Dear players!
 
Please note that today, 08.09.2023, at 14:00 CEST, the game servers will be restarted. 
Following the restart the changes will be implemented:
fixed the bug due to which Arena mode “Crubicle 4x4” worked incorrectly. The game will be unavailable for approximately 15 minutes.
 
Also, do not forget that used elixirs and minions will be paused, and the seeker's stamina will be returned if the player is in the dungeon at the time of the restart.
 
We kindly ask you not to plan anything important during this period and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

1.  Why should you play Seeker?
 
Seeker is one of the best damage dealing classes in the game, if not the best. What they might lack in defensive skills, they make up for with their high offensive abilities. Now they are highly underrated simply because of the lack of knowledge many people have with them.
 
In pvp, Seeker can be good with the right build, but they still struggle against most ranged classes. Seeker is not the best choice for pvp.
 
Note: Seekers are very expensive to make. You will need high amped weapons and lifesteal accessories, which can be very expensive.
(Also, all opinions are mine and you may disagree with some of them. This guide is not perfect)
 
2. Skills
2.1 Complete statistics of each skill
 
 
2.2 Skill build for leveling up and which expert skills to buy first.
 
Levels 1-18
 
 Splitting 1/5
 Harad’s shield 5/5
 Inspiration 1/5
 Disappearance 5/5
 Exacerbation 3/5
 
Most of the time when you are leveling up and doing quests, you are either running from place to place or waiting for your health to regen back. Seeker has two perfect skills to make things easier for you. You should level up both Disappearance and Harad’s shield. Disappearance will make questing much easier and shield will give you much more damage and it will protect you quite a lot.
In case you feel like you don’t need the extra running speed from Disappearance, you can use those points in splitting. Remaining points you should use in Exacerbation. (this skill uses a lot of energy, make sure you have good energy regen)
 
Level 18
 
Now that you have access to expert skills, we could talk about which skill to buy first. Before you buy any skills, you should know that most of the seeker expert skills are quite bad compared to the basic skills. But of course, there are some exceptions:
 
 Bloodthirst
This skill should be the first skill you buy. It deals good amount of damage and if you later buy Splitting blow it will also heal you when combined. I personally don’t use the healing effect of this skill too often.
 
 Attraction
This skill is the only way for seeker to catch enemies that are far away from you. It is a must for pvp, but it is useful for pve also. For example, you can pull a single enemy from a group of mobs and thus saving your time and health when not having to deal with the other ones.
 
 Solar Power
One of the best pve expert skills for seeker. Increase critical hit chance and critical hit damage. This skill should only be used when studied to max. When this skill is on, you will take increased damage from every hit. At 4/4, incoming damage is only increased by 10%, which is not too bad. This skill uses a lot of energy. You will need 80+ energy regen if you want to use other skills while using this.
 
 
 Attack Instinct
Useful skill in dungeons with many mobs. Also great in some arena modes like Crucible and Seals if you have lifesteal.
The skill does dmg in 3x3 area around the target you are hitting. It wont hit enemies that are behind you. 

 
 
 My thoughts about the other not so useful expert skills:
 
Now into the actual skill builds..
 
2.3 Pve skill builds.
 
These skill builds are meant for level 30+ players. 
These builds are meant for pure damage dealing. (Leave any skill not mentioned to lvl1)
 
Build 1
Basics skills:
 
 Harad’s shield 5/5
 Inspiration 5/5
 Exacerbation 5/5
 
Expert skills:
 
 Solar Power 4/4
 Attack Instinct 4/4
 
Good build for dungeons. Note that some high level dungeons like Sea Tramps don't have too many mobs so Attack Instinct might not get that much use.
 
Build 2
Basics skills:
 
 Harad’s shield 5/5
 Inspiration 5/5
 Exacerbation 5/5
 
Expert skills:
 
 Solar Power 4/4
 Bloodthirst 4/4
 
Good dmg with auto attacks. Combo with splitting blow to get healing from bloodthirst.
 
 
 
2.4 Pvp skill builds
 
 
Basics skills:
 
 Harad’s shield 5/5
 Inspiration 4/5 or 5/5
 Disappearance 5/5 or 4/5
 Exacerbation 5/5
 
Expert skills:
 
 Exhaustive Blow 4/4
 
 
 
2.5 Hybrid skill build
 
Basics skills:
 Harad’s shield 5/5
 Inspiration 4/5 or 5/5
 Disappearance 5/5 or 4/5
 Exacerbation 5/5
 
Expert skills:
 
 Solar Power 4/4
 
Good build for pve and some pvp. Disappearance is very useful in pve also and when questing in the Underwater Territory of Ayvondil, you wish you had this skill on every character.
 

