OK before this gets nerfed lemme tell you all about it, this is a mission in Arcstone that u gotta open eggs to get the real egg out. The cool part is, all you gotta do is nuke the egg, so just target it normally (its on the floor in the center of the room you need to enter) nuke it and it will either give you the egg or pop an add, the best thing though is that the add wont aggro you from max range of whatever spell you are casting or bow you are shooting, keep targeting the egg and nuking till u get update, Zone out and return the egg to Ao and get your chest to pop. This is just as good as sabotage loot including a 21/21 1hand blunt weapon for melee. Oh if using a compile u can just /tar npc 50 and you will get a target for something that has no name, thats the egg sack. Have fun with this and get it before they figure it out. This is the Obulette mission btw i shoulda said that, its the second mission he gives out.
 
you have to do the 1st mission, or is it like tasks where you just hail till you get what you want?
 
oh and it gives xp....is this redoable so I could do xp this way? and is the xp any good?
 
Yeah, was beat to two of my questions. Is the quest repeatable, and is there a pre requisite for it as well, and if you would what are the stats on the hammer? Thanks.
 
This is a direct paste from Alla. Other posts say a full group of 70s is liable to wipe multiple times on the first mission. Doesn't sound promising, since my guild doesn't even HAVE a full group worth of 70s and the one's we have are not super equipped. As a mission "Arc" it sounds like you only get this once. Now how the heck am I going to accomplish the first mission?
:(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mission 1: "The Library"
run through the portal, hop down tot he bottom, and talk to Student Joban.

The key text for the mission update is "both halves"

Evac and prepare to really start the mission.

Clear to the right platform and kill named. Every 10% one of the books comes alive. Loot the symbol.

Clear to the left platerform from port in. kill named. This one knockbacks! (no lev in zone and it's a pretty nasty drop). loot symbol.

Clear to the back platform and turn the 2 symbols in to get the tome.

Turn the tome in to Ao the fourth and a chest will pop and you will recieve a character flag.

------------------------------------------------
Mission 2: "The Oubliette"

Run around, kill mobs break eggs.

Really it is that trivial.

the stonemites have almost no life. our tank pulled out a 2hs and disc'd them on each pull killing almost all of them instantly.

Kill one egg at a time as failures pop a mob. Eventually whoever is killing the eggs will break the right one and get an item given to them (inventory or mouse I don't remember)

turn in egg to Ao the 4th recieve character flag and a chest
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 3: "The laboratory"

I really wish there were more of these missions.. it was a blast... took us hours to figure out.


Bring a rougue or a monk I don't know if they see sos, but you'll want something.

the person who gets this quest is given an egg!
go to Skylance, head into the lab. go to the center table and place the egg on cursor and hit "U" (same as 7th hammer key)
This will pop an egg onto the table. Now you have 3 mobs pop and you get an emote in red text.

Every time you successfully answer the emote's directions, another lab attendant will spawn. These mobs are kos and wander the upper area where the equipment controls are.

Every time you fail, a zombie mob pops out of the egg and attacks. Also if you fail, you have to start from the begining.

There are 8 emotes and all 8 need to be done correctly and in order.... IE the emotes are given randomly, but all 8 will be given to you and you must complete all 8 with no failures.

once the 8th emote is handled, a named will pop. redcon to 70, about 1.5-2k hitter.. like all the others that look like him was weak to nukes/dots. beat him down and win!

His loot for us was an aug:
Slot 7/8
Any location
10 AC
60 HP 60 MANA 60 ENDURANCE

I hear he drops a bow and a cloak aswell
 
unless we can get /donmission to work on these and find the number of the 2nd task:)
 
sorry didnt review my post, U have to do first mission yes or get someone to get the second mission for you and yes you can redo it, the second mission is hard if you actually try to do it, however if you do it the way i told ya you can breeze right through it. Just get a nuker and target the eggs stay clear of the pathing mob, just switch sides when he comes.
 
Of course its not a DoN mission, but I dont see why the same principle behind Tone's DoN mission plugin wouldn't work here. They seem same format.
 
Kurkey, do you know if there is a way, without warping if possible, to get all the eggs in the instance? Just being able to kill those first two little rooms sucks.

