Mini Games ruined Badge Titles and more

Got the quest to open 5 amethyst chest for the badge titles for the 4th day in a row, and with the new aggro range I don't believe it is possible to complete this quest.
In order to spawn the chests you must open the treasure room within 4 minutes, I have sucessfully completed this mini over 1200 times on on 2 toons. I can still finish the game, but no way in under 4 minutes so one of the badge title dailies is useless to me since I now only get that quest.The same way I only get the Sandos quest.
And since its real hard to find people to farm Sandos every day, I'm pretty much down to 2 do-able quests for the badge titles.

And with the mobs in Goblins not dropping anything,just where are the recipes for Hero Pots etc going to drop?
And how about the Serenstrum recipe from the Steppes Games? seems like mats only in there now also.

The xp\tp in Gobs is ok, but the other changes to the mini's are now just annoying, the games are do-able but after the first half dozen times feel like more work and a waste of time.
Personally I work 10 hour days, so getting in to the game is supposed to be fun, not another job that just takes up more hrs with little enjoyment.

Way to think this stuff through GF.

Lol, you have completed it 1200 times and you can't beat it within 4 minutes?

I've completed it about 120 times and I can still get to the treasure room in about 1.5-3 minutes.

It's not that hard, here's a few tips.

1. Hide works amazingly well on the outer areas, and the inner area.

2. Don't snipe the dogs, snipe the archers (the ones that fear you)

3. You can charge right through area's if you have the buff to remove the ghosts, and keep going, they will de-aggro and run back.

4. If you get 15s invuln use it to get through archers and get 1 of the 3 magic towers + a buff.

5. If your a strong warrior or rogue just auto attack the dogs down

6. If you are in a tight spot and need a ghost removing buff, chain the target following you and get it quick and don't look back. (same applies if you get a trap buff)

Also - Escape artist or movement speed increasing buffs will do wonders. 10% bonus from a title and unbridled unthusiasm will increase your completion time remarkably.

Rule of thumb, try, try and try again, you'll get it eventually. If it doesn't work, your doing it wrong, so do it differently.

Ok, post a video of you doing that and getting the 5 stones in under 4 minutes at level 80, showing us your mainhand weapon also, no edits on the run through either.

Get the stones after you've opened the room...

Gosh is it too hard to understand how to win this minigame?

You open the main room, that gets rid of 1/4 of the monsters. making the middle room a safe area.

You also get 2 buffs in the middle room and there is 1 stone.

If you absolutely need a video I might find time for one, but It's not rocket science, have a little imagination.

Took me my third try to get the ancient treasure minigame down after the changes. I dont have OP white dps, so i had to use fancy foot work, use the skills given to me correctly, strategically and memorize where exactly the 3 candles you need to light. so you dont spend minutes getting lost looking for them.

I concur with Mamnoon, get the stones after opening the room/chests. they arent going anywhere :p

Personally i find it stil pretty much a waste of time, the rewards are insufficient for a high level experienced player. The fact that its a bit harder just makes it more easier for me to not want to do it. Just my 2 cents.

Unless I mess up and do something stupid, like trying to get all the stones before I get all three torches lit, I can get the amethyst chests every run.

Noony is exactly right, I would just suggest not trying to melee any mobs, at least as a warmage, they seem to have a 90% damage reduction. But you don't need to. Use the freaking special skill boxes. Use hide. Use chain. Use every skill in there.

Stop trying to run through there and pretend you're a lowbee again and DO IT THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED TO BE PLAYED. THINK! Use some "stratergery." Getting the amethyst chests isn't impossible; frankly, it's not even difficult. It's exhilarating. Remember fun? Ancient Treasure Hunt is fun now.

I've done it at 55 (and at 57, 58 and then 60 after 62 agro range is null) so personally I don't need a video of HOW to do it, but I want to see a video of you doing the entire thing under 4 minutes at 80.


edit not sure why it double posted your quote. you can also out run the agro there, if you pass through a few of the gates eventually the guards will stop chasing you feign helps also.

completing the mini game WITH getting the 5 stones in less than 4 mins (this means 6mins left on the counter) is almost impossible.
i complete it the standard way that used to follow be4 patch too. running all outer room clockwise and collect the 2 candles and 4 stones. then enter last room and quickly deactivate last candle and all is done. pick last stone last. invisibility is the bread and butter, 1 snipe too, rest stuff r occasional.
since changes released this works for me every day, with special mission accomplished (1 AT charge + the 5 extra mount chests)

Yer tis in error concernin yer timin. Ter get the extra chests ter spawn yer needeth 4 min LEFT on the clock. Not complete it in 4 min. So that doth giveth yer 6 min ter run it.

Also, the complaints bout aggro must be comin from ppl who no bother ter user strat. Me usered ta run the minigame on lvl 17 toons (back when the only way ter get recons - long ago) successfully. Whilest me no bothers ter run it on lvl 17 toons these days, tis obvious, avoidin aggro tis a skill yer needeth ter learn. Stop yer whinin.

really yea ive died a few times cuz i got impatient and tried to plow through but with some of those tips i can prolly do it better now and really the only chest's that are useful are the ones that give guild mats and the tokens and shells i mean i collect the rune's just cuz i like them and have the chest for it but not much of the other is very useful the mount tickets in Cot are easier to get and u have a decent chance of getting a 7day one and ur likely to get more than one when ur through if u get all the chests open and now with the CoT and ss mini giving u tokens u can do all the mini's on one day's worth of mini's and now andor also gives shells and to get the mats u can just go afk for the andor and let them pass the line its not that hard and not much is useful other than the shells in the mini's anyway only thing i really need is the master repair hammer in gg and i have so many i really never need them and in the first place with drill grounds fixed u can get the hammers from honor merchants in obsidian so not that big a deal as long as u get the shells which is the main reason fro mini's

This game is more like watch and learn

-mobs won't attack you unless you're in front of them, regardless the level
-even skills doesn't work, other stuff works (unbridled enthusiasm, invis pots, crystal candy, etc)
-there's a stone tablet on each hallway and each corridor and one in the central area, so you have a torch clear all barriers nearby
-there's 1 candlestick to be lit on each hallway and 1 on central area.

Avaiable skills on the beggining will do but you can pick extra on your way if you can afford the time. Some of them might save your title. Basically I just go for the tablets on the external areas first, and litting candlesticks on the path, if you got 4 tablets and 2 lit candlesticks you're ready for central area. As I told before if you stand behind a mob it won't attack you. Use this as an advantage to pop invisibility when needed only. Invis pots have a 2 min cooldown but gives you more speed and more time than the skill, also dogs won't see you. If you use the skill near a dog it will see you no matter what. So I rather shot the dog instead of the archers.

Certain titles that give a buff with the new system will have a badge in the top right corner of the title in the title list. titles with that badge are called "badge titles" and the badge will have a roman numeral ranging from I to VII, the number refers to the Title level required to equip that title for its buff. You do those title quests to get xp gems and reputation badges, the xp gems are used to level your title level.

On a side note, Gobs seems to be broken for me and my guildies, wont let us enter. Maybe they are in the same union as the Bedim mobs and are striking in a show of solidarity.

Yeah Gobs is broken for me too. It will not let me enter and after about a minute I get booted to the login screen.
