'''From the Start to the Middle (Mid) area'''
 +
 
 +
To get into the main part of Sector 10 you must first pass the first fence. The first fence, directly in front of where you start raids, should be gone through with care. The left and right posts are armed and will cause you to instantly die if you go too near them, keep close to the centre post and you will be fine.
 +
 
 +
Once past the first fence you will start encountering aliens. The first type of alien you will probably encounter is your bog standard ensigns and generals. Sector 10 ensigns (the type IIs even more so) have quite high HP for their level; however they are honestly quite easy on their own, even solo. There might also be an alien larvae or two around here, so use the device you picked up on the mission on them, alien larvae are nasty little buggers and can hit upwards of 2k. Generals and Alien Comm Officers are capable of uncalming mobs nearby, so be sure to calm/kill them asap. They can and will pose a problem at times, when they uncalm everything and create chaos. Recalm nearby mobs as quickly as possible, and focus on killing the Gen/Comm Officer.
 +
 
 +
Pushing on through the left branch of the ravine the next thing you will encounter is probably going to be a regeneration conduit. These do no damage however they must be killed as they cast AoE snares, they have little HP so rangers should fire from a distance at them to minimize the amount of people snared. If you get snared please use free movement stims as fast as possible, especially if you are a support healer as the AoE snare also lowers nano init.
 +
 
 +
 +
 
 +
At this point you will also probably encounter alien vectors, which look like extremely large versions of Zixx. Vectors are hard hitting monsters, however they have relatively low HP so like type AoE nuking type IIs vectors should be targeted first, possibly even before the AoE nukers.
 +
 
 +
The raid force should then carry on following the same path until they reach a point where the area widens. There are no branches in the ravine until the wide space except for the first left. There will be no monsters other that the ones previously mentioned.
 +
 
 +
'''The Middle (Mid) area and boss'''
 +
 
 +
 +
 
 +
The Boss. The Middle boss has 2 tricks up his sleeve, and both involve spawning things. The first thing he will spawn are Alien Defense Systems, little balls that nuke underneath themselves for 20k. Crats and fixers should spam the boss with AoE snares as soon as these balls are spawned. Targeting the boss while casting the snare will affect all the balls. The second spawn is multiple Alien Larvae. Crats should AoE calm these (nearly 100% chance of calming), and then the team should use beacons on them asap. This boss has a 1 hour respawn.
 +
 
 +
 +
 
 +
The advised method of dealing with loot is to have 1 designated looter for everything (pick someone trustworthy!) and then have the team roll all the loot at the end of the entire raid.
 +
 
 +
'''
 +
From the Mid area to the East and West areas:'''
 +
 
 +
The start of the East and the West areas are the two gaps that you saw previously. The team leader will pick one to do and instruct the team to continue down it. The monsters and the process of killing/calming them is exactly the same as it was from the start to the mid.
 +
 
 +
On the way to the East the team should hug the North wall to prevent adds, on the way to the West the team should hug the South wall.
 +
 
 +
On the ways to both the East and West the team should continue going straight until the second right. After the second right, on both the East and the West sides, you will encounter the second type of fence. The second type of fence requires you to press a Biological Transceiver on the floor before entering. When you press the item a yellow shield that takes 10 NCU will be cast on you. Make sure you have the yellow shield in your NCU before crossing the fence. If you do not have the shield in your NCU the fence will kill you.
 +
 
 +
After passing the fence continue straight on until you hit a second fence of the same type, repeat the fence process and you are in either the East or West areas.
 +
 
 +
If you are at the East area you do not have to clear any adds, just stand near the tree to the left of the fence and begin buffing.
 +
 
 +
If you are in the West area hug the West wall and clear/calm the aliens around it until you reach a blue crystal relatively near the boss, you should stand here and prepare for the boss fight. There is usually a high level Immature Alien Vector nearby, which makes a nice charm pet.

will

'''From the Mid area to the North area:'''
 +
 
 +
Note: As Senk pointed out, the North area is bugged. There are a few level 250 aliens, including the Alien Patrol, which in turn spawn level 250 cocoons. I have yet to see a team survive once someone is cocooned.
 +
 
 +
The North area is the hardest of all areas. The reason it is so difficult is that the way to the North is tightly packed with aliens so they need to be pulled carefully to avoid agro.
 +
 
 +
To enter the way to the North area you should go back to where you killed the boss at the mid area then walk North into the gap. The team needs to be especially careful about keeping tightly packed in order to minimize the amount of adds. Watch for groups of Generals/Comm Officers here.
 +
 
