But hopefully it won’t come to that, kupo. After all, twenty years ago the Allied Forces of Altana ended the Crystal War in triumph kupo!

</TD><TD widht="491" td>Hang on just a second there kupo!
How can you possibly say that it was such an outdated fighting technique that defeated the nefarious Beastmen Confederate kupo? My Bastok’s Republican Legion boasts by far the largest numbers of the four nation’s armies. There’s the Iron Musketeers and their state-of-the-art equipment! The unmatched elite forces of the Gold Musketeers! Bastok practically carried the allied effort on its unbreakable back kupo!

Cool.Sounds like fun to me.

I am looking forward to it.
 
Ghelsba Outpost (H-8) - was all the way up all the ramps in a hut
Davoi (E-8) - the Screaming Pond

Palborough Mines (F-6) on the 2nd Floor
Beadeaux (F-7) underground area past the curse thing

Giddeus (E-12) - the spring at the far south end
Castle Oztroja (I-8) on the 2nd floor


Seems NMs pop 1x per gameday, they can be CFH, click on the crystal after they die for your 4 shards.
to get NQ glasses, just 1 shard is required. More for the HQ, I heard 20 shards.

They're red, who CARES what they do.

You can pretend like you're cyclops from he xmen and have sex with jean.
 
NQ = lvl 30 Day: Acc +2 Night: Acc -20
HQ = lvl 30 Day: Acc +3 Night: Acc -30

Apparently they're AH'able too >.>
 
Go Windy! :)

Do you have to go to your "beast city" of choice? LOL, running from Sandy to the Fort is sooo much quicker than Windy to Giddeus.

Also, any difference between the 20-30 zone and the 50-75 zones as far as return on crystals and NMs?
 
Gil too

If you go to Giddeus you may as well do the Water Way to Go quest:
