All other Shaletooth Tower quests - working

For the record, "Set the Example" one of the earlier quests needs some polish. I realize that it's not confusing if you read the quest text, but I feel like that there needs to be some kind of response to let the player know that the Objective name matches the objective task. Right now it says to "Inspire Trainees" or osmething to that effect. But what you're supposed to do is kill Gwartek Hillscourers. I feel like on the death of the Gwartek guys, a Trainee should show up and start beating the hell out of some of the others, or cheer you on or something.

Plus there's a trainee on the hill that doesn't respond at all if you hail them. That should probably have hail text like "I'm just not sure of what I should be doing. Perhaps you can show me?"

Set The Example - trainees at the barricade now respond with text indicating the goal when they are hailed and cheer when you kill the hillscourers

[Starcrusher]

Set the Example - trainees at the barricade have been enhanced and now are so inspired they run out and kill the nearby Gwartak Hillscourers.

I have gone through most of BC and overall all the quests that I tried, worked. If there is supposed to be a drop from a mob as part of the quest, I would get the drop. I did not always get the drop every time, but I would would say it was most of the time.

I did have trouble in the Gwartak caves for these quests: Freedom 3815 and Flames of the Past Part 3 9103. I was killing the named Slaver out side the slave pen with the dwarf and he never dropped a key so that I can free the slave. I defeated the Slaver about 6 times.

The cave is also very difficult for a paladin solo. I believe I have decent equipment (only my helm and pauldrons are 'of the Hero'), but the combats take so long and I take so much damage that I am not able to recover fast enough to get past the guards before they start re-spawning again. Anything that is my level takes me to 1/2 health.

Is there a combat log parser? I was looking at the combat as it scrolled by and the mob rarely misses me, but my special attacks miss or are blocked about half the time. I imagine if I had a crafted weapon and more dps, that would not be an issue. I just hit level 8 and I plan to head back to the cave to see if I have better luck with some more special attacks.

Also, are the any plans to have maps of the local areas? So it you are in a city or cave, you can see the layout of were you are and if you have 'fog of war', you can know where you have not been.

Not sure why you had issues getting a key. I tried it solo and in group; both worked. I was able to complete both quests. Combat is not tweaked yet, so you may have to use .aggro off to test some quests. Let me know if you still have an issue getting a key.

[Arkat_DOO]

I turned off aggro and I explored the entire complex.

Freedom 3815 - I am still not getting the key from the named Slaver. I defeated him about 10 times now and I have not got the key once.

Flames of the Past Part 3 - I was able to get the essence in a drop, but the quest never picks up that I have entered the summoning area. I am assuming that where I need to go is up the ramp into that large cavern. Since you cannot select that objective in the quest menu, the compass cannot show the direction you need to go to find the summoning area.

I will also add that getting equipment from the 'auction house' made combat much easier.I also still have the bug from the timed diplomacy quest (Veskal's Present). I had to drop a quest before I could pick up a new one. That new quest was in white letters until I exited the game and came back. It is now in blue text like all of my other quests.

HI arkat

to get the objective met for flame of past part 3 summoning area, You must turn right up a ramp as you enter the dungeon. then head into a tunnel going down into a room which triggers the objective met. at least for me it did.

[Arkat_DOO]

I was able to find and complete both quests, so thank you very much for the information. I do wish that when you entered a city or complex that the small map in the corner would switch to a local view so that you could find your way in places like that.

The timer quest bug is still going strong. I turned in or dropped all of my current quests and picked up a new set. Again after quitting the game and coming back in, the text switched from white to blue. On top of that, Flames of the Past Part 4 expired (as in the 'timer' expired) and was removed from the list. I had completed the quest and was heading back to turn it in when it expired. I just logged out and back in and the text went from white to blue again.

Also Remove the Head and the Body Dies 3818 and Spirit Summoner Charms 3821 had the same leg armor reward. Thing is that I got that same leg armor much earlier, so there are three quests with the same reward. I believe I have not seen a replacement helm and pauldrons as quest rewards.

Do not know if this is a bug, but Champions Might I does not work and apply the timed buff when you press a hotkey to use it. If you click on the hotkey, the timed buff is applied and displayed.

The key drops from any Gwartak slaver except the named one atm.