 
 
 
2.6 Relics
I will only talk about the empowering relics. There aren’t any “best” offensive and defensive relics and you should choose those to fit your play style.
 
 Splitting
For this skill there are few options:
 
 Great Relic of Indomitable Blow (Critical hit damage is increased by 20%)
 This relic is good for pve, but it doesn’t help you in pvp. It is also cheapest relic of these three.
 
 Great Relic of Punishing Ability (Skill damage is increased by 12%)
This relic is good for pve and pvp. This relic can be quite expensive.
 
Magic Relic of Deadly Health (When an enemy, which is equal or higher level than you is killed by this skill, 50% of your health is restored)
This relic is my favorite, but it is quite rare. Note that you should stay at lvl30 or lower if you want the best benefit from this relic.
 
 
 Harad’s Shield
 Great Relic of Continuous Effect (Increase time of a skill effect by 40%)
This relic will increase the duration of your shield as well as increase the duration of the damage buffs.
 
 
 Inspiration
 Great Relic of Energy Efficiency (Reduces energy consumption when using a skill by 40%)
This skill will be on all the time thus there is no need to use Relic of Continuous Effect on it. Seeker needs all the help it can get with energy, so this relic is the best choice. It is also cheap.
 
 
 Disappearance
Great Relic of Continuous Effect (Increase time of a skill effect by 40%)
Speaks for itself.
 
 
 Exacerbation
 Great Relic of Energy Stability (Reduces energy consumption of the skill by 50%)
This is a must. There is no other logical choice for this skill.
 
 
 
3. Gears
3.1 Good stats for seeker
 
Seeker should focus on getting offensive stats as high as possible, without forgetting lifesteal.
 
 Critical hit,
 Attack speed,
 Penetration and
 Accuracy
 
are main offensive stats that you need to focus on.
Ideally you will want your crit to be between 40-50%. (50% is the maximum value for crit) The higher % of crit you have the less difference it will make. 
Your attack speed should be as high as possible.
Same as attack speed, try get your penetration as high as possible.
Accuracy is one of the most important stats for seeker and its often neglected. Missing a hit and not getting lifesteal could mean that you are dead. Accuracy should be above 20%. Ideally, closer to 30% (Accuracy negates enemies Dodge stat. If enemy has 30% dodge and you have 20% accuracy, the enemy has 10% chance to dodge your hit. Accuracy doesn't work against parry or block)
 
 Lifesteal
 
You will need around 25% lifesteal if you want to solo bosses at high level. 
 
 
3.2 Daggers or 2h weapon
 
Short answer: daggers.
Long answer: Seeker is all about dealing damage. While you will reach higher base damage with a 2-handed weapon, daggers will still do more damage overtime. 2-handed weapons are great for killing small hp monsters in one or two hits, but since most high-level monsters have high hp, daggers are a better choice. 
I did some calculations using different weapons and stats. You can see those in part 3.5.
 
3.3 Weapons and armors for leveling.
 
(There is calculator that has all equipment in the game, use that to find gear builds)
 
For the most part, use the weapons and armors that you get from quests. It’s better to save your gold for expert skills and high-level gears.
I just said that daggers are better than 2-handed weapons, but for leveling up it’s different. Killing bunch of low hp monsters is faster with 2-handed weapon.
 
When you reach lvl13 you could buy items with “none” parameter. You can use these items and sell them back when you are done with them. This isn’t by any means necessary; quest items will do just fine.
 
At lvl17 you should buy Desert Wanderers/Star Pilgrim’s armors and lvl17 cape with energy regen. You should also buy lvl17 rings and use energy crystals on those. Lvl17 armors shouldn’t cost too much and they have useful stats for seeker. I would use those armors until lvl26.

See calculator
 
You could buy weapons every few levels. 2-handed weapons are usually very cheap.
I wouldn’t amp any gears past +1 until you have the gears that you’re going to use for a while.
 
3.4 Pve armors
 
These following equipment are for players who have made it to at least lvl26.
               
Accessories
Seekers don’t have too many defensive skills so lifesteal is a must for them. They are quite expensive but there really isn’t other choices. If you can’t afford the lifesteal accessories with the best stats, you should sill try buy some accessories with maybe worse stats since they will still help you a lot.
 
Cape
Any damage lifesteal cape with attack speed.
 
Amulet
Any damage lifesteal cape with attack speed or penetration.
 
Rings
Damage lifesteal rings with accuracy.
 
