Because its there.

Same with many of us, if its a quest we are going to do it.

As the complain about that quest is that is a badly designed quest, the reward is poor compared to the effort and its avaible at a point were we are not ready to tackle such encounters, that place have desert level mobs.

Sure we are not forced to do it but it would be the same as Ashes giving 20xp and a 10gp for doing it.

I completed the quest yesterday, we took out the first wave of verata and got owned by the second. The last remaining member of our group lead the verata into galrath and his bandits and they killed eachother while the mesmer took pop-shots at Galrath while he was distracted. Sure, the ingame reward was sucky but the adevnture of getting there is great (a role playing groups dream). Plus you realy get to know your group in such a long quest and thats something that rarely happens in this one night stand mission system.

lol~! evidently someone important reads these posts - as of today, the quest reward is now...4000xp!

Suddenly I see a need to give it another try...

squakMix · Jun 09, 2005, 12:08 AM // 00:08

Wow! O.O

I think I'll go do this!

eA-Zaku · Jun 09, 2005, 12:09 AM // 00:09

Who hands out the quest? I believe it was Firstwatch Sergio [Skills] but he's not giving me another quest.

Looks like I missed out on 3500 exp? I want to re-do it

Madjik · Jun 09, 2005, 12:12 AM // 00:12

yea, i'd say I lucked out. I was going to do this quest the other night (picked it up and got ready to set out) but after reading the forums didnt want to mess with the amount of work for a paltry 500 xp. So its been sitting in my quest list for a day or two now.

Looks like i'm in better shape to do it now

"Increased reward for quest "The Villainy of Galrath" from 500 XP to 4000 XP."

-Official GW site

Your wish has been granted

bioxeed · Jun 09, 2005, 01:44 AM // 01:44

bwahaha.. awesome.. i'll have to do this with my alt now

Evan montegarde · Jun 09, 2005, 02:38 AM // 02:38

I was right in the middle of doing this quest right when I opened Firefox and went to the GW site cause I heard of the new update, I was like "WOAHOMG" at the 8x EXP boost.

CtrlAltDel · Jun 09, 2005, 02:40 AM // 02:40

wow now maybe someone will want to party with my R/E for the quest, roofle

Drakron · Jun 09, 2005, 02:49 AM // 02:49

Yes, I done it a few minutes ago and its giving 4.000 xp ...

Okra · Jun 09, 2005, 04:57 PM // 16:57

Nice change for people that haven't already done it.

VERY LAME RIPOFF for those of us that HAVE done it.

Would be nice to be able to go back and re-do it.
I'm not holding my breath for that, though.

DrSLUGFly · Jun 09, 2005, 05:42 PM // 17:42

well... you could just make a new character exclusively for Galrath

N0MaD · Jun 09, 2005, 06:33 PM // 18:33

Hahah I soloed that quest with my lvl 20 W/Mo, my Entire team was dead and waiting for me to kill like 15 monsters. Required a good c-ordination of healing and attacks but oh well it was fun run for me atleast even the dead ones got the update or I would have freaked out and deleted the game.

ps: The Quest is fixed now to 4k XP so "BooHoo" to whoever already did it, which includes me !!

Talesin Darkbriar · Jun 09, 2005, 06:53 PM // 18:53

Get the quest in Lion's Arch folks - you can pick it up even if you deleted it earlier as did I.

Night · Jun 09, 2005, 07:39 PM // 19:39

Well I think the reward maybe worth 1000 xp or maybe even 2.5 k but more than that is way too rich. I did it with 1 wa/mo, my self as e/n and m/wa the reset were henchmen. We died I think once each but then we got smart and pulled (which too many people think pulling is getting 1 mob to aggro then run up and attack it instead of letting it come to you). Once we did that, no issues.

But ya 500 Xp is way too weak. Don't you get 500 Xp for doing the capture signet test?

JoDiamonds · Jun 09, 2005, 08:44 PM // 20:44

Alas, I didn't delete the quest, I merely DID the quest. ;-}

Still, it was a fun quest and a very pretty view. That's mostly the point, right?

DeemosQB · Jun 09, 2005, 09:07 PM // 21:07

well done guys it seems like your posts paid off.... thank god i left this quest in my to do pile lol.... feel bad for all yous players out there who killed that scum lord for a crappy 500 exp

Rhunex · Jun 09, 2005, 09:10 PM // 21:10

I wish they hadn't changed the XP on the quest, and not because my main character has done it for 500 XP, merely because they made it too easy to milk it for XP. If you had done the quest the right way, either from Temple of Ages, or the Hot Springs, you get a lot of exp along the way, a levels worth easily to some people. The monsters are all high level(for the area) and give a lot of exp. And now, you get all that experience, plus 4,000 for killing the easiest boss I've ever fought before. They have balance issues with it...

Evan The Cursed · Jun 09, 2005, 09:15 PM // 21:15

Milk it for XP!? Are you mad? It's 4000XP. It's... experience.

The two Althea quests alone are 2k each.

And again, it's experience... not like it's giving you any skills or items, well okay quest items are pathetic anyways...

*shrug* I dunno.
