TBS

2010-10-30T07:06:00.000-07:00

This is an old video that I forgot to upload, but its valid nonetheless. Here you can see how to grind in Lijiang Village just the first area using the 2 count DOT magic strategy / build.

This is FAST grinding, fights take just few seconds, so it is perfect for anyone who is not walking around with +10 items. Here I have just regular level 60 spells (not level 70) without any charms and you do not need any special equipment, even just +0+1 is fine.

You do need the potion which protects you vs. their magic attacks and the cost of it is not significant compared to all the money you make from the grinding.

Also this is a fast way of burning lots of stamina for higher level players.

Also for those people who do not want to play so actively this is almost like autobattle : immediately skip turn, right click 4 times, loot.

Enjoy.

Atlantica Online: G1cannon's Level 2 Furniture & Decoration Crafting List

2010-10-01T07:23:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, in this post I am sharing with you my own list for Level 1 house items (furniture and decorations) which require regular level mats from the house facility.

A lot of work has gone to make this list that I am just handing to you - hope its appreciated. Enjoy.

Please take into account level 5 hammer cost of 100k which I did not incorporate in the list, not to distort things.

For those who need help on how to use it:
----------------------------------------
REQ = insight level needed for using the item
FIXED COST = for those items which are available on the market at fixed cost how much that is
CRAFT COST = not available on market, this is cost of crafting it (with prices of that day when i made it)
COMFORT / CULTURE = the amount how much that item gives of those things
VALUE FOR MONEY = how much each comfort/culture point will cost in millions
PROFIT/LOSS = how much you will make or lose if you dismantle and sell soul stones
DISMANTLE AVERAGE = based on the data collected how many soul stones you can expect to receive

Atlantica Online: ToXo's JP of Ancient book box of monks (level 100 main skill books)

2010-09-29T14:07:00.000-07:00

ToXo sent me this information to share with you, where he got the Ancient book box of monks inside the JP window and then opened 3 ancient city maps, did ind 105, then ind 101 first floor, then GDC guild dungeon, then VOO guild dungeon in order to fill up the JP with boxes. He also got the nix feathers and divine boxes from Gient Beast of Madness.

His JP window included the following items in addition to the ancient book box of monks:

Item ------- Market Rate ------- Total value

2 nix feathers ------- 1.306m ------- 2.612m
3 divine boxes ------- 5.994m ------- 17.982m
3 freezing boxes ------- 2.617m ------- 7.851m
17 conqueror boxes ------- 1.423m ------- 24.191m
24 volcano vall boxes ------- 0.376m ------- 9.024m

all in all: 61.66m was the total worth of the items if he would sell it in the market at that time

Upon running the JP he received 194 Ancient book box of monks.
He then opened all these boxes and got the following items:

Book ------- lowest market price ------- Total sell value

22 Flame blow ------- 77k ------- 1.694m
33 destructive instinct ------- 2.5m -------82.5m
15 Arrow Cascade ------- 19k ------- 0.38m
25 Chaos Edge ------- 489k ------- 12.225m
20 scorching bullets ------- 32k ------- 0.64m
23 devastation shell ------- 150k ------- 3.45m
23 Flame Spear ------- 9k ------- 0.2m
8 warriors rage ------- 30k ------- 0.24m
25 Requiem ------- 2.2m ------- 55m

All in All 156.329m was the value of all the books that he put for sale on the market, so a 90m profit!

Here I must add that books are normally unpredictable to sell, sometimes they go fast, sometimes very very slow or not at all. But in this specific case ToXo managed to sell the majory of books with 1-2 days.

I also have to remind you that JP uses a random multiplier and we have not verified if ToXo simply got a high multiplier in this case. However, since the profit is so much higher than the cost, I think even with a smaller multiplier it could be a good way of making money.

Thanks again to ToXo for this information and we both hope this will be helpful to people reading this article.

Atlantica Online: Troy Warrior's Loot >> Warrior's Treasure Chest @ TBS 95 ::: Box Chances

2010-09-25T18:13:00.000-07:00

This box Troy Warrior's Loot >> Warrior's Treasure Chest comes from the TBS MISSION of level 95.

This mission is soloable, but you must know the tricks of doing it. The lower the level the more traps are needed. I like net traps myself, but any will do. Upgrades are needed fully if soloing. Also you must play fast, not waste timer. The plan would be to fully upgrade, then attack right side, kill tent for +1 box and then go for boss. If all your mercs die you lose. If your LDP DCs or leaves party you lose.

Anyways, so from the reward (up to 10 boxes per go) you can select silver coins or the warrior treasure chest. This data shows what you would get from either choice, so knowing this make your accurate choice, i.e. Silver Coins at these market prices.

