How can you "millk" a quest for XP?...

I was under the impression you can not re-take a quest once you complete it. And you must complete the quest to get the 4,000 XP.

Perhaps I'm missing something?

Or have I "milked" the game to Level 15?

Gather round the fireplace everyone, and let me give you a tale. It's about three friends, who decided to buy a game called Guild Wars. They set out upon a grand adventure, which in turn led them to Bergen Hot Springs. Here they recruited three so-called henchmen, and made for Kennex Peak. For weeks they travelled through the swamps and jungles, before they finally could see the tower of the evil Galrath. But as they were making their final approch, one of the heroes DECONNECTED and the rest got their behind molested by the remaining monster. Several hours with -60% DP wasted by a simpel unexplained accident. Challenging near-insanity due to extreme odds, for nothing. That is the cause of a young adventurer.

This young hero, ladies and gentlemen, were I, and why I have no expectation of pity, I do hope you will tolerate this cry of frustration(annoying skill btw). Fortunately I got Heavy Metal and beer.

Btw, Hi I'm new, like the site.

There you are! like a ray of golden sunshine! If they hadn't changed it, it was screwed, and now that they changed it, its screwed! I swear if you ever say anything positive about this game I will fall over dead from shock...

Remember earlier when I informed you of your megalomania?
Here's a perfect example. Technically, any way that results in you finishing the quest is the right way.

Surrounded by a plethora of deadly foes...you forgot that part didn't you?
Yes, this quest is so easy most of us did it immediately after entering Old Ascalon Rhunex - we just "said" we gave up because we didn't want to give you an inferiority complex...heheh...sheesh.

I tried this quest 4x at 20th; twice with NPCs and twice with groups.
I got farther with the NPCs, and actually ran up and tapped Galrath once on the nose (party had already wiped and I was going down fast)

Perhaps it was because I didn't follow the Rhunex commandment:
"Thou shalt always have a monk."

The quest is darn hard.
Compared to other quests in the area, its closer in difficulty to Thunderhead Keep, and the xp redo, while perhaps a bit high, is not out of step with the effort required to complete it... and the view is wonderful.

Just create a new PC and do it, and quit whining...!
