Overview:
With all the problems raiders face with the myrial of game bugs, raiding bugs, server and chunk instability and the like, one of the more frustrating challenges faced is the confusion surrounding diplomacy buffs. Players diplo for many different reasons apart from putting up civic buffs for raiding. Most notably to level up diplomacy, gain temporary crafting buffs or temporary diplomacy presence and diplo cards. This thread is an attempt to clarify what buffs will give the best gaming utility to the best spread of players and to focus the Telon server communty effort into a consistant approach to diplomacy.
Lets reach a common understanding on what diplo buffs we should keep up to acheive the best result for our raiders, adventurers, crafters and diploers!
What to Push & Where:
These can be gotten in Afrit or Seawatch Coast
- Supernatural Laws - (Spell damage) Academic/Interview
- Shield of Law - (Rune) Academic/Convince
- Slave's Constitution - (HP) Outsider/Incite
- Azuril Raj Afrit - (Melee Damage) Noble/Incite
Crafting Buffs
I often see crafting buffs up all over Telon in a myriad of different civic centres. There is nothing wrong with this per se, however often these buffs will conflict with much needed adventuring and raiding buffs. If crafters could go to one place to gain all the buffs would this not be more advantageous? Bordinar's Cleft is a great place for this. Not only does it allow all primary crafting buffs but it also allows all three secondary crafting buffs, all with very little risk of conflicting with adventurers and raiders. On top of this buffs reach out to Southwatch, a short ride or flight from the NT rift.
Leveling Up Diplomacy
Players leveling up their diplomacy often find the quickest way to do so is to find an NPC that is the highest parleyable level and just cycle through the different parley's on that one NPC. Unfortunately, this means they are pushing the diplo levers up and down with the effect that it can become very difficult to maintain civic buffs at that location. However players leveling their diplo are in luck! there are are multitude of civic diplomacy centres all around Telon that they can go to and not disturb any attempt to put up or maintain civic buffs. Martok, Cael Brail, Tawar Galain, Halgarad, Hathor Zhi and Aghram just to name a few.
Tips for Diploers New & Old
All the desired civic buffs in Khal are convince parleys. If you are new to a guild/raid force and want to help, go to Khal and push convince parley's… on any NPC you like! This is an easy way to do help out without working against anyone.
Similarly all the desired buffs in Tanvu are entertain parleys.
Afrit is a great place to level up your diplo from 35 to 40 that and help maintain much desired diplo buffs. At the very least you can go to the academics and push Shield of Law and Supernatural Laws. They are all standing together for your convenience!
Community Discussion
Annai - Between Tawar Galan and Cail'brael you can get all the crafter diplo buffs, making Tawar Galan an OK place to get them all.
Kiri - Hathor Zhi and Tawar Galan would be ideal for craft buffs if the devs will add Domestic and Crafter parleys respectively.
