Here ive done an route discription, i ran the quest a couple of times with the same route, most efficient in my opinion.

I did it too, but I picked up Every Little Bit Helps and The Waiting Game after I finished and the quests are still showing as active. I'm hoping this means I can still complete them >_> If I go up to the Steward I can accept Something Wicked again.

Very cool! I now feel motivated to go through this quest again. Much appreciated.

Edit: Mind if I host this on my website for guildmates? I'll give you full credit.

I modified your image a little; hope you don't mind. May I use it in my thread?

I just tried 20 more times...
It is impossible, because the lags make it unable for me to use the knockdown, because either mobs are too far away or I can't time it properly...
Please fix either the lags or the quest

Warvic · Oct 27, 2010, 12:00 AM // 00:00

Fix your internet?

I managed to complete it on my first try. No lags at all.

The only "hard" part is Bone Pits. But if you concentrate, even that is easy! Because you can also KD tab KD 2 targets within a few seconds. On my way in i only had like 36hp left. But before i went out, i took my time to check the patrols, and managed to get out without getting any damage!

Fay Vert · Oct 27, 2010, 12:04 AM // 00:04

Red rock candies make this a lot easier, haven't tried other consumables. The only tricky bit really is the bone pits, do that early and the rest is a doddle.

Well, maybe the most efficient, but not the best for me. I always prefer to go first to Bone Pits as this is the hardest part of the quest. If I fail in Bone Pits then I am "missing" only a few minutes. If you fail in Bone Pits running your way you are wasting much more time.

Anyway, good map, nicely done.

If you don't have Red Rock candies, Birthday Cupcakes work too - and you can "top up" your running speed with blue/green rock candies too if you want. Apparently Essence of Celerity works too, and makes the quest lolcatz-EZ, but I haven't tried that. You can also use War Supplies, Skalefin Soup and Armor of Salvation for up to +3 health regen in case you get hit by degen hexes.

I always managed Don't Fear the Reapers at 1st attempt in the past... but I've been hit by severe lags too, the last day or so... and they reset the quests so I had to repeat it on my Legendary-Survivor-To-Be. I failed 3 times at Bone Pits because of lag, casting your Sugar Shock KD's or Mad King's Influence 1 second late... is FTL -_-

Good thing failure in the solo quests doesn't add to your death count.

carbajac · Oct 27, 2010, 09:46 AM // 09:46

Yeah, I had a rough time with this one in the Pits too. After a few tries, I just did the Pits first and did the rest which I knew I could do. After a few tries, I got a feel for where the groups were and where they were patrolling. Got it after about 6 tries, done and done.

Big_Iron · Oct 27, 2010, 12:43 PM // 12:43

Thanks MisterB and Miss Presler. I tried this last night, but died while running OUT of the Bone Pit. I think this map will help me navigate. I'll give it another shot tonight.

BenjZee · Oct 27, 2010, 12:51 PM // 12:51

You do get surprisingly better at Bone Pits though when you do it on like 10 characters twice lol, it is the easiest place to crew up so despite being slightly less efficent i would still start with this area and head clockwise

The forth fly · Oct 27, 2010, 01:15 PM // 13:15

I could do it np last year but this year i died in pits twice,so i went and crafted a essence perma Mad King's Influence ftw.Takes 25 mins max

aspi · Oct 27, 2010, 01:35 PM // 13:35

Well I got a full stack of trans tonics so I guess thats enough potions to eventualy make it through

Dzjudz · Oct 27, 2010, 03:05 PM // 15:05

Here's a couple of links to posts and pictures I made in last year's halloween thread.

If you have rubberband/disconnect kind of lag, they can't do much. If you get lag where your system just seems to hang for a couple seconds sometimes, try setting all graphics settings to low and you should be able to do the quest.

I did it first try this morning, no cons. You've just got to play carefully. Use Mad King's Influence to neutralize as many as you can, or save it so the second you see a damage number hit you, use it. The knockdown skill is only good where you see a solo enemy hanging out where you'd like to rest, keep spamming it on them. Even sticky ground can save you. Really it's about looking at the skills very carefully and making the best of them and their recharge times, with a big focus on Sugar Rush, and Mad King's Influence.

Charlie Dayman · Oct 27, 2010, 05:18 PM // 17:18

Yeah, thanks a whole bunch for those maps. If it weren't for those, I definitely would not have known what directions to take.

I wiped on my first try at the Bone pits near that goofy little turn-about. Finished the quest on my second go-around. Though I got rubberbanded for a second when running back to the labyrinths and up to Frozenwind. Got very close to dying from a small wimpy group of phantoms.

Good thing I had the Influence skill ready to mash.

Kranas · Oct 27, 2010, 09:24 PM // 21:24

For some reason I haven't been able to post in this thread, so if it will finally let me post just some quick points

You don't need consumables for a fast time. I've managed 18 minutes without consumables for this quest.

If you are failing at all consistently you should probably stop trying, because other then lag as an excuse, you're not going to be anywhere near good enough to do a PUG Waiting Game without getting some help from friends which comes after this.

The "efficient" route is the most efficient, but it doesn't really matter which order you do them in, although saving the ice wastes reaper for the end would save some more minutes than doing the others last.

Dosearius Takerius · Oct 27, 2010, 09:30 PM // 21:30

wow...had no idea there was a problem here. Did not get a chance to run this last year, did it no trouble on my first attempt. Experienced no lag issues at all, and I was in there WAY longer then need be because I'm unfamiliar with UW and got mad lost a few times.

Guess I just got really lucky? And that was on a dial-up connection...
