Just curious to see how many people unlocked the entire set of nightfall skills as i did. With the addition of the flames, this was quite an easy task. I am finally unlocked in prophecies, factions, and now nightfall.

Quite an easy task? I read there were ~110 skills plus an additional 10 elites, on top of the host of weapon mods and 8(?) sets of runes.

That'd be:

140k faction for the skills
36k faction for the runes
~24k (guessing) for the mods

So around 200k faction to unlock everything. Say you earned 6 medallions every game, which was worth 6/50 * 1000, or 120 faction. And you earned 130 faction for a flawless victory... so 250 faction per game. So that's 800 games. At 2 minutes a game, that's 1600 minutes, or 26+ hours.

How many medallions did you buy?

I think I earned about 30k faction this weekend.

You haven't unlocked ALL of the Nightfall stuff... maybe all the runes and equipment and MOST of the skills but you can't have unlocked all of them since they were missing quite a few skills for each class.

There will be 75 new skills for each class 15 of which will be elites. Unfortunately for your achievment there were 15 skills from the Dervish skill line that were missing, (8 elites and 7 regular skills.)
I haven't had the time to count the Paragon skills yet but there were quite a few missing there aswell.

So you haven't finished yet.

I unlocked all the dervish non-elite, half the paragon non-elite, all the runes, and some of the weapon mods, about 120k faction in all.

Ok wait wait.... you completely just contradicted yourself.

By the few million, I'm hoping you mean gold and not balt faction (given its max at 10k stored ><. A few million gold... ok, so you have multiple accounts with max gold and you don't pve? How does that happen.... ebay?

There is no way anybody unlocked everything legitly from nightfall. The ladder is young so even number 1 on the ladder still has a relatively low rating so they aren't spittin out 6k faction per victory yet. Even spittin outta 6k faction per victory that would be the most efficient way and be completely rediculous. You would have to GvG more tha iQ did when they won the GWFC slot.

I spent all weekend in HA and RA and only unlocked maybe a fourth of the dervish non elites, balt avatar, vamp mod, fortitude and enchant mods, sup mysticism/minor the rest, most of the paragon spear attacks, zealous and fortitude mods for spear.

If you unlocked everything, yay for you, I made 70k off people dumb enough to unlock every skill in which most of them are useless.

Lol why would you spend money to unlock useless skills? Its one thing when you have all the useful skills and still getting faction. This seems more of a gloating post where your average moron calls BS.

I unlocked a handful of builds I wanted to test - based on one of the prefabs, usually, so I didn't have to unlock more than two-three skills per build. I unlocked the support options to go with them, but that really amounted to just a couple of Superior runes and some Vampiric weapon mods, nothing huge.

...Day two I decided I'd refined my Dervish and Paragon enough and just spent the rest of the weekend's bounty on random non-Nightfall unlocks that I can actually use for the next two-three months.

If they do it the same as Factions, there will be 25 new skills for the 6 core proffs and also 75 skills for the Dervish and Paragon. In the event they hadnt made all the Dervish and Paragon skills nor did they add any skills for the core professions. You still have about 180 skills to unlock(which includes roughly 75 elites).

Yes million gold. You don't need ebay or multiple accounts to have a few million. Use common sense money is not hard to get.

come one man, thats uncalled for. I think lots of people played a lot more than they usually do for the PvP Weekend... who are you to judge someone... (youre on these forums...?)

It wasnt hard to rack up 100 medals in an hour or less. Saturday was a good day to sell- was selling flames for 5k each (lol) so I ended up making about 20k and using that to get even more drunk.

Firewater is like twice as powerful as ale or wine FTW
---------------------------------------------------
personally I spent about 10k faction and got really really really really drunk!!


I didnt really want to unlock anything but a few spear attacks and some of the Avatars (am i the only one to actually use and like Vow of Silence??)

ok I'm only rank5, 897 fame, been that way for prolly 5 months. Anybody remember sissy boys when they created ele smiting? Yeah I won halls prolly 30 times in a matter of days and never saw a single crystalline or dwarven axe drop period.

And how the hell do are you sposed to have a few million on a single account, you can only have 1 million in storage and 600k total on every other char unless you bought 30 more char slots to store gold on.

Um, did you not notice that the only Nighfall skills they gave us acess to were for Dervishes and Paragons? There are still all the new Core profession skills to be unlocked. That's 6 more professions.

I unlocked a very large portion of the Paragon stuff.
I only unlocked a few things for builds on the Dervish.

I unlocked some items, but not a majority of them.

I spent a lot of faction, but hey, that's what the medalions were for... you win, you unlock more, right away. Every 50 medalions (10 wins or less if flawless) = one new unlocked skill.

It's not that hard to unlock it all.

Plus, did you notice how cheap people were selling Medalions?
50g a pop is nothing if you're into spending a very small amount of money to unlock a very large portion of skills that others will not have due to the limited time span of the event. It's fun to try things, use them, and it's just like a race anyways.

Ectos count as cash; at 7k per, a stack of 250 is worth 1.75 mil. Black dyes can also be used to store money...but I wouldn't; price seems too finicky to me.

What exactly is the point ?

I will be unlocking the skills as I play through the proffesions when the game is released.

So not only have you spent all this gold on unlocking them for pvp you will need to spend alot of gold (and time) unlocking them for PvE also!

I guess if your a pvp player only, fair enough, even then though, your leaving yourself nothing to do on Nightfall release..

I hate it when I have full faction and nothing to unlock.. seems an utter waste.

I only unlocked all runes and a few mods and a few dervish skills/elites for my use during the weekend. I stocked up on flames to unlock the rest of the mods but all the other skills i will get through pve (much faster and cheaper in the long run)

Not everyone plays PvE, Snowman. I haven't made it past the second mission in Factions on any character. Haven't had much desire. But I've spent at least 50 hours playing an Assassin in RA, and another 100+ hours messing with various other Factions-only skills.

as I said, if your a pvp-only player.. fair enough!

Still, I would hate to buy Nightfall knowing that I had unlocked all the skills already..

oh, and, if you intend on only playing pvp.. then you miss out on the pvp that is fort aspen and jade quarry, loads more interesting than RA!

in fact, nearly every serious pvp player I know eventually makes pve character because they are fed up with the boring and standard looking armors and weapons.. not to mention the tactical benefits of being able to weild 4 weapons sets, and being able to swap your armor around to suit your situation.

I dont know what nightfall will bring, but certainly they will try and integrate pvp and pve more and more, and I for one would like to wait and see and enjoy the game at a relaxed pace before rushing around unlocking everything beforehand.

Sigh, it's the join date of this forum, not the game. I've been playing since the BWE's, but my joindate here is quite noobish. And ppl have joined other forums like guild-hall and guru....

I spent 124,000 faction on nightfall. I am UAX in phrophecies and factions.

I unlocked all runes and weapon mods for both classes, all dervish elites, all but 4 non-elite mysticism skills, all earth skills and about 4 air skills.

The rest I will probably just buy with a PvE character when the game is actually released.

I'd rather spend 1 day unlocking everything because of the limited time frame on the medallions. You can wait till the release of Nightfall and take 2-3 weeks unlocking everything.

I'll already have all the weapon, runes, and new class skills unlocked.

So I think I have more time for my real life than this game once nightfalls is released.

Unlocking all wouldn't be that hard... I personally got about half of all of it in about 2 days. GvG gave about 46 medals per win + 1200ish Faction...

It's not hard to get faction when you exploit a broken class/build.
