Shroud of the Apocrea is an event-exclusive prestige mission available during Shroud of the Apocrea.

Overview

Description:

Several capable knights have gone missing in a seemingly normal area of the Clockwork Tunnels. Spiral HQ suspects foul play and has assigned you to investigate the level.


Objective:

Investigate the area of the Clockworks where several knights have gone missing.

Notes

This mission was introduced with release 2013-10-23.

Token-Apocrean Sigil.png Apocrean Sigils obtained from activities in The Grasping Plateau can be exchanged with Lost Soul Merchant.

This mission's maximum depth is 30, making it the deepest area to date.

Strategy

If you disagree, discuss your concerns on the the talk page before editing.

The general goal of this mission is to collect Apocrean Sigils. This is accomplished by breaking tombstones, randomly releasing purple souls, and breaking the chains off the souls. Breaking their chains by attacking them rewards sigils. Players can also earn sigils by solving puzzles. All this is done in The Grasping Plateau, with the other combat floors offering standard clockworks loot.

This event is enjoyed by the playerbase for a variety of reasons - it's something different and presents a decent challenge for many players. Not only does it provide tokens required to make Obsidian items at the Mysterious Alchemy Machine (or Obelisk of Creation), it also brings arenas that are deep enough to have a decent chance of dropping Radiant Fire Crystals from their treasure boxes. As such, there are several "goals" that players may have, so it's important to establish what everyone wants to do before starting this mission.

Successfully completing Shroud of the Apocrea solo can be difficult due to the nature of the plateau and its inhabitants.

Your party will lock after using the elevator in the Mission Lobby, so plan ahead and make sure everyone knows what to do. The Grasping Plateau does not have an arsenal station, so whatever gear you had the previous floor is the gear you will take to the plateau.

Goal:

Usually plans fall into one or a combination of the below:

Arena Farm
Sigil Farm

Recommended Equipment:

- moved to better name, doubt this is linked to externally.

Remember, the plateau does not have an arsenal station. Gear up in the previous floor if the party plans to farm here.

See the Apocrean Harvester page for details about its behavior and how to deal with it.
