Evil Asayo

The comedy in the show came from the family’s “odd” lifestyle, rather than from infighting and petty bickering, or worse, as was common on other shows of the time, thinly veiled references to spousal abuse. They didn’t make fun of each other or act like their children were creatures from another world. Were they strange and outside of social norms? Yes. Were they united in creating a loving home and being good, supportive parents? Absolutely.

These two support and adore their children, care for an aging mother and an estranged brother, put family before everything, and they love each other, wholly, fiercely, without reserve. They are every bit as much in love after at least a decade of marriage as they were the day they met.

It’s nobody’s surprise that many of the aesthetic and thematic elements of The Addams Family in its various incarnations are influenced by Gothic tradition (not goth, that mostly came later. And not Goth, that was much much much too early), and I think Gomez’s words are a dead bullseye in terms of Gothic mentality.

“Make her feel like she’s the most sublime creature on earth”

The sublime is a recurring theme throughout Gothic literature. Although the word (like “awesome”) has lost a lot of it’s original luster over the intervening decades, sublime doesn’t really mean elevated and lofty (or even heavenly) as it’s often used today, but rather something possessing the power and grandeur to induce awe and veneration in the mind of the beholder. Although less than divine, something sublime possessed a wildness and power that transcended human ability to control…or even to comprehend.

Sublime is standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon leaning as far as you dare over the railing and still not being able to see the canyon floor below. Sublime is warrior-queen Galadriel being tempted by the One Ring. Sublime is waking up in the middle of the night in the heart of a wild thunderstorm.

“Make her feel like she’s the most sublime creature on earth”

Gomez isn’t advising Fester to treat a woman he fancies like a princess, or even elevate her to pedestal of angelic nature (who’s idea was it to equate femininity with purity anyway? What a laughable and historically damaging idea. Shame on whatever dead (probably) white dudes promoted that!)

Gomez is advising Fester that if he truly loves a woman he must do everything he can to remind her of how she’s an untameable force of nature who’s grandeur brings him to his knees in awe and terror. Just like Morticia, for Gomez.

I’ll sign off with one of my most favorite quotes of all time, because it feels suddenly very relevant:

“When I find myself surrounded by so much beauty, I feel as if I am the eye of a hurricane.”

Winds of Fate II - Marchutan’s Protector Quest (Weapon/Title)

This portion of the quest may prove to be one of the hardest as it depends on your access to some of the major end-game instances.

Section #1

You have to gather 150 special Aether found floating only around the new faction base in the Upper Abyss. You will need to have at least 200p or higher in Aethertapping to gather from the nodes.

You will then be required to morph them (recipe sold by the NPC), and they consume 2,000 DP/morph.

Section #2

You will need to gather 10 Sealed Text and 10 Cursed Text, and these are found exclusively in the final boss rooms of Sealed Danaur Mysticarium and Cursed Argent Manor respectively.

Sealed Danaur Mysticarium has unlimited cooldowns but entry is dependent on the entry fragments whereas Cursed Argent Manor resets daily, but also requiring an entry fragment for entry.

Section #3

You have to obtain 3 Medal of Honour, and these are purchasable from the Conquest Reward NPC in Inggison. If you thought it sounded too easy, you’re not wrong; they cost 40 Honourable Conqueror’s Mark to purchase and these can only be farmed by killing Conquest Offering mobs in the opposing faction’s zone (Gelkmaros).

You can begin to start farming these before the patch hits to avoid the rush. You’ll need a total of 120 Honourable Conqueror’s Mark.

Section #4

A straightforward mob hunting quest:

- 60 mobs from Lawbringer’s Cut, Levinshor - 60 mobs from Wealhtheow’s Keep Ruins, Kaldor - 30 mobs from Lake Asteria

Asteria is also the new location for the asmos’s Upper Abyss faction base, so great care needs to be taken while hunting mobs in the area.

Section #5

You will have to slay the ONE of the bosses in following PVP instanced zones:

- General Varga, Kamar Battlefield - Captain Avran, Engulfed Ophidan Bridge - Destroyer Kunax, Idgel Dome - Grand Commander Pashid, Iron Wall Warfront

Just winning the instance alone will not proc the quest, your group/alliance HAS TO score a successful kill on the bosses.

Section #6

Similar to the previous, you will have to slay bosses but in PVE instances this time:

- Grand Commander Pashid, Eternal Bastion - Hyperion, Infinity Shard - Tiamat, Anguished Dragon Lord’s Refuge*

*This instance is very specific, killing Tiamat in Dragon Lord’s Refuge WILL NOT proc the quest

You will have to kill them 5 times each.

As I mentioned earlier, some players will find it hard to complete the last two sections of the quest as it requires a dedicated static group/alliance. In fact, some of them are so exclusive, you probably can’t even pull a pug for it (eg. IWW).

Winds of Fate II - Kaisinel’s Protector Quest (Chest)

The chest portion of the quest is relatively straightforward, except you may have to devote your time towards some instance runs.

You’re tasked to collect the following items:

- 30 Aither Essence - 80 Burning Breath

Relic of Life

These are gathered from nodes that spawn in the boss rooms of specific instances. They consume 1 Altare Glass Bottle per extraction, and require at least 400p or higher in Essencetapping.

The nodes spawn in the following instances, and they have a maximum gather count. This means once you hit the max possible gather count, you can no longer find nodes spawning in said instance:

- Linkgate Foundry (1) - Sauro Supply Base (6) - Ophidan Bridge (6) - Danaur Sanctuary (6) - Danaur Reliquary* (6) - Illuminary Obelisk* (6) - Tiamat Stronghold (6)

*Applies to both normal and Infernal modes

Burning Breath

A very simple mob hunting quest, these are dropped by mobs in Smoldering Crag, Kaldor. Upon completion, you’ll receive the chest piece of your choice and head on to the weapon portion.

