Arcangrove Rep Farming

All 10 Quests

The Road to Shammy-ness

In order to get the Shaman class you need to have a 10 rep in Arcangrove. This will take a long, long time. Here's a guide that will help players get the most out of the rep quests in Aracangrove.

The quickest way to gain rep, besides doing the story-line quests, is to get the quests from the four NPCs at Arcangrove (/join arcangrove). The NPCs are:

• Rayst, with two rep quests, outside the building.
• Reens, with two rep quests and three daily quests, inside the building, bottom transporter pad.
• Moonrath, with two quests, middle transporter on the right.
• Blakk, with two quests, middle transporter on the right.

When you first start, you should have 10 quests that will get you rep. That includes Reens' two daily quests (don't do the Experiment 107 quest, I'll explain later).

To do the quests, go one screen to the right of the starting area with Rayst. You'll find two Gorillaphants and one Seed Spitter. Clobber them until you finish all 10 quests. Pay special attention on getting to the Seed Spitter, which many players forget about.

Hint: If you don't see any players there to help, try a different room. Type "/join arcangrove" in the text bar and see if you can find a filled room. You'll have the most help on crowded servers where players trying to gain rep are doing the same thing.

I takes about 15 minutes with my level 33 and level 18 characters to finish the quest. The net rep gained from all 10 quests will be 2,990 to 4,000 rep and a ton of experience and rank points.

After you finish, you can go at it again and it will only take about five minutes because the daily quests from Reens won't be available until tomorrow. You'll have eight quests total.

Experiment 107: Elders Blood Potion

Don't do the 107 quest from Reens unless you want the potion. This quest needs 50 slain Gorillaphants and gets you 800 rep. If you turn them into Rayst's Gorillaphant Poaching quest, you'll get 1,050 rep, and probably more.

Rayst's Gorillaphant Poaching Quest

You can collect many more Slain Gorillaphants than the 7 the quest calls for. You'll probably have something like 30 or 40 when all of the other quests are done. So after you turn in the quest the first time, accept it again, then turn it in again.

Paddylump of Mudluk

Other Daily Quests

The two daily quests outside Arcangrove main are from Ewa, in the Cloister (/join cloister), and Paddylump, in Mudluk (/join mudluck). Both of these daily quests will net you 1500 rep each. Lower-level players (under level 30) should skip it and stay with the four quest-givers in Arcangrove because there will be little help with these quests.

Ewa of the Cloister

Since these quests send you to the other area, Paddylump's quest sends you to the Cloister and Ewa's quest sends you to Mudluk, get the quest in one area, finish in the other, and then grab the second quest on the way out.

Good luck on your journey to Shaman-hood!

Happenings and Goings Ons

Wow! There's a lot going on at AE right now! Here's a bulleted list of stuff you should know:

• BladeHaven Beta starts tomorrow, October 14th. Check to see if you qualify for Beta testing.
• AE has a new novel that will be out in November, The Dragon's Secret. It will be available at Hero Mart. Of course it will have an in-game perk.
• AQW's level cap has been raised to 35. I'm amazed that people have already made it to the top! I've been using Twilly's XP Boost (150 ACs) to help. Only up to level 31.
• AQW's pumpkin carving contest has started and will run until the end of October.
• On Friday, October 15th, the next Chaos Beast will be unleashed on AQW.
• The previous year's Mogloween will also be released on Friday. This will give players a chance to catch up.
• This year's Mogloween will be released on October 22nd, unless they melt the servers (hey, it can happen at AE).
• November 2nd is the deadline for Second Upholder status. 

Too many armors! Too many outfits!

There are a lot of really cool items being released, like the anti-Artix costumes. My bag space is overflowing right now with stuff!

I remember when the coolest armor you could get was Phoenix plate. I think I'm going to wear mine for a while just for old-times sake.

I still wear my noob armor just for giggles. It's fun to have people send me a message, "Why is a level 30 wearing nub stuff?" It's because in PvP I want people to ignore me!

I don't play PvP much anymore so I'm thinking about selling my noob stuff to make room for all the awesome Halloween stuff that will be coming out soon!

Shaman Class

First, let me say that needing a 10 Rep in Arcangrove to get the Shaman class is painful. It takes forever to level up rep. But, I must have it!

And I think it's great that non-mems can get it.

Here are the stats for the class as posted in the design notes:

Ancestor’s Flame
10 Mana, 4 second cooldown
Deals moderate damage to up to three targets, and applies Scorched Spirit. Damage increased by Elemental Embrace.

Hydrophobia
15 mana, 4 second cooldown
Deals moderate damage to up to three targets. Any damage caused to targets affected by Scorched Spirit will heal the shaman for a portion of the damage dealt. Healing increased by Elemental Embrace.

Dry Lightning
40 Mana, 16 second cooldown
Deals heavy damage to the target. Damage increased by Elemental Embrace.

Ancestral Teachings
Passive Ability
Intellect increased 15%

Primal Fury
Passive Ability
Crit chance increased by 8%

Elemental Embrace
60 mana, 16 second coodown
Deals light damage to target and applies Elemental Embrace, negating all target Evasion and Critical Strike chance. This effect also makes the Shaman’s spells more powerful, and gets stronger the more spells the Shaman casts against the target.

I suppose the idea is to cast Elemental Embrace on a target then use the buff to make the other abilities better. But at 60 mana, I'm not seeing this as a great idea. Can you imagine what would happen in PvP if you blew all of your mana on one target?
