Talk:The Jade Arena

Walkthrough?
Does this actually qualify as a walkthrough for all characters, or one for rangers? It would be just as easy to post, 'bring minions' or 'bring a nuker'.--Xis10al 06:21, 4 June 2006 (CDT)

Glitch?
I think the arena creatures don't turn hostile if you also have the Luxon Supply Lines quest active. Bug? Expected? Or just me? --Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 21:06, 10 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Carried the Supply crate in, and the quest worked fine. Anooneemiss 01:45, 17 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Bug happen sometimes for me when XPFarming this spot.. really don't know why.. (no quest activated at all except this one) Corsaire 05:34, 30 October 2006 (CST)
 * I listed a bug here that described that the quest would not activate after talking to the Arena master if a Reef Lurker was in the Arena at the time you speak to him- apparently, the glitch extends also to aggroed monsters. For some reason, some stupid Irukandji will run into the arena, and it won't let the Arena match begin.

Team Makeup
Does anyone have info on the team makeup? Are the professions completely random, or are there a handful of fixed team setups like Duel of the Houses? How many team members are there? -- Gordon Ecker 22:32, 14 September 2006 (CDT)


 * And it turns out that there's 5 fixed teams with 8 members each. -- Gordon Ecker 02:06, 15 September 2006 (CDT)

Faction
Is it just me or is this a faster way to get Luxon faction than ABing. You don't have to have a party you can do it with henchies. You don't have to wait for a game and the only thing in your way to get to this quest is 2 groups of enemys. Plus you get money each time you beat this. --Antiarchangel 16:02, 24 December 2006 (CST)

Complete pushovers?
I realize that difficulty is subjective, but I think the "complete pushovers" note in the article doesn't give the criminals enough credit. I can clear Archipelagos with henchmen, but I simply can't complete this quest. Is Frozen Soil more or less required for this quest to be the faction-, gold-, and experience-generating cakewalk the article makes it sound like? - Bcstingg 11:10, 8 January 2007 (CST)
 * OK...I don't know about "Complete Pushovers", but I do agree that they're often easier than the general environment. The way I've been approaching it is to pick out one of the healers before they turn red (if you stand on the wall just before the trigger spot, you can see well enough), then pound on him until he dies.  Wait 2 secs, and he'll rez.  Pound on him some more.  Lather, rinse, repeat.  After a bit, everyone will have used up their rez-sigs on him, and if you brough Olias, you'll have a bunch-o-minions.  After that, find the other healer, take him out.  Then mop up the rest in any order you choose.  Seems to work well.  ScionOfErixalimar 12:10, 25 January 2007 (CST)
