4 Good TIPS to know when in the Siren Isle
Here are 4 good tips that you should know about and that will help you and also improve your gamestyle when in the Siren Isle.
1. Flying but not flying
Once you have completed the first part of the storyline in which you will get your ring, which takes around 5 min after entering the island, you have activated the island. Meaning, you now get access to all quests and activities.
The first thing to do is to get access to an item called Experimental Go-Pack. To get this item, go and grab the quest called “Peak Precision”.
This quest will give you the Experimental Go-Pack when doing the quest in which you must reach certain locations on the island. Once completed, you have activated that item in a vendor in the camp. You can now buy the Experimental Go-Pack for a small amount of Flame-Blessed Iron. Using this item gives you a 60 min buff and you can now get tossed up in the air and then goblin glide (slower than the real goblin glide). You can also use an extra action button to rocket boost down to the ground.
BUT, here is the tip.
Do not complete this quest if you don't want to buy Experimental Go-Pack over and over from the vendor. Having this quest in your quest log, will also mean that you will have the Experimental Go-Pack all the time in your bags. No need to buy extra from the vendor and now a 60 min timer on that item.
2. Flying in style
The most effective and fastest way to travel in the Island, is with the Experimental Go-Pack. But only if you use the smart way. Using this item gets you tossed up in the air and then goblin glide (slower than the real goblin glide). Use the extra action button to rocket boost down to the ground again. When the Experimental Go-Pack is ready to use (10 sec cooldown in total), use it again. Use the extra action button to rocket boost down to the ground again. In this way you will be able to pass all obstacles in your path. In this way you will also dodge the mobs that can (will) knock you out of your mount otherwise. So basically, you will bunnyhop when traveling on the island.
3. Fly faster when needed
The Experimental Go-Pack is your main flight around the island for 6 weeks (until you get normal flying). Using this item gives you a 60 min buff and you can now get tossed up in the air and then goblin glide (slower than the real goblin glide). You can also use an extra action button to rocket boost down to the ground.
Sometimes, you will feel that you are too high up in the air, to be able to use the rocket boost to take you down, and sometimes you will feel that it is too slow to get to a specific location. Therefore, there are some items that you can use to help out.
Goblin Glider Kit
You can use the normal Goblin Glider Kit when you are up in the air with your Experimental Go-Pack. Since the Experimental Go-Pack glider is much slower than a Goblin Glider, you will travel faster.
Potion of Gust
When you are up in the air after using the Experimental Go-Pack, you can use the Potion of Gust. This will make you fly faster with your Experimental Go-Pack.
4. Bombs Away
When you are in the storm, there are loads of mobs and many of them are also elite mobs. It can be hard when you are in the storm. Each week, you get access to gadgets that are located just next to you when you enter the storm. The first one is a bomb. Earlier on PTR, this bomb was not so good. But now, it is amazing. When you wear the bomb you will have passive dmg that procs bombs around you to do dmg on enemies. You will also have an active ability on your extra action button. This bomb does really high damage and you should definitely use it all the time, as soon as it is available to click on again. It also has a short cooldown. No matter if your character is well geared or not, it will significantly boost up your damage on the mobs in the storm. Don't skip it.
