Is the reward worth the quest?

Great a staff that creates lag, just what I wanted to be unleashed on my server :p

Apparently the reward is Staff of Endless Adventure

There was a shark always swimming around the Seafury Island in OOT. At least there was when I used to camp the AC and seafuries.

Are all quests the same, got bag, but no cheat/hint sheet?

I think I'll keep the bag for my bank slots :))

BTW: this anniversary thing is great for newbies too.

They get offered free food and drink, some ridiculously cheap stat drinks and a 10-slot bag that takes giant items (the weight of 10 wont really matter for toons who are still on cloth).

That spinning bottle is fun too and the doll and the coin will give them something to be puzzled about too - personally I hope these will be beneficially tradable to some NPCs later on ;-)

Level could be an issue with the quest. By far, the toughest areas are LGuk and MM, with MM being the harder of those two. The idea is that any mob that can drop the "normal" version of the item can (and often does) drop the "collectors" version. In LGuk, pretty much any undead frog can drop a tounge, so you could simply hunt near the zoneline for them and eventually get a drop. Of course, I had to wander nearly to the Frenzy camp to find a "live" undead frog due to the numbers of folks doing this, but I think I got the collector drop on the second or third kill (which is about typical for the drop rate on these IMO).

Similarly, in SolA, I had to wander all the way to the king spawn area (know it well from many many hours keeping clerics company there). Not because of drop rate, but because the mobs were pretty much all dead. I figured since I could safely go pretty much anywhere in these zones, it made more sense for me to relocate deeper in and leave the zone areas for lower level folks.


MM is by *far* going to be the hardest for most folks. One thing that a lot of people don't realize (but I do since I actually did the ro armor quests back when they were worth doing) is that the gargs outside the main house do *not* drop granite. Therefore, they don't drop the collectors version either. Inside the house is going to be tough for anyone under level 50 (and probably take a small group of 50s to do in reasonable saftey). I ran into a level 53 SK getting his butt kicked outside the house and grouped up with him to help him out. He would have never gotten anything but death without that help, honestly (might have, but it would have been *realy* hard). We ended up going all the way through to the maid and butler rooms before we found gargs that dropped any granite (which is right, the farther into the house, the higher the drop rate for granite IIRC). You wont make that trip, even with a group at any level under 40. However, once you're deep enough in, the drop rate is frequent enough, that someone higher level (like me), might very well just let you come along. Lots of people were kinda feeling the spirit of the party so to speak. I saw a lot of folks giving away stuff and helping eachother out. I like this kind of even just for that...


The reef shark was super easy. Take the translocator. Walk out into the water. Look around. I killed two reef sharks in about 1 minute after arriving, and the second one had the fang on it. It was just that easy. The sharks were also by far the lowest level mob that dropped an item (one hit to kill both times).


What I'm curious about is the reward. There seem to be three varients of the staff (nagafen, trakanon, and solusek(?)). Does anyone know if the fireworks are different from each one? Can you do the quest multiple times and get all three? Is there a point to doing that (yes, I know it's just fireworks, but that's actually kinda fun...).

Did the quest with 3 other members of my guild last night. We had great fun doing it ... especially zoning into the druid and wizard ports in tox not once but twice at night ... those skells don't stop!!! The staff is just a cute toy to cast fireworks but all in all a great time was had by all.

The Skeleton Commanders in Tox (we took out 3) twice dropped a nice ring and once an earring but I don't have the links for either sorry.

Lower Guk was a bit of a problem as we (a 46 wizard, 54 druid, 57 shammy (me) and a 65 SK) walked right into the Fabled .... the druid saw him first and he conned green ... before I knew what was going on she was down ... He conned green to me and was at 50% health ... now I have always paid more attention to AC as well as wisdom ... sic'd petpet on him .. started casting Bane of Nife ... 3 hits ... LOADING, PLEASE WAIT ... SK engaged when he saw what was going on ... before he knew what was what he was LOADING, PLEASE WAIT .. wizzy got outta the way ... rooted it and watched another group take him out. hehe

The Fabled mobs are not to be trifled with!

But back to topic ... do the quest with some friends for a nice break from the usual raid/grinding. Lots of laughs and some pretty sparklies!

I think that's part of the point -- to revisit old zones. Which makes the OoT one kind of weird to me. It's not like many people had mighty adventures in OoT so much as maybe they farmed sisters or seafuries. Befallen, Unrest or Najena would have made more sense. But whatever.

I got mine outside the house back by where the four wolves spawn (past the Dark Huntress). Two jeering gargoyles there and the second one dropped my granite. I killed two gargoyles in the canyons along the way without drops, but that doesn't mean much. I will say that a ranger in the guild griped that she had been camping the zone-in gargoyles for an hour with no drops and another person piped up that he walked into the house and it dropped on the spot.

hey yall that quest is awsome expetialy the equipment you get at the end foshizlle
