You know, I've honestly never heard anyone describe the fortress (the former city of Mistas) as being something you get to from Justice.

Every description I've heard from 2003 until now was coming in from the Honesty moongate which is just across and south from the bridge shown on the left side of the image in the right-most small picture. Justice is probably a little safer (no chance of a paragon golem, dragoon, or juka until you get to the clearing between the bridges, where one of the random gypsy camps occasionally spawns), but probably not shorter (if it is, it's not by much).

These you can't mark runes for as they are in Ilshenar.

To the Juka Fortress from the Justice Moongate:

Can just go to spawn and kill stuff. Plot line is just for us lore nerds...

They certainly have left us a mystery this time. I have great faith in you, and trust there are hints in EM Malichi's great writing. :grouphug:

EL! *huggles* SO good to see you!

I am still trying to figure out a logical way that would lead us to Jaana, now that the content is officially active. I just happened upon her by chance

what is the respawn time for the champ spawn??
After the first one on Origin it took roughly 15-20 minutes before it started again.

You can always come to ATL for a quick spawn.... the spawns I've done haven't last longer than 8min lol

I haven't gotten a spawn drop yet, they go fast... but it does allow me at a chance very quickly. Then it's 30min to wait

Well it started at 7:24 and it was over at 7:34 (finished grabbing gold at 7:34) so at 7:30am it took about 10min on ATL :oops:

That said, got my first statue (zombie) within the first minute or so... did not get a second one from the spawn though.

Should have been on Atl last night. We literally did one in 3 minutes. Was damn near more players than there was spawn :lol:

Nice. Did not know the statues popped off of her (she's a Meer Mage :thumbup1:). I have only gotten drops from side 1 and 2. Glad they drop on the rest too.

Any of the spawn can drop the statues.

Still wondering what they are for, if anything.

We still have to free the captured townsfolk and stop the dark ritual.

Ya took me 5 tries to get a belt because the same guys were standing at the idol and killing the Boss over and over. They were lasting about 4 minutes.

I went to the spawn last night just to look at it, stepped through to central Ilshenar, got attacked by a paragon chasing my guildmate, and got a pink lich drop from the first thing I killed (and nothing since)

Statue drops seem to me to be very random. I've taken two characters at once - a bard who stands there provoking a bit but mostly buffing my archer. My archer has repond slayer and undead slayer bows, and one-shots all the reponds except the Guide. The archer probably gets 50 times as many kills as the bard. The last time I ran it, my bard got a drop and the archer didn't.

I have been going on and off today...bringing it to lvl 3 and then letting it revert. Not sure if you have to actually complete it to get more because I got a pink zombie first thing this morning and nothing since.

That was the best way to get cubes so I'm sure it works here also.

Okay that's what I thought, I hope they didn't change that because I don't mind helping people kill the boss that still need the belt but if we don't HAVE to kill her I'd rather not! lol

I verified that the same toon can go server to server to get belts. Now to find a server that is still doing the spawn other than Atl and LS.

We are doing it quite regularly on Origin. If there's noone at the spawn, give a shout in gen chat. I go off and on just to see about getting a statue or two but if someone needs the belt I'll always come to help.

I do have a workable toon on LS, I might hop on there in a bit to see how helpful ya'll are ;)

#Pawain Great Lakes is doing it pretty regularly.
I want to know why GL's Champ Boss is 10xs harder than other shards and why it's name is red compared to other shards?

Name is read on Atl. GL did not seem much harder than on Atl to me, just less folks killing it so it took longer

Nope she is right. I do both ATL and GL, and the GL had the same # people as ATL at the time. The boss in GL has much more frequent area kill than ATL. Name etc is same, boss is much harder, due to much more frequent AOE vs ?? from the boss.

They do the spawn on LS every 30 mins. I have just a plain mage tamer that can travel. I can't go again until tomorrow. Watching football right now. I'll try GL and origin. On GL no one ever answers me in chat.
