Talk:Divinity Coast (mission)

Only indirectly related to the Divinity Coast mission, I used the profession icons for the boss section. Do you like it? Would you mind if I use this format for other areas/missions too? (Hmmm, maybe this should go under Style & Formating talk ...) --Tetris L 17:22, 5 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * That is great. Allows you to see at a glance whether any of the bosses in the mission will interest you; leading to the link that tells you what elite they have. Perfect! 148.177.129.213 18:35, 5 Oct 2005 (EST)

Re: Bonus reward
The 1000xp is a given, but I'm not so sure about the reward in money. A guildmate and I did it last night with a full team of players (and I do not think that anyone had done the bonus before), and the reward caught my eye -- a reward of 3 Platinum to the party, which would be 500g each. There was however a couple of higher levels in the group: a level 20 Monk (me), a level 20 Warrior, a level 19 Warrior, a level 12 Mesmer, a level 11 Elementalist, and a level 14 Necromancer in the party. - Evil_Greven (CST)
 * Did it again today, I know for sure two of us had done it before, and perhaps a third had. We got 2 Platinum reward.  Two level 20s, a henchman, a level 13 Elementalist, a level 15 Warrior, and a level 15 Ranger. - Evil_Greven 12:34, 3 March 2006 (CST)
 * I just remembered something, but I'm not sure that it influenced the outcome any. There are three merchants along the path that are being attacked by Tengu, and as I recall the time my party recieved 3 platinum, we saved the first and third merchants.  However when we recieved 2 platinum, we only saved the first merchant. - Evil_Greven 05:26, 5 March 2006 (CST)
 * The gold reward does indeed depend on the people you save. I don't know if it counts only the merchants or not, but there are the townspeople getting attacked by imps also.  --68.142.14.57 05:37, 5 March 2006 (CST)
 * The description is correct, 500 gold for each villager. I used my Channeling/Restoration Ritualist with an N/Mo, and got 1.5k out of it. Pretty neat way to get gold, though I guess farming would be better. I haven't timed it or anything, but it didn't take that long. Silk Weaker 02:20, 16 July 2006 (CDT)
 * For what it's worth, I just did the bonus with a total of three players in the party, no henchies. We saved all five chosen ones, got the bonus, but we only got 1 p 500 g to split between three people.  Earlier, I did it with a group of 6 players, and we shared 3 p (6 ways).--Aapheus 22:33, 27 August 2006 (CDT)

I just did the mission with my warrior and an all henchmen team. I just ran through the whoel thing and when i got to the end i didn't have the eye and couldn't complete it. I know of a fact i had it when i started but somewhere inbetween me gettign the eye and gettign to lomhaurst it disappeared. My only logical explanations is that cause all the henchmen died it coudl have been following one of them and i was to far away for it to "come" to me so it stayed on the dead body or i outran it and it got suck...lol. Has this happened to any1 else?


 * Well... that would happen to any mission or quest where you had something following you. You can't speed run through the whole thing and expect whatever is following to keep up, especially since NPCs and other objects always tend to move at a slower speed. --Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 20:33, 5 September 2006 (CDT)

I just did misison again and this time i saved 4/5 of the villages and my party got to share 400g, it woudl appear taht you get 100g for each villager saved.


 * just did it fot 4/5 and shared 1p 600g

Re: Chosen Number
I have completed this mission and bonus a number of times. I have always completed the bonus and found the chosen as described in the bonus section. However, I just ran through bonus with a group, and we had 4 villagers after swamp and prior to Loamhurst. One player said last chosen (5th) was at end (in Loamhurst). I was surprised to be wrong (who said we can't admit when we are wrong?), and we got bonus. Is there a 6th chosen in Loamhurst or does the 5th sometimes spawn at the end?--68.209.179.48 20:17, 5 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Can you verify that again? The 5 Chosen mentioned in the walkthrough are always at those locations. With a good group that listens to instructions, I can always find the 5 Chosen. Haven't heard of a sixth Chosen though. Hmmm... --Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 20:33, 5 September 2006 (CDT)

Haven't retried it. I was very surprised at getting bonus when ONE person in our group stated last villager was at end. Again, I was surprised and thus the post...The one person stated, "Guildwiki isn't always right..."

Yup, I did bonus with only 4 chosen. Is it a bug? 195.131.209.98 16:02, 16 February 2007 (CST)

Perhaps a chosen got stuck along the way? King Neoterikos 22:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Disappearing Justiciar Hablion
Just wanted to mention that I encountered a bug on 2006-10-03 (around 03:00GMT) where Hablion disappeared after cleansing at the fountain. Searched for a while, but in the end the mission had to be restarted seeing as we could not take the eye along without talking to him.

