SCORCHED SKY CELEBRATION

If it is the sky that is scorched, what is with these snails that are torched? - Bonzz

The Scorched Sky Celebration is an annual event that was first added to the game in July 2022 and last about 2 weeks. They normally recur every year, around June / July (somewhat corresponding with Summer).

It is lauded as a celebration of 'the cleansing power of flame.'

When it was launched, it also added new Scorched Sky quests to Overseer; added twelve (12) new Overseer Agents with new trait & job combinations unique to the new agents; and also added a new Scorched Sky Agent Pack in the Marketplace.

SOMETIMES YOU NEED MORE

1) LAVASTORM MOUNTAINS: You are looking for Carlene Snizzlefriz (Level 48) (/waypoint 1175, -1465).

NOTE: You can get the 'Make them Brighter' task at the same time (see below).

!!!BIG NOTE!!!: At Level 20, this is tricky, as it doesn't take much damage to kill the MoB's involved. I took off all my gear (get naked!), put a no damage weapon in my hand, threw up a Damage Shield buff and then let them attack me (they auto aggro)!

Hail Carlene Snizzlefriz and follow along, or just /say Some more, to get this task.

You will get an Incombustible Creature Netting, that has ten (1) charges of 'Capture a Fire Creature' on it.

NOTE: The other NPC's around Carlene Snizzlefriz seem to be primarily there as a visual representation / ambiance for the oddly-named MOB's involved in this task, except Char the Brunt (Level 32)... who is part of this task (see below).

.

2) LAVASTORM MOUNTAINS: You are to locate several different MOB's, fight them to below 25% (and no lower than 3%), then click the Incombustible Creature Netting on them to 'capture' them. All this means is they become docile and will now follow you. Once you have one captured, run to Char the Brunt (/waypoint 1480, -1170) and position yourself so that the captured MOB runs in close proximity to Char the Brunt. When it gets there, you will get the update.

WARNING: Do NOT invis when going back to Char the Brunt. If you do the MOB you just captured will not follow you.

You will need to do this with the following MOB's (one at a time, in sequence):

• a murtle lurp grup;
• a sticky stacky stabby;
• a flappy fast flare;
• a lava bathing beast;
• a steaming stone swirler.

NOTE: All of these MoB's will automatically aggro when you get close to them (they don't see invisible, however), task or no task.

.

3) LAVASTORM MOUNTAINS: Once you have captured and taken all five (5) MOB's back to Char the Brunt, give the Incombustible Creature Netting to Char the Brunt to finish up.

REWARD: Coin and Experience.

MAKE THEM BRIGHTER

1) LAVASTORM MOUNTAINS: You are looking for Carlene Snizzlefriz (/waypoint 1175, -1465).

Hail Carlene Snizzlefriz and follow along, or just /say Special pow, to get this task.

NOTE: You can get the 'Sometimes You Need More' task at the same time (see above).

.

2) LAVASTORM MOUNTAINS: Now you need to kill three (3) each of the following MOB's (all of these MOB's are in the Level 25 to Level 35 range):​​​

• a murtle lurp grup;
• a sticky stacky stabby;
• a flappy fast flare;
• a lava bathing beast;
• a steaming stone swirler.

NOTE: The 'food' is virtual. There are no actual food items involved.

.

3) LAVASTORM MOUNTAINS: Once done, head back and hail Carlene Snizzlefriz, to finish up.

REWARD: Coin and Experience.

BRIGHTER THAN THE MOON

1) LAVASTORM MOUNTAINS: After the first two (2) tasks are completed (see above), head back to Carlene Snizzlefriz (/waypoint 1175, -1465). 

Hail Carlene Snizzlefriz and follow along, or just /say Mix and Settler to get Carlene's Mix and Settler, and then /say Abnormal creatures, to get this task.

.

2) LAVASTORM MOUNTAINS: You now need to kill MOB's as before and break open (attack) some rock piles as follows:

• Find and kill any ten (10) of the same MOB's as before... and loot twelve (12) Crude Fire Goblin Water Pod from those same MOB's;
• Find and open (melee attack) six (6) a smoldering rock pile, and loot six (6) Crude Magmatic Saltpeter.

.

3) ANYWHERE: Inside Carlene's Mix and Settler combine one (1) Crude Magmatic Saltpeter and (2) Crude Fire Goblin Water Pod to make one (1) Refined Magmatic Saltpeter.

Do this until you have six (6) Refined Magmatic Saltpeter.

.

4) LAVASTORM MOUNTAINS: Head back to Carlene Snizzlefriz (/waypoint 1175, -1465).

Give the six (6) Refined Magmatic Saltpeter and Carlene's Mix and Settler to Carlene Snizzlefriz, to finish up!

REWARD: Scorched Sky Firework.

Once you complete all three (3) Tasks for the first time, you should also complete Achievement: Somebody Say Fireworks.

GUARDIANS OF THE SNAILS (GROUP MISSION)

1) LAVASTORM MOUNTAINS: You are looking for Keeper Lyne (Level 120), who is near The Broodlands zone line, in the cave (/waypoint 3655, 80).

Hail her and follow along, or just /say Help them, to get this mission.

