Gratitude during difficult times
Posted

Hey folks! Here is a better-late-than-never guide to the ongoing event quest that started Wednesday of last week.
Items required:
Animal cage (100) - 2,000 coins each
Axe (10) - 50 coins each
Bow (any type) - Spring bow is 1,000 coins
Burst quiver (10) - 5,000 coins each
Catching net - 1,000 coins
In order to earn the legend mark from this event quest, you must acquire three "gratitude" tokens from NPCs involved to show to Customs Guard in Northern Buya Customs (via northeast Buya Gathering).
1) Farmer's gratitude:
- Go to Careful Farmer in Northern Buya Farms to purchase Burst quiver and Farms talisman (in case you need to leave and return quickly).
- Then see Hopeful Farmer, click through his messages and offer him "help". He will instruct you to shoot down crows to procure Green squash for him. Deliver 50 by saying "Green squash" to earn his gratitude.
(Note: Crows move quickly, and their target box is always at the murder's bottom, so either move & shoot in anticipation, or have a mage/rogue cast sleep to make them easier to hit.)
2) Poulterer's gratitude:
(Note: Animal cages are purchased from Dokami in Master Kyun's Enclave of Merchant subpath area, and produce Caged turkeys, which cannot be dropped or exchanged. Catching net is purchased from Jihye in Spiritual Garden of Do subpath area, and can be given to another.)
- Go to Rich Farmer in Northern Buya Fields, click through his messages and offer him "help". Equip and swing your Catching net at Slate turkeys until they become caged. Deliver 100 by saying "Caged turkey" to earn the gratitude.
(Tips: Acorn thrown at Slate turkey will stun it for about 15 seconds. Poets can also cast Barrier to hold it in place. Warriors may cast Backstab & Flank, and Rogues Cunning/Skillup 2+ to catch multiple turkeys at once.)
3) Scout's gratitude:
- At the Passage between Northern Buya Fields and Farms, go northeast and visit Concerned Druid. He explains that the crows attacking Farms come from Myungok, the old stronghold of the Unmu people.
- Purchase Myungok talisman from Concerned Druid to travel there.
- Equip Axe and chop the Haunted or Wicked Trees in the area. Woodcutter skill affects the process.
WARNING: Woodcutting here has a chance to provoke a Bloodspawn or Darkspawn that will instantly kill you on contact. At a safe distance, however, they can be defeated with repeated Taunt or Zap spellcasts.
- Bring Ebony wood to Unmu Scout that wanders the central part of Myungok. Click through his messages and offer him "help". Deliver 80 by saying "Ebony wood" to earn his gratitude.
4) Buya gratitude and rewards
- Turning in the 3 gratitudes to Customs Guard (by selecting "Of course I will help") will earn you Buya gratitude token. Take this to Buya Chamberlain in Buya Palace Courtyard.
- You will have three options of which mark will appear on your legend, each with a confirmation prompt: "Shown kindness during difficult times" (blue), "Shown greed during difficult times" (black), or "Shown hostility during difficult times" (red). Regardless of your choice, the Chamberlain also gives you a level 60 subaccessory called Buya grace jewel.
Incidentally...
If you go north of Northern Buya Farms, you will find tunnels leading to a cave, and discover a "Mysterious Mountain" with a mystical talking Wise Owl that says the following:
Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!

Server Reset - Thanksgiving Event is here
Posted

-- 10:00 AM EST

BOARD TITLE: Whispering Winds
FROM: NexusTK DATE: 11/25
SUBJECT: Server Reset - Nov. 25th, 2020
- Halloween event ends. If you still have cache keys to use, visit WoonSoo in the Incubator and he'll be able to assist you.
- Thanksgiving event begins! |
It is that time of the year to hunt turkeys again. This time they went loose in the farms north of Buya. To start the event just head to the Buya Gathering at the North of Buya and head to the new passage to the northeast.
There you'll cross the customs and reach the farming fields where you can once again hunt to get turkeys back into animal cages. This year, however there seems to be more to be done rather than just capturing fowls. People will also need to shoot down Crow flocks with burst arrows obtained at the Northern Buya Farms, and people can also reach a new town where Wicked trees are spawning and cut them off with our beloved axes.
Here is a copy of the Whispering Winds note about this event:
BOARD TITLE: Whispering Winds
FROM: NexusTK DATE: 10/25
SUBJECT: Attack of the Crows
There is unrest in the northern farms of Buya. Several thousand crows are flying daily from the northeast and have been destroying the harvest from the local producers. The flocks also attacked the main poultry house from where all the domestic fowls fled to the fields.
Worried about a possible scarcity of food, Queen Lasahn asked her son to lead an expedition to the northern region to investigate the reasons behind why there are so many birds fluttering around the farms. Since he still has not returned, the borders to the north have now been open to those who wish to go help solve the current situation.
Adventurers, beware! Countless turkeys are on the loose! |
The Nexus Atlas team is working on a full walk-through of the event, until it's published we advise you to check the community board for the amazing guide provided by several helpful members of the Nexus community.

There have been some change in Lost Kingdom this week. LadyPhoenix has stepped down and passed the Primogen role over to Merit! We caught up with Primogen Merit last night and this is what he had to say, "I would like to thank everyone in the clan for this opportunity! I am going to do my best to make Lost Kingdom and Buya proud.”
Lost Kingdom started off the celebration with a giveaway. Many left with smiles and full pockets!

Dossier - Iron Hands
Posted
by: Vini
-- 6:26 PM EST
|
Over the past decades, the community had multiple battles against a group of people known as Iron Hands. They are mostly famous because of the weapons and the hand items we obtained from fighting them, but there is much more to their story than we even know of. This dossier complies with all of the information we know about these dangerous foes.
Who are the Iron Hands and why do they worry our community so much?
  
The Iron Hands are a gang of outlaws obsessed with gaining power through the use of occult magic. They were first seen in the Vale when Melgis, Hacquin and their leader Gotesi were found looking for someone named Darengal.
Over the past years, the Iron Hands caused much trouble when they tried to use magic to open portals into ethereal realms of existence and pursued to gain control of our kingdoms by forging powerful weapons that are much stronger than anything we might be able to wield.
Below you'll find in details the essential aspects of each main event when we confronted the Iron Hands:
The Asmodi Eyes and the Key to the Other Planes (2013)
  
The first time we heard about them was back in Hyul 59 when they learned to control the 'eyes' that Asmodi (the caretaker of the Purgatory) uses to see between worlds. The 'Eyes' seem to be structures that the Asmodi use to oversee life and death. So, back then Iron Hands kidnapped the Asmodis, magically sealed them within a boiling earthly prison, and tried to use those 'eyes' to teleport to different lands to break the barrier of reality and conquer new lands.
The Iron Hands shamans however only learned to duplicate similar but very unstable Eyes. And it was with that instability that we were able to help the Asmodi sustain against the Iron Hands and gain back control of the 'Eyes'.
|  |
Our first victory against the Iron Hands had the help of a mysterious roguish figure known as Sharenth made an appearance. He seemed to be a member of the fallen Shadow subpath. Sharenth was a key figure in helping fight off the Iron Hands. which led the community to discover some weird realms of existence like 'Nowhere' and 'Nothing,' and new monsters.
Utilizing Ink and an item called "Geulimja" which allowed us to engulf ourselves in the Shadow and slit undetected through the area, we were able to help the Asmodi escape from the Iron Hands captivity and close their false Eyes being used by them.
During this first battle, it was when we were first able to collect the hand items known as Overseer eyes and Iron Hands gauntlets. Those who assisted the Asmodi were also granted with Nascent daggers (also known as Asmodi weapons), which were going to be used to help fight alongside them in the future.

The Iron Dungeon and the Most Powerful Weapon (2016)
The second confront against the Iron Hands happened during Hyul 81. It was then when we first discovered the Iron Dungeon after solving a puzzle with stone posts at the patio before entering the dungeon. It was there that we found them keeping four prisoners who were being forced to help the Iron Hands build an immensely powerful weapon known as Sip San Sear Blade.
To understand the power of a Sip san, we're still waiting to learn the secrets of the Oh san (5th mark), while the Sip san would be equivalent to the 10th mark (81.92 mil vita or 40.96 mil mana).
To create the Sip San Sear blade they were using a wooden model created by a Carpenter named Ern-Aaron and forcing another prisoner called Kid Smith (a very arrogant kid) to use the model to create metal versions of the weapon. If the Iron Hand succeeded in making such a weapon, they could be unstoppable.
 
It was one of these prisoners (an imprisoned traveler) who alerted us about the dangerous plans the Iron Hands had and how dangerous that weapon would be if they got to use it. The power of the new weapon would rival all others, and the wielder could destroy all those who attempt to stand against them. With this weapon, the Iron Hands could take over the kingdoms and establish a permanent Iron Hands ruling.
This is why the Iron Hands attacked the Asmodi. They knew the Asmodi would oversee their wicked plans and attempt to intervene. And, by gaining the power to use the Asmodi eyes, they have been able to travel, hide, and go where needed to build this awfully powerful weapon.
To defeat the Iron Hands and destroy their evil pursuits for power, the community counted with the help of not just the Ern-Aaron and Kid Smith but also the 4th prisoner known as Sulfium. He didn't know anything about weapon-making, but he knew about handling crystals and the crystals were needed for the weapons the Iron Hands were making. With the help of Sulfium, we were able to sabotage thousands of crystals from the Iron hands stock and make them unstable for usage.
 
In the end, people had to travel to the top of the Scribe's Mountain where they could find an Asmodi who was overly concerned about the Sip san weapons being brought to our plane of existence. They helped destroy the unstable Sip san weapons and from those, we were able to form the first batch of Iron hands weapons, the popularly known Flame spears, Featherlight arms, Sulfurule scepters, and Ernlere staff. While these weapons were far from being as powerful as the original design by the Iron Hands, they are powerful enough to have reshaped the hunting experience for all paths, but mostly for warriors and rogues, becoming a must-have weapon set.
However, the first attempt to stop the Iron Hands from pursuing these weapons wasn't the last. There were at least two more situations when the community had to fight off the Iron Hands in these attempts to create ultra-powerful weapons again. The third confront was back in Hyul 89 and the fourth confront against the Iron Hands was back in Hyul 106 when the Iron Dungeon was finally destroyed.
The Iron Fort and the Unearthed Nightmarish Creatures (2020)
After 9 Hyuls since the destruction of the Iron Dungeon, the community discovered a new base of operations by the Iron Hands.
Located at southwest of the Wilderness near the Wilderness Graveyard, the Iron Hands seem to have built a Fort in an area surrounding some ancient graves. They began stealing items and weapons from the graves, but accidentally seem to have unleashed some wicked angry wraiths.
Concerned with the dangers of those nature abominations, some Iron Hands rebelled against the leadership, but their mutiny failed, and they ended locked up in the Cells of the Iron Fort.
While then hundreds of Iron troopers and raiders continue roaming the Fort clueless of what to to next since their leadership is nowhere to be found. The only of among the leaders of the Iron Hands that was seen so far was Hacquin, who TigerRyu was able to spot during the first day their new hideout was discovered. |  |
 
Currently, the community is fighting to stop the Iron Hands from defiling more ancient graves, to fend off the dangerous enmities from infesting our plane of existence, and amidst all that, there's also a little girl that needs to be saved along with her talking teddy bear. Will we succeed in defeating the Iron Hands once more? Time will tell!