Take care cause market prices fluctuate a lot.

Atlantica Online: Experience earned by level 1 merc from quests

2010-05-22T21:30:00.000-07:00

Short one:

Step 1: New merc level 1 - zero experience
Step 2: complete 1 Wanted Board quest (experience 900,000 reward)
Step 3: received only 155,000 experience for the level 1 - so 17.2% reward only

Atlantica Online: Atlas Ore Adventure

2010-05-21T13:40:00.000-07:00

Atlas ore is a very expensive "pleasure" and is also the only way high level people can raise the power of their weapons.

For those who do not know, Atlas Ore is an Item Mail item costing about 10 USD for 100 atlas ore. Different level and enhancement items use different amounts. For example divine shield +5 uses 40 atlas ore to just try to raise it. Dragon God +5 is 120 atlas ore.

No success is guaranteed and the % chance nobody knows. Luck hugely varies. Some people get an item to +10 with maybe 500-1500 ore and others lose completely. My example here I suppose is somewhere in the middle.

So here is how I spent more than 8 billion.
The good thing is that I did not end up in the negative, but I must admit I was hoping for at least one +10 item.

As a note I did only 1 item quite a lot, most of the time up, down, up, down, and then when ore was finishing and it was getting nowhere I tried to improve other weapons same way.

Atlantica Online: Which Independent Mercs to choose ::: Edition 6

2010-05-19T13:40:00.000-07:00

Here is the 6th Edition of the independent mercenary list I have managed to gather. Use it to decide which mercs to develop and make independent for maximum profit or specific item collection.

(Independent mercs are those you choose to release (and lose) after they reach level 100 or above. They then send you gifts every 6 days but they request presents every day to keep friendship at 100. The responsible NPC is Fugger, near Columbus)

As always mail me in game or post here below if you want to contribute to this or any other analyses for the good of all (e.g. mining, 18, multi hued crys., spear)

Atlantica Online: Getting Lucky Wood from Loki ::: Edition 2

2010-04-22T17:20:00.000-07:00

Lucky Wood in Atlantica Online is a relatively rare item and it is used in some quests, such as title quests where you need 1 or even 5 lucky wood pieces.

I have seen their prices on the market anywhere from 10 million to 50 million and more, so it is safe to say there is no fair price.

So where do you get this item?
Loki drops it and below is the table of me killing Loki, trying to get the box and then trying to get the lucky wood from the box. Now you can judge how easy or difficult this is and therefore what the price of this item should be.

As always feel free to leave your comments - no registration is needed.

Atlantica Online: Estimate of chances from Boxes ::: Edition 1

2010-03-01T04:08:00.000-08:00

In Atlantica Online, as we all know, most things are random, so I thought its quite interesting to gather up a big sample size of popular boxes and see how often different items drop.
This way we can estimate drop rates!!

So below you will find the table I made over a long time. Enjoy and remember, if you are interested in some of the ads you see around this blog, do not be afraid to click them and see what's that all about!

Atlantica Online: Marksburg Castle Guild Dungeon Items

2010-02-13T17:28:00.000-08:00

It is always interesting what you can expect to get from dungeons. Here, I show you the kind of items you can expect Marksburg Castle, which is a Guild Dungeon and can be completed with just a few high people.
Note that even at level 120 you still get some small exp there.

Name Marksburg Castle
Key Key of Lunacy
Time Limit 120 minutes
Cooldown 20 hours
Reward Crazy Lord's Seal x10 (around 650k gold at the moment)
Guild Points 1,200
Nation 20

I JPed here the enhance stones and actually got only around 30, which was rather surprising. I think ndoors may have changed the value of stones.

Atlantica Online: Ornate Treasure Chests & Chances ::: Edition 2

2010-02-07T19:12:00.000-08:00

a.k.a. How to make money - 400k+ every 5 minutes

Hi everyone, so this is the 2nd edition of the which post teaches about using ornate treasure chests for making money or getting what you need. Ornate Treasure chest maps can be gotten from the market or from old treasure boxes (market is easiest). Their price ranges on my server between 20k and 60k per map.

It is very much nice to have a teleport licence to use this method however with transport it is also possible, but this reduces the profit a lot unless you are more lucky to find the special items.

You open the map by right clicking on it which will show you where in the AO world is the treasure chest. You must go to that location within 5 minutes and attack the treasure chest to get the item from it. Below you can see what items you can get from it and how frequent.

I will keep updating this over time to have more sample so it is more accurate the data. Feel free to send me accurate information if you want to help either by posting here or by mailing me in the game.

Atlantica Online: Grinding Aztec Spiders - Good idea?

