How could you tell since all your rogues just shadowdance, vanish, and waylay from the shadows!

You could tell because, for the majority of the fight, I was laying bound on the ground taking all the shots. (48s of bind at one point)

There was just mention of not assisting with the wyrm because they are not in HW. I've been having that issue too. I can get there in time to help, but if I'm not staying in HW . . . it's a pretty hefty fragment cost. Might be nice if participants got 7 or 8 fragments when the wyrm was searched. Just a nice to have.

#

I usually come up for them and stay and do a hunt to refill then head back down, btu I get the sentiment.

#

Yea anytime I head back for a wyrm/sybil I just do a greatchamber run and refill my fragments before I leave

Lockbox would be okay, but figure the wyrm search would include folks that jumped in to help, but didn't make the top 5. Usually I'm off doing something else with a friend or working on some coding lately. So just running out to HW to lend a hand. Little tired of the jewel hunt for the moment.

Just noticed I have this as 3 items in my inventory and when somebody looks at me.

You have 2 ebon bolt of energys stuck in your left arm, and a crackling ebon bolt of energy stuck in your chest!

I don’t save logs (I know I should!) but I saw that clip you posted with the 900+ AS. Typically the wyrm can’t hit me with physical stuff, but I suspect if I don’t have wizard’s shield and/or a ruby amulet up now, it’ll probably make me bleed

#

This definitely will make it harder to tweak your way through with a fresh capped character

#

Just based on the amount of hits we took, and the speed at which we took that thing down, it would be very hard to keep a fresh capped character alive for a “normal” kill. You’d need to really optimize your tankiness and be creative with spells and such, and probably get a little lucky to survive

#

I think my wizard is like 900 DS, 260 HP and has an inordinate amount of crit padding in brig equivalent armor. For perspective

dark fog
#

i'd still expect to die as fresh capped, CA or no haha

magic wigeon
#

Well people have obviously managed to make their way through the wyrm. I don’t know how often that will happen going forward.

I don’t really have skin in the game one way or the other, just making an observation!

tawdry drift
#

i agree i don't think it makes a big difference. it's already been instant death for any near cap pure basically coming in if they get targeted and we've carried dozens/hundreds of them lol.

magic wigeon
#

I can’t remember… do you need to survive the whole way through to get credit for the kill?

dark fog
magic wigeon
#

Ahh. Yeah, then people will still get through. Just in pieces 🙂

tawdry drift
dark fog
#

i feel like with more people and more CA, the wyrm’s experience will basically be the same - having more people just means more probability of having a crew of heavy hitters

#

Was the CA boost on the wyrm intentional or a bug? I thought early statements by Auchand were that the wyrm wouldn't be tuned/adjusted for CA, but maybe I misremember or things changed.

Bolts are also trivial to hit at the end of the fight really when it’s weakened but obviously getting an SMR in earlier is better.

Did it again tonight, partially... the river transition was again triggered by 719 by Desorceri. The river phase went it's normal full duration after Desorceri was slain. So, we're 3 for 3 with 719 triggering early phase transitions or kills. Bugged it in game.

cunning vector
#

A section for 719 in the wiki states:

Training the applicable Elemental Lores will increase the damage and severity of the critical strike for the corresponding element.```
So perhaps he is attuned to air and heavily ranked in air lore which gave him this wyrm shock death chance.

Wait, how do you start this quest? I did QUEST and this is all that shows up:

  1) Into the Rift                   Available     The Rift             Mechanical  
  2) A Sparkling Ascent              Available     Unknown              Mechanical

Are one of those two the quest?

pastel current
#

I don't actually know, but I suspect it's #2. QUEST INFO 2? Edit: yeah, "A Sparkling Ascent" is the gemstones quest

weak wolf
#

Oh yeah, I guess it is number 2.

Name:          A Sparkling Ascent
Rewards:       Mechanical
Prerequisites: You must be level 100.

Investigate the ancient power of the Lunar Shard Gemstones.

"Sparkling Ascent" kind of threw me off, but I guess "sparkling" because gemstones are sparkly.

#

Thank ya. Now I just need to find some people who want to help my friends get through the quest a couple of dozen times.

Well - At least 5 wyrms and 5 sybils were slain this afternoon. Perhaps more. Thank you to everyone who was involved, especially Destrian, Imrys, and Peggyanne. Congrats to @novel moat for starting the quest!

The wiki doesn't spoil the Sybil components. Can anyone send me the info?

weak wolf
#

Did they buff the Sybil at all recently?

I have a pretty solid group that I take in there and I usually face no issues at all, maybe a hiccup every now and again, but nothing too bad.

The last few times I have fought her though there have been major setbacks every time and sometimes I just barely manage to get the kill, once it was even a complete wipe.

Just bad luck on my part recently?

There are good runs and bad runs. I've had a few that had me rethinking life choices.

#

haven't noticed a difference myself

#

but, during rapid successive sybil kills, I have observed how sometimes gates seem to spawn way more than normal, as if they're triggered by both the prior and current sybil battle in progress

pallid salmon
#

All of my sybils have felt the same it mostly depends on the questers ability to get that hit in and how fast you can go thats made a difference. It does feel like sometimes if your doing back/back/back that sometimes the gates go crazy like they don't full reset.

If you fall behind on Gates it feels like you stay behind.

i'd like to fight the wyrm soon, how many people are needed? is there a group that does it somewhat regularly? thanks

undone tendon
#

Naturally spawning wyrms are free-for-alls, basically it means you need to be in Hinterwilds when it spawns (and one should be spawning in the next hour or so)

A max of 5 people can get to the phased version of the fight, so the top 5 damage dealers.

