Budger is good for blasting mobs - beyond that, I don't know if he was intended to have a specific purpose. It certainly isn't needed to do the Nornbear quest.

You don't NEED to use him...I also completed the quest without using him because I didn't know he was there. He'd have made it much easier though.

It's also quite possible that he wasn't there during the quest because it's like a sub-mission instance in Drakkar...the regular mobs aren't there.

This is funny, I love these kind of threads.

This is just like that thread that discussed the black dot that appeared in the Elona map and how it was supposed to be related to the Elona elite mission (before DoA was out)

I think its just things that Anet puts there to keep people busy thinking about the game. (smart on Anet's behalf if you ask me)

This is just like the ancient weapon in the Arid Sea, the glowing wall in Forum Highlands, that NPC (forgot his name) that shows in different places in the noob island in NF or that temple looking area in UW.

gg Anet.

Boxter, you're referring to Baltehk. Something like that, I wish I could see him but I have not.

The "Ancient Weapon" was originally going to be needed to knock over the big statue you walk across to get to that Forgotten guy to do the 15 attribute quest. They ended up scraping the idea, instead they just made the statue always knocked over, but left the "Ancient Weapon" in Arid Sea.

To have future players ask and talk about it wondering what is it for.

So its kidna the same.
Hey I like these kind of touches, makes the game more mysterious, although nothing can touch the feel of Tyria.

It wouldn't surprise me that theres more elite dungeons to be unlocked. Slavers exile is the only one available, kinda odd only having one elite place for existing characters. It makes sense that It's possible to be more elite or master areas.
