 Breaking News! The Latest from Disruptor Beam

The first full-length AvA phase, Fireborn, was marred with technical difficulties. What was intended to be a two week battle was reduced to one week. Within days, DB discovered that VP wasn't tallying correctly, creating an inaccurate leader board. Ultimately, the entire phase was cancelled.

However, all participants will receive the following:
 * 50 x Gold
 * 100,000 x Silver
 * 10 x Tokens of the Strong
 * 10 x Tokens of the Rich
 * 10 x Tokens of the Clever
 * 15 x Pyre
 * 45 x Rare Resources
 * 90 x Uncommon Resources
 * the "Fireborn Survivor" title

DB worked hard to get this phase back on track, even missing out on US Thanksgiving, and it just wasn't meant to be. We'd like to thank them for their hard work and dedication.

 How to Help

Please consider helping us out on the Wikia! The game is constantly growing and changing, and it's difficult to keep up with it all! You don't have to be an expert with coding; there is something for all skill levels! Why not contribute to one of the following projects?
 * Add quests to Breaking Ties -- we're down a few chapters!
 * Add Special Offers as they appear

 Your Suggestions We are always happy to hear from users of the Wiki! Please feel free to post on the wall of an admin, reply to this thread, or create a brand new thread with questions, concerns, or suggestions.

 This Month's Poll Last month, we asked you to name the source of your power. It was close, but the winner - by one vote - was intrigue. While they sing no songs for spiders, may your secrets always be useful. Here is the breakdown of your votes: Many GoTA players have played through all of the quests, either once or numerous times (due to reincarnation). So for this month's poll, we want to know ... who was your favorite DB-created opponent to face in battle? Was it the Silent Lady? Lord Roxton? Or the various members of House Goldfoot? There are lots of opportunities for write-in answers here, so if you feel we missed your favorite, let us know who!
 * WINNER: "A spider in the garden." (intrigue) - 9
 * "You win or you die." (battle) - 8
 * "Family, duty, honor - is that the right order?" (general) - 6
 * "All desires are valid to a man with a full purse." (trade) - 2

This poll will run during the month of December, and we'll share the results with you next month. Cast your vote here.

 AvA Tokens and Epic Weapons While Fireborn didn't go as planned, DB did release details about the future of AvA rewards. Participants will be awarded tokens, which can then been spent to purchase epic weapons.

One type of token is awarded in each region, so your alliance leaders will now have that to consider when building camps. Locations may vary for each phase, but this is what DB had planned for Fireborn: Tokens of the Strong were awarded in the North, Iron Islands, and the Stormlands. Tokens of the Rich were awarded in the Westerlands, the Reach, and the Riverlands. Tokens of the Clever were awarded in the Crownlands, Dorne, and the Vale.

Once you have enough tokens, you can trade them in for some epic AvA gear! The recipes are located in the Tourney Arena, but they include:


 * Brandon's Bloody Blade - 40 Tokens of the Strong and 40 Tokens of the Clever
 * Serwyn's Mirror Shield - 40 Tokens of the Rich and 40 Tokens of the Clever
 * Lann the Clever's Knife - 80 Tokens of the Clever
 * Bran the Builder's Tools - 40 Tokens of the Strong and 40 Tokens of the Rich

Something to look forward to when AvA is back!

 Wiki Projects Your admin have a few things up their sleeves. While Ghost continues to improve upon the AvA pages, Velvet is writing a heap of tutorials to help future contributors to the Wiki! Not only that, we are also considering new page layouts to make the Wiki function better on mobile devices! Mobile users, please offer your suggestions!

 New Features The main Wiki page will ultimately be revamped, but for now, we've begun posting the special in-game events! Hopefully this will help fellow players decide what to do each week. Besides, it never hurts to know when you can get some extra experience from adventures! (Hint: now!)

 Wikia Stats Sadly, we don't have some of the stats for November. Our host site only keeps certain stats around for one week, and it has been a busy month for the admin. Our apologies for this -- but here are the stats we do have:

For those that don't know, WAM is the Ranking system that Wikia use to Rank all of their Wikis based on how "healthy" a Wiki is. The lower the number the better. New Users, new pages, traffic to the Wiki all help determine a Wiki's Ranking

 Most Visited Pages The following were the Top Ten most visited pages this month:
 * 1) Free Stuff (=)
 * 2) Reincarnation (=)
 * 3) Arya's Bow (new)
 * 4) Quickening the Dragon Egg (=)
 * 5) Game Pages (6)
 * 6) Ceremonial Bowl (9)
 * 7) Sworn Swords (3)
 * 8) Hints and Tips (new)
 * 9) List of Quests (new)
 * 10) Valyrian Glyphs (new)

The following pages dropped off of Top Ten most visited:
 * Superior Items (5)
 * Sacrifice (7)
 * Valyrian Steel Shards (8)
 * Ceremonial Bow (9)
 * Giant (10)

Arya's Bow was a free gift from DB, so its appearance on the Top 10 list isn't surprising. It's good to see some of our Wikian-created pages on the Top 10 list!

This concludes November's report on the Wikia! Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this site!

As always, let us know if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or shout-outs for us! We'd love to hear from you!