Winds of Fate II - Kaisinel’s Protector Quest (Pants)

This portion is a mixture of crafting and mob hunting. The crafting insanity has been toned down considerably, as compared to it’s predecessors.

Section #1 - Crafting

You will need at least 400p or higher to craft the 1 Lucky Bundle, and you’re given a choice of deciding on your desired craft.

The crafting NPC will give you a quest item, in which you would have to craft alongside another quest item (red powder) purchased from the multiple craft NPCs. Turning in the quest will give you a Lucky Bundle, which will provide you a random amount and assortment of the materials needed to craft the quest pattern.

It can generally be annoying if you’re unlucky (and having to walk back and forth to the NPC), it may also consume a substantial amount of kinah for players who are not loaded.

One great aspect regarding this crafting quest is that even if you failed to proc the quest item, the failures can be used to craft the proc’ed item with 100% success.

You will need 7 of the failed procs to craft the required proc, so that will be the maximum amount of tries one needs to get over this part even if you’re that unlucky.

Section #2 - Mob Hunting

A relatively simple quest, kill 60 mobs in the Upper Abyss inner area. It may prove a slight challenge because both elyos and asmos share the exact same hunting ground.

Winds of Fate II - Kaisinel’s Protector Quest (Shoulders)

The guides for the elyos are not in order because I am working with different resources based on availability. I’ll make a compilation page in the end, so bear with me. Also, the elyos and asmodian quests aren’t too far apart from location differences.

The majority portion of this quest takes place in Oriel.

You will need to collect the following:

- 150 Dews - 40 Mark of Devotion - 50 Sun Leaf - 50 Lunar Leaf

(I translated the names based on the mandarin version, they’re subjected to change when it comes to NA)

Dews

For the Dews, they are gathered from these nodes scattered throughout Oriel. Every extraction will consume 1 Altare Glass Bottle, and you need at least 400p in Essencetapping to gather from the nodes.

To my knowledge, unlike their predecessors, the Dews from this quest do not require lucky procs or have any weird by-product, it’s largely dependent on your Essencetapping level (obviously, the higher the better), and whether if you can find a node to gather from (might be a problem if there are lots of players running around doing this).

Mark of Devotion

This is simple but time consuming process, you’re given a quest item and you double-click it to obtain 1 Mark of Devotion. The statue has a reuse cooldown of 1 hour though, so it will take you a total of 40 hours to complete this.

Sun/Lunar Leaf

These are dropped by the Agrints that spawn in the outskirts of Oriel Plaza, and as their namesake describes:

- Sun Leaves are dropped by Agrints that only spawn during the day - Lunar Leaves are dropped by Agrints that only spawn during the night

All timings will be based upon the in-game clock and NOT the real-life time. Day is dictated between 08:00~19:59 whereas Night is dictated between 20:00~07:59.

(locations of the Dew nodes and Agrints are listed together in the attached map, they should be easy to spot though)

First Wizarding War | c. 1970 - 31 October 1981 [x]

Playing on eu and u dont have kinah for pack and stuff well there is an easy way to get some just do these quests in nosra they give 1.8m kinah each and there are 10 so it gives you 18m every 2 days i think and the quests are repeated so just go do em and hf getting packs :P

Right, this is for the people who requested for it. It’s the best I could find for now:

- 5231 Magic Boost - 3028 Magic Accuracy - 415 Crit Spell - 20,193 HP

And here’s the breakdown of their equipment:

Armour

- Mythic Rank 1 Chain Set; +20 and fully socketed with MB +29/MA +8 Composites - +7 Special Elite Ambassador’s Divine Chain Helm

Accessories

- +7 Special Elite Ambassador’s Divine Turquoise Series - +10 Enhanced Magic Boost/Magic Accuracy Plume**

**Magic Boost +277, Magic Accuracy +121, HP +3250

Wings

- +20 Enhanced Special Elite Ambassador’s Divine Wings

Weapon

- Enhanced Ancient Coin Staff; +20, fused with Infinity Staff (mythic BM staff) - Primary sockets consist of Knowledge +7/8 manastones - Secondary sockets consist of MA +22 ancient manastones and MA +16/MB +14 composites

Stats are achieved with food and Sacrificial Power, they also have an investment of 30 Knowledge under expanded stats. Take note that this is not the complete investment yet as they are only level 71.

On an unrelated note, this cleric is named “치유”, when translated, it literally means “Heal”.

As I’m sure some of you know already, Fire Temple has creeped its way back into our grind. For those of you who are not aware of its benefits towards end-game, let me explain:

Fire Temple has a possible 8 bosses (7 mini-bosses):

Silver Blade Roton Blue Crystal Molgat Lava Gatneri Tough Sipus Flame Branch Flavi Black Smoke Asparn Broken Wing Kutisen

Kromede the Corrupt/Vile Judge Kromede

Each mini-boss will not spawn every run, but it is important to kill as many as possible when they do spawn. Why? The armor/weapons they drop can be DE’d of course! Each item will yield a minimum of 20 Enchantment Stone Dusts. Most mini-bosses will drop 3 armor pieces, and occasionally a weapon box.

Also, each boss will drop between 1-4 Fiery Hearts. Once you obtain 20 of them, they can be turned in for 704 dusts!