You can join wyrmwatch - the esp channel and we have a wyrmslayers discord https://discord.gg/M55dGYgH

Annnnnd depending on who's around and what our idol stock looks like, often we can make you a group and summon a wyrm for you 🙂

After helping to slay one of the great cold wyrms of the Hinterwilds,
you noticed a group of gigas from Eldurhaart watching you. Perhaps
you should go to the village and see what they want.
You get the feeling that the gigas of Eldurhaart view you as worthy
and will not harm you if you extend to them the same courtesy.

I somehow survived the fight with rank 3 wounds everywhere.  Fun tanking for the group I think I was stunned most of it but still got a Smite or two in.  Should've stayed in defensive tbh

Wyrm arrival messaging will now echo if you are inside a tent erected in the Hinterwilds, or in a private property in the Hinterwilds, etc.

not the gigas setting up their fort or the wargs or whatever because that is more involved room wise but the wyrm sure

Are there stables in Cold River

There are not... but we're not opposed to stables.

And tables, tables would be grand.

We don't need no stinking tables. On the other hand, we could certainly use some extra containers, busted crates, a stray shelf, containers that absorb or stack small statues and quartz orbs moonstone cubes..

Hi, I'm interested in this quest line but have no idea how to start it. I did accept the quest, attempted to travel up to the HW and got destroyed after I crossed the river. How does one appropriately ask for help or what is a good way to get this going? Appreciate the help in advance.

you kill the wyrm, talk to a few people, kill some more monsters, kill the sybil, and you'll get your quest done

So who gets the style points on this kill? Fulmen for knocking her onto me with the deathblow... or me for her dying from falling on me?

A silver-scaled cold wyrm's aura absorbs some of the damage!
...wait 1 seconds.
  AS: +921 vs DS: +389 with AvD: +30 + d100 roll: +90 = +652
   ... and hits for 234 points of damage!
   Hard blow breaks the femur!
A silver-scaled cold wyrm struggles to stay upright, but her weakened limbs cannot support her prodigious mass.

[SMR result: 172 (Open d100: 17, Bonus: 79)]
You make a vain attempt to dodge the cold wyrm, but the fullness of her weight crashes into you as she falls!
A dark rusalkoren cuirass chased with faintly glowing azure swirls partially deflects the onslaught of the crushing attack.
   ... 9 points of damage!
   Large gash to your right arm, several muscles torn.
   You are stunned for 1 round!
An unseen force entangles you, restricting your movement!
   A silver-scaled cold wyrm falls to the ground grasping her mangled left leg!

Belching a toxic mix of acid and blood from her maw, the wyrm struggles for purchase on the disc, but her titanic musculature has no more strength within it.  The wyrm topples over the side, dissolving into motes of color as she plummets out of sight.  Her death throes manage to upend the platform, and you fall into the abyss, hurtling after the dying wyrm.

So let’s get this straight. Fulmen makes a massive swing with the morning star of doom to fell the mighty beast. And you… get squashed.

We all have a role to play!

I kind of feel like you reverse uno'd her and therefore deserve the aura points for the kill.

Holy AS…. Jesus, I just realized how bad I am

You're not bad, Fulmen is just on a completely different level than the rest of us.

would have been great if he toppled it and you ahd spikes flare and kill it

#

It would be great if you could severely wound all 4 limbs to keep the wyrm laying down and prevent the falling mess

#

So im looking at cap sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. Is the gemstone quest viable for a freshly capped character to take part in?

pallid salmon
#

Its easier for some classes than others but yes anyone can theoretically get through it with the right group. Before they added the cap requirement there were several precap people who did it

vivid tree
#

The only class/build that absolutely struggles is TWC Kroderine Soul rogues, notably if you don't have Brawling as a backup.

dense wharf
#

Whats a typical group size? I see only top 5 damage dealers move into the final phase, are groups frequently larger than that?

pallid salmon
#

If you have an idol people generally respect the build your own group around it and you can limit it to 5 so everyone gets through. Don't buy one though there are plenty of free ones around just ask around. The natural wyrm spawns are more of a gamble for who goes for it

dense wharf
#

Ah, ok, so its possible X number of completely unassociated individauals can all converge on a given spawn, got it.

magic wigeon
#

All you need is a group of 4 other stone cold wyrm killers and it will be a breeze, pretty much no matter what. I mean, you’ll probably die, but you can still get credit for it.

Or just make sure Jaired is in your group, and you probably don’t need anyone else.

pure moss
tawdry drift
#

i mean statistically any "random" group will probably have enough of the "wyrmhunters" just by chance that it's not an issue. Cause you won't believe this, but the people who are pretty outfitted for helping on that task are generally logged on quite a bit! 😄

magic wigeon
#

They may or may not also spend a ton of time on Discord

tawdry drift
magic wigeon
#

Usually a group of 3 or so higher experience players can carry 2 first-timers through at a time.

So yeah, don’t worry at all, just go for it. It’s a fun fight with a ton of scroll.

Definitely one of my larger hits for a killshot there:

You quickly step from hiding to deliver your waylay!
You swing a honed rusalkoren tomahawk at a silver-scaled cold wyrm!
Bands of prismatic light resonate in steady rhythm around your tomahawk.
A silver-scaled cold wyrm's aura absorbs some of the damage!
  AS: +924 vs DS: +363 with AvD: +26 + d100 roll: +87 = +674
   ... and hit for 626 points of damage!
   Lucky shot rips through bone and muscle sending left leg flying.