Seen it before as well, twice or thrice. He sometimes runs back in randomly after a while... --210.3.39.32 22:21, 2 October 2006 (CDT)

Possible bug?
When I got the eye, I just ran through the whole mission, to spare some time... although at the end it was a great loss of time instead, cause the "eye" stopped at the first tengu squad and remained there, untill I got back and killed them all.. This was a little bit annoying because at first I couldn't find the eye and was complete lost without it.. could this be a bug? Chris


 * Yes, it happens sometimes; the Eye gets stuck and you've got to go back and retrieve it. It's because it follows behind you and always tries to take the shortest path; if you suddenly turn a corner, for instance, it'll get stuck in the wall. Using running skills just makes the problem worse. 24.6.147.36 14:34, 3 February 2007 (CST)

Clensed
Just FYI, even though the description of Clensed (after you wash in the fountain) says "Enchantment" it is not taken into account when using skills that require enchantments (i.e. Invoke Lightning to prevent exhaustion). Jaxgreystar

Party size for bonus
Obviosly you would want more money from the bonus that means a smaller party size. Is it possible to do the bonus only solo. if not whats the smallest party size you could try???


 * What, are you going to try running this mission in order to farm gold? XD There are much easier ways to earn money.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 11:43, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
 * There is no difference, since the amount you get is scaled according to party size and chosen saved. Suppose you were the only person and got 600 gold, if you had a party size of 2, the party would get 1200 gold, split between the two, and so forth. As said above, there are much easier ways to earn money. --Kale Ironfist 19:33, 15 May 2007 (CDT)

Bugging Eye
I was doing this mission with heroes, henchman and a friend of mine. My friend needed to go eating after we got the second chosen. I said he just can stand still and go AFK, so I can complete the mission and bonus for him. Well, I went to the third Chosen, no problem but when I went to the fourth chosen.... Then the Eye moves towards my friend. Tried it a couple of times, but I can't make the Eye and chosens follow me. Pissed as I was I chose the normal way to chosen number 5. Got him with no problems at all. So I went left there and tried to get to the fourth chosen from the other side. But when you are almost there, the villagers and the Eye quickly turn run against the wall towards you guessed it, my friend. It seems above an horizontal line they are going to the other player nearby the fourth chosen. Anyone else has ever has seen the same thing happen? Or have a solution?

After the other player went offline (Being too long afk) the Eye just followed me again.

Discrepancy
So, you save five Chosen during the mission if you save them all, right? But, during the end cutscene, have you ever noticed that there are actually only four "Chosen Villager" NPC following the Justicars? I had always thought this was very strange, since where did that fifth one go...However, thanks to them now being in the Ally window, I've solved the puzzle. Once you drop off the Eye in Loanhurst, quickly check the Ally window again. You will see the five "Villager" that you saved along the way...and right before the cutscene, four new NPCs will spawn out of nowhere, the "Chosen Villager" ones that appear in the cutscene. That brings the Ally window to a total of 10 people, including Justicar Hablion.

I guess one of those "Villagers" was faking it, or perhaps the Eye is broken :p Although, strangely, when you catch up to the "Chosen Villagers" in Sage Lands, you can see Saidra leading a group of seven Chosen. That's three more than in the cutscene, and two more than you actually saved. So there are discrepancies all around...unless there are other "Tests" administered by the White Mantle at the same time in other places. But that wouldn't make sense, unless there are more than one Eye of Janthir... (T/C) 15:01, 26 June 2007 (CDT)

Hard Mode
this mission is pretty hard on hard mode... 3 Deep Freezes almost always kills my heros, and SS is even worse - Kills henchemn and heros under 20 seconds :S any tips for Hard Mode?


 * Stop spamming barrage when you have spiteful spirit on you? More seriously, it's okay to stop attacking and lay off a lot of spells when you get spiteful spirit, as you outnumber the mobs 6:3.  Even henchmen survived deep freeze just fine, and your heroes should be hardier than Alesia.  Quizzical 00:14, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Heh, I'm almost scared to try this one on hard mode, maybe it's time to get Nightfall... King Neoterikos 22:31, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, having tried this, it's good to bring interrupts, they are really effective in stopping caster mobs, and can save you from wiping. Also, using the Eye as offence is good because it knocks down your enemies; really handy. King Neoterikos 10:27, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
