Update - Thursday, April 8, 2010
Tyrian Events

To better serve the Krytan people and maintain order, the White Mantle has formed the Peacekeepers. You'll find these friendly and polite volunteers all through Kryta, offering assistance to common folk and searching for rebel sympathizers. Say hello to a Peacekeeper today!

Bear witness to the trial of the century! The renowned asuran artificer Zinn will stand before the judgment of the Arcane Council for orchestrating an assassination scheme using golems of his design. Speak with Chark outside of Vlox's Falls to attend the trial.

Bug Fixes

* Fixed a bug that prevented players from accepting the quest "The Stolen Artifact" from Necromancer Munne.
here's the start. The beginning of the Shining Blade quest chain with Zinn's trial? And maybe Peacekeepers will start a title track for the Mantle that one person thought might happen, or maybe these Peacekeepers will give a quest to begin the Mantle's quest chain?

I'm pretty sure the requirement to see Chark is that same requirement needing to see the Blade Camp.

It took me a few minutes to figure that out. ._.

I just 'witnessed' the trial, and I have to say, the ending kind of confused me. I wasn't sure what to do after the trial had ended, and Zinn approached Blimm + G.O.X. So I just mapped. Looking forward to the rest of the quest chain, though!

Aye, it looks like Zinn's trial is just to set the stage for Kryta, and we can expect to see him there.

Same here. They did leave it quite open ended. Maybe zinn's somewhere out there right now. Maybe check his lair?

Watchtower Coast has some hostile Peacekeepers in it. After killing a couple groups dialogue pops up in the chat window





NOTE: Drakes are pets instead of Drakes. And Charming Peacekeepers have Vengeance, never thought that skill got used, but Anet found something for them now

Large group of Peace Keepers with new bosses in Watchtower Coast along the northern coast line, looking at the castle thingy.

Watchtower Coast is a deadend. Only thing I learned is that area is going to be a lot harder to VQ if those guys are permanent.

This is how far I got before they ran out.

And outside ToA it looks like Brother Mizar has been found out that he was hiding Selma in ToA and tried to get roughed up by the peacekeepers

My characters can see the Shining Blade camp, but I can't find Chark.

Do you have to have finished EotN? Can anyone test that?

Maybe I'm not looking for him in the right place... he is just outside Vlox's Falls, correct? Like... right outside the entrance?

I vanqed that zone a few days ago. Damn.

You have to finish the MOX quest chain, as far as I know. And he's just outside the portal. You actually have to turn around because you spawn too far away from the door to see him.


EDIT: I lied.. I guess you just have to finish EotN and/or Prophecies.

Nope, I haven't done any of the M.O.X quests yet and I was able to see him on my ranger who had beaten Prophecies and EotN.

Just took a stroll to the Shining Blade Camp, and the only new thing is a Scout reporting that Nebo Terrace has been hit by brigands and Nora, Etham the artisan's wife, lost her life. And they just had a baby girl too..

This is the location of the first huge group of Peacekeepers. I spotted at least THREE bosses in this location. Your best best is probably to leave from Bettletun and head South East to reach the big mob.

These bosses have elites right? Is Kryta now the earliest place to capture an elite skill in Prophecies?

Yeah, it is a massively big group. Right now I can confirm only those who have finished Proph can see the group.

To me it sounds like you have to get far enough into the storyline to actually know what is going on to be able to see them, so at the earliest it would seem that you would know enough of the story to see them is after maguuma jungle, or more likely after killing markis.

About the elite part, can anyone confirm whether or not the new people spawn/items spawn if you have a new(ish) character, so a character that has only gotten to the ap location but not actually done many missions.

If that is the case, it would mean new caps, and possibly new greens, but only if you have gotten far enough in the storyline where you would have already gotten to get a skill capped.

Well the peace keepers have are from all profession including paras and dervish and rits, I have not seen sins, but I died quick.... Having lv10 healers vs lv 24 non boss people sucks. So go HM to get lv.20 healers or bring hero healers. (oh wait thats just because I came from gates of kyrta, nvmd)

I just attacked leta (mez boss) for like 70seconds and she did not use a leet skill... I need to bring a capture siggie.

I was doing the group south of beetle...

Fun references in the Zinn trial, especially the "Large Hydra Collider". Does anyone know if M.O.X.'s inclusion in the trial is optional? I took him with me to see if it would make a difference.

Oh, and "To Kill a Moa Bird." Fun stuff.

No they don't spawn them me and a guild member already tried this theory out we are killing them to see about drops and such.

I entered the trial alone and M.O.X just came along anyway.

Interesting, that's pretty cool.

I'm not one for excluding people, but I absolutely don't mind if people have to get to a certain point to be able to do bonus/extra content.

Well the only reason we tested this was because he didn't feel like changing characters so he brought the 1 he was on and the peacekeepers didn't appear. Then change to his ranger and they did we saw 1 mesmer peacekeeper boss thus far not sure how many there are. Peacekeeper groups also have all potentially have all professions.
