Fighter Epic 2.0 Research & Discussion

Got that steel item from that corpse, Steel Warriors are located around where the reforger in Qeynos Harbor is - but there is nothing I can click or anything.
NPCs dont give any hints either.

 

NEW Steel Warriors are also located in Windstalker Village

 

NEW Steel Warriors seems for the old Guardian Epic 1.0
I can't find anything by the Steel Warriors in Qeynos Harbor.
Anyone knows are there other Steel Warrior's ingame? (outside Qeynos or Freeport)

 

In the scout forums someone posted "Kander said in Discord today stop making it so hard, its not LORE, its as simple as "Archetype...go back to your roots."

As I remember it everyone started on Darathar's Island where you did quests that as each different archetype. once you decided the one you want to be you told the trainer then took the boat to Qeynos or Freeport. Once in the city you went to a trainer that showed you the classes of your archetype, you tried each one then chose one. From there on out everything seemed class based.

 

The Isle names "Isle of Refuge" but the old one does not exist anymore. Yes you can zone from the Bell in Antonica to Queen's Colony, but i cant find anything. I've searched in Qeynos, Freeport, all the whole overland zones and some inis. But without success.

 

Ok, not sure if I am on to anything, but went to NQ and talked to one of the trainers outside. They sent me to an npc in CL at the spire. That npc sent me to paineel where I found a new npc in the library. They were having something interrupt their casting and asked me to go to Que'lue. In que'lue there was a new npc that explained the nexus, and how they are trying to get into it. I am guessing the guy I need to talk to is in the nexus as they hear noises in there.

 

That sounds a lot like one of the Odus sig lines to me? In search of lucan?

 

And if you go back to Queen's Colony/Overlord's Outpost now, you zone in next to a skeleton called Kander who has various emotes about nostalgia (Nostalgia, WOOO!).

Should have been a troll, not a skeleton, really.

 

Here's today's tidbits from Kander, with some notes from Tetsu since i missed some of the screenshots.







So, the quest starter is either in the Isle of Refuge (called the queen's colony or the outpost of the overlord, reachable on live from the world bell at the CL docks) or it is in one of the original starting cities, Qeynos, Freeport, or may be in the first Kunark added Gorowin or Neriak.

Shouldn't take long to count out the Isle of Refuge (and seeing as how he clearly said "keys to the city" i'm guessing that he means the starting cities).

 

there are a set of 3 new steel training just ouside windstalker -1874,-35,-629

 

Popping the conversation back to the hidden cache by Unrest: my SK/Thaumaturgist couldn't see it when a Paladin/Etherealist guildy could. After Kander's mention of archetypes and going back to the beginning, guildy mentioned the city questline with an archetype sub-questline and they wondered if that was related.

I had stopped at Scale Break (I sucked at the sneaking bit), so went back and finished it tonight. Check the BB cache: boom, it's there for me now. I'm interested in seeing if others can corroborate.

Questline for baddies: The City of Freeport Timeline
Questline for good folks: The City of Qeynos Timeline

EDIT: Be sure to do the full questline, including the archetype sub-questline.


(Credit goes to my guildy Marrj for making the connection with the city/archetype questline. )

 

Confirmed! Couldn't see cache before, finished Freeport Timeline now it's there. Although I've been hailing every NPC from the series and haven't found anything new.

 

Yes! After I finished this quest timeline....

I can see the cache now!
