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

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

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)

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 :::

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

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

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: EXPEDITION Results ::: EDITION 1 :::

See below results from Expeditions - the new feature of the 3 Kingdoms patch.
I will release more results as I make em.

Atlantica Online: Huarong Pass 20 Battles - Skirmish 126

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
