The Scribe #24

Information of interest:

- The Forgotten are also investigating the Realm of Torment
- The mentioned 'gems' will not be rubies, sapphires or diamonds.
- Change to Miniature Varesh

I'm guessing there's your entrance prerequisite?

I guess you will need a certain Lightbringer rank to get into the new area. I'm placing my bet on R3 or R4 to get into the normal area and maybe a higher rank to get into the Elite mission?

ANET Is obviously, now, preparing themselves to introduce the elite mission with small tidbits. I'm still thinking on the gems, because there are really no more mysteries with what kind of materials armors need. I can't wait!, Also... of all the times to upgrade Varesh, its on the day after I sell it

Lightbringer seems to be the best bet. At least it'll decrease the LB rank discrimination, as everyone will need to be a decent rank just to get in.

What I find strange is that this article talks of it as if it's already in the game. I doubt it is, though, they said around Christmas, which just confuses the hell out of me.

Yes, Nightfall has a server-side data system, that will let anet open and close events from server-side, and the elite mission was added in the last few patches in small bits over time, so that the alpha testers can access and test the zone before they open it to the public.

Now it may be a rank8 to get there, so don't get me wrong, if they did open this,then they have a lot of happy people, like my self who only got Nightfall for the elite mission.

Changes to Varesh-Good work Anet!

i did a something on this already i say the gems are used for weapons in the elite mission or even armor

Must...not...rebuy...varesh.......*twitch.Oh its gonna be so hard *cries* lol.im makin progress so i can get to the new area when its released.

It may require FOW armor and beating a boss who is only vulnerable to 15^50 req7 crystalline swords to get there too.

But on second thoughts...

I'm quite sure that he was talking about the "exclusive" area in the Chantry of Secrets. This would make sense, as currently there is nothing of worth in there. Also, you can only enter after you beat the game on that character.

According to a previous Gaile comment, the Mini Varesh will gain a scythe. Nothing special.

And the LB Rank requirement to enter the Elite Mission better be LB Rank 4, since that's the most reasonable, since you hit R4 if you do all the quests in the Realm of Torment. If it's any higher (there's a HUGE gap between R4 and R5), then there will be complaining.

Once again: the damn exclusive area in the Chantry of Secrets is only there for lore!

...and who do I have to sleep with in order to get into the Random Acts of Kindness?

I'm very happy about Varesh. She was a bit of a disappointment.


EDIT to add ---> I'll nominate you Syria...if I can figure out how. I've seen your helpfulness first hand.

I have a feeling this may be the reason you're not in there.

Do what I do to try and get into the random acts of kindness, pray to the new god of secrets.

Don’t forget she also stated that other means or gaining rank to Light bringer and Suns Spear track would be made available in the upcoming update other then the method of being afk. What is unclear is whether or not those alternative methods will be in realm or torment is anyone’s guess.

I was being facetious.

Is it just me or does anyone think the elite mission will not be the last major “add on area” for Nightfall. Besides the last hero, I’ve (not to mention other within the GW community) been seeing way to many other cracks here and there in Nightfall; that kind of felt like they are brick walls holding back people to under construction areas. One of these I’m talking about is Vabbi; in the Bazaar itself there is a record keeper, which does not give any information about any thing in particular. Another thing was the diamonds rare marital, which never had a real distinctive purpose. I know they could be used later on in campaign four or so on, because like the jewel’s that came before them; also had no real purpose all the way from prophecies. However why have different types of jewels, when diamonds are different enough already (I think it’s just odd). The same goes for those other fallen celestials like Dhuum and Menzies, who helped Abbandon by sending their lackeys in his last hours, never showed up themselves (they could also be in campaign 4).

I’m defiantly not trying to get your hopes ups, but the curiosity does stem the mind. If campaign 4 is a whole new step in a trilogy, most of the odds and ends (especially for some of the in game items) should be rapped up by now.

Quoting the Scribe: Please do not mistake these gems for the sapphires, rubies, and diamonds used in armor crafting.

Diamonds used in armor crafting? Mmmm? They are adding a new armor?

You'll probably find the QA team are busy running with it, and are the only ones who can enter