 +
The raid force should keep following the right branches and ignoring the left in order to proceed towards the North area.
 +
 
 +
There are two gates of the second type that the raid force needs to get past, please read the section of getting to the East and West areas for more information on how to do this.
 +
 
 +
Once the raid force gets past the second gate they need to be extremely careful to hug the West wall. Keep an eye out for alien patrol, and avoid them at all costs, else the whole team is likely to die. The best course of action I have found is for the team to continue moving along the West wall, even if not all mobs are calmed. For some reason the mobs quit following after a short while. It can be helpful to AoE snare as you move.
 +
 
 +
'''The North Boss'''
 +
 
 +
The North boss is also relatively easy, once he is reached. His special is a small area to be covered by alien napalm, which is a 2s tick 1k dot. Just keep moving to avoid the napalm. This boss has a 2 hour respawn.

- Inactive Alien Translation Device / Relatively common, one every few bosses.
 +
 
 +
- Viralbots, Strong Lead/Enduring Lead/Arithmetic Lead/Spiritual Lead/Supple Lead / relatively common, one every few bosses, I find enduring and spiritual tend to be more common than the others however. Roughly around ql 150.

- Alien Data Storage Crystals, Combat/Defense/Insight/Medical/Nano Technology/Protection/Technical, ignore the translated versions, they are created using trade skills and I couldn't remove them from the list. There is also an Alpha Crystal listed however I have not seen it drop and there appears to be no HUDs for it. Probably not in game, or it could possibly a rare item that is exchanged for something, like the Sector 42 plans. We'll wait and see.

== The Role of Each Profession: ==
 +
'''
 +
 
 +
'''Adventurer:''' As an adventurer you are a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Your main role will be DD, as well as extra healing. Unfortunately your calms are useless, because the AoE got reduced to 5m, and the mobs have to be not aggroed. Make sure not to perk Bio Cocoon or run any dmg shields.
 +
 
 +
 +
 
 +
'''Bureaucrat:''' You have 2 roles. Between bosses, you are a calmer. Spam your AoE, and use Junior Last Minute Negotiations to calm Comm Officers, Generals, and any other pesky mob. Just remember that the duration is only 42s for that calm. Upon reaching bosses, your role becomes stunner/add control, while your bot/charm pets contributes to DD. Specific tactics are required of you against the Mid boss. Your nano Malaise of Motivation works against the bosses as a minor UBT.

later). Try to have as much HP as possible, and evade close. If calm mobs should happen to break and all agg the doc, Mongo can save the team, since it keeps the doc alive, and gives the crat time to recalm everything. Use mongo sparingly, usually only for the HP/HoT against bosses.
 +
 
 +
'''Engineer:''' Your role is DD against the bosses, and providing reflect shields against the bosses if the team has no soldier. It is usually wisest to not even pop your bot until the team is preparing for the boss fight, to prevent the pet from ruining things as it does so well.
 +
 
 +
'''Fixer:''' Your role is DD, and assisting with AoE snares against the Mid boss. With a good crit setup and an SMG, you can be one of the top DDs in a team. Fixers in GA IV with a good defensive setup and a lot of OBs can even solo the 3 edge bosses.
 +
 
 +
'''Keeper:''' Your main role is DD, but you are valuable for the auras you provide, especially nano and ward. With a Copy of the Excalibur your damage output will be enormous.
 +
 
 +
'''MA:''' Damage is what you were made to do, and DD is your role. You will find some aliens you will crit 100% against, which will make your dps skyrocket. Be careful not to steal agro in boss fights, and when necessary be willing to provide backup healing.
 +
 
 +
 +
 
 +
 +
 
 +
'''Shade:''' You are a major DD, end of story. Run stun procs/perks against bosses as much as possible, as they will be invaluable in slowing damage against the tank. Be careful not to steal agro, you are squishy.
 +
 
 +
'''Soldier:''' You are arguably the best tank, and you also fill the role as a major DD. Make sure not to run any reflects until it is time to fight the bosses. For boss fights, use SL reflect, so you have something still when TMS goes down. The West boss will be the hardest for you to tank because of the nano drain.
 +
 
 +
'''Trader:''' You are a support role, and a sort of jack-of-all-trades. You can provide nano for the team, your umbral will help calms land easier, and you can calm adds and single mobs. A weapon with a high max damage is your best choice, to maximize damage output. Be willing to assist in healing if necessary.
