The SOF Tradeskill Quest!

[Zyeil]

Great quest overall.

Very challenging and enjoyable. The only thing I would suggest is toning down, or even removing, the combine requirements for the brownie hair - There are tons of tightly packed mobs in that room, and it'll take most players a small raid to clear them before repops. Since there is already a pretty hefty kill requirement in the zone just collecting the pieces, it seems a bit excessive/out of character with the other task steps.

As for the reward - was the addition of 5ac to both final? Wondering if there is any chance this is getting another 5ac or 10ac to make it more viable for tanks.

Also, related to that, is there some reason the BiC aug was nerfed to no longer fit in slot 3? It seems there are NO augs with AC that still fit in the slot 3 (All the old LDoN's and BiC have had type 3 removed, with the possible exception of an aug called "Frosty Marble Sphere of Augmentation" which doesn't seem to come from anywhere).

There is no specific mob to target. They can drop anywhere in the zone in my experience. If you have been to Steam Factory or have downloaded the maps, the "open room in the west" and the foundry are pretty hard-to-mistake locations and not really vague at all. I guess I sometimes forget not everyone downloads the zone maps though.

They are vague in that they do not list kill mob_01 and get them. The reason is that they are zone wide drops. Just like the gem grade faycites of different colors in all the other zones in SoF that you have to get. The red/green from Fort Mech, the Blue from Mech Guardian, etc.

Was wondering which mobs / models specifically people were getting yellow grade faycite from, all I could glean from the posts is a "big open room in the west" and someone mentioned the foundry area. Both are kind of vague and would help if I had a specific mob to target etc.

Thanks for any help or hints!

Beosan - I was getting yellow and purple faycite drops at the Ironhorn camp. I can't remember whether it was dropping off the minotaurs, the gnomes, the brownies, or the steamworks, but after a few hours there, you should have all you need.

Thank you, I will try there.

LOL sadly, I wasn't at all ever concerned about the 400 skill combines, the tense ones for me were the combines with the Necklace involved leaving me almost terrified I would have to start over.

[Zolina]

Wonderful quest indeed, I've enjoyed it immensely. I don't know which is scarier, all the dangerous mobs you have to kill to farm the pieces, or the nail-chewing nervousness of attempting the 400 skill combines.

I tried to make sure you would never loose anything you cannot recover. Feel free to let me know if it ever happens.

If you fail the worst that should happen to you is that you have to go farm some parts specific to that step again.


This is great. Thank your very much Ngreth.

This quest is so much fun.

i know i for one readily welcome a whole ,long raid drop prgoression for this quest, perhaps you could choose a tradeskill and the final item would have somewhat different stats and mod 2s and a tradeskill mod of 15% depending on which tradeskill you choose( which would be visible via reward selection ahead of time

[Archus]

It does depend of the time, but if you do all the clicking and /open /loot at noon, it's the middle box.

Or do it at 6 am game time and save yourself 18 RL minutes of sitting around doing nothing. Its the middle box at 6 am, 9 am, noon, and 3 pm game times.

Pages?

*NM* Mob was waiting for me to post here so it could drop it.

AFK to cry.

[Ngreth Thergn]

put the jewelry in the jewelry kit by itself, click combine to make it its other version and try again.

[Garokor]

I received that same message Garokor. My problem was I received the caster reward in the previous task. The melee reward is what is used in the combine. I clicked it over to the melee version and was able to do the combine without any problem.

How you transform the caster version to melee version ? (it is exactly the problem I have)

Thank Ionadeni, I find how to do it an dit works

[Telorea]

We killed every spider in two of the BMK instanced group missions. Not a single egg. Do the eggs only drop in the static zone ?

Yes.