I've tried using Invis and Invis vs Undead to get around both neither work. I have yet to try it with a rogue though so that might work.

What is the # for this mission? Can it be done bypassing first one? Using one of the plugins maybe?

No need for warping or invising for this one, just go thru the portal and stay in that first room, get just close enough to where you can target the eggs but back enough so you dont agro the pathing discarded soul or the eye thingie(just wait till they path away) and start nuking em till you get your egg, if you nuke em all and dont get your egg the first time from either room just wait till they respawn and try again till you get it =)

I beat this mission by fighting all the eggs and the spawns that came after them if you broke the wrong egg. I'm not trying to win again. If you notice, there is exp given for each egg. If you could get them all, you'd prob have a good way to level evolving items, or depend on how much exp is given, leader points or whatever else. I can't tell how much exp is given 'cause I've been maxxed since about December.

What is respawn time on the eggs?

Nevermind, this one was easy.

Blah, done it 3 times in a row , takes less than 5 minutes because i have been lucky with the eggs dropping the item you turn in. however, got the mask everytime. :(

Yes it's exactly the same packet. Just wrote a quick mission grabber for this one.. will post some mission #s shortly.
 
Are you going to be posting a dll or just tease us with the numbers? I wouldn't blame you if you didn't having seen the way the other two whom posted similar plugins were treated. If you do decide to post a dll I would encourage you to follow the example of odessa and tone and not post the source.
 
It's for that very reason I'm not posting it. Odessa has taken task/mission off the public market, and out of respect for Odessa in particular, I'm not posting any dlls etc.. I only posted the mission IDs because at the time I thought tdon still worked.. guess it doesn't anymore.
 
Such is life. Guess i'm just going to have to get off my lazy ass and see if it is within my ability to work out how you guys are recording/repeating outgoing mission packets. Those two plugins made me lazy. Running all over Dodh to get missions cuts into my completion time.

It's always a few who ruin it for the many. I undrstand why you are holding back Cobalt, but dang, I sure wish ya weren't. I didn't start usin MQ until very recently, and it made my head swim when I was workin on just tryin to compile the thing. Was happy as could be when I found the pre-compiled downloads here.
 
Now it has been nerfed.
Was a 5 minute solo pre-patch.
The mobs now assist/protect/agro the eggs you nuke.
Can be doable solo still, but you'd have to zone out and would take about an hour with deaths still likely. PITA
 
What about Nuking the egg, followed by a quick /fade, rinse and repeat? Would that work? If so, could farm this mission by getting mission via mq2tdon
/don mission 5248
 
/fade results in death more often then not, your best chance is nuke, then /succor rinse repeat. I have done that twice so far just started last night and I rarely die unless lag spike. Also no one else can be in the zone along with you or else the monster will come out and kill them and when you land back at ent from succor they will be waiting to give you a nice hug.
 
do you mean /warp succor? Because that alone does not clear aggro. to clear aggro i always have to /fade afterward. Or am i missing something.. will try /succor alone.
 
nope, I always just hit /succor and it works just like if a druid or wizard were to do it for me. I also believe it is counted as a /zone kind of thing and I may be wrong but they don't check those that I have heard of only warps.
 
3/28 I did this mission 9 times. You can hit the eggs without getting aggro. However, as soon as they die anything in the room will aggro on you. The mobs you aggro will instantly warp anywhere you or your group goes. The Eggs have around 1200 HP. In each instance I had to kill approximately 15 eggs to get the final piece. The 3 items mentioned earlier in this forum are correct. Got 5 masks, 3 cloaks, and 1 mace. Unfortunately I died a lot. Being a monk with super uber nukes I was having problems finding the best way to kill the eggs without getting wtfpwned as soon as i killed the eggs in the room. The adds quad for around 1500dmg and a new one spawns with each egg you kill. They do not despawn. What I ended up doing was running as close as possible to the eggs without getting aggro and using my shrukins to kill them. As soon as the add spawned and aggros to you. FD and wait for it to clear aggro... Rinse and repeat. Now this may sound easy ... but trust me there is a very fine line between can't see target and in aggro range. This task can be soloed as a monk but if I were to do it again I would suggest a class with an ae dd that does at least 1200dmg so you can kill all the eggs in one swipe and then zone off the aggro. Just don't hit any of the little crawler guys because they DO summon. IMHO the mace is the only thing worth trying for because the cloak and veil really are not all that good. Once you get the final piece you turn it back into AO in Arcstone. He spawns a chest with your reward. You MUST have this task to loot the chest, also once you start the mission and go through the 2nd portal no new members may be added to the shared task. This mission was a lot of fun mainly because of the difficulty to solo. Even if you don't need the loot I suggest you try it at least once.
 