2010-01-26T16:16:00.001-08:00

For high level players (110+) it is always a curious question where to grind. I tried today going for the Aztec Spiders on autobattle (90% of the time) and I was shocked at the loot I got (was expecting far more) so I thought to share this with everyone so you don't fall into the same mistake.

Update: the spiders are VERY weak versus magic so any AOE team should find it fun here (+ this is why they easy to scroll). Also they are VERY resistant to bows.

Atlantica Online: Everything about fishing

2010-01-23T13:20:00.000-08:00

Fishing in Atlantica Online is a love it or hate it activity. However, following the latest fishing event more people have taken up fishing.

Basics in short:
To try fishing you need a rod and bait and fishing skill (in My Info > Expressions) corresponding to the rod and bait. Once you have this you can go to the only place in AO for fishing -> Hanai Island. To start fishing either right click your rod or click the shortcut V. The fish you collect you hand in to Albert NPC @ Hanai Island who gives you fishing points which you can spend at Pointry NPC @ Rome Bazaar.

And now introducing Everything Fishing:

Atlantica Online: Princess, Cannoneer and bombing campaign

2010-01-11T15:00:00.000-08:00

Bombing campaign is a special combo attack made using princess and the cannoneer. It is very useful in various parts of the game which is why I recommend everyone to have these 2 mercs at least in the merc room if not in the main party.

Separately princess heals all ranged mercs, gives them defense and has skills to block or reduce damage of enemy ranged mercs.

The cannoneer is a cannon merc who can cast smoke bomb. This is a skill which reduces accuracy of all enemy mercs so quite often when they attack your mercs will just dodge.

On top of the above, these 2 mercs combine to produce the devastating bombing campaign. You can see an example and further explanation of it on the below picture story I have prepared for you:

Atlantica Online: How to make money - 100k-300k every 10 minutes

2009-11-28T16:46:00.000-08:00

In this post of Atlantica Online I want to teach people how easy it is to make money. Here I will show you one of the many ways.

This way is for:

"lazy people" chilling in town doing nothing
people who are busy at home and left the char online autocrafting
lower level people for whom this is a lot of money

So how to make money?

Look at the image guide below and see the rumor window - this will guide you in the game which town to go to.
Pretty much any merchant in town is selling something for peanuts + 100% will. Sometimes they are not selling anything, which is fine.
The idea is super simple - buy from merchant and sell to market at a huge profit. Below you see in the image guide I made for you examples of how easy it is to make hundreds of thousands with no effort at all.

Cheers,
G1cannon

Atlantica Online: Jackpot Challenge VIDEO Redemption Crystal

Atlantica Online: 15% seth will 100% of the time ::: Why All Should Have Hwarang

2009-11-10T14:09:00.000-08:00

In this post I want to tell you why everyone should have a Hwarang merc.

Oracle's Seth Will gives, at level 60, factor 54 to multi-hit in PVE and factor 32 to multi-hit in PVP. (Shaman's Brutal Will gives 48 in PVE and 27 in PVP)

These skills maybe you have a chance to use, maybe you don't. If you do, you can only use them on count 3 so anyways, all combat before count 3 happens as regular.

HOWEVER, if you have Hwarang merc with level 60 Aura then all your ranged mercs (I'm especially looking at the awesome damage dealing Jani) receive 463-779 to their attack as well as factor 7 for PVE or factor 4 for PVP to the multiple hits.

This means that just by being present Hwarang is supplying all ranged merc with almost 15% seth 100% of the time (as the skill is a passive skill).

Therefore the ranged mercs will shoot more times and harder and this makes your party exponentially stronger than it is.

The above is especially true for PVE and less so for PVP because players can target/kill Hwarang and utilize a huge number of other strategies. But in PVE it is a huge bonus to use Hwarang.

EDIT: It is also important to note that with seth/brutal will you lose control of your mercs, but with hwarang aura you have full control of them.

¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦

As a secondary point, the higher one gets in level the more seems important to take out a specific mob in a group (drunken armadillos, bandits and ladies, poison snakes, sly goblins, etc) therefore a structure with hwarang for PVE and different from PVP will be more efficient.

Example:

WALL - WALL - WALL <--- healed by prophet (e.g. VIK*/SPARTAN/PIRATE)
HWARANG - PROPHET - JANI <--- strong damage MAIN - HEALER - AWAKENER <---- Range main would work best** *Vik meant for "crowd control" whereas spartan/pirate add to spike/point damage
**Healer and awakener can be completely replaced but more damage or other as situation needs, i.e. if you don't need a monk/punisher you can add an archer for extra spike or a healer for heal while other healer seths.

