Adventures can be defined as an easy dungeon mode, similar to Wow’s scenarios, but with a numerous choices. Unlike dungeons, while playing Adventures, players should focus more on strategic elements: making a right decision and choosing the best path.
- Adventures are made for a 5 man group. You can however join with smaller group and still complete them, but winning gold or silver medals are going to be less possible.
- At launch, there will be 6 Adventures in total, and four of those will have veteran modes for end game characters. Riot in the Void and The Hycrest Insurrection are Faction based. Because of that, playing one race will let you experience 5 adventures in total.
- The first adventure comes at level 15, and the last one at level 45. There is also a veteran level difficulty for adventures. You can start with veteran content at level 50.
- Adventures have various amounts of scenarios, from where you can choose your run through adventure. Various adventures give various tasks.
- Before you can queue for an Adventure through LFG system or directly with your group, you have to discover the entrance (Sim Core). Tip: In order to find adventure entrance, open up global map. Their locations are marked with a purple dots. When you mouseover, you can see their name.
- When you reach the adventure level, you get call via communicator. Accepting this call and a quest “Sim Core”, will lead you toward the adventure entrance. At the end of the quest, you will have to defeat a couple of very strong mobs.
- Once you obtain access to any adventure, you can enter it as many times as you wish.
- If your character is higher level, your stats and level will be decreased to the level of adventure.
- Inside any adventure you’ll obtain missions that must be completed. Completing each task in timely manner, rewards you with medals at the end of the adventure. These medals give additional and better loot.
- Time to complete one adventure is between 20 and 60 minutes.
- Potential rewards for completing adventures are: Renown (resource for participating in group content), gear, storage bags, experience (leveling experience and elders game experience), achievements, elder points, various loot like: tradeskill recipes, house decor items and etc.
- Loot rewards are in inverse proportional to the time invested in finishing tasks. The faster you complete your tasks, the better rewards will be acquired. Your choices will affect potential loot, thus choosing the same route rewards with the same rewards.
- Creating more complicated adventure on veteran level is not achieved by simply increasing amount of HP and creatures’ damage output, but rather introducing new mechanics. For example bosses get new abilities, you get less time to complete tasks and etc.
- All adventures except The War of the Wilds require tank, healer, dps. War of the Wilds is MOBA style adventure.
- You will not find (or at least we haven’t found) Lorebooks, Datacubes and Tales inside adventures.
