All the cool people are doing it. Awe-inspiring massacres are becoming commonplace in zones just outside your door. But you are left in the dark. What is this Garrison? Garrison (noun): the troops who maintain and guard a fortified place. The basic Garrison event involves some number of players (up to a full alliance of 18) defending an outpost from an attacking force. The attacking force comes in 4 distinct waves, each of which involves high tier mobs with a variety of jobs. Each wave will usually include melee mobs (ex. Orcish Fighters and Serjeants), casters (ex. Orcish Cursemakers), and archers (ex. Orcish Chasseurs). The fourth and final wave will also include some form of boss that uses a 2-hour ability. What occurs during a Garrison raid? Explaining each Garrison would prove difficult, so I will use the West Ronfaure Garrison as an example. When you trade a Red Cryptex to the outpost guard in West Ronfaure, he will explain that the color of the rock and the number of nails in it is actually a coded message ordering an attack on the outpost. He will then ask that you help defend the outpost against the onslaught. At this point, all members of your group will be automatically capped at a specific level and a group of NPCs to be protected will spawn. This is followed shortly by a wave of Orcs. This continues for three more waves of orcs until all, including an Orc MNK boss who uses Hundred Fists, are defeated. When you speak to the R.K. again, if all mobs are defeated and at least one NPC remains standing, a number of items will drop into the collective treasure pool. These items are usually some mix of Exp Scrolls (Page from the Dragon Chronicles) and Garrison Armor (Garrison Sallet, Tunica, Gloves, Hose, and Boots). A good group can get 5 items per successful Garrison, but the number of items dropped directly relates to the number of NPCs that survive. A great group that saves 16 of 18 NPCs can get six items per successful round (two scrolls and four pieces of armor). The armor, itself, is among the best for level 20 players as each has defense similar to other armor of that level, but also includes specific stat boosts. It is important to remember that even the most successful Garrison will only result in winning six items for an alliance of 18 players. Smaller alliances get a smaller number of items. What are the rewards of Garrison? As stated in the section above, a successful Garrison run will result in each player being given a certain amount of gil and a number of items dropping to the collective treasure pool. The amount of gil one receives varies with the number of NPCs that remain alive and the level of Garrison you are participating in. Level 20 Garrisons pay 2000 gil per player if every NPC remains alive. As well, certain items will also be won: Weapons & Armor Mannequin Legs & Feet Pages from the Dragon Chronices The type of weapons and armor that can be won from Garrison depends on the level cap of the Garrison being run. The gear that drops as reward is roughly the same level as the Garrison. Items that begin with "Garrison", such as "Garrison Tunica", drop at 20-cap Garrisons; 30-cap Garrisons drop items that begin with "Military".
