[WAR] Tome Tactics Guide

[Ghostbear]

Found an interesting Tome Tactics Guide (http://moneyne.ws/2008/09/28/warhammer-online-tome-tactics-guide/)
Check it out, I am going to use it.

My last post about Warhammer Tome Tactic unlocks may have been a little confusing for some people. So I have decided to put together a sorted list of all 27 unlockable Tome Tactics in one post so that people don’t have to go searching around for what they need. I hope this guide helps all you Warhammer Online players out there.

Awesome, I was just starting to crawl around on wardb looking for these. Thanks Ghostbear :D

[rifter]

I need to go through and unlock these. They should make life easier, down the road... 50% less range to activate near you on some?! GREAT!

i was killed by a Dark Elf (or Night elf whatever they are called) in RvR last night and got some xp for 'victim' under thier bestiary listing.

completing the achievements is helps ease the pain of grinding.

I don't know...seems to me by the time you hunted most of these down, you'd be almost out of PvE content anyway. Or is there going to be a raid-style PvE endgame at some point?

I just always assumed that the large scale siege war was the only end game (which is fine by me).

There are still a few PvE dungeons/encounters in the end-game (I think).

Too bad the Tome Tactics Trainer has been taken out until they fix a bug... I earned my skaven killing tactic the day after they took the bastards out, and I wants it.

They really have distilled the essence of gaming crack in Warhammer, by adding achievements and achievements that actually contribute to your character in stats as well as looks.

Yeah, the way WAR did achievements is really much better than WoW's upcoming system, at least for me. Titles are just meh to me in both games as even as I get them I tend not use them or use the lamest or easiest one, but WAR's trophy system is awesome.

Pfft you wouldn't say that if you had the "King of the Road" title. :cool:

[digitalErich]

I've been rockin the "Run Away" title on my order characters. It's fairly appropriate for my SW as I play on an open RvR server.

[digitalErich]

Apparently there's a title you get for playing an entire scenario naked, but I'm not sure what it is.

ive done that, but i didnt get...oh wait...probably has to be in-game huh?

[UWCrash]

This isn't a complete list of the required unlocks, correct? I'm at work right now so I can't verify this, but I think I have a Manly Tactic Unlock that isn't there. Kill Slayers on the beach in Barak Varr, they're part of a Greenskin Chp. 5 PQ, until you have 20 scalps (they'll appear in your main inventory without looting for some reason). Then talk to the Kill Collector at Rottoof's Camp to the east and you get the Tome unlock. I believe the unlock is under the Dwarf, Slayer heading.

Oddly enough, that kill collector doesn't reward you xp for Slayer kills, but he makes a comment about wanting scalps in /s.

[Deadend]

Wow... it will take awhile to do those.

Just a hunch, but it probably involves a naked dwarf.

Its not complete by any means.

The nekkid ones aren't for just doing a scenario.

You get them for taking and giving damage, using abilities, targeting enemy players, NPCs, and yourself while unarmored.

How are you Rank 27 when you spend so much time naked?! :confused:

I did all the nekkid stuff on the first day of CE headstart with a bunch of others from Fallen Guard. Took until rank 6 or 7. Also, I'm Rank 28 now :p

Ok, this might be a a bit of a thread jack, but at close to hitting 17 on my WH, I found I've outpaced the PvE quests as the quests I do have now and the chapter I'm on are pitting me against mobs 3-4 levels above me. It's doable, but extremely slow and inefficient. I love the PvP aspect but outside of scenarios (which still aren't grabbing me) and the occasional late night keep raid there's not much RvR going on on my server as people are trying to make it to endgame, which is what I'm trying to do as well.

Now, I don't love the PvE aspect of the game, but so far it seems to be the more efficient way to level up from what I can tell. Did you guys find yourself going to the other pairings and running the PvE for the same tier over there as well?

Not really. I think I did it once. I do alot of scenarios though, and I've found that RVR is a faster way to level then PVE, other then maybe, grinding PQs. Just grab the quests for the scenarios, and you'll be levelling in no time.

[digitalErich]

Hmm, ok...I just wish I didn't have to fly to the other pairings to get the other 2 scenario quests. Now that you can queue for all 3 from any pairing, it would be nice to be able to get the quests from all 3 in one spot, too.

Also, does anyone know what's at the end of each races' Epic quest? It's all been one chain for me with no end in sight...I assume it does all the way until you near the cap.

My Epic quest ended in Chaos ch 12, I think.

[digitalErich]

So, what's that....late 20s about?

[Ten19]

There's a much more comprehensive tome tactics unlock guide here (I think it's written by the same people or connected to the previously linked one)

Nice find!

[danielOut]

very nice!

[digitalErich]

Gah, I completely forgot that being on an Open RvR server, I'll be a chicken for the entire zone for ones 2 tiers below me. There goes my plans of going back and getting all of these when I'm max level. I'll have to hunt these down as I level, it seems.

[Ghostbear]

I printed that beast of a guide out. 45 pages later the trees are weeping.

[digitalErich]

I would just bookmark it...the guide is still being added to from what I can tell.

[Ten19]

Indeed, it seems to be getting updated every day. One thing I would like to know, though, are the cloak unlocks. Any resources anyone's familiar with?

[digitalErich]

There are cloak unlocks sprinkled in that guide, I think.

The more I think about it, the more I don't like the idea that I won't be able to get some of these on an Open RvR server if I level out of a tier before I find them (not all unlocks have been found, yet and I'm not going to leave my main at 19 while I wait). It almost seems like a hard (as in built into the game design) punishment for choosing a given server type.

Hopefully they'll patch in some way to get these. Maybe change the chicken mechanic so that you only turn into a chicken if you target, or are targeted, by an enemy player.

Ah ha! So there are. You can tell I've only been looking at the areas that I've been leveling in ;)
