Blackscale Kaladim Quest

The quest that I am having the issue with is the Gathering Information quest. Now the problem is that I've been doing the quests and adding information to the wiki (Most of the information on the quest is from me) as I go. But for the life of me I cannot find the Silver Crown Caravan Scheduling. Obviously it would be assinine to ask where it spawns, and it is such a small thing to remember that any players I've already asked can't remember where it came from.

My suggestion is this; Can we have the spawn times of these dropped to a more reasonable time frame? I have timed the drops over the course of a week and every night they appear spawn at the 24 hour point. I believe this is just a bit too long for an item that potentially gets picked up by several Blackscale questers on a daily basis and also by random travelers by that can't even use the item. So questers like me that happen to show up 12 hours after someone else is out of luck. Thanks.
 
I also couldn't find it and I've been running around the whole zone like a madman for 3 or 4 days now. Neither could another guildie, but she managed to obtain the final augment without having done this part.
 
Spawn time should be 16h +3/-3 hours, so people can't pop in and farm them. Not to mention that 24h respawn time is just insane.
 
I have been working on this quest since it came out. I have checked GSM compulsively every time I have a free moment, ask my guild. The number of times I have run out of Athica sayings "Sec, wanna check GSM before I get into a group" are endless. I still have not found a single named document besides the Stock Sheet. As of this moment I no longer need to check anymore as the artifacts filled in enough faction for me to get Warleader without the documents, but I have to agree completely with Xach. Finding these documents is already insanely difficult without compounding it with a very, very long respawn timer.
 
You guys are missing something.

I would suggest asking around to people who have done it.
 
Wald, I know exactly where they spawn. I asked a guildie who did find them after a month or so of looking. Despite knowing EXACTLY where he got them, I have yet to find one.

Edit - I AM of the suspicion that several documents have a random chance to be either a named or miscellaneous document since the Stock Sheet in the bucket near GSM seems to randomly turn into a non-named document.
 
All the people I have asked either got it by dumb luck or just don't remember.

And the quest giver won't repeat the quest information and the journal just states what items to get.
 
Unless it's not a ground spawn, 24h respawn is still insane. I've got 2 of the 3 named documents and have parked a toon where the 3rd one is supposed to be (and I've got some information from someone who got the 3rd document). I haven't seen ANY documents in the last 6 days !
 
I didn't think it was too hard, and I did it in the first week where everyone was ZERG OMG NEED TO DO QUEST AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. It takes some time, I doubt it was intended to collect all in 15 mins and then be done. If you can't complete it, go work on something else... hell you may finish everything else before you get it done and get the aug without that sub-quest. Try to do it first thing when you log on or last thing when you log off at night to minimize the other people looking for the piece(s).
 
Okay... I took your advice and tried reading the whole thing over again.

Quest NPC only says "Have you brought me the information you were tasked with?"

She is not interested in the two documents I have without the third one.

No Blackscale npcs respond to hails besides the other quest npcs, which obviously don't mention documents.

The documents I have are unreadable.

Journal entry says "You have beent aksed to find offical documents of the Silver Crown. Find a Caravan Schduling, Stock Sheet and Transaction Ledger and bring them back to Shorssi together."

So, unless you're referring to the original quest text, which I have no way of seeing again then I am out of ideas.
 
OK for the smart folks saying people should learn2read, I kinda remember a part of the text which is just blatantly MISLEADING. Which is prolly why people are stuck with about a little more than a dozen ground spawn locations only. I admit I had some info leaked and it's the original text , that I can't quote anymore, that should be looked at.
And yeah apparently most of the people get stuck on one of the named documents. Nice bottleneck I admit, made me pick up a shitton of documents in GSM while I didn't need any (be it stock, ledger or regular doc). Nice spirit you would say, but that's the way it's made. Hate to have 2 no drop- rather rare-stuff in inventory on two characters and a fucking unfinished quest in journal.
I suggest making all groundspawns VERY LOW random named doc chance (I dont know, 0.5%) to have a fair shot at the third one.
Tbh I think most of the quests and the whole coherence of the blackscale quests is awesome, Wold you made a very nice job here (even made a NEC spell I otherwise never use :D ) but this single bottleneck bothers me hard.

So from my perspective , with Finny it's 2 folks that found the last one. Curious about others.
 
I'd still like to see a different respawn time so it's not always the same people who ninja the documents as soon as they spawn.
 
Looked into this for you guys.


As of right now there are about 60% of all the document locations up. 10 named documents consisting of all three types are included in that figure.


It looks about where I wanted it to be. I am just surprised the locations of them all were not put on the wiki before hand.
 
As it is, I am the sole contributor of locations on the wiki. And I still haven't listed all the ones I have found.

If there is some super secret text from the original quest can we somehow get access to that again? Be it journal, or allowing the quest npc to repeat old information over again please?

I realize I can just skip this quest, which I pretty much have so far. But from a roleplay perspective I don't want there to be a quest hanging around that I just can't complete for reasons beyond my control.

Edit: Just ran through and checked all the outposts, docks, and tents. 2 Duplicate Lore Items deleted and 6 random documents that I can no longer turn in. :mad:
 
This isn't as bad as the SC beak gather extravaganza but it sounds like people need to keep looking.
 
It's a little disheartening to have spent 2-3 months looking for something more or less every day and never find it, then get told to keep looking.

Maybe we are all missing something, but if we are then doing what we've been doing for months isn't going to make it suddenly come to us in a flash of insight. I don't have to complete this quest. I have my Warleader mark. But you know, I'm very loyal to my faction. Any way I can help get rid of those SC bastards is good for me, even if I don't get any benefit out of it anymore. Besides, I hate only partially completing quests.

My feelings exactly. I fought with myself for a few weeks even thinking about making the thread, cause I assumed for a long time it was just me screwing it up.
