How do I get into the stronghold? - Blades4hire - 2011-07-26

So, I got to 160 today, and I went to future ereve. However, when I tried to enter the stronghold, it said "security is to tight" or something. I heard you need to do a quest for a badge to get in. Which quest is this and what do you need to do?

Gotta be 165 to get the quest for the stronghold, or 170.

Oh, I guess that fine then, since nearly all stronghold parties have a bishop.

I know quite a few bishops that aren't hs mules and have pretty good equips to be decent at attacking.
Am I missing something about stronghold that repels bishops?

the fact that the monsters deal enough damage to OHKO almost everything, and 3HKO your average warrior later on.

Exactly how much do these monsters deal? O.o
Sorry for my ignorance about this.

If you go deep enough you're looking at the ability to 2-hit a Shadower with MG, 5000 defense, and 10 thousand HP.
I'm laughing at the fact that bishops would even go there since it's such a god forsaken pot burn compared to their LHC rope leech. I've had bishops, but they're the kind that are super rare, also known as your attacking bishops.

5-7k per attack is pretty typical, a pimped out Paladin could get as low as 3-4k... Meanwhile at LHC it's more like 1-1.5k, and the same Paladins are taking no damage at all.

fully buffed i have 5k defense, the starting mobs hit me for around 3k, while the advanced knight A hit me for 8k, and 9k when under the attack buff, so it's pretty easy to die there, had to escort a corsair to the empress door, it wasn't pretty, she lost around 70% of her HP while on ship with HB and iron will

a pally i know fully buffed max def after inflicting threathen got hit the amount stereo said.


How do I get into the stronghold? - Blades4hire - 2011-07-27

9k? Holy Pomegranate.
I've heard people complaining about the high pot usage there, but I never expected something that insane.
Even with HB, I'd get 2 hitted if I use one ginger ale between attacks O.O.
Are the early areas that hit 3-5k any good?

We've been spoiled since they changed the def formula and nerfed basically all damage. High level areas should be high level threats. Now if they'd just fix the bosses...

The problem is, the threat is out of proportion to the reward. They're still only dropping 3-4k mesos, so you burn pots training there. And they can't be stunned, sealed, frozen, etc. because they're bosses...

and how much you spend deeper in? ofc, in your case, the more funded you are, ther less you spend.

the early areas are ok, but if you can train at the end, it's godly.

Sad part.
Most people can barely survive lower areas, let alone the higher areas.

Just wondering (more like noob question), why people would go there? Godly exp? And even if that place is godly exp, do they drop anything nice?
