For whatever reason, Psi-clone and Amorpha did hunting tonight, to support going after two likely Accolades — Freedom Phalanx Reservist (+10% HP) and Vanguard (1/25min secondary effect boost).
Ended up with the FP Reservist for each of us, after some badge hunting and lots of crisscrossing PI searching for Fake Nemesis. Yay.
Vanguard’s basically waiting for a stint in the sewer network for us, hunting down 100 Lost bosses.

And, as yo8u already know, while you were earning theFreedom Phalanx Reservist Accolade, I was getting Portal Juckey (+5% HP, +5% End).
Let me know when you go after the Lost bosses. I still need about 60 of them to get that Vanguard thingie.
Just a suggestion, but I found the canyons in Terra Volta get you the Lost bosses a lot faster, without annoying tunnels full of other crap to get through. You find a good canyon, and there’s four or five crowds of 20-something greys you can take out.
I meant level-20-something. Usually 4 to 5 bosses per crowd.
Yeppers…
And as we found out with Puck, Hype and Syn, The game will refuse to spawn more after about 30 minutes.
It was the funniest thing to see.
That does sound better than sewers, which I didn’t know about for Lost bosses.
Speaking of sewers, Avo still needs the Abandoned Sewer Trial, if any of you folks are up for it. It’d sure be nice to team with the lot of you again. (And I think I’m finally getting the hang of this Blaster stuff…)
It was pretty amusing flying back and forth across PI — parking garage, hotel, parking lot, docks, and back — and watch the Fake Nemesis popping up like gophers each time.
The TV trenches were one of the locations we were going to look, too. We’ll give that a try.
For the record, and it because it amuses me in light of recent brouhaha, I’m wearing the Freedom Phalanx Reservist accolade as my current badge.
The trench worked great (and never “ran out”). We both now are proud owners of the Vanguard badge.
Next on the list is Portal Jockey, which will mean doing the Praetorian AVs. Yippee!
I must be the only person who goes and gets his Vazh, Lost and Hellion badges in the Sewer Network at level 10-15 or so on most of his alts since everything tends to be grey and fast to die at about that point…
Margie’s been a lot more into that than I have — going after Boss lists, going after Exploration badges, etc. I’ve been more interested, until now, in getting a few badges that make for fun “subtitles” for my characters.
That’s what you were doing last night? Without me?
Dang it! I should have sent you a second Tell when I got no response to the first one.
Sorry, we logged on in the afternoon and parked in a mission when we went to a church thing and didn’t get back on until after 11PM. We were half way through the mission when we had to leave and rather than have it reset we just stayed in the mission.
Sorry we missed you!
Weekend review
Friday Mostly badge and accolade hunting for Psi-clone and Amorpha. Saturday Did some PUG work with Big Lungs. I’m not at all happy with the Sonic/Sonic combo — it’s okay, but boring — but I really like the way she…
Yes, we need to do a Hide thang when we park like that. I had several tells waiting for me when I got back.
((Grr. Firefox crashed and I had to rewrite this.)
Gordon Trench certainly worked well enough for finding Lost Bosses. Lots of groups nice and close to each other, with two Bosses in most groups. No waiting.
Now, where can I find similar locations for Masks and Illusionist pets? (BTW, are those the Decoys they summon? The danged things always seem to disappear before they can be defeated.)
The only other Accolade I’m missing is the Croatoa one, which is going to be difficult because I need to kill monsters (Jack, Eochai, and Sally) as well as Ghosts (about 200 to go).
Then there are Task Forces. (Apparently I did complete the Croatoa one! I remember we got stuck on the first part. I didn’t remember having restarted it, and then finishing it.) I’m doing the third Shard TF on Saturday. I gues there’s one more after that. Then the old Abandoned Sewer Trial.
Besides that, I still have a bunch of Achievement badges to earn. I need to defeat Overseers, Warrior Bosses, Zeus Titans, Sky Raider Skiffs, Family Bosses, and Outcast Bosses. I need to earn more Influence. I also have two that are completely unknown, and one I can never earn, at least with out using a respec (Heal Others).
Guess I’ll still have plenty to do after I hit 50!
Ghosts you can get from the Ghost Ship. It gets stuck often enough that it shouldn’t be a problem.
Margie has some insight about finding Masks (I believe it’s in Dark Astoria after nightfall).
Illusionist pets? Aside from in mission, the only place I know to find Carnies in the wild is in PI. And it’s not the Phantasms/Decoys, but the other gals in hoopskirts they summon up. I believe.
Of course, I’m not a badge completist, so I’m not obsessing on getting ones I don’t need. 🙂
Heya, thought I’d join in the fun.
The graveyard in Astoria is good for BP masks, and the area around the buildings closes to the DA gate in Talos are good for around 6-10 masks a ‘night’ in game time.
Striga is a great place to get the Warrior, Family, and Sky Skiff boss badges.
Zeus Titans..best place I’ve seen is in Malta missions.
Thanks, Sam! I’ll check them out. I tried Astoria for Masks, but not the graveyard.
Do you play on Champion? would I know your character(s)?
Heh. Questions answered. Sam looked me up in-game. Correctly surmised that I was hunting Masks, based on my location!
