How come nobody mentioned the rumor about getting Legendary Survivor title and Legendary Defender of Ascalon in pre-searing?

Pleikki · Dec 04, 2008, 05:22 AM // 05:22

Cus its not rumour, theres atleast 1 person hanging here in guru who got em...

DarkGanni · Dec 04, 2008, 05:23 AM // 05:23

Just load in FoW with a pug and you'll get the usual comment: Don't take the quest!

Mainly this is a HUGE misinformation because taking it or not doesn't make any difference. For the record I usually take it to see people's reaction, they are always the same YOU NOOB! comments along with other insults.

There was once a rumor of a "Terror Aegis". There was a pretty good video showcasing it.

They do. When you get hit in the back, the hit always results in a critical.

The thing is, Rastigan only runs to the tower after you've engaged one of the mobs patrolling around it. Taking the quests doesn't make him Leeroy to the tower, straight through the mobs.

More, engaging the mobs patrolling the tower will trigger Rastigan to move to the tower, regardless of taken the quest or not.

So you are perfectly save getting the quest at the start. Just make sure you kill every mob before you enter the tower's surroundings.

I've only been in FoW a few times but he has never moved for me unless I talked to him. Even engaging the patrols didn't make him move. I did have a hero standing next to him the whole time - don't know if that made a difference or not.

If you get quest he start to move to tower and agroo some mobs... and stop close to tower and wait for you to clean the rangers... afhter you clear all he moves to entrance of tower...

If you dont get quest he start to move afhter you attack the rangers close of tower no mather... and wait to you clear all... afhter he goes to entrance of tower...

Why make things harder geting the quest at start if ghost have a auto mode... he moves afhter you clear path and moves again afhter you clear rangers...

Geting the quest at start or afhter finish all other quests dont mather...

Nemo the Capitalist · Dec 04, 2008, 06:39 PM // 18:39

oh man pve go play pvp sometime!

ghostly!

imnotyourmother · Dec 04, 2008, 06:49 PM // 18:49

Sure you can leave Presearing at lvl 2. What? no killing stuff is easy in post. Just grap some henchmen and go and pawn everything. I'm lvl 5 and I rule!

What a load was dropped when I read that in ascalon the other day..presearing that is.

Oh my fav...

Me asking a price check for a max damage sword in Presearing...

Answers: You can't have one cause your getting banned for wanting one
or

There is no such thing a max in pre

or my fav 12-16 is not max 15-22 is..

Ohh people are so stupid.

Or remember this one..

there is a brown bunny that responds to you when you click on it in presearing. People are like no there is no such bunny... or a secret cave.. Geesh

I believe that's called "roleplaying," a very popular and normal thing to do in many RPGs (just not GW since its not really designed for it).

Okay, to quell this Urban Legend once and for all, talking to Rastigan and accepting his quest at the beginning of FoW does not make him move to the Tower of Courage.

Screenshot shows me on the ledge after I took Rastigan's quest, and made my way to the right through the mobs, nearing the Tower. Note an Abyssal even was damaged by my minions, which ventured too far away from my party. Still, Rastigan is perfectly safe at the starting area. I didn't approach the tower, so the quest wasn't activated.

I engaged the first patrol directly, killing Rangers and Abyssal. Note the update of the quest in the message box. Only then Rastigan would start moving towards the tower.

So, Rastigan only starts moving towards the tower when your party gets close to it, and start killing the patrols. It doesn't matter if you talked to him and accepted his quest or not.

ANet updates GW the first Thursday of Each Month and that is when the new tonics and the Xunlai Tourney Prediction Tourney Pts are given out!! (tongue in cheek)

Nightow · Dec 04, 2008, 11:27 PM // 23:27

One thing about the Rastigan rumor though. Is he targetable by the enemy if you take the quest before he leaves the starting area? What about if you don't take the quest until later on?
