end of campaign reward

qsnoopyjr · May 2015

So I was told, when you get 3 end of campaign reward it still goes on.
Whoever is in the top 10% get a unique reward.
What is the top 10%?
Is rank 338 top 10% (3500/10)?

I'm playing on Azura Star as DC, and Azura Star is DC buff server so its gotta be full, whats the max capacity?

Just wondering, because if I cant make top 10% I'm gonna stop for a bit and do some PvE because I need to get some levels bad, only lvl 28 after 2 months played.

I'd like to say PvE in PvP is really nice xp too, did some quests in southeast part of zone, corpseiurm something like that. Able to kill those V10 boss mobs at lvl 27. Except for 3 star goblin, didnt want to die so didnt try him.

Will I make it into top 10%?
If I do is reward good at lvl 28? Like will I get a lvl 28 EPIC item? What kind of reward I get?

Do you realize what a buff server is? A buff server is an all one color all the time campaign with zero competition. It is where one faction camps round the clock to keep it one color all the time. Those don't really exist anymore. Yeah yeah we joke Chilly is an Ad buff server but let's face it even the Ad there have solid competition from top ep guild and some semi decent DC guilds. Azura isn't a buff server. Winning a campaign doesn't automatically make it "buff". Dc has worked hard in there to WIN despite a constant barrage of enemy players traveling to player and locking both factions nightly. It is balanced. It is a good and clean fun server with good players on both sides (usually). It is by no means a dc buff server.

Ok

But, can you answer my question please.
What rank do you have to be to be in the top 10% to earn really nice reward?

Jauriel · May 2015

As in a legendary item?

What rank are you talking about... ???

Not sure I understand the question. I've got masters legendary weapons from the last 4 campaigns in blackwater blade, it's not hard to do, and my lowest masters weapon achieved was a level 12 Masters bow, so rank or level are irrelevant in many ways. Not sure I'd be able to get another level 12 Masters weapon now as non-veteran is gaining in popularity and competitiveness and level 12 you don't have much progression or much unlocked.

You are saying you are level 28 right now, and that you need to level? I'd suggest you don't have to level up at all, but move campaigns to the non-veteran server, that way you'l be playing with people from levels 10-50 and if you are level 28 and have enough skill points you should have some decent things unlocked. Plus with battle leveling a level 28 is akin to a level 49 albeit without the same amount of passives or progression, but the gap is much smaller and it's more about skill separating you.

As an example, when my DK was @ level 26 he ended up with a top ten and got a Master Ice Staff (they are all legendary) and the rewards are always based on your own level at the time of earning them, so it was a level 26 Master Ice Staff. (best Masters weapon for PvP personally)

No need to do anything apart from play and kill well.

qsnoopyjr · May 2015

No.
Not talking about leveling.

I'm talking about how you compete with everyone from your alliance and other alliance.
You get a rank like rank 328 (my current rank).

I asked someone does end of campaign reward still keep going after you get end of campaign reward 3.
He told me yes, but you have to be in the top 10% tile to get special reward. This true?

How can you tell what the top 10% tile is, so that I can see if its possible to achieve that or not.

Another question arised. You mention you got legendary item from non veteran?
Is that from being in top 10% tile? Is the top 10% tile same for 30 day server and non veteran or regular server (7 or 14 day server)?

Trying to figure out which server has the best rewards, and if you get equal rewards and faster on a different campaign, I might switch.

Lets focus on end of campaign reward pls, none of this what a buff server is, how I'm suppose to level... I just want to know more about end of campaign reward!!!

If you want to know how many people are in your faction in a campaign, enter in a level 10 character of yours, make a minimal amount of AP, and check your leadboard ranking on that guy. Should give a good estimate as to how many of your faction are homed there. Then 10% that.

So the top 10% does get a reward?
Anyone do this for DC?
How good are the rewards, is it worth grinding?

You may get a master's weapon which is a unique gold weapon that has traits to them that are not craftable. The weapons (bow, dagger, 1h sword, 2hd sword, destro staves, resto staff, may be a few I missed) are given out at random and you cannot trade them. I finished #1 overall for a campaign and got a master weapon and some gold armor. Weren't really my cup of tea but that;s just how the random rewards worked out.

kijima · May 2015

If you don't have a VR14 player and a tonne of CP and run within a PvP guild, then the best and easiest way to get Legendary items as campaign rewards is via the non-veteran server since you are non-vet.

