Bilgewater Bill (TBS easy task)

[Maxixero]

In the Buried Sea there is an npc named Bilgewater Bill. He offers two tasks the one your wanting to choose is "The Meek Shall What?" In this task, your required to take four buckets of slop and dump them into the ocean. The way this is easy is that you can get all four buckets at the same time, by getting the task 4 times, and dropping it 3 times. When you have all 4 buckets you will head to the southern part of the island, Uninvis. The easist route to take will be located on the map below. Also, this will require a fast horse.

The black line notates the path I took that I found was easiest to perform the task with no agro, while being uninvised.

When you are dumping your slop, you will encounter two messages.

which notates a successful dump with no agro, or

Which means you dumped the slop, but you attracted "A Scavaging Coralisk," this mob is a yellow con, and not to horrible to solo, but you don't need to. In my map above you will see a red line. If you have all four buckets to complete the task, you can run the red line, and wait for your agro to clear.

When you are finished dumping your four buckets, run back to Bilgewater Bill and Select Option 3, for Faction. This will reward you with Faction, 20% AA exp at lvl 75 and 75pp a trip. I was making the runs in less then 5 minutes, a bard friend was making 3 runs in 3 minutes 45 seconds with fade to lose the agro.

You can not dump slop while you have agro. Enjoy!

This seems WAY to easy. I suspect it will be nerfed ASAP. I can't wait to try it until then though :-D

 

[Maxixero]

I did it all day yesterday, and after the emergency patch. I suspect we're getting 20% aa atm because of the 50% exp, but abuse it til after tuesday

 

[3djoker]

if you use LotD you only get 10% upon completion. don't burn a LotD to see if ya get extra.

don't say i didnt warn you if you think im lieing.

not sure why it drops it to 10% but it does.

 

[zippy42167]

Every TBS quest reward lowers as the specific quest becomes more commonly done. For example, when a quest is first done, it might give 50 orux + faction. As it is more commonly done on your server, from farmers/etc, it starts to only give 45 orux + less faction.

I know of some servers who have nearly destroyed the pool, and missions that gave 50orux + faction are now only giving 20 orux.

 

[3djoker]

no no, when lotd is off it stay 20% aa per completion. just when i tried to see if lotd would increase it to 40, it dropped it to 10. drop lotd and it went back to 20.

 

[Maxixero]

sorry Joker.. I tried that out yesterday, but forgot to post it.

 

[3djoker]

redcent sent. well deserved. a lil slow but worth the cent!!!!

and np max, even though it didnt work and waisted a lord, waiting for a group and doing this is worth the try.

 

[Druid]

Apparantly there's a level min... Didn't work on my 52 nec

 

[Roguish]

I am not playing EQ at the moment but it seems like this could be made even easier with a well engineered system of exploits and possible macroed like hell. Question is how exactly do you dump the slop? Does it just give a task update when you stand in the correct spot or do you need to click something, give to a npc or what?

You leave the buckets on your cursor when you get them then just go to the right area on the coast and wait a second till you start seeing the yellow text. just a task update. I got railed when I first tried this because I put all the buckets in my bags and didn't have a clue what I was doing LOL. When I started pulling them out one by one my EQ froze and I came back dead.

Don't have to have them on your cursor. Once I started doing this with all four buckets, I left them in the bags and got updates.

Wrote a macro to do this, it currently can only be run 5 times, then it ends. If anyone can figure out a way for the macro to chose an option, and Accept it then i can make it run longer.

To start this Stand near bilgewater bill., Then just run the mac. It requires some form of warp.

|Bilgewater.mac v1.0
|Written by WickedMetalHead
|To run this macro stand infront of Bilgewater Bill. You are also required to have 4 Empty inventory
|slot. Currently this macro will run 5 time then end. This is due to problems having the macro select
|a reward for you.

Oh, you don't need to /warp.

It's only a small distance.

you DO have to deal with the aggro, tho... FD or Fade if you're the right class

 

[WickedMetalHead]

I'm aware you don't need to warp. But it's faster to warp, and i wanted it to do it as fast as possible.

 

[Nightmare327]

This was working still as of last week, but I plan on checking it to see if it still works after today's patch. One thing I wanted to add, is that you can get more than 4 of the buckets at a time. A friend was getting like 40 at a time, then just running back and forth, dumping, and getting updates, then running back to get reward. He was a fd class, so he would just fd off agro if it occurred. I am in the middle of rewriting the above macro for my use to not use warp (I like to play it pretty safe), and I'll post it when ready. You still have to get the reward every 4 dumps. but it was a little faster. They were getting about an AA an hour or so doing it, plus plat and faction I guess.

 

[shadowman33]

non warp is so easy for some classes....

bind at bill
get bucket, cast egress or succor. The succor spot is right next to where you dump. Dump the slop, cast gate...your now back at bill. Rinse, repeat.

Takes me under 3 minutes to do each run for xp.

 

[Wildanimus]

Idiots! Warping through this zone ATM will be so insanely stupid, how can you even suggest such a thing? It's a new expansion, so how do you think people aren't going to be running through here on a regular basis?! :0

 

[thenameless]

i was wondering if anyone modified the macro to like gate and fd instead of warping. ill give it a try myself since i have a necro. does anyone know what level you have to be to get this task?

 

[zxcvbb]

WickedMetalHead where you asking why th mac ends after 5 ?


If so

	/if (${TotalRun} >= 5) {

change the 5 to another number to make the mac last longer ie. 10 or 20

 

[Wizman]

getting 20% AA at lvl 71.5 Necros dream AA farm. little boring after awhile tho lol

 

[Druid]

NERFED !!

Now have to kill at least 1 coralisk (and other stuff?)

So, now it is a TOUGH solo

 

[Dranikos]

Confirmed NERFED. Need to kill 1 Scavenging Coralisk before you can finish.

 

[megamage]

how easy is the Coralisk to a 75 nec ?

 

[Druid]

Was yellow to be at lev. 75

Didn't try to fight him, or kite him. /eh ... not enuf "profit" in this mission anymore

Just add it to the 100,001 other missions that sit idle, unused.

Not quite unused, its one of the many quests for Jonas Dagmire Hand Aug pieces.

I know, right? Damn Sony and it's nerf-bat! I miss the library heist :-(

 

[Wafer]

This has been nerfed even further with today's patch:

- The Bucket of Slop used in the Meek Shall What? task is now Lore.

 

[Sparrowtalon]

Nerfed to some extent as of 5/16/07

the buckets of slop are now lore, so you will have to run back and forth to get it done. will take significantly more time, but still not a bad way to get some exp while /lfg