Armor sets.
Here are few armor builds that I consider to be good. There are many more armor builds and these may not be the best for everything. (Use the calculator to try more builds)
 
 
Helmet, armor and gloves can chance quite a bit between builds, but the boots are almost always the same. Seeker needs boots with energy regen. There are 3 options currently:
 

I highly recommend boots with speed.
 
Belts also have few options. You should either get belt with crit and accuracy from Snowy event or get belt with speed. (lvl29 speed belts are very expensive)

 
 
Runes and crystals to use in each item:
Cape: crit, vamp
Amulet: crit/accu, vamp
Rings: energy regen, vamp
Head piece: accu, def
Chest piece: speed, def
Gloves: speed/pene, def
Boots: speed, def
Belt: energy regen, hp/solidity (solidity increases your chance to avoid critical hits and reduces critical hit damage from monsters)
 
3.5 Weapons for pve
There are many good daggers for pve and here are some information to help you decide between them.
 
First some stats that can be found in some of the weapons.
 
 Piercing (Allows the character to ignore physical and magical defense of the enemy with a specified chance during an auto attack.)
This stat may sound to be exactly like penetration, but it is not. Piercing doesn't work with every hit while pene does. Piercing has % chance to ignore all enemy defense, while pene ignores some defense with every hit.
 
 Attack Strength (Increases damage dealt by your character's auto attack by the specified percentage.)
This is a good stat for every seeker since most of our damage comes from auto attacks.
 
Now which weapon to choose. If you want weapon with Attack Strength, there are two choices.

The damage from these daggers is basically the same on higher levels where mobs have high defense. The other has 3,3% more penetration while other has 2,5% more Attack Strength. Only difference between them is the Attack Speed and crit.
If you can get 70% Attack speed(maximum value), with the double pene daggers, they are better. Otherwise the Attack Strength daggers are better.
(See calculations below)
 
There are few other good daggers aswell.

Both of these daggers have Attack Speed and crit. Piercing is good, but it doesn't work on every hit like pene. Lifesteal daggers can be useful for soloing stuff, but they won't make your damage output higher.
 
 

The craft dagger has the highest base damage of any dagger. The stats are not bad either, but in my opinion the other daggers are better.
 
You should use parry runes in your weapons. Dodge is negated by accuracy and thus doesn't work that often. Damage reflect could be good choice also, but sometimes it messes up your Sun Net and Invisibility. Not a big problem in pve tho.
 
3.6 Pvp armors
Not much to say here, get resilience armors. They will increase your defense in pvp drastically.
You can also use craft belt for extra penetration and a bit more hp. 
For weapon you should buy at least one dagger and use ferocity crystal on it. This will increase your damage in pvp while also being quite cheap, although getting enough arena points for one can be quite tedious.

Ok as it goes for knowledge, even with new characters going not even one town maybe two will cap knowledge, this is a serious disadvantage from the outset as most of us will just keep going instead of stopping.
 
They need to seriously need to consider getting rid of knowledge cap when it comes to quests. It hurts all of us from new up to those of us playing for years. Gold requirements in at least first section up to the triple skill combination needs to be halved or significantly reduced.
 
Newer players should be trying to find what to do with knowledge and older players shouldn't be stifled from growing once you reach a certain point.
 
Elite kills knowledge is another that needs to go up, a cap for that is fine otherwise many would fight over areas for them, but a big increase needs to happen 5-10 times in non event situations would help greatly. 
 
As I don't normally cap out yet when it comes to dungeons I'll let someone else go into that if it needs to be addressed.

Its just non-stop grinding. They get the taste of talents. They are adding almost everytying related to talents. Horror talents, snow, spring, knowledge, new map talents…..
 
For them talent= more money at this point.
 
But i am starting to play less and less. Warspear became a full time job where you have to play everyday. Its repetitive, boring and not rewarding.
 
Knowledge thing is already absurd system. I simply cant get the new mechanics of my hero. It offers wlde range of play styles, however if i dont play everyday i wont be able to open these since there is knowledge cap.
 
And now they are adding even more grind….
 
So what is the hype for. Probably i wont be experiencing anything related to new map….
 
 
 
 

I agree a dual system would be good.
The best way I can see that happening is they add a dueling pist to each town and that like exchange both sides confirm and are sent to a duel area like in arena, it would probably revitalize pvp and if they include it in arena subsection it can make battle pass easier for some.

If they were keep in touch warspear community, they wouldnt even consider new map right now. Everybody wants to steady balance update, nerfs and buffs. We dont want to wait 1 year for somethings to change. 
 
We just want to see improve existing events (horror spring winter) not same events every year.
Or making pvp more fun. Bringing duel system, remove chaos potion and lets have fun with other players.
 
