Some Questions From A Newb

[Aelin_Ashryver]

Thanks for the insight! Last question.. probably. I see there is an event on right now, The Rising. I did the "In adventurers we trust" quest and got the minion and music. But the earrings after looking I see are gotten from a vendor for rising token but I don't know where to get those? Is there more event quests to do to get them?

This is sort of the quirk in the event this particular year: There's an NPC that randomly spawns near where you picked up the initial Rising quest called the Rising Recruiter. He'll have a repeatable quest available that takes you into an instanced area similar to a dungeon, but it's essentially in the streets of Ul'Dah. I believe you have to be, at minimum, level 30 to join, but the cap is level 50. It's basically a chaotic FATE-fest with tough, but if you manage to get through all of them you'll get enough tokens for both the earrings.

Edit: I should also mention the once the NPC spawns, he sticks around for about three hours before he disappears again. I've also heard he might also spawn in Limsa and Gridania too, but I haven't confirmed this for myself. Basically you'll just have to keep your eyes open. Also, once you're in the instance, be sure to give a /shout to let people know you're looking for a party. You'll need to be in one to get the most possible tokens from the instance!

Yeah, he spawned right next to the rising merchant the one time i saw him. Went inside, cleared a couple of the fates for tokens. Didnt get enough for both earings(i did get the ones that matter) though because a LOT of people left after the first fight either because they had all they needed or because they didnt realize there were several more fights to come. Eventually there werent enough of us to win. And while we tried to recruit more via LSs and FCs we were told that the recruiter had left.

I can confirm the Rising Recruiter spawns in all three cities - when I did that instance I entered from Gridania - the npc appeared in Mhi Khetto's Amphitheater, so presumably the Limsa one would appear at the Aftcastle).

Also, when you are in the instance you can stay in the instance even if the FATEs are completed, as they will restart automatically after a minutes, assuming you still have time on the clock for the actual instance, which is one hour if I remember right. But this is more than enough time to get enough tokens to get both the Manderville Earrings and the White Ravens, assuming you are at least level 50, as anything less than that is going to have a hard time. .

Thanks guys I managed to get in but was mostly getting 2 tickets per fate being lvl 31 at the time. Not only that I somehow got it into my head it was 100 per earring so I grinded out 200+ tokens.. xD Took quite a while! I reckon I earned those.. I'm up to level 42 now and hyped for 50 so I can glamour my summons back into carbuncles <3

Next time you're in a similar instance, try shouting for a party invite. You get a lot more credit that way since it counts the party's contribution and not yours solo. The Rising FATEs can award up to 20 tokens each.

If you haven't used the shout command before, you just type into the textbox:
