Nasty part of quest should be looked at

The enchanter starfall quest for the bracer of conservation is working well except for one step. The embalming fluid drops in oasis from a named mummy who spawns at the NW corner once a day at 7pm. The text tells you that it comes from greater mummies in the waste of tarhyl. here are my gripes:

A) Targyl to me meant either north or south tarhyl....I never thought of oasis. A friend had to cue me in about having seen the drop there.
B) Even if you had found out that the named mummy that spawns once a day was what you needed, camping it is impossible, and because of its easy level and the value of its head for faction, it is almost never up.
C) IT HAS A PH! If you do manage to find the spawn up you have a very good chance of simply finding a 5th mummy standing there. THIS IS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING!!!
D) The info on the time of spawn for this mummy is obtained from Dawnlord when Kindly faction is reached. It is ridiculous to force young enchanters to work on orc faction to find out about this guy..AND THEN HAVE TO CAMP IT.


In fairness I think greater mummies should have a chance to spawn at that same monument of mummies in oasis in the regular mummy spawns. That would make them campable. They could be a lvl or two higher than the regular mummies, and have a chance of dropping the fluid. This would be more in line with the quest text. It could also be updated in the quest text itself (in starfall).

As I have semi-decent wrist items myself this isn't a plea for myself. It is however something that would be nice for any enchanters who could really use an item like this.

Thanks.
 
I'll look at this. It is an unreasonable camp for the level of the quest, agreed.
 
Thanks Wiz, appreciated.

Just to clarify though...I will finish this even if I dont need it ...I 'love' quests. gimmegimmegimmegimme!

P.S. that means, go go quest designers!
 
and that also means that for all the incredulous amounts of time I have been at those stupid mummy ruins you should magicaly pop in. blast off no less than 10 fireworks in my honor. Give me 3 or 4 sprinkled sugar cookies AND give me the embalming fluid :p

/salmon off


but it would be sweet ;)
 
lol me and Wpus have been doing this camp on and off too, I've seen three placeholders so far, for a day spawn it was so evil lol ;(
 
I was actually going to compare it with other classes starfall rewards, but then I felt lazy, so anyone that cares can just look at them theirself.
 
Hell I would have taken mana cons on my sk's bp over the clinging darkness proc :-/

Mana cons 3 is pretty nice for that level I think.
 
Bump! After quite a while over here, I've seen a 5th mummy spawn twice and no special one. I massacred the other mummies for shits and grins and didn't see anything for a starfall quest.

Did the drop get moved to a different camp entirely, or what's the news on this quest? Any comments from chanters who've done it after the change?
 
AFAIK this quest is unchanged. My best sugestion to fellow enchanters would be to bind at the mummy spire. Exp and every day gate over and pray for a spawn. I had to kill many regular mummies here before the named spawned himself. However, being bound at the spire saved me a HUGE amount of time.
 
Okey my enchater is stuck on this one also, I aksed in the server using /ooc and got replies from most enchanters to give up on it. So far i done the following starfal quests: pal (1), dru (2), mag (2), Ench (1), SK (2), Wiz (2), clr (1) what i'm trying to say with this is that I'm not a newb at starfall quest as you can see i done alot of them because they are ALOT of FUN and the reward is VERY good for the lvl. The enchanter quest however is not fun(at least this part is not) and reward thou is nice i suggest those struggling to get mana conservation in the lvl 30ish to get this item from a same lvl mob:

Royal Crown
MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM
Slot: HEAD
AC: 4
Focus Effect: Mana Conservation II
STR: 2
DEX: 2
STA: 2
AGI: 2
CHA: 2
WIS: 2
INT: 2
SV Fire: 1
SV Cold: 1
SV Magic: 1
SV Poison: 1
Mana: 25
HP: 25
Weight: 1.2
Size: Small
Class: ALL
Race: ALL

as to compared to this:

Slot: WRIST
AC: 3
Focus Effect: Mana Conservation III
DEX: 2
AGI: 2
Mana: 20
HP: 20
Weight: 0.2
Size: Small
Class: ENC
Race: ALL

I can box at 35 the mob that drops it an get exp and other loots while i wait for it to drop, sure mana conserv 3>2, but with the crown you are also getting int+cha, 5 more mana/hp as well as saves. i get about 2 crowns in a day as to compared as hopping for a mummy that may not spawn in days. You can also buy the crown for like 200pp I seen alot of people selling it.

*don't post in this topic asking where the crown drops, get off your lazy butt and do some research or exploration, there is an item database website, go find it!*
 
Mana Cons 3 > 2

head slot has better stats than wrist slot.

This is not science.
 
The point is that the rareness/timer of this mob is ridiculous, and offered a suggestion alternative item. and hell yeah i want this for my chanter.
