Hangin' Around Kaldor

I was in Kaldor recently,  taking part in the weekly fort siege.  I never knew what the schedule was, but it seems that I happened to be logged in at the right time.  It was last Sunday,  Oct. 2nd,  early afternoon, around 2 pm  PST,  which means that it's around 4 pm CST,  5 pm EST, and 3 pm MST. Those are the approximate times of the Wealhthow's Keep fortress siege.   You might want to arrive earlier just to be sure that you don't miss it.

My group helped to guard the Elyos gate from the Balaur that periodically spawn there.  I wasn't in the actually fort itself fighting the Deity.  Since I'm new to that fort's siege,  I still have to learn the routine.  The lag was tremendous at times,  so I really didn't mind not being inside the fort.  We won the fort, which brings me to the part that I wanted to tell you about....

After the siege is over,  you receive mail as you always do when you win a siege.  Usually it has kinah or medals as a reward for helping out.  This time it had something different for me:  a Title Card!  I finally figured out how the title "Kaldor Champion" is earned.  It's a multi stat title,  here's it's stats:

Attack Speed +1%
Casting Speed +1%
Speed +5%
Maximum HP +200


Some more good news:
After you equip your new title,  you can return to the fort and NPC Terenoa has 3 weekly Glory Points quests that you can now take.   These quests ask you to kill 20 mobs per quest and can be done solo,  but they can get done a lot faster with a group.  Here's a pic:

You earn 125 GP per quest,  a little xp,  and a Ceramium medal.  Most folks are interested in the GP because it's so difficult to get.

That's my report for what goes on in Aion on a Sunday afternoon.  Thanks for reading :)

Wealhtheow's Keep Weekly Quest

Here's a quest I took when I decided to take a look inside Wealhtheow's Keep,  the fortress in Kaldor. I'd never been inside that fort before - last time I was in that area,  the fort was owned by the Balaur. I happened to be in Kaldor turning in a quest that I completed ages ago and forgot about.  I looked at the map and saw that the Elyos owned the fort,  so I had to check it out for myself.  Here's what it looks like:

It turns out that there's a weekly quest called "Jobs Beget Jobs" given out by the fortress NPC Gantis  that gives an ancient crown bundle and ancient coins.  I thought "why not?" and took the quest while I was there. The quest asks you to go to an area (also in Kaldor) called the Path of Reverance.  There you have to kill 15 mobs to complete the quest.   It wasn't very far to walk, but like a lot of places in Aion,  the transport could use improvement.   Kaldor in general needs better transport options imo.

Here's me at the mob location for the quest:

At the Path of Reverance to get the quest mobs.  The Thornstick Crynacs in the distance are the ones.

  On my way back to the fort I took a wrong turn and ended up here,  at the Flamecrest Chariot Depot:

I got lost on my way back to Wealtheow's Keep and ended up here

This place is a chariot depot:  I've never seen it active and I'd really like to.  I guess it springs to life when there's a fort siege.  It has spaces for where chariots would park.  It was empty when I was here and the one time I've seen this place before.

I then found my way back to the fort,  where I turned in the weekly quest:

Getting my reward

And that's it.  It's a pretty easy quest to do if you happen to be in Kaldor and your faction happens to own the one and only fort in the region, lol.  Thanks for reading :)
