The SOF Tradeskill Quest!

#3 failure on the fletching task

I'm not sure what is going on, I've followed the suggested route 3 times and I've now died three times and I'm pretty freaking sick of this happening.

First time I died placing the third box, the next two times were when I was placing the second box. I'm following to the tee the suggested placement of the boxes, has something changed with the quest?

Getting pretty sick of this...

[Zaltak]

I finished the fletching part finally.I think you have to make sure you place the boxes in the same order as you opened them.

[Firecaller]

Woohoo! Finally

Finished the fletching step, the one thing I now know is that if you fail on your first placement, you must give your book to Eron to reset the invisible flags. Otherwise you'll die repeatedly on the placement of the second box.

Cheers, now on to bloodmoon I go...

I may have screwed up Eron's brewing task.I make the Nostrum and gave it to him and he gave me the web thingy.But i when ahead and did the combine and changed it to the caster version.Now i can not get the update when i try to show it to him. Can i just delete the task?

[Firecaller]

Brewing

Zaltek, have you tried re-combining the caster version in an empty jewelry bag to switch it to the melee version? That might work, I had to change mine around for the final part of the fletching combine.

[Zaltak]

Yea thats what i did and it worked thanks:-)

FYI, for the tailoring step you no longer need to clear the rooms by the generators. After days of unsuccessfully trying to clear a room solo, I finally found out they had changed this. So I employed kamikazae tailoring. I don't know whether these steps are necessary but I was runed and waited invis for the tick (to hopefully give me an extra couple seconds unaggro.) Then I ran into the generator where it would pop off my invis and quickly hit combine. After that I promptly died. Get a rez or run back and repeat for the second combine.

I also have a tip for the BMK step. When I collected my eggs, I wanted to try the combine before getting out of the safe hall. So I died (/selfkill or run into a mob), get rez, loot everything but 1 item, gate and go to a brew barrel, after your attempt get another rez. As long as you get the second rez within three hours you won't tempt fate into making the combine fail by leaving.

well while full clear is not necessary anymore... I do hope that people clear enough to at least not die while doing the combine!

I agree with Firecaller and Zaltak, if you follow the directions that Adriel quoted from Allakhazam you stand a good chance of getting DTed and losing your boxes.

Do NOT stand on the altar, as that 'spoiler' says you should. Stand near it on the appropriate side. I think the script gets confused if you're too close to the center of the altar.

My second try I stayed off the altar and it worked fine.

the script looks for the edges

steamsuits and enhanced steamsuits. enhanced steamsuits are usually higher level. these things have a couple tricks to throw at you (frontal AE, single target DD). a good camp is the far northeast corner room.

Is there any specific location to get the Hydraulic fluid? We were killing the enhanced suits in the Factory floor (the large west room) without any drops.

[Aldier]

I got mine on the factory floor. There are also some steamworks over in the foundry that might be able to drop it for you. Though not sure if they are enhanced.

New complication to the HoS combine: all of a sudden it's bright and sunny in HoS, so the directions that assume it's always cloudy are now misleading.

It is weird that it's so sunny there after the patch. But I guess we have to ignore that because the zone is still considered cloudy and shady. I did the step just now: 6AM game time, place first box in center of altar, then move to the west side of it and place one (shaded side), then the east side, open center box (still 6AM), success.
