HHK monster missionFollow
I'm alway reading about "the" HHK mm, but in fact there are two monster missions in Highpass Hold, "Pickclaw's Revenge" and "Storming the Keep". Which is the one everybody's talking about, the one that gives the most experience?
Pickclaws, the one give by an NPC named Creq, right up the hill straight outside of the hall entrance to the Keep.
Thats correct, the other is the guard off to the left comming out of the keep. In this one, you are goblins and have to kill gaurds. You have to loot 5 keys to free goblin prisoners. This one is also bugged quite a bit. It offers the same exp, but takes much longer to complete. Kill 20 guards, loot 5 keys, free prisoners. I have been through 5 total and the last 2 we never finished after killing in upwards of 30 guards and only looting 1 key. Needless to say, I haven't done that one since.
Just a side note here, they do plan on Nerfing the MM's exp to be more in line with the time it takes to complete. So, HHK will probably not be as popular as it currently is after the patch on the 20th of Feb.

Actually they are nerfing the HHK MM to be more difficult and keeping the exp reward the same, or at least I hope they do beause now on the beta srver its at least a hour long MM.More like 1 1/2 hours to be more accurate.
What they did is tune the hand to hand combat to be at 7 instead of maxxed, so your gonna be whacking the gobs with your FS sword.
Also they added a 5 death limit.
And the prisoners you hail now start assisting you to kill the gobbies, so obviously you have to have the room cleared in order to hail the prisoners so they run out.So no more death run at the end to tag the last 2 prisoners.
Also it is now impossible to do all of this before gobbies start respawning, so your killing stuff on yoru way down from the 3rd floor also.
So to recap no more hand to hand...
5 death limit
hailed prisoners start assisiting to kill gobbies
But this is on the beta server so it still might change, but as of now put this MM in your EQ content which will never be done again folder.
Also they said they are adjusting the exp to be more in line of how difficult the mms are. So some will get exp boost while others will get nerfs. They never said that all MMs exp will be nerfed. You just assumed that by reading the upcoming patch motes.

The only way to cut the time, thinking about this more now, is to clear to the basement stairs, and maybe attempt to do a suicide run hailing the dude in the basement.
Then just get the rest of your 40 gobs at the top where you need to free your prisoners.
This might save 30 min or so and it might be doable in 45 or so.

Hmmm...I could see them 'nerfing' the capt too...you'll have to bandage him up to 70% (or whatever) and escort him out as well as the prisoners...
Wouldn't it be easier just to delete the mission? Same effect.
