Contact Unlocked

Mr. Rodney of the Goldbrickers has an offer!

Mr. Rodney of the Goldbrickers wants to help you earn a cape to let the other villains of the Isles know of your rising power.

This contact has now been added to the active tab of your Contact window.

Prior to Introduction

Contact is not introduced. Mr. Rodney begins with his Initial Contact dialogue.

Initial Contact

Hey there, Character. Happy to be talking to you at the moment, especially sans any beatings.

The name is Mr. Rodney, and I'm a representative of King Midas, head of the Goldbrickers.

Now, I know perhaps you and our fine organization haven't gotten along in the past, but, well, let's just consider the past the past, right?

King Midas wishes to extend a gesture of good will towards you in the form of me helping you get what you need. And I think I've got an idea of what we can do to help you out, so why don't we get started?

Greeting

  • King Midas sends his regards.
  • We're here to work together, Character.

Too Busy

Too Low Level

I've got an idea of what we can do to help you out next, Character, but you'll only be able to handle it when you've reached threat level 30

No More Missions

Missing No More Missions Dialogue

Store

Mr. Rodney does not have a store.

Missions

Cape Mission (Level 20-50)

Briefing

One of the things that King Midas wishes to help you out with is your image, Character. No offense, of course.

A sign to other villains and heroes that you're a big bad around here is if you've got a cape.

One of the traditional ways folks around here get their capes is by beating the snot out of a hero and stealing theirs. A rite of passage, you could say.

I know of a way that you can find yourself a hero, and a cape, if you want to elevate your social status around here in the Isles.

  • Tell me how to find this hero.

Well, first, you'll need to get yourself to Paragon City. There are a few ways to go about this, but King Midas is willing to provide you with a specific way, mainly through the Family in Sharkhead.

He's put in a good word for you to some of the powers that be there. You should go talk to Lorenz Ansaldo in Sharkhead Isle. He'll be able to help you get into Paragon, but you may have to help him out with any problems he might have.

Speak with Lorenz Ansaldo

Unnecessary Solicitation

Lorenz is part of the Family. They're experts at smuggling people and goods to and from the mainland.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Speak with Lorenz Ansaldo

Briefing

You need passage to Paragon City? Yah, I can hook you up. I got an arrangement going with the Goldbrickers to handle any 'special deliveries' they might have between the Rogue Isles and the mainland. But that don't mean there ain't no price...

We got a lot of them Longbow agents snoopin' around the docks here lookin' for contraband. I was planning on getting a few of my boys ready to beat some sense into them, but then you happen to show up! Take down all the Longbow agents snoopin' around our warehouse here at the docks and destroy any crates of contraband they may have found.


Defeat all agents, destroy contraband

Unnecessary Solicitation

Lorenz is part of the Family. They're experts at smuggling people and goods to and from the mainland.

Mission Objective(s)

Map: V_Warehouse_30_Layout_12

Longbow constantly looks for evidence to shutdown Family smuggling operations in the Rogue Isles. It's time to convince Longbow to mind their own business!

  • Defeat all agents, destroy contraband
    • 3 crates to destroy

You cleared out the warehouse for the Family! Lorenz has set up a boat to take you to Paragon City, and a truck to take you to the statue park.

 Hero Cape
This is a cape taken from one of the heroes of Paragon City you defeated in combat! Take this back to Fortunata Kalinda back in the Rogue Isles to prove yourself worthy as a destined one of Lord Recluse!

Debriefing

You can now access capes at the tailor!
You may now access the costume part Regular Back Capes at the Tailor.

You did it! Even now, there are villains in the Isles speaking of your abilities in a respectful tone.

However, the heroes in Paragon do not seem too terribly please about what you've done. But at least now when you go toe to toe with a hero, you'll have one more thing to show that you're better than them, and that's what really counts, isn't it?


Aura Mission (Level 30-50)

Briefing

So, what do you think of this whole Destined One story that Recluse has going? King Midas is a little leery on it. In all honesty, how can there be multiple Destined Ones?

Regardless, we've gotten wind of a way for you to unlock your powers even further. Imagine the whole cape deal, then multiply it.

There's a mage, goes by the name of Tarxius, who is supposed to know how to unlock someone's powers, to show everyone that you meet that you are the 'big bad' around here. Interested in looking him up?

  • I just might be.

Archmage Tarixus can be found in Potter's Field on Sharkhead Isle. He doesn't have much love for the heroes of Paragon, so he may just be willing to give you a hand.

Speak with Archmage Tarixus

Unnecessary Solicitation

Have you spoken with Tarixus yet?

Briefing

I sensed your arrival, Character. You seek to follow your destiny and show to everyone you are truly marked by the Powers for greatness. To do this you must give proper homage to the Powers, the great mystical entities who grant power to those who know how to unlock their secrets. To give proper homage to the Powers you must sacrifice arcane energies at a nexus, one of the places where the veil between this world and the mystic planes is weak.

There is a group known as the Carnival of Shadows who occasionally dabble in the arcane. They have acquired some of my artifacts in order to work their chaos magic. If you recover these magical artifacts, I will allow you to use them to unlock your energies as a destined one - if that is indeed what you are. Magical orders such as the Circle of Thorns often built great temples around nexus points in order to tap into their power and to draw energies from the Powers. Go now to find the artifacts, then offer up their arcane energies to the Powers upon an Orenbegan altar!

Debriefing

You can now access auras at the tailor!

I can already feel the power coming out of you, Character! That ritual, it worked!

I don't think there's much else that King Midas or myself can do for you from here on out, but just make sure to remember the Goldbrickers on your path to power!
