Apparently the hibs went to Midgard, took back their relic, THEN WENT TO ALB AND DROPPED IT. Thus setting up two corpse summoners for themselves. Unbelievable.
they did it on the wrong server :(
It's just plain stupid. Why would you need a summoner in the first place if you're able to get into a relic keep anyway?
wtf?
Because it gives you a way to stay in the enemy frontier for mad RP farming. We do it at Nottmoor now and then.
OMG.
that's so funny. I'd love it if they dropped their str/power relics on us. Particularly mid. Because as it stands,we Albs don't go to our frontier anyway. There's an easy way to avoid RP farming in your frontier...
Don't go.
If you don't care about ever having DF, then it isn't a big deal. You can just ignore retaking your keeps until the guild claiming it runs out of bps.
Or do what we do on MLF - have the japanese/korean players take the keep back at 4am when no one is on.
"Because it gives you a way to stay in the enemy frontier for mad RP farming."
Really? I would think that, since they were able to beat down a relic keep, they shouldn't have a problem getting through a mile gate. As far as the summoner saving some time, I really doubt it saves enough time to make up for the relic raid required to do this relic operation. Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like an idiotic thing to do. The summoner's cool if they already have your relics, but going to all that effort just to get one seems a little bass ackward to me.
Yeah, what's even more funny is a high number of mids are whining about how they should give our relics back because albs have corpse summoners in their frontier. But at the same time, they're so cocky about the relics, they'd probably shrivel up and die if they lost them when their egos deflate and the 20% bonus drops.
One of the cheesiest tricks is for assassins. Buff them and send them out rezsick. They kill a target, die, and give no RP in return. Repeat. Also works nice for roaming groups who wipe somewhere... no downtime waiting for the portal.
