DoD Bellfast Question...

[Bonzz]

You must quest the Seals of Darkhollow book -- as it is required to make the Seal pattern.

However -- is there an actual need to quest the Bellfast books other than as clues/hints to the overall recipes? (Meaning -- can't you make the Aug anyway with just the seal book once you knwo the recipe -- or are the book ssomehow required as an ingredient or for flagging?)

I'm not even certain that belfasts quests are even for the new augs. I've made the Goo, Seals, and looted numerous mechanoinstructions, and supposedly only need a Stone which are no drop and raid drops apparently or at least instanced dropped.

I'm still not clear (and not sure if anyone else is either) whether there is some special container required to do the combine in or not. I'm still doing his tasks because frankly they are sending me to camps I would xp in anyway. I just wish I had gotten these tasks before they nerfed the WW quest because those pieces dropped like crazy in the instances. I'm sure even in monster missions you get looting credit even if you dont get to keep the items.

Does this mean you confirm that you get task updates in monster missions and these stay with you after finishing?

Or are you guessing / hoping?

can confrm you do get credit - looted a darkhollow geode in the progression mission fall of ilsalin - mission 3 given by jazarrad the prophet. At end of mission all loot gone but quest had updated as showing the geode had been looted - i quickly vendor mined one off brother hidden path and went to home town to do turn in and collected my seals book

I was guessing/hoping but why else have the extremely high drop rate in instances otherwise, and it is extremely high for these quest items compared to non-instanced drop rates. Glad to see someone confirm it now. If you get all 4 tasks, and then do the spell missions you should have no problem getting most of the items.

I just hope I never see any stones, or last blood steel drop in a monster mission, that would just make me cry...maybe they will fix it so that the items you loot go into the 48 hr shroud bank or something. I know you can loot items like the shoulders and swords in the WW missions with no problems, so why not everythign else?

That confirmation is indeed a good news.
