Hi guys, my first post.

Anyway...

I'm still in Post-searing and doing a mission where I have to find some great Aloe(sp) seed or somthing. I follow the green marker all the way untill it turns into the green star thingy. I then get attacked by about 6-7 level 3 Aloe thingys and die quickly.

Do I need to be in a large group for this or am I doing something wrong ? I'm a level 7 Ranger/Monk. Sorry for being vague with the names but I'm at work and can't remember them.

Cheers

I think you mean that you are still in PRE-searing. I don't remember doing that quest, but I would simply suggest that if it is too hard, try to get some help. Or if you can just sneak up to one and fight them in a smaller group it would help, instead of running into the middle of them. If you are trying to attack at point blank range(sword, or other melee) you might try a ranged weapon. try to atack just the closest one to you without getting close enough to the others that they stay fighting u too.

This is one of the hardest quests in pre-searing, I died quite a few times there.
The easiest way is if you aproach the area with the seeds from the mountain and not straight from Aidan. It's along walk though, I suggest you start from Foible's Fair.

i have done that quest and what happened to me was this. i went in the fray of battle with my trusty pet and i managed to kill an aloe that dropped a seed which i got and then i got slaughtered

after this i lookid in my quest log and it said to return to the ranger so i went that looong way from the abbey (i hadnt found the safe zone in wizard's folly at that time) and got my reward

This is indeed pretty difficult.

I ended up using everything I had to kill one seed quickly. Ran up, grabbed the root and ran like hell back to Aiden. They'll pursue you for a little ways, but you should be able to escape.

If you don't escape, however, and died while grabbing the root; it'll still be in your inventory. Easy walk (but lengthy) walk back to Aiden for your reward.

Or, if you want to be real mean, do the quest when you are level 6 and a ranger/elementalist

I went in, and thought wow, that's alot of foes. Oh well, Rain fire down on them, pet grabbed one of them for a chew toy( I told him: "You have got to stop using Skales for chew toys, they aren't very squeaky"

) and was able to slaughter em all. Then again, I tend to not leave pre-searing until I hit level 8, mostly so I can build up a good gold base and good selection of crafting components and dyes ( which seem to drop a lot more than the first time I played on Friday)

I was able to buddy up with a ele at the fair, we went down and killed a few, got alot of root and finished the quest. We didnt kill them all, but got alot of them. And of course since I am a nice person, there were some lvl 6/7 rangers that didnt have those skills yet, so I gave them the left over root I had and told or shown them where Aiden was....darn pesky spiders...lol