Atlantica Online: Item Analysis results and formula ::: FINAL Edition

2009-11-01T10:03:00.000-08:00

ok and also to add
in case anyone needs the formula for the return you get on item analysis is:

Analysis Exp = (workload / 50) * (1.6^Enchant Level) * Multiplier

this means that the higher the item class AND the higher the enchantment + then the more experience you will receive.

But note that sometimes its much cheaper to get a high + lower class item. For example its far more cost effective to analyse divine instead of nix.

Enjoy.

Atlantica Online: Items received from independent mercs ::: Edition 2

Atlantica Online: Jackpot Challenge 19k Giant Crystals

2009-10-26T07:33:00.001-07:00

Hi, I want to share with you an example of using Jackpot licence in Atlantica Online to Jackpot Challenge (JP) Giant Crystals for upgrades of mercenaries such as spartan who use up a lot of them.

The below was achieved after a 4 hour non stop grinding in Goonzu World using 2 bewitch mobs 95% of the time in the 2nd level of Goonzu (in the left downstairs area).

I also have data, thanks to "BloodyProsty" that a very similar JP resulted in more than 35k crystals, so we understand that this was lucky to get a very high multiplier and the current one is either "normal" or low multiplier. (There is a hidden multiplier in JP)

The profit using today's market prices I calculated is 617,130,000 gold. So its very interesting. However its not realistic to sell anywhere near this amount on the market at stable price so taking half would be more realistic - so 300 million profit.

(please mail me in the game with your JP success so I can improve my JP database. Approximate is ok. Expensive items is ok, all items not needed.)

Atlantica Online: Looking at VITALITY and MDEF trade-off

2009-10-25T03:57:00.001-07:00

Part 1: very simply looking at how much health you gain in in FL battle taking Northern Viking as an example. Remember the higher the vitality the bigger the health grows - it is exponential, not linear. So below you see +631 vitality gets you 4550 health.

Part 2: is more complicated, but not too much. Here we look at the trade-off between health and mdef. Here there are few learnings:

a) From the "intelligence" naked viking to the fully geared viking you can see the vast increase in MDEF which is coming purely from intelligence points from all the items.

b) Adding intelligence to viking in pic #3 gives him an additional 20 MDEF. From 426 this is an increase of 4.7% MDEF, however at the same time he sacrifices health -3.8%. Therefore we can see that we have a choice to be made. One could put tons of intelligence on viking thereby increasing the MDEF which would work really good vs. magic attack enemies OR one could fill him up with health but then the viking will take more damage from magic attacks and also he will take more damage from the fatigue which is based on the max health to the best of our understanding.
- Should we take 200 MDEF or 1k+ health?
- There is no right and wrong answer here. Personally I believe more towards health as one can never predict what enemy one will have.

Atlantica Online: Analysing Effect of Intelligence on Damage of Spells

2009-10-19T23:18:00.000-07:00

We tested (and thanks to Tindari for helping to test) to see what is the effect of intelligence (like using rings) on the damage spells make.

Below you see the slight increase of tick damage from elem spells but same 1800 initial damage because its doing -vitality and not actual damage. But I would say the increase in tick damage for the effort put in intelligence is negligible.

And second you see from arrow cascade again what I think to be a negligible increase in damage from the considerable increase in intel.

It is important to know that whatever the additional damage comes from increments of 75 intel. So 822 intel we got 1024 tick damage but 827 intel it was 1033 damage. This is because 75 x 10 = 750 intel and another 75 intel >>> 750 + 75 = 825 intel.

Thus I recommend not to use any intel gear or rings for any kind of spellcasters. This recommendation is valid on the 20th of October 2009.

Update: we did some more tests to check the effect on healing. We observed healing 3133 vs. 3206 with and without 480 intel. So the difference was only 73 healing for a wooping 480 intel. Again, for me this is negligible amount for the investment.

Update 2 (26th of Jan 2010): I was informed about other players who did also tests and discovered that there is no difference to the magic attack of many skills with or without intelligence boosting equipment. In the following forum thread you can see 16/19 people agreeing that there is no impact whatsoever on damage from intelligence.
(Thanks to Promethus for sharing his feedback)

Atlantica Online: Example of an all ranged build

2009-10-19T16:06:00.001-07:00

Not saying this is good or bad. Just interesting - food for thought.
(note this is a build from a high div 1-3 i can't remember probably made for auto battle FL)

Below you see an example I observed of an all ranged build (main could be ranged also), which of course gives the advantage of princess healing all and making everyone shoot harder and more accurate. If Hwarang was there then the bonus on ranged mercs attack would be even greater.

Of course on the down side the "wall" probably can not hold very well...
but this sure is an all out offense build and at the least very interesting to think about for people who enjoy strategy.

Please leave any feedback below.
