For the 12 year anniversary event, he now replies to a lvl 90 characters:
You say, 'Hail, Norten Magmaflinger'
Northen Magmaflinger says 'You appear quite skilled. I'm sure that one of my fellow apprentices could use your assistance with a more difficult task than mine.'
Assuming: A.) You can not get this task at lvl 90. B.) There is a lvl 90 NPC somewhere but we don't know where yet? C.) There is no lvl 90 NPC because it was forgotten or no intention.
Anyone have any ifno?