But no they dont even consider this. Imagine 11 years of mmo doesnt have 1vs1 system where i just simply cant invite them to duel.
 
Anyways, i am just mad at the wasted potential of the game. My expectations are very low of this new map. I cant stand another oxygen mechanic.
 

People already do that on every other mmo for essentially the same reason- 
They like the play style of one class and character then focuses on it

Then let's wait for more news. It's a month away, after all 

I honestly don't think your right. I'm pretty sure you can go to either side BUT you won't have access to say Tombs as a Assassin or a Outpost as a Adventurer. 
 
I am certain you can enter them with a party member. 
 
Plus you can seemingly swap between the npc guilds but you might loose rep for it

Something tells me this is one way to encourage further building multiple characters especially for the top and active guilds which means more spendings. Since it's an exclusive sector type of thing, the lack of players in a npguild would be problematic so you know where that's going. Not that it's bad, I just noticed it unless I'm wrong. I do like choices that doesn't lead to the same conclusion regardless of what you chose.

Is that only about enemy side players? Like mcs can kill and get "Information" from elf players only? Or mcs can fight mcs in that place too? 
 
What do u think about to make it fight vs all except ur pt? Like mcs can fight mcs, elfs can fight elfs, mcs vs elfs too, be able to fight all except ur pt. It will also stop ppl from blocking area with whole guild, fights would be way more interesting cus it wont be just about how many ppl u can bring, but how good is ur pt or how ur pt can counter another pt. 

Dear friends!
 
First of all, we would like to thank the Warspear Online community for their interest and attention to the process of developing the new island! This time, we have decided to provide more details about the non-playable guilds of Almahad, which we briefly mentioned before. We recommend you to check out the first part of the diaries to fully understand the topic, and now, welcome to the continuation of the narrative!
 
We would like to remind you that the project is still in development, which means that any elements may be subject to change by the time of release.
 
What are non-playable guilds?
 
After exploring the magnificent palaces and dilapidated slums of Er-Sahil, you will be just one step closer to unraveling the mystery of the Black Sun's rim. A fierce battle among the leading guilds of Almahad has unfolded for the right to possess this most powerful artifact on the island. This means that the only way to acquire the artifact is to infiltrate their ranks and gather information from within. But what are non-playable guilds?
 
Non-playable guilds are special coalitions, interacting with which grants you access to unique gameplay mechanics and content, not available outside of membership in that guild. As we mentioned in the first part of the diaries, you can only be a member of one non-playable guild at a time. Additionally, on Almahad, rivals from different in-game guilds can be part of the same non-playable guild.
 
You will be able to join a non-playable guild after completing the storyline in the city and the introductory quests related to the guild. You will have access to all existing introductory quests for non-playable guilds simultaneously – you can choose where to begin first.
 

 
In the upcoming release, you will have the opportunity to get acquainted with two of the five non-playable guilds – Adventurers Guild and the Assassins Guild. Guild registrars, awaiting new recruits in their headquarters within the territory of Er-Sahil, are always ready to assign you a special initiation mission, and from there, the most exciting part begins!
 
Adventurers and Assassins
 
Getting acquainted with any of the non-playable guilds promises you truly captivating adventures outside the capital! As you already know from previous diaries, a significant part of the Almahad island is covered by a desert - vast, but not lifeless. The desert is divided into gameplay sectors, each with its own storyline and unique inhabitants, and each non-playable guild will have its own sector. Additionally, a substantial portion of activities will take place in the Golden Sands – an extensive common PvP territory.
 
Completing tasks assigned to you by the representatives of the Adventurers Guild will lead you to the Mirage Desert - a magical habitat of genies, snakemen, and a true sanctuary of antiquities! Representatives of this guild are true explorers, as they gain access to the most hidden corners of Almahad!
 
 Adventurers Guild
The Adventurers Guild, founded many centuries ago, sets its goal as the exploration of the mysterious island of Almahad and the search for its long-lost treasures. It is the Adventurers who guard the secrets of the hidden corners of the island, which they are willing to reveal only to the worthy. The guild members are brave, curious, and determined warriors ready to challenge both what is lost in the sands and what remains hidden in plain sight!
 

 
And if you decide to join their rivals - the Assassins, then you will venture into the Scorpion Kingdom - a land of endless warfare, inhabited by half-humans, half-scorpions and Dog-Heads, ready to battle all who dare to challenge, to quench their thirst for combat. Even the Assassins themselves are ruthless and dangerous “headhunters”.
 
