i completed this last night and after it was done i got 1000 XP and 1 Skill point

when i went to alocate the skill point it was not there? anyone else not getting this reward?

You're mixing up Skill points with Attribute points. The mission rewards you with a Skill point not an Attribute point.

Skill points are used to purchase a skill from the trainer not like the attribute points where you can allocate them. At least I think this is what you are asking.

were do you view how many skill points you have?

can these be used for anything eles other than buying skills with them?

just want to know if i should save them for something with more value later in the game?

PUNTJUH · May 04, 2005, 05:28 PM // 17:28

Not that i know of.. They are named skill points .. so it figures you can only use them to buy skills :d.

I was going to ask if the quest is bugged, but for a different reason. When I freed the prisoners, I didn't think that was who I was supposed to save for the bonus, but right as he said his last comment he ran off. Ok, so I turn around to read it and I get the shield on the screen with the sword through it and I got 1000 exp. Ok, I figure I got the bonus for the mission. Right? But the quest log still showed the bonus as uncompleted. hmm. Wound up finishing up the quest, got another 1000 exp and a skill point but only one sword went through the shield at the very end. Even the map only shows the one sword.
Any ideas on what happened?

Now that really does sound like a bug. You should report it to Anet.

Similar thing happened to my friend last night. We killed the Ice Drake on Borlis Pass, but for some reason I got the bonus mission sword through the shield and he did not. He did get the xp though. Weird.

Dumahim Ashenbane · May 04, 2005, 05:41 PM // 17:41

Alrighty. I did the quest kinda late last night and quit right as I finished it, but I figured I'll go through it again to be sure before I report anything.

salatious · May 04, 2005, 05:50 PM // 17:50

ok this is what i did.. after i freed the guys i got the mession with 1 sword through the sheild and then continued to the wall and completed the second part of the mission and the animation did 1 sword through the shield, when i get back to Ranik and looked at the Travel map it did have both swords through it. so this seems to be completed for me. but you spoke of a bonus mission? what is this

Auntie I · May 04, 2005, 05:55 PM // 17:55

The bonus mission was freeing the captives, which you did. Each mission have a primary objective and a bonus. The primary objective is outlined at the start, the secondary you figure out on the way. Mostly a bit of exploring will give them to you. An extra 1000XP is always worth looking for.

salatious · May 04, 2005, 06:00 PM // 18:00

well i did get a bonus mission now that i think of it. at the begining of the mission after you fight the first wave of charr there is a guy on a hill that you speak to and he gives you a letter to take to his wife. this letter is delievered to her after the missions are over and you go to Asc. she is right outide of Asc. its only 500 XP

and are you sure that is a bonus mission? becasue there are always 2 quest to complete for each mission that you do to complete the whole thing? so that woudl not be a bonus? just part 1 of a 2 part requirement.

Dumahim Ashenbane · May 04, 2005, 06:04 PM // 18:04

freeing the prisoners is the bonus mission as it updates the quest log with the info for it. If you check the quest log after speaking to the person mentioning freeing the prisoners, you'll see the requirements and it'll say "BONUS" The part that confuses me is that the bonus asks you to free some guy who has a name (at work and I can't look it up). When I got to the prisoners, the two there had generic titles, yet I got the sword through the shield animation as if I had completed the bonus mission.

The guy that asks to deliver a letter to his wife is just a seperate mission.

Technically, that's a "quest", rather than a "mission".

Violessence · May 24, 2005, 02:32 PM // 14:32

I must be really pathetic but I cannot finish this mission to save my life! I'm a level 12 Necro/Mes.... I take the henchmen with me and when we get to the wall with all the Charr, I choke! I do the catapult thing, kill them off... but by the time I get my team up to the wall they are swarming through again and we all get killed pretty much instantly. What in Dwayna's name am I doing wrong??

LOL, in Dwayna's name... Anyway, there's another catapult to the north of the catapult you have to fix. There's a patrol of 2-3 charr who you can take out and then load the catapult, lure charr out of the wall (most of the time they either run after you for a whole while or they run back safely behind the wall, this technique is based on that they run after you for a whole while), run back to the catapult and the charr should run back to the wall. Now shoot of the catapult and it'll probably hit a lot of them making it easier to knock the rest out for you.

Drakenbow · May 24, 2005, 02:45 PM // 14:45

Vio, be cautious and when they swarm... back off... check your surroundings

lol... what davey said

those are the 2 where you go under the bridge and the path curves to the left but if you go up and to the right you find them

one of them should say Deeter Saberlin and as soon as you release them they run back to the big door area where the father is for the bonus
