  • I have definitely disabled the upper picture you have. It will not work there.

    the other picture looks like the right thing. just be sure that you hug the spinning wheels after you have cleared NPC's from that area you have in yellow. (or a similar box around each)

    • Hugged spinning wheels and still getting the falling apart message

      • Posted by Ngreth on the EQLive forums in regards to the Steam Factory step:

        I found a bug in the specific generator that in the room of 4 generators. The SE of the 4 is looking for an NPC that is not in the right area (pretty far away actually). I will remove this NPC from the script.I also found two of the auras missing, which I will look into.

        the North West generator (the one I had been using for my tests) should be working properly, and has fewer npc's that have to be dead for the combine (though you will need some killing to get to that generator I expect)

        • was the difficulty to clear one of these rooms ever tested with a non high end raider group ? I mean it sure is possible for a group of lets say coa equipped chars to kill mobs in there .. but clearing 1 of the rooms is lets say quite a challenge ... but then i guess the quest was intented for the bored raider anyway.

          Seems i have to come back with some bored friends and clear it 'raid style' :/

          Anyone tried one of the 4 rooms after the friday's patch or is it still broken ?
          SE one didnt work that i can tell at least.

          • Friday was an emergency item patch and absolutely nothing else in that patch.

            I have made changes that should fix many of the issues, but it needs a full patch. I have heard there may be one Jun 10th, but I am not 100% sure on that, so we will have to see.

            This was tested with a group in "full" katta gear, replacing visible pieces with tier 2 from SoF expansion, and 500 AA's. That is our "target" group for Steamfactory. They did it with the normal learning curve, without difficulty once they learned the area. Respawn was slowed down TWICE since this test making it even easier. (I think 15 to 18 to 22 minutes) Yes it is difficult, and yes it is meant that you will likely need to gear up to do this. It is definitely intended that you will need a group.

              thanks for the response will patiently wait for the next patch.

              My group setup wasn't fast enough for clearing a whole room ( missed 1 or 2 mobs before respawn ) - group setup was war, clr, shm, wiz, mnk , ench - equip ranging from coa to demi+ equip and epic 2 with all 1k+ aa except the monk. Even had a necro help us from outside as dps.
              Any hint on where to gear up to be able to get this done without raiding is appreciated

              • Is it possible to have someone train mobs away for a few seconds so I can attempt the combines? Or must they be killed for the combines to work?

                  • About 3 months ago, I did attempt the DA train to see for myself it did not work.

                    Some day I might get a group willing to go to Bloodmoon to get the eggs. Been stuck at this step for months (all anyone cares about is XPing since there are too many AA for people to work). Barring combine failures, it is all I have left to finish this series.

                  • I'm confused. I finally get a group (2 actually) to clear the NW generator room. I try about a dozen different places around and inside it and I can't get the combine to work.

                    Where am I supposed to be standing?

                    Thanks.

                      • I was in the NW room, we had the room cleared of all mobs.

                        I tried standing inside the generator, several points outside of it, but touching it, and none of them allowed me to complete the combines.

                        • Were you levitating? No idea if this matters or not here, but some explore task updates won't trigger if you are too high. The air fight in NC for the mage epic 1.5 also had trouble triggering with levi on if memory serves.

                          I'm not quite there yet, but I hope to be doing this part soon myself, so I really hope that we can get the location definitively resolved. Maybe those who have tried it since the patch that took out the no-kill exploit spot could draw diagrams where they tried the combine and failed and Ngreth could comment on where he tested the combine.

                          • I made sure that steamfactory was patched today.

                            Hopefully the issues we are seeing will go away with the patch, and you can use any of the generators.

                            You should now know when you are close enough also. It should be obvious. (see quest text for an idea of this....)

                            • Thanks. I was going to ask you about this since it wasn't in the patch message.

                              I'll try to get a group together tonight .. and since I can use any of the 4, it will be easier to clear one
