Weekly Event: Eternal Belief

Day: Tuesday
Time: 20:00 - 22:30
Level: 10+
Required/recommended items:
Location: various locations

Eternal Belief (EB) is the Tuesday weekly event. It can be done at a variety of levels and can be completed solo, although a party is highly recommended (depending on the end area you choose, it may create a lot of scorn if you solo).

There are three stages to this event. Breaking the seal, killing the enchanted mobs that appear once the seal is broken, and killing the boss that comes once you have killed your mobs. Since the boss is one per server and certain guilds monopolize this boss, for our purposes, the quest is just two stages.

Stage 1: Breaking the Seal

Visit Vassily in FH. He will give you a quest to help break the seal that has been put over the land. Vassily's buddy will also look like he has a quest for you, however, you will not actually be able to pick up this quest until the seal is broken.

To break this seal you must kill mobs near your level or higher. As you kill these mobs, an item will appear in your bag called an oracle. Read these as you get them - it can help to put them in your quick-bar so that you can see when they show up without having your bag open constantly (I do the same for the souls in HR - works marvelously!).

Good things to do while breaking the seal include GT, GT2, LCS, your level fissure, Dragon Orders, Phoenix Order, Bounties --- pretty much anything that you will be killing a large amount of mobs of the level appropriate to you. And although you can skip the oracle part of this event and just help others open it, or just wait until it has been open and move on to stage 2, those oracles give you lots of exp and the more people opening the oracles means the more people that can get through stage 2.

Stage 2: Killing the Enchanted Mobs

This is where it gets a bit tricky, so be sure to read thoroughly and follow the directions.

There will be an announcement in wc when the seal breaks. This announcement is hard to catch, so one way to to see when it is time is to periodically check back in with Vassily's friend Sheaton or the area npc Milanna to see if his quest is available yet. Once Milanna pops up, enough oracles have been read and the quest is available. If you are at Sheaton, just keep checking to see if he has a quest for you. He will offer you a choice of where you would like to help out - as these mobs are all over Forsaken World. You want the one that will bring you to Milanna if possible.

Choose [69] Jadegloss Lake if you would like a massive amount of wineglasses as your reward.
Update 07/16/2013: I did some experimenting and it seems that any of the Enchanted Vines quests will work for the wineglasses.

The basic steps here are:

• Take the quest from Vassily's friend Sheaton.
• Auto-route to the location
• Do not take the quest from the npc you find there
• Check to see how many parties are waiting ahead of you 
• Multiply this by 30mins and add this to the time left on the active party
• This total will be the amount of time you will have to wait before taking the quest
• If you will still have time to start your quest before the quest closes, stay put and wait your turn
• If you will not have enough time, realm hop to find a less crowded realm 
• Until it is your turn, do not take the quests or kill anything -- just wait
• Once it is your turn, you may take the quest from the npc 
• You must take the quest before the event entry ends (22:30)
• Once you take the quest, you will have 30 minutes to kill as many enchanted vines as you can
• For every enchanted vine your party kills, you get a wineglass! 
• Be sure to turn in the quest before the timer is up
• Do not turn in this quest right away - once it is turned in, you are done for the week
• You can not get this quest again if it times out, is abandoned, or turned in too soon
• And you only get your reward if you turn in before it times out - similar to the Balloon Bonanza.

If you choose the location with the vines, you really should be in a party. This is the most popular spot, for obvious reasons, and you might get a scolding by others and most likely, your place in line will be not be honored. However, you can show up solo and see if you can jump into a party that is already there.

Also, holders are honored by most players, so have one of your party hold a spot while the remaining party completes the oracle portion. Once one member maxes on oracles, have them switch with the holder so that they can get oracles as well.

Note: anyone lv 69+ can pick up the second part of the quest from Milanna directly, so no need to run back to Freedom Harbor to talk to Sheaton.  If your char is under lv 69, you will need to go back to FH to take whichever enchanted vine quest that Sheaton may be offering you. (I had a lv 62 bard that got a [62]Jadegloss Lake enchanted vine quest and it gave wineglasses too.)

Stage 3: Boss

As I said before, this boss is going to most likely be long dead by the time you are finished with stage 2. You can use the teleport device in your bag to get to the location, but you will most likely never find the boss.

But - WINEGLASSES
