Tier 2 Raiding?

I was thinking I can't be the only one comparing Tier1 stats with Sentinels, Azure etc and arriving at the conclusion that an upgrade to Tier 2 long overdue.

So, I will try to get enough people together for raiding the Archaic dungeons in Adonis and maybe even Penumbra where embryos have better drop rates.

I won't be setting a fixed schedule for this, but I'll spam guild chat whenever I possibly can ;) Needless to say, this will be a challenge, but it could prove fun if we don't take it too seriously.... the mobs will be badass mofos, but so are we... there is no surrender! :twisted:

I am compiling a spreadsheet which lists all the different parts needed for all profs, but I have no site for hosting it, so for the time being just ask me :)

Anyone interested?

EDIT:
I scouted the catacombs in Adonis, and the mobs I 'met' were lvl 200-208, hitting for 1200-2200 regular hits. This means we need a decent team, with tank, healer(s) good CC (Crat preferably).

Sadly, the walls in this dungeon are bugged (LOS), so there it's very hard to avoid adds.

EDIT 2: Link to my guide for tier armor crafting.

Unless I am mistaken, I think all need something called "red glyph of (insert name here). Keep in mind that you can make helmet aswell in tier2. you need to somehow upgrade the jobe helmet to "advanced jobe helmet" first. Not sure how to do this. Might be some thread about that on the official forums.

Basically, the IPS dude will tell you exactly what you need, except for the shoulderpads, helmet and life support system. We know the Joker's Glyph is the key, but nobody had found/made it yet according to the lack of forum info. So I'm leaving those pieces out for now.

EDIT: Joker's Glyph will drop from Eradicus (end boss in Adonis static dungeons) after patch 15.4!! yay :)

For every other armor part, you need the following:

3 x Will of the [insert your specific type, same as for Tier 1 Visions]
1 x Embryo of Yomi'Arallu
3 x Advent of the [again, your prof. specific type]
1 x Canister of Pure Liquid Notum

(Multiply all this by 6 for a full set of the normal pieces.)

1. Give Wills and Embryo to your IPS dude, recieve Red Glyph of [your specific type.]

2. Give 3 Advents to your IPS dude and recieve your special glyph (Orange, Purple, Black, White, Green).

3. Awaken your Red Glyph by adding the Liquid Notum.

4. Combine your Red Glyph - Awakened with the special coloured glyph.

5. Combine the resulting final glyph with your Tier 1 armor piece (ql 160).

That's it :)

EDIT: Stillhaa found this great link to a site with good info on making Tier armor (in French):

1 amendment to Smacs list up there. You do not need a Canister of Pure Liquid Novictum for Tier2 .
The 3 Wills and the embryo go together to make 1 glyph, and the 3 Advents go together as the 2cnd glyph. Then you add glyph1 to the armor part, and 2cndly you add the 2cnd glyph to the armor part. :D

I hope you are right Cogs, but it doesn't really make sense when you look at all the ql 160 Glyphs in the database: http://auno.org/ao/db.php?cmd=search&qlmin=160&qlmax=160&name=glyph

That list is what leads me to believe that you have to combine the Red and the second colored glyph first, to become a "Red Glyph of the Emperor" for instance (Trader specific). But of course, not all items are in use and the process could work as you say without the use of these glyphs... I was just making deductions based on DB info. :)

Hmm....I was pretty sure you dont need Liquid Notum for Tier2.
On the other hand, I think you are right on combining the 2 glyphs first, then combine that final glyph with the armor.
Must dig into this, and find out about that Liquid Notum.
