Chapters Mission -- Monria Owner's Statement

History of this Mission

• this mission was previously called -- DSEC: Monria's Untold Story
• this mission was originally taken from Jen at the Monria Hub
• the original reward was a CDF Harness
• we wanted to upgrade the reward to be more in line with the effort it took to get the 4 chapters
• we also wanted the reward to be relevant to Monria's storyline and provide a benefit / buff
• this mission is now called -- "The Order of the Elder Gods"
• the old mission title has been updated to the new one in your Mission Tracker
• this mission also begins a new mission chain -- additional missions will be added in future releases

Current Status of the Horns

• when released, the horns were not as intended
• they were worn backward and not meant to be worn with face guards or helmets
• the horns are now worn correctly but further adjustments will be made
• next phase would be to acquire one of the 4 (UL) Monria armor helmets
• --- once both the horns and the (UL) armor helmet have been acquired ...
• --- take both back to Pinthas to exchange for a combined horns/helmet piece
• --- the horns and helmet become one armor piece and you will still have the horns buff
• --- the (UL) armor has been dropping, but is a rare drop, so not that frequently
• as mentioned above, this mission is now the beginning of a new mission chain
• what's in store cannot be disclosed at this time, but we don't think you'll be disappointed

Hello,

I've been missing the 2nd chapter for a while, and after killing a bazillion Yog still never looted it. Is there any problem with this? Do I have to kill a specific maturity to loot it? better big or small ones?

Thank you

Hi,

The chapters are a "special" drop, they don't drop frequently. They can be looted from any maturity. It is really hard to say when it will drop. It is all random, some get it within a few kills while others it takes a few thousands.

I have finished this mission and still loot the chapters, (I tt extras) so they are still dropping.
Good luck.

Shadow is correct in her response, the chapters are a rare drop, and there's no magic or specific system with which to get them to drop. It is also different for everyone. Some have gotten a chapter with only a couple hundred kills or so, while others it has taken much more.

The mission is working as intended, and the chapters drop from all maturities. I wish you the best for getting yours.

 

[Angel O2 Mercer]

Thank you both, I will keep decimating them

 

[DarkMoonEnigma]

Thank you both, I will keep decimating them

THAT's the spirit ... show 'em who's boss up in there.

• Chapter 4 -- Shub

First time I read this I was certain it implied I had to loot the chapters in actual order, 1 through 4.
"Loot the 4 chapters as follows in order, to receive the reward"

Now I'm back again, thinking it is meant to be interpreted as:
"Loot the 4 chapters as follows, in order to receive the reward"

Been holding off on my dailies for mobs other than the Shoggoths out of fear of looting a chapter and not getting mission progress On the plus side though, the shoggoth grind has treated me nicely

 

[DarkMoonEnigma]

I left the comma out after the word "order" intentionally so that it would not be interpreted that you must achieve getting the chapters in order, but I can see where it might still be misinterpreted.

I will update the post to make it more clear, thank you.
