Talk:Boreas Seabed (mission)

Umm hello....i just confrim that the master reward is under 20 minutes....I've done the mission in 20:19 and didn't get it. ~Torins

I recieved the Master's bonus with a time of 19:49, so I think that the 20:00 minute time limit can be confirmed.--Damasus 18:41, 4 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Yup, I received Master with a time of 16 mins. I'll remove the unconfirmed note. --MasterPatricko 12:04, 7 May 2006 (CDT)

Rewards
I think I might've gotten 500 faction for completing the main objective, I'm not completely sure though. -- Gordon Ecker 20:36, 13 May 2006 (CDT)
 * You are correct. I also recieved 500 Kurzick from finishing Aborstone.  I don't know if this was a recent change or if I always did but I can confirm Boreas with a screenshot.  Chuiu (T/C)  20:47, 13 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I can confim that. I had 250 Luxon points (from the quest in Tyria) and couldn't buy anything in Aborstone. Than I made the mission and wondered why I couldn't buy anything in Boreas Seabed. Than I looked into the faction listing and was surpised that I got 500 Kurzick points. --Khan Reaper Kerensky 18:58, 4 June 2006 (CDT)
 * The 500 Faction you get do even show up in the chat log. --Chi Li [[Image:Chi_Li.gif|Chi Li]] 16:31, 7 June 2006 (CDT)

Spear doing damage to team
This happened twice to me. The spear did damage to my ranger before we took it. The first time, we were fighting Argo and the spear does exactly 600 damage to me (I had frenzy). Second time was when we were watching the cinematic, bone minions were dying and the whole party was a bit below half their health. I don't know what triggers this but it possible has something to do with people dying near it. Also, it seems like you have to be somewhat near it to get hit by it (I was up the cliff near it on the first time)
 * If you approach the spear before you're "allowed" to take it, it deals damage to you. --68.142.14.52 19:26, 4 June 2006 (CDT)
 * It is my observation that the spear will charge up during the convocation (normally, by deaths near it) and automatically discharge as soon as it is fully charged, dealing 300 damage to everyone in the area (both players and opponents). I am not entirely sure, though. --84-175 (talk) 19:47, 4 June 2006 (CDT)
 * I was doing a "Turtle" strategy and camping out near the Spear with the entire party. Argo and the Elementalists came and started using AoE...and then the Spear zapped all eight of us for 300 damage. It nearly caused us to wipe! Pretty brutal...I think it should be put into the Notes or something that players should keep away from the Spear during the fighting, since it can potentially kill the entire party with one discharge. Thankfully, that was the most difficult part of the entire mission >.> [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:44, 18 April 2007 (CDT)

lol frenzy

Favorable Winds
Anyone know why the Boreas Seabed outpost has a constant Favorable Winds all over it? --aCynicalPie 21:51, 19 June 2006 (CDT)
 * It's not all over it, just by Aurora, who keeps using it. --68.142.14.37 09:32, 21 June 2006 (CDT)

Elder Reef Lurker
You can capture a level 20 elder blue reef lurker. However, they are hostile towards you even before you use Charm Animal.

Looks like they might have fixed this, it worked a few weeks ago when I tried with my Warrior, but did not work with my Ranger today - I just got invalid target messages.Ynara 08:44, 13 November 2006 (CST)

Location
Where is this mission? --Vindexus 01:28, 5 August 2006 (CDT)
 * In terms of geographical location, or place in the storyline? --Lemming 18:54, 5 August 2006 (CDT)

Should we put this in here?
Err, I know this is gonna sound kinda stupid, but I speak some Spanish. Boreas means "north wind". Should we put that in the trivia? Maybe it has something to do with the Jade Wind? Since the source of the Jade Wind was at the Harvest Temple (Kaoya Zun Temple), it would've had to come north to hit Boreas Seabed and turn the waves to jade. I just had to get that off of my mind...sorry. Shade Griffin 12:58, 15 January 2007 (CST)

Sounds pretty valid but somewone would need to comfirm it before they put it in the trivia

HUGE GLITCH
I noticed that people had been commenting that they were hurt by the spear before they could pick it up. I believe that the last boss Argo actually carries it with him although you don't see it. I was fighting him and after the cut scene ended there were two spears on the pedestal. I will upload a picture to photo-bucket so you guys can see.
