For me the sense of acheivment of getting the armour the 'right' way, is greater than actually having the armour.

The 'right' way ? How does one say there is one right way? There are simply several alternative ways, one of which is the supplies quest.

Again, 'the right way'. Does anybody really think that ANet didn't anticipate this would be run for faction ? How can ANet not approve of people repeatedly doing a repeatable quest ? They are the ones that set it up to be repeatable. Duh. The right way, the wrong way - where's the waaaaaambulance ?

They nerfed the quest because it was too easy compared to the other faction farm quests. Now to finish it effectively everytime, you have to join a FF group of trappers in Braur Academy (theres like 10 of them forming at any given time).

not true i timed myself ealier and i got it down to 2:30s and i only use henchies. How i do it is i use my MM grab a bunch of henchies and the one grp beside the quest i kill them off giving me 5 minons walk to the quest by time i thrown Death nova on all my minons there already attacking me, smash the taste of death skill killing all my minons and triggering all them death novas i throw up which pretty much kills just about most of them then if any left putrid explosen and there all dead easy 400 kuz faction

Sorry.. I meant the kurzick supplies quest is harder than the luxon one.

Luxon is like >Get the quest A, 123 > Reach destination B

~!

Hilarious, stupid, (I can't find the most horrible word for laziness)

Get over it guys, or if you are not happy about it, join the "Scam" as we are nowadays adressed by "Some".

The supply quest imo will become abused over time, but still, it's a grind fest.

pegasux · May 13, 2006, 01:33 PM // 13:33

the supply quest is a huge grind but at least there are always 1-4 chest to open along the way.

The funny thing I noticed when I got into the Kurzick's area is that Amber generally sells for 2.5K and above, while Jade goes for around 1.9K to 2K.

Kurzick towns seem to be more populated too. Low supply high demand for amber vs high supply low demand for jade?

I only reached Brauer Academy the day before they increased the dificulty of the Duelist quest,so it takes too long for me to hench that one with my warrior. I switched to the Kurzick supply run, and can complete this one in 4 minutes without fail(9 out of 10, tbh).I run with a full party of hench, and us them as remote-control aggro-bombs(TM)by calling groups that target me.

The hard parts of this run are the Luxon ambush patrols that pop up along the route, I memorized their location, and simply avoid their spawn(the last one can't be avoided, just run by the Kurzicks guarding the Res Shrine, and they will fight them off for you). I just run a Drok's W/Mo build for skills/attributes. No, you don't need Mending.

It is interesting to see how the difference in difficulty affects the faction cost of the capitals, last i saw Cavalon was around 4million more faction required to obtain than Heltzer.
