focus rite missions: 2? 3? more?

[keoni]

Merriest of meets, all & sundry :) Here's the gist: focus good. Me likey focus. Me want more focus...

So... I know of two rite missions that add 50 focus each. One for jewelry crafting, another for deliveries. Someone in the game claimed that there was a third... but he was disinclined to share the details (to me, that falls under the category of "annoying boasting" - but your mileage may vary :)) My question, then, is this:

Are there other missions that yield a focus boost, that you are willing to tell me about? ;)
If you don't mind my sharing the wealth of knowledge, I'll post a how-to somewhere, if one doesn't already exist. If you would prefer I keep it quiet, I can do that too :cool:

Currently (in-game live), 2 of the 8 available rites give the increased focus reward.
There may be more being tested on the ATS.

So, there may have been a 3d mission, that is currently disabled? Good to know thanks much & bright blessings...

No, there was never a 3rd

[mrozzy]

No, there was never a 3rd

There is a 3th :D. Actually its 3 of 9! rites that give boosts :D (no I'm not telling where the last one is :p)

But that third rite doesn't give a focus boost!
And keoni's question was only about rites that give a focus boost.

There is a 'hidden' rite that gives 50 focus... I will reveal as much as you get it in Matis lands as the 2 others...

The 3rd is not actually a rite unless they changed it. It does not give an encyclopedia entry and there are not pre missions leading up to the ritual task. Just one special mission.

So in game there are 2 rites for 50 focus and this special mission for 50 focus. There is also a zorai rite for 50 sap. They are the only stats boost rewards that are currently active (that I know of).

On go on, do tell, its not like there's so much content we can do without! Maybe you could help cheer up the community? If ya feel bad about slapping your hard earnt cool info on forums then please do an ingame event to help us dumb so-and-so's enjoy Atys to the max.

Thanks

Just guessing here, but are you referring to the broken resin rite? I haven't tried to complete it myself (I prefer to wait until it's fixed) so I wouldn't know if it gives you anything.

[savvy]

Yep it is the resin rite.

Half the fun of the rites is finding them. You already have one extremely valuable piece. Also only certain types of NPC's give the rites: Intendents, Sages, Guard Chiefs and Barmen. All of the active rites are found through one of these types of NPC's. With access to all of the cities around Atys it only took me a few hours to locate all the rites.

If you try and can not find this rite send me a tell and I will give you another hint in game :)

NPC in question is (0x0000000000:ff:00:00). Reward is very nice <btfoc09.name>.

Hope this helps :)

ROTF! You should have posted ***SPOLIER WARNING*** at the top of your message!

With many thanks to my source, the 3d focus mission does exist, and it does work for purpose of giving you the focus bonus, if not an encyclopedia entry. I don't know if there are any restrictions which might make it inactive for some homins - at a minimum, I think you need net positive Matis fame. The basic details are below, in as invisible ink as I can make it on this background (highlight text to make it more readable):

Go to the Avalae intendant, in one of the trees there. Collect the four types of resin she asks for. Since they are fine amber, you don't need to collect them from Matis lands if you're better digging elsewhere, or simply know where to find the stuff in other lands. Return to the intendant, hand her the stacks one at a time, in the order listed. Collect a permanent 50 focus boost, and do a happy dance. ;)