 Assassins Guild
The Assassins Guild specializes in contract killings for hefty money. Guild members live in a world of shadows and deceptions, one they have largely constructed themselves. Each of them is a talented hunter, capable of tracking down and striking a target of any level, whether it's a common bandit or a highborn noble. Only those who prove their courage will have the gates of the Assassins Guild open to them; brothers and sisters will welcome them into their ranks to stand against the visible and the invisible together!
 

 
After joining a non-playable guild, you gain access to daily and dynamic quests, dedicated dungeon and guild events, raid boss, and further progression in the storyline will unlock access to side storylines and missions in the gameplay sectors of other guilds. Additionally, you will have access to content unique to your non-playable guild (we will provide detailed information below).
 
While exploring the island, do not forget about the harsh climate of Almahad - from time to time, powerful sandstorms occur on the island, which can confine you to the capital Er-Sahil for an extended period!
 
Reputation with factions “Elders of Guild”
 
As it's well known, every newcomer must first secure the support of the most respected members of the combat brotherhood. On Almahad, you will need to earn the recognition of the guild's elders by building your reputation with a specific guild faction. Familiarizing yourself with the faction will occur upon joining the guild. Reputation can be earned by completing daily and dynamic quests, as well as through various other activities, of which there will be no shortage. Please note that if you leave a non-playable guild, your current reputation with that guild's faction will be reset to zero!
 
The accumulated reputation points can be spent on learning talents from the non-playable guilds, with each guild having a unique talent tree.
 
Talents of non-playable guilds
 
Striving to gain the upper hand in the fight for the artifact, representatives of the most powerful guilds of Almahad have created a special arsenal of skills and abilities within talent trees. And to make your journey through Almahad particularly memorable, each talent tree will be divided into segments of equal length, with special progress markers called “ranks”. A rank becomes active when you start learning all talents within the horizontal row it's connected to, and it remains active permanently. It's this active rank that allows you to retain the progress of learning talents at the same level and above the rank when leaving the non-playable guild. Upon rejoining the non-playable guild, the progress of learning talents will be restored to the level of the last active rank.
 
Unique mechanics of non-playable guilds
 
As we have mentioned before, each non-playable guild will have its own daily and dynamic quests, as well as other activities, bonuses, and enhancements, including the talent tree. Advancing through its study, you'll uncover a special talent that opens access to a unique guild mechanic. This mechanic becomes active and available to you as soon as you learn the relevant talent. Additionally, within the branches of the tree, you'll find talents that influence the functioning of this guild mechanic.
 
To engage with this mechanic, you need to head to the PvP territory of the Golden Sands – that's where the real scorching heat awaits! Nevertheless, you can always rally the support of your allies from your game guild, who can also receive rewards for successfully completing the unique mechanic of your non-playable guild, even if they're not part of it.
 
Mechanic of Adventurers - Tombs
 
For the fearless and tireless adventurers, explorers of Almahad, access will be granted to ancient tombs holding rich rewards! Just keep in mind that in your quest to find the entrance to the underground treasuries, you'll need to race across the desert, and the route to the tomb's entrance will be unique for each adventurer!
 

 
After the tomb entrance is discovered, the adventurer can invite their group to complete a mini-dungeon but remember, that the entrance action will be time-limited. The discovered dungeon is tied to the adventurer who found it: if they leave the group, the dungeon entrance disappears for all group members. However, if there are several adventurers in a group who have found tomb entrances, your group will have access to several tombs with active entrance timers. Moreover, visiting the tombs will not consume the seeker's stamina. The entry procedure for tombs, however, will remain identical to entering regular dungeons.
 

 
Each tomb discovered by an adventurer will be unique, as the layout of the location, monsters, and dungeon boss will be generated randomly. Your task is to clear the corridors of the tomb from monsters within the given time, filling the progress bar at the top of the screen, defeating the dungeon boss, and remembering to collect rewards from chests! By the way, rewards in the tombs will be refreshed daily, and in a day, you can receive up to 5 rewards.
 
Mechanic of Assassins - Outposts
 
Assassins are true masters of stealth, capable of not only tracking their target but also swiftly eliminating it without unnecessary noise. The unique guild mechanics of assassins will allow you to apply these deadly skills in practice and infiltrate bandit camps in the Golden Sands territory!
 
The ultimate goal of each assassin will be the bandit leaders - bosses with PvP-status. However, first, it's necessary to gather information about their location. Ordinary bandits - PvP-monsters, as well as other assassins who have already collected the information, hold the "Information" about the bosses. By defeating another player, an assassin will obtain a part of the "Information" they've gathered. In the case of group playing, this information will go to the assassin who deals the final blow. During a group battle with a monster, information will be given to each assassin in the group and located at the location at the time of the monster's death.
 
