Investigator's Badge  

 

Anyone know the inestigator's spawn time? I came in and he wasn't there ><

Completed as a level 48 Ranger solo. All mobs were green and there was no danger of them killing me. The quest is working but it is incredibly slow.

hehe actually this quest is more than a year old as my Paladin on Bertoxx had gotten it then..been wondering about "the next step" I know there is a second as to further...aslo you have to follow the directions perfectly and somewhat quickly can be fustrating but for my 2cp.s this IS one of verants best quest wise. an interesting one. 8o)

"You can never fail if you but try"

I attempted this last night (Apr 30, 2002).

Got the helm, then got the book, found the investigator, found the first suspect, got the confession document, told the investigator to 'summon a guard'... told him AGAIN to 'summon a guard'... and again and again etc.

After 'bout 15 minutes of trying to get this guy arrested (the 2nd suspect had not spawned, so I suspect that one must do them in order) I gave up and let the investigator walk away (I assumed he went back to his tree). Just when my partner and I were about to GG out of there, I see the message that the first suspect was arrested. Too late for us: the investigator had de-spawned.

I petitioned and submitted a bug report. Hope others have better luck than I especially since it seems the Interrigator's Badge Quest is bugged too.

It just took me two whole days of trying, messing up some little thing, and then having to start all over...but I did it!! It is mine!!!!! Now, I would like to do the second part of the quest, but I heard that Markus and Morley have minions and they have a lot od HPs. Anyone know if harmony works on these guys? I sure hope so, because eventually, I want the researchers badge!!!!!! Wish me luck!

If this item follows a progression similar to the coldain ring and the prayer shawl quests, then the highest level versions of it will have some kind of neat effect. Personally, I would love a Qeynos Gate spell with unlimited charges.

The Investigators Badge (No. 1) can be continued like other items in the game. But there is a flaw to it, it is not yet active.
I asked a GM was the quest broken (only joking though), and got into a conversation. Lucky me i was able to make him come out with some info. He said 'The quest is still in progress, it can be led on to gain a better badge at higher levels. When continued the stats raise by 1 ever time completed until finished with higher stats then the last'.
I really hope he was not just pulling my leg, and somewhat lieing about it, i can't wait until you can follow on from No.1 to like No. 8 hehe, great stats then (AC 8, 8 STR, 8 WIS, 8 INT, 8 AGI, 40 HP, 40 Mana) that would so rule!

I meant inspectors badge to be another potential badge name, I got the investigator's badge last night, with no further quest given.

I meant the reward (inspectors badge) is pretty lame. The quest itself is cool. And as long as the quest builds like the shawl quest (sans pottery and cooking class) it will be a blast to see it through. a 10 str, 10 int, 10 wis, 50 hp, 50 mana, etc. neck piece would be the envy of all.

p.s. Who would have thought an Erudite wizard of Solusek Ro would be so loved by the human guards of Antonica?

I consider this a continuation of the corrupt guards quest with the captain at the NK stone bridge. I am KOS to the evil guards in Qeynos due to bringing the corrupt Karanan tower guards to justice.

Good thing the level 60 guard officer in NQ seems to be gone (or is in hiding) or I couldn't set foot in Qeynos. The rest of the KOS guards are green to me.

I completed this quest last night, and I am encouraged by the story that went with it. It is pretty lame at its current level, but with build-up quests like the shawl, it can get pretty cool pretty fast.

I too hope it will extend to ten quests, but I hope it doesn't require excessive use of trade skills like the shawl quest. At level 52, that is just boring to train trade skills. and if you ever failed at combining five crystaline threads, you know the pain of that 5% failure built into trades.

The starting MoB (someone asked) is above the Qeynos gates, in the western section up there. He definitely exists...

Hmmmm another series of quests like the shawl and ring in velious?
