How many Campaign ops of one tier do you have to do to unlock the following tier?
I was remembering 5 tier 1 to unlock tier 2 but maybe there's some other requirements, like you need to wait JP midnight or something?
It's roughly 15 completions per tier to unlock the next one. I unlocked most of the Sandy ops over the last week.
Northlands specific ops (Vanguard-X IV, Steel Resolve IV, Aegis Scream V, etc) open up automatically when your nation owns the zones required for them.

Is this page accurate and up to date?
I was remembering something of the sorts for the first time you do it, but I also was remembering the process being much faster (akin to the regular 6 avatars where you receive the doll) for successive runs. I also didn't remember the limitation of one fight per day.
Is everything correct?

The Stygian Pact page is correct.
Unwavering Resolve is a bit off. You do not need to defeat Odin Prime 12 times in order to proceed to Stygian Pact. You just need to clear the Unwavering Resolve quest once.
The 12 times thing gives you a different title, which matters only if you want the extra title.
If you're just looking to proceed to Stygian Pact just need to have cleared the Unwavering Resolve quest.
I'd done it a couple years ago for mythic completion.
Follow the walkthrough in all the quests, ignore the notes under Unwavering Resolve.
I don't know if Odin Prime can only be done once a day, only did it the once.

It's roughly 15 completions per tier to unlock the next one. I unlocked most of the Sandy ops over the last week. Both Ops I tried (Stock and Awe and the other one where you have to find suspicious objects in town) took me 20 completition each to unlock the next tier.
Maybe just a coincidence I guess.
Still, I wonder where the *** did I stick "5 to unlock next tier" in my memory lmao, it's nowhere near 5, it's 15+

I did mine over the course of a few days so it’s possible some other completionists helped out along the way. Either that or Campaign conditions/star rating can impact it somehow.
When I switch to do the next nation I’ll see if I can pin it down more accurately.(Not looking forward to doing more Vanguard-X)

Mastery Rank Thread was saying "16" but I think it's those stupid national Campaign statistics.

Couldn't open a regular chest in odyssey A in a tree camp for some reason. Chest was target able and a spammed my living key macro but nothing happened.
Double checked, I still had plenty of keys left. Used the exact same macro as I did with other chests that run and even on the same floor.
Also ran way out of sight of the chest to give it a chance to reload but still didn't work. Didn't leave any chat message in chat either.
Has that happened to anyone of you before?

If Kei uses Dancing Fullers with a DRG, his wyvern and one other person in range, and the DRG uses Super Jump (Super Climb) while the move is charging, how much damage does the third person get hit for? 2500 or 7500? I assume 2500.

Fullers is fixed 2500 (may be able to be resisted, idk I just run away), is it not?
Are you sure you're not thinking of Unfaltering Bravado that is 10k conal split.

Fullers is 2500 per target in range. A GEO bubble will get you killed.
Not sure if super jump/super climb remove them from his count, I'm fairly certain I've never had a DRG fighting Kei in my entire life. If I had to guess, I'd say it probably does 2500, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.
By Dodik 2026-08-14 02:45:15
Per character/luopan/pet in range. If there's a luopan in range as well as the tank, it's 5k.
Run away works fine, just be ready for it at max range. Once animation starts, run to 15'.

I'm not asking how you avoid it, obviously I know how to do that. I'm asking where the calculation occurs, when the move starts or when it hits?
By Dodik 2026-08-14 05:45:43
IME it is <characters + pets it lands on> * 2.5k.
If it only lands on one character/pet, it's 2.5k.
I don't remember ever trying super jump though, and your timing will have to be pretty peak to get it right - the preparation time for it is long.

Kei will still use it even if no targets are in range, since you can outrun it right? For example, if only the DRG or whoever with super jump is in range, and you jump in the air, it'll go off while you're mid jump or will he stop using it and will reattempt it when I land? I'm expecting him to still use it. Could test out later but was thinking about soloing a Kei as non MNK or SAM and wanted to try a different job for a change, but didn't want to risk losing my wyvern (I'd have to disengage and run).
By Dodik 2026-08-14 07:54:43
The move will still go off if no one is in range.
However, the move only starts preparing if at least one character/pet is in range.
Meaning if you're kiting >10' before he even starts it, he needs to get in <10' or the move will never start preparing. I think it's 10'.

I'd assume its based on targets hit, not targets in range when move starts, so if your superjump timing works, it would be 2500

I think you'd have to test for the damage thing. I'd also lean toward 2500, but without any actual test it's pretty hard to conclusively say the target list isn't generated, used to calculate damage, then on attempt to actually deal damage the targets are omitted due to being invalid. It'd depend whether super jump is processed during target selection or damage application, and I can't think of any parallel where that was tested. The DRG is still in range position-wise when it goes off.

Can you carry someone to a runic key? My friends (finally) dipping into Nyzul, dragged them to 96, cleared boss but they didnt get the runic key KI. Their Disc is only recorded to floor 26.

I have random problems lately. NPCs are running around like... dummies. They spaz out as they run. Normally that usually is when my fps is uncapped, but config says its at 60. Any ideas? Fastcs also off

Does anyone know if treasure hunter applies if you one shot the mob (such as via a nuke with th gear on)?
The only thing I can compare is when doing voidwatch, if I killshot the mob with a WS and apply TH during that killshot WS, it'll apply because it shows the 004% light increase after the battle.
I'm assuming 1 shotting something with a nuke should apply it, but I get superstitious and wonder if anyone has info

Interesting testing method, I'll bet there's a voidwatch boss you can 1shot, could give it a try and see if you get the light.

I'm probably forgetting something... when Beastmen control their strongholds, do you have to do something to accelerate campaigns or even make it happen at all?
Been in Beadeaux (S) for over 6 hours and not a single Campaign happened.
It's controlled by beastmen, so it should start when allied forces get sent here, if I recall?
Yet none seem to be sent here.
Am I forgetting something about how this works? Been too many years!
edit:
Actually... maybe I seem to recall campaigns in stronghold happen ONLY if your nation controls ALL of the other zones in the region.
Is this correct? If it is then I found the reason why lol

This is indeed the case. A battle won't occur unless the other zones are owned by the nation.
Are units spawning to defend Beadeaux? If so, you should be able to gain influence despite the lack of battles.

It should. I have killed something with one swing on THF, and saw the TH proc message in the log under my damage. That allies to THF main though. Unsure of sub

Can the cities in the past be taken over by Beastmen if they continually lose Campaign battles at home?
Windy's being attacked this week and I just wondered if they could theoretically lose the zone.

It can, super rare
Windy turned grey a couple times
