sublime task

[Mukkul]

The problem with these tasks (not just sublime) in a static zone is they require a specific type of trash mob, but different types of trash mobs share the same spawn table. So upon zone reset, that specific mob type gets exterminated by the first-comers and soon there is nothing left but the other types. Even if you know which mobs are PH, you have to kill 3-5 times as many mobs to get the required task updates.

lousy luck

What sucks is having to kill 60-80 reavers to complete the impressions.

That has happened to multipel people in my guild. I took 62.

[Pyraxis]

With everything except the mammoths, I've had the impression done way before the end. Shamans were done at 16 kills, reavers done at 21 kills, foundry workers were done at 8, and mammoths I had to do 23.

This quest was a pain in the ass, not in the killing itself, but just in getting people to help with the killing, and in the mobs being perma-camped. I had to do both quests at 3 am just to have them available.

[Xenephex]

Maybe this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I haven't seen it. One thing that helps with this is that each person in the group seems to have their own random chance of getting an 'impression.' We had 4 people in our 6 man group who were doing the quest when we were doing reavers, and different people would get the impression on different kills. On at least one kill, two people got the impression.

So you don't necessarily have to compete with other people for the camps unless someone has six people all trying to do the quest at once. You could cooperate and group together.

reavers

i killed all 40 reavers but still need 2 impressions i am a half elf i did get some reavers to pop on the thrird level but where way to hard to seperate mostly killed them in front of the elevators do you get the impression on the reavers from looting or is it like the foundry workers which was easy bring 2 groups and just steady pull them got the impressions realy easy and the kills this is how the a reavers should have been set up like instead of this insane way there are now

[RymeEM]

I got all of my impressions done well before I had killed enough to complete task, on my 8th foundry worker I had them finished for that part and after 30 a reaver. As I write this I am still not finished but have that part complete.

[Montach_FV]

i'm having terrible luck with this task, its quite annoying being at 27/40 reavers with 1 impression update. certainly hope these odds dont continue, i dont wanna kill 125 more reavers for my other 5 updates =/

Steam factory is cake compared to getting the FV reavers with the zone being camped so often. I've been DA training the blimp mobs out on my bard to root rot with my shaman, very slow kills.

Up the update rate on impressions plz =(

[Tobynn]

The first is the open plain near the zone in. Set up camp at the first set of elevators, clear the two wandering patrols, move to the center of the field, and kill all living gnomes. Gnome group member sacrifices are optional. Reavers seem to be quite rare in this area; during three hours of almost non-stop killing last night, our group managed to find a total of five reavers.

I have found just the reverse. Plenty of reavers in that open courtyard in front of the elevators, especially from respawn within those roaming packs of five. Just last night, I believe we ended up getting 13 reavers in 60-90 mins killing nothing but those roamers. They respawn right quick.

Mechanics are not PHs for reavers

I've been soloing the gnome mechanics clustered around the zone, and I have never seen any repops other than other mechanics and many times get robots there. I'd say that only the other gnomes, with the various classes, are really PHs for the reavers. Mechanics are PHs with robots.

I noticed the other day after returning to EQ from a break that I had an update for an impression. How do you even get those? I don't recall looting anything. It's been awhile so I'm not entirely sure what I did .

[Ngreth Thergn]

Impressions are "virtual" loot. So, no actual loot involved. It is a random update when you make the appropriate kill.

I'm a little behind do starting this quest. Does this mean I have to loot the mobs or do I just have to be in the grp?

You just have to be in the group when the mob is killed. You will see a message when you get an update. (I even seem to recall a negative message as well, but it has been a long time).

Gorse

I never saw a negative message, but be sure to have your book WITH you or you will get no impressions.

[Gorse]

Correct, you have to have the task, have the book in your inventory, be in the zone and in the group killing the mobs.

Now that I type that, I seem to recall some discuss that you can be in the same raid (and all the other requirements) and get credit as well.
