I gotta say, after spending about 80 hours camping the Raster in Lower Guk, I'm sick and tired of stupid timesinks for quests in EQ. Been spending about 7 hours in the Crusader room for this guy for my Shackle of Steel, and I'm getting right ticked off.
But I guess EQ knows that if they put in long camps, people will camp them, and thus pay more for playing their game a longer amount of time /sigh
And as I type this, the penkeeper spawns lol. Dropped a FS sword and the key.
