Default Message for Little THOM, strange? its not working

Hi there,

I am doing the quest message for little thom, you have to search for him and give the message.(from farrah cappo in piken square). I found him in Yak's bend, he is next to the henchmen there. But you can't click him to give the message, there's no star at the location where he is standig no nothing...

who knows how to solve this quest?

greetz, Wiccy

Heh, I never thought about this.

If you follow the quest arrow for Farah's quest, you'll find it takes you to a place in Regent Valley. There's where the quest actually ends.

Little Thom being in Yak's Bend is something entirely different, but the ending of the quest gives you an idea why.

Anyway, just head to Regent Valley outside of Fort Ranik, and the problem's solved.

I did the Little Thom quest this morning with my secondary character and noticed that there was no green star at the location of his body, although I had the quest marked as my active quest in the quest log. I found the body only because I knew where it is from playing the quest with my primary character.

Bug?

That`s what happens when npcs kill the quest character before you get to complete the quest. To get past it you have to reload the map and get to the character before the computer mobs kills him (not intended it just happens at times).

edit: usually I think the little green star is still there around the dead body, so I may be wrong, I never did this quest with my chars, just guessed from what I have observed in other quests.

Errrmm ... that quest we're talking about here is different. You're not supposed to find Little Thom alive. It is intended that you find his dead body.

Erm..I never did that quest, but how come he's a henchman in Yak's Bend if he died in Ascalon?

Spoilers?

Oh well, at least he isn't a part of the storyline or anything important.

You find his badge on the corpse of a Charr. That doesn't mean that Little Thom is dead though.....

It's actually all very clear if you read what everybody says when you run a quest instead of just click, accept, click, accept. The body you find is not little thom, the dead guy just had his badge. And the quest want you to actually find that dead body with the badge, can't just run to where the real little thom is hanging out.

I had the quest to deliver the message to Thom too, but when I went to the area it was like he was on a hill or something and I couldn't find the path to it. I was close enough to see the star but couldn't find the way up. I was then killed by some creeps (it was me and the healer henchman alone) and so I decided to abandon it cause it didn't yield any skill points or skills rewards :\

I do read quests, I just never got around to doing that one.

note people that he was not in an adjacent zone so the arrow will not light up

this happens with any quest when you are too far away from the quest object

as soon as you are in a zone close enough and click on the quest the arrow will light up

You - "I have an important message for you from Farrah Cappo"
Little Thorn- "Can't talk... working."
You - "But she said it was important, you just have to take this item."
Little Thorn- "Sorry, busy..."
You - "Look! You don't even have to read it, just take it and I'll tell her you got the message."
Little Thorn- "But then you'd be lieing, that's immoral."
You - "Please! It's an important message and it's for you."
Little Thorn- "Sorry, working."

But you do get 1000 exp. I was not killed at all. I found it, and it's not hard. I went alone against 5 charr(but then again, i am lvl 13). I want to do every quest that there is in the game. So then i can say that i completely played the entire game.

I got something like that with Gwen broken flute were the green marker was mot updating and still showing Gwen location instead of the flute.

Green markers sometimes are not "dead on" in the location, that expecially happens when its a "go kill X" quest were they roam the area and move away ftom the marker, anoying as hell but ....
