ok... first things first!
This Heartland Plateau zone = GRRRRRRRRR
That being said:
OK, now...
I chose the Silver Crown's as my leads and bravely started to gather their junk for them. 8 Heartland Stews are in my bags now and 6 times now have i gather 4 pieces of ore for the smithy... and still that wanker that goes by the name of Valner will not up my rank...
Carbonite ore = WAY to rare imho....
Grizzly Bear Flank = even way MORE to rare imho....
Panther drops are perfectly fine, Owlbear is doable although a tad harder and the veggies are easy to come by as well. The entire day i see ppl advancing in rank with like... 6 stews/2ore's etc etc... and i, at 7/6 still get squat
What with this?
ps...
edit: wow, that lil /rant helped big time
why does this zone lag so incredibily much btw
edit 2: having made 8 stews i collected material for another 3, but as i try to turn in the materials to the cook he returns everything to me
whats wrong there?
edit 3: finally, i made it. silly thomas!
edit 4: i completed step 4 and i must say... it was 100% worth every bit of annoyance i had to endure in that godforgiven zone! the step where you speak with the big robot is really supercool!
anyway, Gavin gave me back my old Gemstone of Insight again. just like i got my gemstone of knowledge back when i went up for insight! i left it in my bank in the augmentation kit for a GM to nuke it from the database!
