    I'm just wondering if there are any plans to implement iron mission-style grinders like on Calypso that would reward significant skill gains (not just attributes) for long-term grinding. I'd love to move permanently to Arkadia as soon as I'm finished killing 16,600 atrox on Calypso :)

    The Oro challenge is the first of many that will be available via the IFN Challenge Terminal. Should be more within a few weeks.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Can you give a hint at how many kills will be required to get the final reward, or is it one of those "try it and see" situations?

    I think it's awesome that the rewards do not include attributes! On Planet Calypso I stay away from many missions because they give attributes I am low on so getting one point in these attributes would be a waste. On Arkadia I will be able to do any challenge I like without wasting attributes!:dribble:

    Edit: And should the final stage of a challange include an attribute I can turn it in later.

    Nice to see the amount to kill soooo much lower than Caly's. 16,000 is a bit much IMO.

    Calypso also has the stages 100, 500, 1000 and 5000. That's not so different from 75, 400, 1200 and 4800. :p

    It will harm my stats later. Just think how much harder it is to get from 70 to 71 Int compared to from 10 to 11 Int. If there is a mission available that gives Int I should do it later to get the most out of it. That thought keeps me from doing some attribute giving missions.

    Hello David,
    There is a bug on the Oro challenge... I have killed 4808 Oro and the quest will not end up... Required Oro on my level is 4800...

    To be clear, on the quest window, it's wrote : 4808/4800

    What I'm supposed to do now?

    Maybe. And maybe when I am at 70 int I will look back at the missions and say "damn, I wish I could do it now and get an easy point". But you see, the thing is, I'm not at 70. I'm happily on my way of going through having 50s for my attributes (except agility). And certainly getting more naturally than from missions.

    Also, maybe when I have 70 I will also have enough evade do go and get some points from the mobs I can't handle right now.

    To each his own! :) I was specifically speaking how I personally feel about it. I know others who don't feel like this. :)

    There was no on screen message that mission is finished.

    Except the only time you're likely to get any skill bonuses are at 16,6k total kills and up.
    On arkadia you get skills even for your first 75.
