Thorny Rhapsody LTQ Jobs and Rewards List

[BigMoney]

This seems to be a better LTQ than usual-- low energy, low XP for Normal, and decent stats considering. This is obviously due to the LTQ being shortened from 5 days to 3 days, but I don't really want to calculate exactly how much better or worse the shortened time affects this LTQ's stats, as it depends on your energy replenish rate (energy mods, class mods, etc). But at first glance, it certainly looks better than the previous three LTQs. As interesting tidbits, with full prehits, the Normal mode would cost 8,766 energy, and the Elite mode would cost 37,202 energy. That's a total of 45,582 overall with full prehits, meaning if you maximized your free energy usage (assuming +3, no class/energy mods), you would need a maximum of 660 gold to complete the entire LTQ! That is quite cheap.

Special thanks to Reaper as always for his spreadsheet, and to AU Zubby for the Elite-only Jobs/Rewards. Thanks Player A for the rewards for Elite 12-19.

Zubby would like to use the space here to let you know he enjoys long romantic walks on the beach, candlelit dinners, and he's looking for that special someone who will let him blow loads in her hair as she sleeps.

I have the scorpion delivery bomb and when I fight someone I can see it... But I can not locate it in my inventory in the explosives...

Edit: It's apparently a melee item. Would have never guessed.

If anyone can help fill in the rest of the Elite rewards ahead of me, I'd appreciate it. I take it slowly from here.

Hey bigmoney and yet again thx for the posts. Is it possible you post the spread cheat of "running xp and running at/def gain" as you did a couple of ltq back? They were awesome

[Frostpocket]

At what level will this quest show up please? I can't yet see it at level 13. Thank you.

That was The Reaper who posted that. I send him the spreadsheet each time I finish though, so maybe he'll be around tomorrow.

Cheers again BigMoney!

Here is the complete list for both Normal and Elite modes, including the running totals for energy, XP, and A/D. Instead of having two separate charts, why not combine them?

Normal and Elite Prize and Running Total:




Updated: Added missing A/D for Infinite Racer (thanks bald zeemer!)
Updated: Added missing jobs for Elite mode in Graveyard and Chinatown maps (thanks BigMoney!)

[reras]

thx reaper and BM. The running spreadsheet is gold if you want to stop before gaining to much xp (2nd account).