Only the assassin can gather and accumulate information, but any group member can help him to deal with monsters and other assassins. Once the required amount of 'Information' is collected (the progress bar, unique to each assassin, will help track the result), the assassin will gain access to the dungeon entrance - the tent of the bandit leader. After that, the assassin can initiate the dungeon run and invite their group. However, keep in mind that the entrance action will be time limited.
 

 
The group composition is locked in at the moment of dungeon activation, so the group can proceed through the dungeon even if the initiating assassin leaves the group. The entry sequence for outposts differs from the rules of entering a regular dungeon. First and foremost, group members may not be present at the moment the dungeon is launched on the location - the assassin can enter the dungeon directly to avoid enemy attacks, and group members can join later. Additionally, the assassin who opens the dungeon doesn't have to be the group leader, and group members can freely enter and exit the bandit outpost. Moreover, visiting the outposts will not consume the seeker's stamina.
 
Inside the bandit outpost don't waste any time, as you'll need to eliminate the bandit leader (and sometimes there will be even several) within the allocated time! For this each player inside the dungeon will receive a guaranteed reward and gain access to a chest with random rewards. Rewards in the outposts will refresh daily, and in a day, you can receive up to 5 rewards.
 
Competition among non-playable guilds on Almahad is just beginning to escalate... Perhaps you will be able to shift the balance and earn the greatest respect from the elders of non-playable guilds? We'll find out soon...
 
The release of the new island is scheduled for the end of September 2023.
 
See you in the vastness of Arinar!

As another example while doing quests on 1st map with a character knowledge for quests capped out roughly 1 and 1/2 towns/ camps worth of quests if not less, so newer players already have a disadvantage in that regard as well as I was on and off a lot in one day for this. 

Oh right i completely forgot , you can drop those from the chest

You get some doublons with a 100% rate , usually u get from 200-500 of them.
 
And then you have a chance to drop either :
1) Blue sea weapons with fury enchant ( that is for more sea damage )
2) Belts lvl 29 or 31 of all type
3) If you really lucky you can drop 2 books : 
     a) Might of sea depths ( i think ) = that gives 5% more dmg underwater and 10% more move speed

Before going to the contents, lets break some myths and get answers for some FAQs
 
Q. Why do you need this guide?
A. Many people don’t know the secrets, ambushes and treasures hidden in the latest update of Ayvondil chapter. This guide is one stop place for players who want to uncover the Pirates and underwater mysteries of Ayvondil T5.
 
Q. Is Ayvondil T5 profitable?
A. Yes absolutely, One can earn a lot through bars, spheres, craft items just by farming elite monsters which are available in abundance underwater. The mini bosses in the T5 ayvondil map can be farmed for better loot.
 
Q. Do you need to buy a lot of oxygen tanks to quest underwater?
A. You may need to buy a few oxygen tanks in the starting phase of getting used to the new town but later on you wont need to buy as the quests give you enough oxygen vials as reward which never finish. A great way to limit oxygen consumption underwater is using some special potions(available from ship graveyard chests) and scrolls(available from quests).
 
 
I myself never exhausted the oxygen vials which i get from just mermen quests. 
 
 
Q. Is there a difference between underwater and Ship graveyard?
A. Yes there is difference. Underwater is only applicable to areas submerged in water of T5 sector. While Ship graveyard refers to both underwater and the land areas of T5 sector.
 
Q. What is the difference between Pirate reputation and mermen reputation of T5? How to get them?
A. Pirate Reputation is required to participate in Dungeon "Sea Tramp's Lair" available in the upper half of Ayvondil map. Mermen Reputation is like a currency required to level up talents and also determines player's speed in underwater. Pirate reputation can be achieved through yellow quests, blue quests of T5 and from Guild Event Assault of the Ship. Mermen Reputation can be achieved through blue quests from NPC on Trade Island( exact middle area of T5map) , GvG Invasion of Chaos Event , Guild Event Descent into a Grotto and from Sea Tramp's Lair Dungeon.
 
Q. What is the right way to spend mermen reputation for talents?
A. Efficient way to spend talents is to focus getting 15000 mermen reputation first to get 80% speed in underwater and then start spending extra reputation above 15000 on talents so that you can move at decent speed underwater all the time.
 
Q. Do I need to max the present talent to move to next talent?
A. No, You don’t have max the talent if u don’t want to. However to move to next talent and further requires unlocking the previous talent(making it level 1).
 
Q. What are pirate doubloons? What is their use and how to get them?
A. These are special currency that are available at T5 Ayvondil Sector that is used to buy items from an NPC at T5 town. They are used to buy special gears, weapons and some supplies that are required in smooth underwater adventure. Helmet reduces oxygen consumption, Boots increase the movement speed underwater and the weapons deal a lot more damage (due to fury of depth parameter) to the underwater monsters. The pirate doubloons can be obtained through guild events Assault of the Ship, Descent into a Grotto and Treasure chests in Sunken ships.

