exploit? bug? as intended? 1.4 AA in 10 minFollow

1.4 aa in 10 min.

goto WC, once in WC goto the NE corrner of the zone (dark elf camp on map). you need at least 3 people in your group, any lvl as far as i know, all must have DoD.

hail kati (SP), then /say "happy" you will be givin a monster task. selcet a monster then say, /say "trinket".

you will be changed into a grifin and find yourself in EC. goto actions window and creat a tracking hotkey. press track, highlight a blank spot and press track. you now need to collect 10 "invis" eggs. you run over them and they disapear. if you see one while running to the one your tracking, thats fine, get it. once your party, or just you, has all 10 eggs. track the guard. kill him, can do this alone or with more, he is yellow, but would take 30 min to kill you (very over conned, he should be green). after guard is dead, track "merchant" kill her as well. once she is dead, track katie(sp) run to her and say /leave. DING

you all just got 1.4 aa. or 20% normal exp for a lvl 64. sick eh? and you can re do it every 30 min.

what my guild has been doing, is those that need to sleep, just stay logged on and in group, one "awake" person can do the task every 30 min.

i got 23 aa yesterday, 12 when i was awake, and 11 when i was sleeping. i am curently getting AA while i am at work.

is this working as intended? i don't know. but we are getting the most out of it!

so, re cap:

1. 3 peeps in group (or more!)
2. all must have DoD
3. collect 10 invis eggs
4. kill guard
5. kill merchant
6. find npc kati and say leave.

that all takes about 10-15 min solo, 5 min if 6 people hunting eggs.

result: 1.4 aa

don't know if this a bug, or what

I think this post would be better off being removed :( (people exploiting this could be messy)

It's not exactly an exploit. Some DoN missions were easier and faster than others ie: creator. This caused people to farm them for crystals (the reward). This is more of a reward/risk problem. If SOE thinks it's okay to keep the reward for what risk you take than it's not a problem. If SOE decides it's unbalanced they'll fix it accordingly (when they have time of course). An exploit is more of getting the reward without the risk using a bug or feature as it's not intended ie: duping etc.

Maybe they'll change it or maybe they won't. If this mission was bugged in a way that let you complete it faster or without risk than it's an exploit. You should be fine continuing this.

This is an awesome mission even if you have to actually go do it. Never got AA's while asleep darn it.

one month lockout?

May have to go solo that 3pct. "Buy the expansion if you want to see a group" business model 4tehwin!

some of you are confusing this with the lock-out bug. that wasn't this. the lock-out bug is when someone ld when zono9ng out of a DoN task upon completion, they get locked out for 53 days. that isn't what this thread was about,

this was about the 1.4 aa in 10 min, every 30 min.

point is mute, they just despawned her.

Good!!! sad that it lasted a week to be honest

Yesterday it was 140 people in wc rofl.

imo /rollback! /nerf! :P

There is a 45 min lockout tho so its not really uber uber.. Get more xp in PoFire for a longer peridod then doing this over and over.

Good Point Lord Xythex,

I got so excited yesterday reading the experience point bonus that I was going to go out and get the expansion. However, I ran out of time and didn't stop by the local EBgames or attempt to download the expansion from SOE.

My main toon is only 51. This is after 3 years of gaming. I only have a few hours a week to play. I probably have only used expansion material up to LDON.

Have they nerfed the bonus yet or are there any plans in the near future?

Would you say that a soloing naked lvl 60 toon could get 8 AA in MPG or anywhere else for that matter in 2 hours?

I do not know first hand about this experience while afk thing. I am a little skeptical. If it is true, it would be true for all tasks, that you could get exp without entering the mission. That does not seem right and that should be stopped, but this does not mean that there is anything wrong with having one easier mission mixed in with the moderate ones.

I did 3 missions last night, two orc missions and one naggy and I got 4aa's. The two orc missions went quick, like mabey 20 mins and the naggy one took a little longer.
