So for Walk of Echoes, is there an item "evaluation" cap higher than the XP/CP evaluation cap? When I was spamming 13 for a belt the past two Surge campaigns, I came up completely empty. Did it at least 50 times, maybe closer to 100, and only got a Hasty +1.

I was on THF and capped my XP easily, but wasn't doing a ton of damage (accuracy a bit low). However, Koga SAM buddy of mine got several belts over the same time period and was doing vastly more damage.

Or am I just unlucky? That wouldn't be the first - I have notoriously bad luck with this game. 0/87 or something on Leaping Lizzy...

WoE is just random as ***, like everything else. I'm 0/infinity on EVERY +1 item in WoE.

No embellishment, never gotten a single +1 from WoE on either account.

I've done a fair amount of surged WoE and only ever got Scopuli Nails +1, and a bunch of dice/residue. It's just crappy and random, as stated.

Quests I've done:
The ones marked with * are RUN specific quests and I'm sure you don't need them, since I haven't done the GEO ones and that didn't stop me. If having done all those doesn't work, I'd guess either try to bring your fame up a little. I did at one point wonder if Mission progression had a part in it, but that never seemed to make a difference, as I completed missions early out of hope that it'd do the trick.
Oh my goodness thank you for this list, what happened was in the quest "One Good Turn", I had got to the stage where you claim the reward but hadn't claimed it, in that state the quest was no longer in my current quests or in my completed quests.

I think I got held up by that stupid cooking quest where the guy wants a Mussel. Had no luck fishing one or getting one from the Mog Garden, and it took forever for one to be listed.

WoE rewards are totally random. I've dual boxed my brother's BRD in there and he barely gets enough for a minimum requirement but still could get the good items. If you're getting a maximum exp yield (which doesn't require a whole lot), you're aces.

Nevermind, it's already on BGwiki. http://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Unity

Better question, were the sheets updated to reflect the new values yet?

Dumb question, searched but didn't find the answer...

How does a WoE walk become "surged" under normal conditions? (This means there is no surge campaign happening)

Random or triggered somehow? Zol need some Adapa's Slacks +1 lol

Surge has a chance of happening after a normal walk of echo is cleared.

SE ran an event (and probably will again) or increases surge chance for example or walks surging themselves

Last event it was surge 100% every time *and* reset time was 1 minute.

So basically if there isn't a lot of activity on a certain flux, chances are that you probably won't encounter a surge...about right?

They can go to surge randomly over time, so if people are neglecting a certain walk, then you'll probably just find it already surged. Jumping in and spamming that walk will speed up the chances of it surging, however.

The reset time is still 1 min. Those are permanent changes. I had to do a bit of WoE yesterday to get my alt's rudra's. And I made almost every walk I did surge. After about an hour or so I noticed that the first one that I surged was unsurged. I'm not certain how exactly it works but it does tell me surging them probably doesn't take much effort and it seems they do "unsurge" after a bit of time has passed. I guess someone could have ninja'ed in and killed it but there were only 2 others in the zone so I figure that's unlikely.

The unlocked Empyrean WSes simply don't show up until 99. They aren't contingent on skill - I had Wildfire with like 114 Marksmanship.

Merited WS are like that though, level 96 + 357 skill, offhand.

Is there level correct on High-Tier battlefields?
When you sheet it out, do you use Tojil, Serac, or Alima as the target (D-VD)?

I assume no, and Tojil?

Now that you mention that I do recall hearing of something like that but with a different NM.

Besides it could be hearsay.

Lag dont work like that.

When a player lag, the game will freeze the char, after all, its impossible to the game to guess what direction the player send as input if there is a lag.

Could have been R0ing for a few seconds, if he ran out of range/sight, it would have just made him disappeared.
