charr hidden battles plans
tracydunklee
Can anyone tell me about the battles plans that was dropped during the pre-view weekend. Are they encryptyed hidden messages or random meaningless letters?
Sasuke The Betrayer
These currently have no use, although it'd be awesome if they dropped, and when given to the leader of the vanguard, she would give you like 500 points...
cthulhu reborn
It's anybody's guess at the moment. I have one of em and intend to hold on to it. You never know what they can be good for.

I think Sasuke has the right idea, probably much like the Koris Deeprunner map piece quest. Maybe unlocking another quest afterwards?
I Am Gir
more interesting though, is it decodable or a plain letter-mix with no meaning behind it?

Why? Once the quest is finished / fixed I'm sure they'll add them back in.
Painbringer
I just did a quest for charr battle plans? But I did not read them I just turned them in. The NPC sin gave me the quest. Probably something different.

I have put those throught multiple decrypters and none of them can solve it.
Shiishii Momo
Well, it can be solved, which is to say that there are multiple words within the quote. For instance, the first word could be equally or forseen or about 500 other words. The problem is that most probably there is a word or name in the quote that does not match a known english word, and it throws off the whole translation. I'll keep working on it.
Kale Ironfist
Linsey Murdock said that only a few of the words actually correspond to english words. The rest is just gibberish.

Well, got one to go to Flame Temple Corridor. Got a measly 70 Vanguard points. I don't remember there being a bounty guy in the mission itself, so either the bounty carries over into these, or they're a waste of time. Or, at least, the Flame Temple Corridor one is.
Acehigh
I just did the Grendich Courthouse one and got 70 points also. The mini-missions give points towards the''Eye of the North'' title track which is an upside.
AlienFromBeyond
Yeah, just realized that myself. I assume you can't get points for a specific location more than once. Anyone have a plans decoded to Grendich or Dragon's Gullet?
seut
put the plans into decoder
try decoding..
leave plans in decoder and speak to Captain Langmar
accidently started it without a complete group

Well, I just helped someone do Dragon's Gullet and I got no additional mastery points. Either you need to be the one with the plans, or you can only get the points once for doing special ops as a whole.
EDIT: The thought on wiki is that maybe the Snowman and Fronis dungeons now give points.
EDIT2: It's true, it's merely that the "joke" dungeons are now worth points. Guess these mini-missions aren't worth doing after all.

Make sure your ready to do it, I clicked the quest just to look at it while I was solo. Then resigned and it disappeared. It seems you only get one try per battle plan, because I couldn't go back in.

Yeah I did this too. However, me and some friends farmed Charr Invaders for like 2 hours tonight (4 of us, rest heroes) and we did manage to snag one, so they're dropping. Sadly I didn't think of snagging a screen shot of it though.
Anyone else notice where they're dropping and what kinda drop rate you're getting?

That's a shame, guess I'll go back and edit my posts.
Pupu
finished one mission and got only 70 points after killing the ele smoke charr boss :/ hopefully theirs more to this
reverse_oreo
So, i was in the preview weekend, did a lot too. Never got any of those charr battle plans. So, because i didnt get any of them, i cant participate in this? Lame.
Acehigh
Lyra said in the Update thread that the battle plans drop again now, so yeah you can participate. Just farm the crap out of Charr.
J snukka
i killed 100 char so far and got no battle plans. WTF I guess ill try again. but do i need to look for a specific commander? or any charr?
GloryFox
I found some secret plans
My secret decoder says it reads:
"Fill up your hall of monuments by buying purchasing Guild Wars Gold at http//***.*******.*** " and the rest is gibberish
Happy Grinding..
From the Devs.
So I dumped it in the trash of course.

Yeah, once you see the quest rewards you wonder if you should even try it. Seems hardly worth...but hey, might be fun to do if I get really bored at some point.
Darkpower Alchemist
I've found 2 different battleplans so far, and they just increased the reward apparently, so it's a clever diversion. 100 Charr in the Dragon's Gullet, casing Charr legion leaders in the Flame Temple Corridor...what's next?
I like killing Charr all day...everyday!

I really shouldn't delete my plan last week...
The Little Viking
where are these battle plans dropping at? Or if they arent a drop, where do you get them? I have the decoder and did the apropriate quests, but cant get the plans. I have vanquished the charr home lands 2 times thru now and no luck. Any help is greatly appriciated.
ReiNaruto
I have never seen one
They only drop from Charrs? Or they may drop everywhere in Gwen as it is said on wiki?

ive been bounty hunting char for weeks and im nearly on rank 7 vanguard, and im yet to get the battle plans drop. They must have an extremely rare drop rate.
I even asked to buy them in the near by outpost and no one replied.
I think Anet needs to re-think the drop rate to have it be a bit more realistic. Ive killed dozens of char in the last few weeks.

I had 2 drop during preview weekend, and then I had one drop from a charr last night in the cathedral of flames. The two I got during preview were dropped by charr in the "charr invaders" quest in Norrhart domains.
stretchs
I got one during the preview event, which i held onto just as a badge of courage until they sorted it out. Thought about selling them to some goof thinking they were special but didnt. Was only 100rep pts. Got another yesterday as well. Both seemed kind of a waste. It would appear though that they are trying to give us other ways to gain Ebon Vanguard pts as it has the least opportunity to gain pts from quests/dungeons.
ForgeWhelp
Farming my 26k of faction and doing charr dungeons I've gotten 2 so far...
rick1027
i got two doing assualt on the stronghold mission within three seconds the second dropped. that was just yesterday
Big_Iron
I've gotten one since the official release. I had gotten one during the preview but thought it was just another unclaimed quest item and destroyed it to free up space...like a doof.
Hengis
Well I have now reached rank 7 in the Vanguard title, and I still haven't seen one of these.
The drop rate really does need to be looked at.

I got two on my necro. Still have 'em, don't want 'em. Got one on my ele, and did the quest. Was kinda fun, but am not looking to do it again.
