One Per Arma/Extremely Slow Item Respawns
Posted: 22 May 2017 16:49
After seeing the post about Jadestone I thought I'd add this because there are quite a few more. That have all become annoying.
Tarshir - Solace - Tarshirs Glasses: I rarely even see this item anymore, even after arma. And not because it requires a generally high awareness but because players run to it just so they can wear it as a cosmetic item.
Edoral - Calia - Edoral Sword and Serpentine Ring: One comes before the other much like Jadestone. If someone has found the parchment and charcoal from what I remember its almost impossible to find them again. Been a while since ive done this one so it might of been changed.
Shire Mayor - Shire - Pie Quest: The spoon there has an extremely high respawn time for such a relatively easy quest. Whats more annoying is if you dont know the trick its a death trap which a lot die to because they dont understand awareness mechanics.
Dougan - Flotsam - Shell Quest: Ive attempted this one a few times and while the octopus has a normal respawn time the shell wirhin the chest does not.
Child - Pelargir - Grub Quest: This is a hidden quest that I believe is not even listed on the orbs. It is the one that only very small players like beginners can do before he wont give you the quest anymore. He can also be killed so not only do you have to make it to him before you've even really explored the game but getting the quest itself can be a task.
Thera - Gont - Seashell Quest: This is one of the quests newbies normally get sent to. In this one you're to scour the beach for a seashell. Respawn times are fine, maybe could be a bit quicker for a newbie quest. But the problem lies in the RNG, there are multiple trash items and you've got to get ljcky with RNG for the Blue Seashell. Ive heard of some players attempting this three times before they finally obtained it and this also prevents further quests from completion as its a chain quest.
Herder Boy - Thwil - With lots of newbies being coerced to the Mages, Rangers etc. They try a simple quest like this and cannot complete it because their cloaks which cover descriptions somehow bug the quest. This one for instance even after getting the sheep to where they need to go you will recieve nothing. This has been confimed for Ranger and MM robes, unsure about any other concealment cloaks.
Beggar - Kabal - Beggars Quest: Another that has a level requirement for small players but there is no one directing them to him. So if they grow beyond the level and never hear of this guy they miss out.
Ghost - Terel - Sandal Quest: I see this sandal sit for entire weeks and other times dont see it for 2 armas and everyone is complaining they cant find it. Ive never had a problem with this one personally but it seems to be an annoying one.
Joe - Terel - Queen Bug Quest: Ive heard a lot of people say they cannot find her anymore and even I myself checked once or twice and she hasnt been anywhere in that lair. Not sure if something was changed in the quest or the NPC isnt loading after death or loading period.
Female Orc - Sparkle - Orc Figurine: Other then what seems to be a slow respawn time for the newbie town what makes this quest annoying is the darkness of that cave. Im assuming it never felt the darkness update love because unlike normal darkness it acts like the old system of darkness levels. This requiring a newbie to buy lots of torches or lamps just to illuminate the place. What makes it a bit worse and something that should be implemented... is there is no equipment shop in Sparkle which provides items in general or quests. Things like backpacks, light source, purses (Since evwryone feels like robbing newbies lately), knives for cutting, etc.
