sublime task

[BeltiraBelkira]

I went and got my sublime book task and started killing in fortress mechanotus where the task says to kill. I have killed a few "a shock reaver" and have gotten no task update. Am i killing the wrong mobs? or is there some bug with it?

[Durew]

Same here, looking for the proper reavers to update the task.. anyone?

[BeltiraBelkira]

Not very helpful.... would it have hurt to type the NPC or mob names and maybe a zone name for the guy? Its a new expansion and a lot of people are still taking their first steps in these new zones.

A little information sharing would be much more friendly. After all its what this community is built on.

as far as the quote on NPC it would take quite a while to list all the mob names since its a different mob per race. Its the NPC in your home town you got the other 4 DON cultural aug quests from (see eqtraders-quests-DoN) as for the mobs to slay in fortress...from what i can tell i "think" any of the gnomes with a "xxx" (i.e. a single word for each name rather than shock or w/e) can be Phers for them. If that statement is wrong then from what i can see there are only 3 spawn spots in the entire zone. And they are called "a reaver"

Well...
Because the guy who gives the quest it is different for each race and in different zones for most races... and you have not identified you race.

But in short it is the "Artisan" in your races home town that gives the quest.

I am leaving the mob target up to players to identify.

Gaa My Bad... I read this thread before I had finished my morning coffee and didnt grasp that it was the racial tasks. I just read task and figured it was one quest/task NPC.

Sorry for jumping on people here!
Gotta remember to pay attention to what I read!

From what I can tell, the mob for the Sublime quests is "a reaver", found in the first field, near the area you zone in. Just about anything looks like it could be a PH, but I've been told they seem most common at the mobs that stand facing the wall. Oh, and watch out for the wandering named ... he's LOTS tougher than the trash in the area.

I'm a little disappointed that it's quite that restrictive. In the past, when a mob name included the key word, it would count. Since the quest just says to "kill 40 reavers," I expected "a shock reaver" to count for this quest, but apparently it doesn't. This really restricts the area in which you can hunt and pretty much forces everyone into a horribly overcrowded area. The Fortress is one of the best-laid-out zones I've ever seen, easily able to support dozens of camps, but this mob restriction forces everyone doing the quest into 3-4 camps right at the zone in.

[Durew]

agree with Kyro

Ngreth any chances of adding all reavers to the task? Was it meant to be just the plain "a reaver"?

[Ngreth Thergn]

The wandering named... Octa the Collector? definitely watch for that, it is a raid target.

a_reaver is most likely to be in gnome groups.

[KyrosKrane]

No, the named is something like Gearmarshal or Warmarshal. I'll see if I can dig up my logs. It took us two full groups, including a warrior tank, to take him down.

As to the reavers, the shock reavers are also gnomes. They're found at least on the first floor up the elevators; I haven't explored deeper in yet.

[KyrosKrane]

Found it, the wandering named is "The Gearmarshal". Octa is indeed a raid mob, but he/she/it is easy enough to avoid.