As for what dictates as to what is 10%, I don't know that answer, sorry. But maybe someone else can chime in with that exact answer. I'm not sure there is one tbh. There 'might' be an addon for it, but if there is, I've never used it.

I just play my guts out, kill as much as I can and try to hold/defend keeps and outposts as much as possible as those two methods yield the most AP that ultimately will boost your ranking. And if you defend something successfully, don't mount up rush off to push your enemy back, wait for the defense tick and then saddle up. No point fighting hard and not getting the reward for your efforts and I constantly see people missing out on decent AP because they've left in a hurry.

For what it's worth, I've found if I'm top 20 or better in my own alliance, top 20 or better for my class, and overall top 60 or better outright, that's usually enough to secure a Legendary weapon as an end of campaign reward.

For the most part I just run solo, and occasionally jump into a pickup group when there is one that is being run by someone half decent who knows what they are doing. I generally play for about 4 hours a night and I don't farm AP at all.

I've found that's enough for me to gain Legendary Masters weapons as end of campaign rewards, and with a turn around of what, 5 days for the non-veteran campaign, it seems like it's worth it, plus I can re-use those weapons for my next alt I roll.

qsnoopyjr · May 2015

Yes, but non veteran is 7 or 14 days.
Azura star is 30 days.

Therefore the reward is greater than 7 or 14 day servers correct?

Psilent · May 2015

Haderus - 1 item
Chillrend - 2 items
Azura's Star and Thornblade 5 items

Top 2% overall for all factions get a chance at a gold master's weapon.
Top 10% get gold items
Top 30% get purple items

AhPook_Is_Here · May 2015

If you need a metric, home an alt at the server you are accruing AP on, go out on your alt and get one tick or turn in 1 quest or share a kill so you will be at the very bottom of the list and remain that way for the rest of the campaign. There will likely be a hundred or so near that position but you can then do the multiplication to find out approximately what your percentile rank is and if you get a bit ahead of it you will be clear for the margin of error of not knowing exactly what the bottom number is.

Draxys · May 2015

Only percentage worth getting is 2% anyway, more often than not, the gold reward items are just a free yellow mat if you're lucky.

Which accurately describes azuras and thorn blade

Makkir · May 2015

OP just to clarify and hopefully answer your question,
On Haderus two weeks ago I got two purple items (Ravager gear) for placing like 30 or 40 something
This week I got a gold Ravager 2H sword for placing 8th.

Awesome reply.
Newb question here,
Whats a gold masters?
Sounds like a lvl 50, but a V14 lvl 50 type of thing. Top tier, but top top tier.

Another thought just came across my mind too..
If 2% is too hard to get, does anyone get 2 of there characters in top 10%?
Or like your so far ahead of everyone, you start getting AP on a second character.

Would you get 2 different set of rewards... Maybe more believeable setting would be, you wont make it to the top 10% so you work on another character getting the 3 out of 3 end of campaign reward.

Both characters receive the 3 of 3 end of campaign reward or is it an account bound type deal? Only 1 end of campaign reward regardless of how many characters have end of campaign reward.

I doubt I made it to the top 10%, but I assume I could've got a 1 of 3 or 2 of 3 on a different character before the campaign ended.

I'm still a new player, so rewards are a big deal to me. When I get to V14 and have the best gear, rewards will stop meaning that much to me.. Once I hit V14 I figure getting titles will mean more for me, or specialty items.. More showoff feeling will occur at V14.

kijima · May 2015

I'd just like to say thank you to EP and DC for providing me with enough AP to get yet another Legendary Masters weapon in Blackwater Blade, actually making is three in a row now.

Shucks you guys, most AD seem to hate both factions but I've gotta say, with the amount of AP you've given me, you've both been more than accommodating.

So Non Veteran is 5 day, yet it yields same rewards as a 30 day? Every 5 days be in 2% and receive a masters item?

Why do 30 day when 5 7 14 days yields same rewards but a longer wait?

kijima · May 2015

It's not end game gear, but yes to answer your question. Going back to PvE with a Masters weapon, so many lols.

Masters Ice staff = OP

qsnoopyjr · May 2015

In case anyone was wondering,
At level 28
Being placed 356 in Azura Star

I only got 10k gold and another mail with 3333 gold after playing 30 days..

Not sure if good or bad, if I should switch or not.
Currently on Azura Star I'm lvl 30 being placed 41 with 29 days left to go before I get any type of reward.

Kinda bummed I missed the cutoff 30% for the purple reward. Could've spent that time on different character getting 3 of 3 for another 10k gold!!