Have done this mission about 20 Times with my Druid. What Smoek says is correct, there is a fine line where you can stand and cast your lvl 68 DoT and it won't aggro the mobs, but if you cross it and get too close, the entire room runs after you and fast. Once the egg dies, the entire room will aggro. So it's best to DoT the egg, move back a bit, wait to see if you get another egg on your cursor, and if you don't get it, Egress right away. Since I've put 18AA in my class Rapid Evac AA, my Egress takes on 2.5s to cast so I've done this mission legit. Now if you don't have that skill, you can try /succor and it will work as well.

That being said, The useless Mask has been the loot 12 Times, The Cloak 7 Times, and the 21/21 Hammer Once. I'm trying to get the Hammer for my Meelee toons, and it's just too damn rare. Mission usually takes about 30 min to Solo. Have the other toons wait outside as run this mission.
 
I'd say the Oubliette mission is nerfed now? Anyone succeed at it after this last patch? The eggs regen really fast, and soon as you kill one now, even if you /succor, some of the mobs can even chase you to succor point, aggro never seems to clear. Even after you zone, /fade, /succor, whatever. Then when you go back, room aggros big time even if you are far away and havent done anything yet. Seem now like they want you to kill all mobs before you touch an egg. Anyone have any tips on this?
 
Sorry for bumping a 4 month old thread, but I'm wondering if anyone has seen or found any new developments with these skylance missions, specifically the 2nd one? A couple of weeks ago I tried to solo this mission, but no matter how I played with it, I couldn't get any of the eggs down. I want to do it with a 75 bard.

Any tips or recent plugins floating around that I'm overlooking? The regen on the eggs is so fast that you can't dot them, and I tried the new TSS ae song (1258 targeted ae), and that just pissed off the little stonemite type guys. I even went as far as to throw on full dots, his deftdance, and rush an egg to melee down. I didn't even get it all the way dead like that.

Any strats I haven't thought of?
 
A bard won't be able to solo it. Eggs have about 8k hp and very high regen.

Wizard with Ether flame and crit AAs is pretty much required. I used a wizard and a druid. Just get the timing on evac right and have the wizard nuke. What you want is as soon as the nuke hits the evac hits.
 
Not true ... a bard could definately solo this.

The eggs can be /open ed. The catch is that they're locked. so now i figure ONLY a bard could do this. Pick the egg, open then fade if a mob pops .... rinse repeate for all the eggs untill you get the right one. I've done it quite a few times .... problem used to be that it took forever to regen from fading 6 or so times... but not any more ...TY sony for OoC regen.

I'm not sure if this is worthy info for a freebie of any sort. But I'll plug myself just in case.
 
ohhhhhh reeeeeeeeeeeaally?

you can /open from a distance using MQ2Pax... so obviously my next question is...

... is there a utility/plugin out there that legs you pick locks from a distance too? Considering some of the plugins floating around here, one that picks locks from a distance doesn't seem too far-fetched.

I'll have to see if you can pick locks while DA'd too... that might be an option, especially now that bards have 2 different DA's on 2 different timers. Would give me a chance to pick locks before the little stupid mobs ate me too much.

I guess i'm lucky I just shakerpage down all the little mobs in the room (good exp) then do the range nuke on the eggs with one of my bots.


Shakerpage is a warrior with riposte disc and rampage AA and Earthshaker

I've also used my rime staff it is worked also these sucka have very low hps.
 
Really? huh, didn't know that of course I haven't tried shakerpaging since the release.