Things to know (at Level 120):

• You can get the mission solo, but you will need a decent group;
• There are a lot of roaming trash MoB's in the zone, that can and will aggro when they get near... they can be mezzed, snared and / or rooted;
• Trash MoB's do respawn;
• All trash / add MoB's in this zone are at least Level 110 to as high as Level 121;
• MoB's can hit as hard as 60K (Max AA, raid geared Paladin), to include the trash MoB's;
• a smoke dervish MoB's can see through invisible;
• MoB's will assist other MoB's;
• Mission steps will automatically activate as you approach each location;
• The aviaks will not-snare or root, but they do stun and mez;
• The aviaks can aggro on you (no matter how far away you may be), even if you zone out and come back;
• Beware of using any form of AoE's, as a lava snail is not aggro, ules you aggro them... and if you do aggro even one (1) a lava snail, you likely aggro all of them!

To zone in, /say ready to Keeper Lyne.

.

2) THE BROODLANDS: GUARDIANS OF THE SNAILS: You are looking for Keeper Crecs (Level 120).

Keeper Crecs is surrounded by ten (10) a lava snail (~ Level 115). He is not far in from where you zone in (/waypoint -1250, -1175).

As you get near to Keeper Crecs two (2) of a lesser aviak shrike, a feral aviak shrike, a fierce aviak shrike and / or a greater aviak shrike, will spawn, run in and attack a lava snail (a lava snail does fight back).

You will also have trash MoB's that can wander up to be concerned with.

The two (2) aviaks must be killed to update this step.

NOTE: The Mission 'Challenges' start with this step (Achievement: Scorched Sky: Guardians of the Snails Mission Challenges). There are three different 'Challenges' and due to their nature, it will take at least three (3) different missions to do them. The Challenges are:

• Save all forty (40) a lava snail (none of them can be killed) (kill trash MoB's in the area, before you trigger each step (don't get near location update area));
• Save at least half, or twenty-plus (20+), a lava snail (no more than twenty (20) of them can die) (move in and kill the two attackers at each spot ASAP, or kill trash MoB's in the area, before you move in and trigger each step (don't get near location update area));
• NOTE: if you save all forty (40) a lava snail, you also get credit for saving at least half of them, as well;
• Do not save any a lava snail -- let all forty (40) of them be killed (or perhaps even assist killing in them), and then kill the aviaks to update each step.

.

3) THE BROODLANDS: GUARDIANS OF THE SNAILS: You are looking for Keeper Febs (Level 120), who should have spawned once you defeated the aviaks from the previous step (see above). He is to the northwest, near the stone pillars (/waypoint -770, -670).

This time there will be two (2) waves two (2) a lesser aviak shrike, a feral aviak shrike, a fierce aviak shrike and / or a greater aviak shrike, that spawn and run in and attack a lava snail (a lava snail does fight back). The additional waves will not spawn until the previous wave is dead.

Trash MoB's can also wander up.

The four (4) aviaks must be killed to update this step.

.

4) THE BROODLANDS: GUARDIANS OF THE SNAILS: You are looking for Keeper Jiaf (Level 120), who should have spawned once you defeated the aviaks from the previous step (see above). He is a little further to the north (/waypoint -585, -735).

This time there will be three (3) waves two (2) a lesser aviak shrike, a feral aviak shrike, a fierce aviak shrike and / or a greater aviak shrike, that spawn and run in and attack a lava snail (a lava snail does fight back). The additional waves will not spawn until the previous wave is dead.

Trash MoB's can also wander up.

The six (6) aviaks must be killed to update this step.

.

5) THE BROODLANDS: GUARDIANS OF THE SNAILS: You are looking for Keeper Wiog (Level 120), who should have spawned once you defeated the aviaks from the previous step (see above). He is to the northeast near some pillars (/waypoint 310, -1045).

This time there will be four (4) waves two (2) a lesser aviak shrike, a feral aviak shrike and / or a greater aviak shrike, that spawn and run in and attack a lava snail (a lava snail does fight back). The additional waves will not spawn until the previous wave is dead.

Trash MoB's can also wander up.

The eight (8) aviaks must be killed to update this step.

STRATEGY NOTE: On the final aviak wave, it would be a very good idea to mez the last aviak and kill any trash adds, before killing that last aviak, as the boss (see next step) will spawn and attack as soon as it dies.

.

6) THE BROODLANDS: GUARDIANS OF THE SNAILS: You now need to kill Garthyne the Great Shrike (Level 124), who spawns a short distance way (area of /waypoint 390, -1195).

Try to intercept Garthyne the Great Shrike, before he gets close to any a lava snail, particularly if you are working on the achievement challenge to save all of the a lava snail.

Garthyne the Great Shrike will summon / spawn at least two (2) a shrike harrier adds (I have seen as many as four), during the battle, which will despawn shortly after he dies.

.

7) THE BROODLANDS: GUARDIANS OF THE SNAILS: Open the (chest) to finish up! It contains a loot item for the group to roll on!

REWARD: Coin and Experience.

Upon completing the Mission the first time, you should also get Achievement: Scorched Sky: Guardians of the Snails (which awards the Scorched Magmatic Snail Familiar).

If you complete all three (3) Mission challenges (which will means doing the mission at least two (2) times), you will get Achievement: Scorched Sky: Guardians of the Snails Mission Challenges.
