Morale Boost?[edit]

Maruna-Kurina provides the following information regarding these BCNM Ops:

Alas, as well as all things in war, there is a double-edge to this blade.
Should you seek to defeat enemy leaders via operations codenamed "Splitting Heirs," "Cracking Shells," or "Plucking Wings" and suffer defeataru, the beastmen armies will be those shouting and raising their banners in triumph.

Can someone confirm that losing these Operations provides a morale boost to the Beastmen, and if so, (about) how much? --Nuilvian 16:54, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Airy Buckler?[edit]

Originally thought to be a Serket (S) drop, it is now claimed to drop from here, though it isn't listed on the op page. I love this site and the community...but as a DNC/SAM, this is pretty much the last piece of gear I'm drooling over that I haven't gotten yet (since there's no such thing as AF2 XD). Is it confirmed the Airy Buckler drops here? Or was someone just being mean again? Should I go beat up Taisais? Are we sure it isn't a typo, and I have to kill Fairies for a Fairy Buckler? Being Windurstian, I can't just spam the op - and it being a Bastokan "Hold a ton of areas" op, it's not going to be available for a while either. ><

Love, --Vyenpakakapaka 12:22, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Quest Availability Requirements[edit]

There's a lot of disinformation on these pages for the availability requirements for this quest. I am on Valefor and none of the nations have ever had control of Beastmen Strongholds and yet there are the items from the BCNM all around. It would be nice if people could put up the actual requirements so more people can try this Quest.

  • Such items can arrive via server transfers. --Elwynn 09:16, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

its easy to get access to this BCNM if you have enough friends or a deceided Linkshell ! as soon Beadeaux (S) is accessable for Bastok you have to spend some time there and kill Quadavs with or without Tags... have to kill about 20+ Quadavs there for a win which hurts the Prosperity & Morale from the Quadav

  • note you dont have to make them run away each time you kill a Campaign Quadav the lose a little bit Influence !!!
