Whoops. Mind deleting mine? You can copy the stuff if you want.

Mission

Grey Requirement: 15 invasions
90 energy - 1 Spy Uplink Chassis
120 Experience - Bane Psybeacon
15 rounds for completion
Their tactics are evolving.

What makes you think the Hallows Bane are using a device?
Most of the ships that were affected reported approaching and engaging an oddly shaped sphere of Bane origin. We're sure that they are the culprit.

What do we know about them so far?
Not much. Its broadcasting signal is very complex. Try to find and capture as many as you can - we need to develop a countermeasure.

Can the signals be detected and tracked?
Only at close range. The Hallows Bane appear to be careful when placing them.

I imagine that our ship will also be susceptible to their influence?
That is a risk, yes... but we cannot wait... and I don't see any other alternative.

Drops appear to be the same so far. Got a Hallows Bane Trick.

Think the relevant info from last year should be accessible around here too, so here's the thread from last year's event.

terror charged emitter same as last year...16 space. 90 attack, doubles for invasion

Horrorcharged bane emitter drops possibly from the dread... Legionmate didn't say. Will edit if I can find out more.

Are these ranked based?

Daily Mission requires 15 planets captured as a pre-requisite otherwise the mission is locked.

Thanks to Dasfish of IoT for pointing that out.

Was in my post. Even if someone had 0 invades, they can manage to sneak 8 Psybeacons after 15 invades ( granted that don't fail a single day)

Guess I hopped past that part lol.

what rank to see Bane Dread? I only get Phantom on my BT.

So my Dark Arbalest currently displays as giving 204 attack and actually does give that value,, even though hovering indicates its supposed to give 90 atk and 80 cloak...Im also definitely getting more than 80 cloak when I equip one. Glitch?

Yes, these are rank based. From the wiki...http://galaxylegion.com/wiki/index.php/ ... ed_Weapons

If you receive one of the above weapons after you kill a Bane Revenant or Bane Eidolon, the version you receive is based on your rank at the time of receiving it. Ships of Rank 1-49 receive the standard version, ships of Rank 50-149 receive the charged version, and ships of Rank 150 and above randomly receive either the Overcharged or Hypercharged version. The MegaCharged Bane Emitter is only dropped by Bane Reavers (ranks 500+) and the TerrorCharged Bane Emitter is only dropped by Bane Phantoms (ranks 1,000+). Once received, these weapons may be installed/used at any time, but they can only be received during the Hallows Bane events. If you haven't got one, just wait until Halloween this year for another chance!

This does not include the 2014 Bane Weapon Drop though. So I'm not sure what rank you have to be to get that.

On a side note, next year he should release a Bane Banshee NPC.

Figured as much. I know a +2k guy in our legion only sees dreads. Sub 1400 I only saw phantoms. Have yet to see anything at 1400+. I think another guy in our legion (sub 1900) was only seeing phantoms as well. They may be +2000 rank.

I'll be 1400 here shortly so I'll let you know if I find any to narrow the gap.

What is requirement for "Fire and Brimstone" medal as I do not have it showing up for me.

I am ranked 1948 and only see phantoms, so that narrows it down a bit.. I was a bit disheartened about it too, as I now find npcing this year useless.

Anyone know what the second drop (if there even is one) is from the Illuciar?

Drops from Illuciar, Bane Phantasm