Q. Do the doubloon weapons deal extra damage on land T5 sector monsters like in underwater?
A. No, the doubloon weapons do not deal extra damage on land monsters. The reason being these weapons deal extra damage strictly to monsters only inside the underwater territory and not on land. For the same reason, they do not deal extra damage on the monsters in the Descent into a Grotto Event where the ads are currently spawning on land areas.

1. North to South:
 
 
2. South to North: 
 

3. Clockwise:
 

4. Anticlockwise
 
 

Sunken Ship Locations :

These are the locations which contain sunken ships with treasure. However, the treasure chests inside the sunken ships require special pirate key to open them. These keys are available from T5 Ayvondil dungeons, some quests of T5, Ship graveyard chests from mcoin shop.

The below map shows all the locations of sunken ship in the Ayvondil T5 territory.
 

 
Guild Events :
 
1. Assault Event: This Event is doable if you have atleast 20 players who have average of +8 gears and weapons. 25-30 people are recommended with average of +9 gears with T5 talents. This Event requires clearing the every ad in the area to proceed to the next level and defeat the last boss on stage 4 within the time limit.

 
2. Grotto Event: This Event requires atleast 25 players with a tank to carry the torch and atleast 4-5 mages and 2-3 rangers to participate. The goal of the event is to carry the torch to the end of each stage and burn the vines on last area to enter the next level. The torch carrier has the job to carry the torch all the time while other members must protect the torch carrier from the ads that come to him.

 
Guild vs Guild Events :

1. Invasion of Chaos Event : The main goal of this event is to clear as many monsters as possible before other guilds, to reach a prize place. For each defeated spawn of chaos you will gain points, depending on the strength of the defeated creature. The points are collected by players and added to the guild total. Scouting of players in the GVG area is necessary to find out your enemies and allies
 
2. Mermen Trials Event: The successful completion of this event gives access of 4 hours of Mermen Sanctuary Dungeon at the Doom Island. The guilds which are participating in this event are made into pool. From this pool, each guild is matched with another almost equally skilled guild (if there is any mis-match in the level occurs, the higher-level guild cannot use the skills that are higher than the lower-level guild level thus making it fair fight) and almost equal number of players participating in a guild. This event is similar to arena where group of players are matched with another group of players except that in this event, 1v1 guild vs guild match-up takes place in both stage 1 and stage 2. This event has two stages. Only guilds which win in the stage 1 are eligible to participate in the stage 2 of the event.

Reminder: The active guild skills are reset at stage beginning thus giving full use of guild skills at each stage.

Details of each event are given below:
 
Stage 1 : Symbol of Celebration: The main objective of this stage is to capture the crown/regalia which is placed in one of the three mid-areas of the stage before the rival guild and bring back the crown at the spot provided for placement of crown near the spawn base. The points are majorly counted based on the captures of the crown, placement of crown at spawn base and the player kills of rival guilds. Some important tips/tricks to perform better in this stage are given below:
 
a.      Players should level up as many underwater talents as possible by keeping in mind that they should always try to stay above 15k repu for decent movement speed in underwater. Keeping player repu at max 35k repu gives the full extent of movement speed possible through mermen repu.    
b.     Players should get doubloon gears(movement speed boots), movement speed foods from the T5 NPC who provides items for doubloons and movement speed scrolls from ship graveyard chests from mcoin shop.           
c.      Players can get the rare non-class expert skill book Might of Depth for extra movement speed underwater.
d.     Players should use oxygen vial/tank before stage begins to get extra speed from the talent Swimming Technique.
e.      Caution! This trick is should be used with lot of practice and ingenuity. Before the stage 1 begins, player can try to keep the oxygen level at minimum level i.e at 1 bar out of maximum oxygen bar to make full use of two talents which are High-Speed Ascent and Adaptability.
 
Stage 2: Proclamation of War: Only the winners of stage 1 are eligible to participate in stage 2. This event is similar to the war in Map 2 i.e., Irselnot war with 3 pylons (instead of flags) and a final guild flag near each spawn base. The points in this stage are counted based on the rival guild pylons destroyed, rival player kills and the destruction of final rival guild flag. Initially, each guild can target any of the three pylons only. The access to attack final flag is achieved when all three pylons of rival guild are destroyed The event can end before the given time if the final flag of rival guild is destroyed.  


