How many supplicants does it take to be able to deepbond? It says 'quite a lot' in the description, but does anybody know the actual number?

It used to be 100, now it's...20 I think.

That makes me want to laugh, because I normally don't think of 20 as 'quite a lot'!

huh, I thought it was 100 to do the original bond and 20 to rebond if the Supernal/Demon dies

It's been changed to 20 supplicants the first time and another 20 if the whatever dies. Yay for only having to run the supplicants quest twice! Course, I couldn't count how many times I've done it. Mmm supplicants' karma....

How many sands is it possible to get? I can only seem to find five each time.

I got up to 9 once.

Not saying how though.

10 each run.



Yup. I had to do the 100 twice, and the third time I was just going to keep cosmic fire, but it was changed to 20 fortunately. Having to do that many supplicants was annoying.

The Isle of Light only has five locations though...

Yes, yes it does. THINK Abethor!

...Digging twice in each area?

I'm guessing that's the answer. Thanks for the answers everyone!

Brilliant!

Now... why did they change it? It makes deepbonding so... trivial, don't you think?

Because Supernals and Demon Lords were getting squished a lot at the time, and people were getting tired of getting hundreds of supplicants/spikes.

For everytime you want to deepbond, you get 100 supplicants. Every single time. Remember, the Demon Lords and Supplicants can fall at any time the opposing City, or some people in the Communes, feel like getting together a group stong enough. So not only do you have to raise that Supernal/DL, you have to bring in 100 more supplicants.

We'll see how long you last under these conditions.

Note: I am aware that it does get done. Supplicants is easy, good gold, exp and karma the same with Spectres.

Sorry, I guess I should stop being lazy next time and post what I really mean.

I meant, why not 100 the first time (since, it is supposed to be something special) and from thereon just 20. Also, if the count shouldn't reset if they got killed while you were in the middle of doing them.

It's perfectly fine the way it is.
