I cannot remember their names... but the heroine who led it was an invincible Ice Tanker that could herd entire zones... I picked up the slack, organizing Shard Task Forces every October weekend - Saturdays/Sundays - because back then you had to PLAN for those damn things. Especially Dr. Q. That one AT BEST could take you 8 hours to finish. When the game sped up the time you would get the phone contact, that made life a little easier. The creation of the Ouroborous portal shortcuts back to Paragon City helped a lot to speed up the long travel times. Today, there are Team Teleports available as purchase items that can help entire teams jump from door to door, as long as everyone on team had it... So the Shardtober Event goes through each of the four Task Forces - Dr. Quaterfield, Sara Moore, Justin Augustine, Faathim the Kind - and it usually helps to plan ahead so if you want to run them, make sure: 1) You are minimum Level 40 for the first two TFs, then Level 44 minimum for the last two TFs 2) Purchase or have a temp Jet Pack - or else have the Flight powerset for travel needs 3) Purchase the Team Teleport temp power 4) Unlock the Ouroborous shortcut 5) Trick or Treaters for Firebase Zulu because when ToT opens the doors on the military bases count If you have questions, please ask! 2 Been busy working as a librarian Been busy writing stories and getting published!

Ironblade Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I think you might want to start your event a little late and run into November. Dr Q is the Weekly Strike Target during the week of October 7th, followed by each of the others and ending with Faathim's TF week of November 4th. Weekly Strike Target seems to be the one time that it's actually easy to find Dr Q TF. Originally on Infinity. I have Ironblade on every shard. - My only AE arc: The Origin of Mark IV (ID 48002) Link to the story of Toggle Man, since I keep having to track down my original post.

Ulysses Dare Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Witty, did you have a particular day and time in mind for this? I want to make sure my schedule is open, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wittylibrarian Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 I'm usually best for running Shardtobers on the weekends - Saturday / Sunday - but the thing is EVERYONE should run a Shardtober on their own schedules. It's an open server, there's hundreds of us to team with across the servers. It's just I'll be on Excelsior with my 40 or 50 alts.

wittylibrarian Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 The key thing is to follow the Weekly Task Force schedule: Week Beginning Oct 14, 2019: • Explorer's and Exploiters (Dr. Quaterfield, Level 40-44) Week Beginning Oct 21, 2019: • The Legend of Ruladak (Sara Moore, Level 40-50) Week Beginning Oct 28, 2019: • The Saga of Faathim (Justin Augustine, Level 44-50) Week Beginning Nov 04, 2019: • The Saga of Lanaru (Faathim the Kind, Level 44-50) Remember these key things: 1) Have a flight or teleport travel power, you can buy jetpacks in the Firebase Zulu or Atlas Park/Pocket D vendor. 2) Have Ouroborous Portal power to help with jumps back to Paragon City 3) Have a Team Teleport powerset purchased from that Atlas Park/Pocket D vendor so that you can teleport whole teams across maps (make sure teammates have it too) 4) Be Levels 40-50 5) You no longer have to have a full team of 8 players but it helps given the mob sizes and need for diverse Archetypes on your rosters Been busy working as a librarian Been busy writing stories and getting published!

wittylibrarian Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 Dear City Heroes: We should be onto Sara Moore in the Cascades, easily found inside the SECRET REBEL BASE. ...you need to find the base first. Run Dr. Boyd missions from Firebase Zulu to unlock. Otherwise head to the Cascade zone and beg for teamage. Week Beginning Oct 21, 2019: • The Legend of Ruladak (Sara Moore, Level 40-50) Remember to bring plenty of Team Teleport and Flight powers! Not as much running back and forth between zones but it's there. Also, THIS HAS THE DARKEST FINAL MAP OF ALL TIME. OOOOOOOOOEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO so be safe, run in groups. 🙂 1 Been busy working as a librarian Been busy writing stories and getting published!
