Time getting Artis?

Hey!
Just wondering how long it might take getting all the artis (not lvling them, only attaining them) for a sorc?

The Artis I have in the back of my head would be:
Nailahs or GoV
Tartaros Gift
Maddening Scalars
Jacinas (really would like another belt since this one seems like a pain to get)
Cloudsong (not sure though since I have the Darkflame Cloak, any reccomendations?)

Hmm what else would one need? I'd really like a temp that is easy to get but still maxes out, or nearly does so, +range and +cast speed and also adds a bit to the dex cap. Any ideas? :/

Oh also to elaborate my first question:
How long (speaking rl days) would you assume it would take getting hold of these artis if you play 6-10 hours a day for a short period. I want to get TOAed before I get a job so will focus hard on that since I think it might get tough when I do start working. Not doing MLs btw!
Thanks in advance :)

I'd get your template sorted before you go hunting so as not to waste time/money/both on artis you don't need.

GoV = a slag, a long time due to crap spawn, potentially, and expensive.
Mad Scalars = need to be lucky to loot it but can buy readily and reasonably cheaply
Tartaros = up a lot of the time, fine with a fop+sorc+some tanks.
Jacina's = pain in that you need lots of people, but at least it'll be up.
Cloudsong = camped a lot, but not a hard encounter.

The thing that makes most of these artis liable to take time is that everyone and his dog wants them - and finding the encounters a) up b) uncamped and c) at a time when you have people to help you can be very hit + miss. Good luck though :/

Ah ok thanks!
Are the camps often camped now as well so long after TOA release?

Anyone have a good sorc temp (relatively easy to get artis is a huge plus ;p)

Best thing to do when you´re unguilded or in a small guild is to farm money, join arti groups for credit and buy the stuff. A Sorc with a BB can easily make 1.5 at Gobos per hour (including Salvage etc) so with a little patience, you´ll get all you need. This will probably take a while, but at least you´ll get it and don´t have to trust your luck, ask people to help you or rely on your /random 100 skills.

As for a Template.. I have a quite ok 2-arti template from vnboards somwehere.I´ll check later and post it here.

Yes. GoV & Cloudsong are pretty much always camped.

Usually by the same few people looking to sell them for silly prices too :puke:

With a decent and small guild the artifacts will take no time. Depends how nice your guildies are; personally we give items and artifacts to each other freely, as I keep a spreadsheet up to date of what people require to complete their templates.

Use Atlantis Tablet instead of Jacinas. You will love the croco form =)


GoV means about 30-35p if u dont farm it (lots of ppl trying it atm)
Nailahs is cheaper n uses to be uncamped nowadays, i would use it if i were gonna use mad scalars (mainly for the dex cap bonus)
Rest are easy

Hmm so actually it could be done in like... A week getting them?

How about lvling them? And what's all the ToA Bashing about if it's so quick? Suppose MLs are a living pain though ;)

It all truely depends on getting the right people at the right time mate, if you are able to get a steady artifact group then yes you might get it done in a week. Otherwise you're fooked and it could take weeks/months. Don't forget you need the scrolls and the exping of the artis. Believe me, a week is VERY optimistic. Some of those arties are permanently camped too making em really hard to get.

Good luck anyway.
