Wiki suggests that the reward in HM for beating Augory Rock is 2k exp, 500g and 1 skill pt. The same is doubled if you accomplish the bonus (kill the doppleganger in under 2 mins).

In most missions, the HM cash reward is repeatable; however, repeated beatings of the doppleganger in HM (3-5 seconds each) result in no reward. I was so excited about being able to farm here.

Am I misunderstanding wiki? Or is the information incorrect?

Nope,no missions rewards are repeatable.You gain it each time for the first time one character does it,but only the first time per character.

Didn't dawn on you for one second that, after 4+ years of GW, if this was the case why there wasn't 100+ Augury Rock districts and a continual stream of toons farming their dopplegangers?

doh!

and which bit of the wiki confused you?

"For completing a mission for the first time you get 1000 experience and 1 skill point.
For finding and performing bonus objective for the first time you get 1000 XP.
In Hard mode you gain 2000 XP, 500 and 1 skill point for completing a mission or bonus the first time. "

Just to be clear, here is a direct copy paste from Wiki:

> In hard mode:

> 2,000 XP, 500 , and 1 skill point for mission completion.
> 2,000 XP, 500 , and 1 skill point for completion of the bonus objective.

Note the lack of the words "the first time".

I do appreciate the responses. I had the mistaken notion that I could earn the cash rewards having completed the missions multiple times and for some reason I thought Augory was treated differently as it is very different from any other mission in Prophecies.

Shame on Anet for not giving us an easily completable HM mission that can be done in less than 10 seconds with a financial reward.

Don't lose hope, they still made it easy to accumulate wealth. You just won't get it quite as easy as you had thought.

EDIT: The words "the first time" are there, you just didn't copy all of the info.

Challenge missions would be the exception to this rule. Prophecies has none of these, though.

I do agree that if Augory were repeatable it would be a bit excessive - 1k every 10-15 seconds counting load time. The longest part of that mission is casting the requisite PVE only skill.

Still, I don't see why generally having a repeatable reward for completing missions in hard mode is such a bad idea. After all, we have it for vanqs (and DTSC/MWSC are pretty darn quick these days).

The reason I posted is that I thought perhaps Anet had nerfed the reward on this one to prevent overly easy farming.

C'est la vie...