Ship Graveyard- Underwater Talents Information: 
 
“Underwater Talents” are split into several types, each of which contains specific abilities. These can be obtained by using mermen reputation as currency .You can improve your character’s performance under water, increase your defensive characteristics and resistance to negative effects, as well as gain a temporary advantage on the battlefield in the form of a passive growth of some characteristics. The talents are in game are shown in 3 columns.
I have listed down all the talents column-wise and written the reputation required and Effect at each level in the following tables.
 
The Reputation required at level up at each level is noted in the table.
Example: The Calm Swimming Talent requires 1200 mermen reputation from Level 2 to Level 3. Therefore, the total reputation required to max Calm Swimming from Unlocking to Level 4 requires  400+800+1200+1600= 4000 repu.
 
 
 
 
Note: 

1. The effects listed in the tables are not to be taken directly as some talents require certain conditions to be met to get activated.  Example: Punch attack raises penetration% only when the player is in contact with 5 or more monsters. For detailed working of talents, one can go inside game and check the descriptions of each talent.
 
2. Each talent unlocking or leveling up requires not only the mermen reputation but also gold. One can easily find out the gold required for leveling a talent by multiplying the reputation required by 2. Example : Calm Swimming talent requires 400 repu to get level 1, therefore necessary gold required is 2x400= 800g.

3. Some talents work in underwater areas only and some talents work on both on land and underwater areas. How to know? Check the description of talent inside game. 
a) If the talent description has Ship Graveyard term--it means the talent works in both underwater as well as on land areas of Ayvondil T5. 
b) If the talent description has Underwater territory term--it means the talent works only in the underwater areas of Ayvondil T5. 
 
Dangers to watch out while roaming inside underwater.
 
1. Hydrophobia: This debuff is exclusively seen in the underwater territory. This is debuff applied by some underwater monsters, which blinds the player for a period of time and the player cannot use skills during the debuff.
 
2. Red Shark Aggression to Bleeding: There is a fish called Red Shark which dwells in almost all the areas of underwater and it is highly sensitive to bleeding. It will get aggroed from even far distance if the player is under bleeding debuff(which are usually applied by some other fishes). The Red Shark deals one hit of high dmg under bleeding coupled with stunning and eventually causes hydrophobia to put the players in difficult situations.

3. Fish Knight: This fish dwells in the lower half of ayvondil Sector. By any means, the player shouldn’t use control skills. If you use control skills on Fish Knight, it aggroes almost all the monsters in the area to you causing disaster. Player can defeat the fish by using auto-attacks to avoid aggression of other fishes in area.
 
4. Eel Fish: This fish is not dangerous if you are alone in the underwater. But you must take precaution if your party member is in contact with this fish in the area. If you were to approach this fish near your party member, it will stun u infinitely and ultimately put you in stun cycle which might never end till the player is defeated. 
 
5. Underwater Ambushes: This type of ambushes is slightly different from the bait quest from T4 sector. These are activated only if the player who has quest approaches the middle of area. They don’t disappear unless the leader monster is defeated. So, always watch out for the ambushes activated by players. 

6. Jellyfish Dangers: There are 3 kinds of jellyfish that dwell in the underwater territory and each have their special abilities and are nimble. Players need to watch out for them and defeat them as soon as possible if sighted. I will now list down all the 3 kinds of jellyfish below:

 a. Pink Jellyfish-Sea Wasp: This has only 4k hp but it shouldn't be underestimated. It usually exists in same area as Red Shark. It can cause bleeding and hydrophobia debuff. If spotted , it must be defeat immediately or else it causes bleeding and thereby attracting Red Shark to the player.
   
b. Green Jellyfish : This jellyfish has around 14k hp(abit tanky) and causes poisoning and hydrophobia debuff. If a player were to defeated by green jellyfish, it creates 3 more copies of itself making it difficult for other players to pass through.

c. Blue jellyfish Cyanea :  This jellyfish has 10k hp. It can stun and also cause hydrophobia debuff to the player. This jellyfish is nimble and moves away from player if attacked by melee attacks.
 

As you have seen lot of dangers lurking in the underwater territory of T5, player is advised to use atleast 2 pcs of resist armor and enchant resist runes on helmet and boots to resist all kinds of debuff and also level up talents to develop resistance against the dangers.


I hope this guide will show the path for all the players and wish for all the players to master Ayvondil T5 Sector. 

Map Credits : Warspear Database. Without which I couldn't get a decent map of Ayvondil T5 sector to plot all the required symbols and markers in the map.

Did more testing and now you can't get any skill buffs while in tree. For example you don't get stacks from Double Concentration while you are in tree. Not sure if this was the case also before update tho. @Dr Strange
