Where to find elite mission passes

• M wrote on 2011-02-05 07:45
  I'm not entirely clear where to find SPECIFIC passes. I know you obtain them from reward chests of missions, and that you only get ones from the same town that you're in. (IE: Tara missions will drop Tara passes) But I am wondering if specific missions drop specific passes, and if elite passes are more likely to drop from their int/adv/hm counterparts vs other missions from the same town. Also a side question, will ALL Tara missions drop Tara passes, or will Rath Castle missions only drop Rath Castle passes and outside missions will only drop outside passes?
  
  I guess it's a three part question.
  
  1. Do specific missions drop specific elite passes?
  
  2. Are elite passes MORE likely to drop in their int/adv/basic counterparts or is it completely random?
  
  3. Do Rath castle elites and regular Tara elite passes drop in all Tara missions? Or only Rath Castle elites in Rath Castle SMs and regular in regular SMs

  I can answer number 3. Rath Castle misisons can appear from any tara mission. I found Ghost of par elite from enemy Behind HM D:.

  I get mainly battle for talt 1 from dorren's request. And by mainly, I mean 7/10 were that.

  Taillteann elite missions tend to come from Taillteann adv-hm missions.
  
  I'm assuming the same applies for tara, as I run about 10-15 taillteann SMs every day and only get taill. elite missions.

  I believe it's completely random for question number 1. I've gotten a SCC Elite from Enemy Behind HM and a Enemy Behind Elite from SCC HM.
  
  And I can vouch for question number 3 as well. Gotten 2 Other Alchemist Elites and a Guardian of Partholon Elite from Enemy Behind HM today.

  xD I think I mentioned I already knew that... hmm, when I asked "Do specific shadow missions drop specific passes" I meant Really specific, like what does SCC drop, what does Enemy Behind drop, etc

  I see. Sort of silly if it's 100% random lol how is one supposed to know where to farm! xD

  Not exactly sure if it is random. It may be from a list of passes (i.e passes from these missions are from here, another list of passes from another SM).
  
  If it really is this hypothesis, maybe we all could put in together what comes from what.
  
  My current passes found:
  
  Enemy Behind:
  SCC
  Mobilizing the Expenditionary Force
  Guardian of Partholon
  Other Alchemists
  
  SCC:
  Enemy Behind
  Sulfur Spider

  Hmm I see. If there is a list, it would be nice to find it. There are a lot of elite passes I'm after :x If you get a chance, keep me update on what you find :>
  
  And feel free to invite me on any runs ;)

  If you want specifics, taillteann defensive battle, dorrens req, and stones drop from the shadow warrior adv(don't know about hard.)

  So they do drop from int, I'm guessing not basic (not that I'd bother to do basic lol). Both posts are good to know :) I know you can get stones and crag cow elites from crag cow adv.

  They do drop from basic. That's why the level req is 1+.
• M wrote on 2011-02-05 08:48
  I just assumed it was so you could bring mules along -joking-. Either way, I have no intention of spamming basic xD

  SCC drops Other Alchemist elite like candy... and a friend keeps getting Sulfur Spider from their method.
  
  Sulfur Spider Elite seems to almost always drop Fomor Attack Elite (or just coincidence maybe?). It's also somewhat likely to get the mission you're looking for in lower levels of the same... this has happened for me in the case of Enemy Behind, SCC and Their Method (or so I've heard, I have no way of running TM lol).
