Is it just me(and my friend) that the quests, Hammer and Anvil and some other quest involving 'Supply Columns' are bugged? Supply Column quest is like.. unfinishable. and the Hammer and Anvil quest, when you get to the location, there is no Grimm BAKAKAK thinger.

Hammer and Anvil rquires you to kill the bunch of Charr in a big pit near where the waypoint is.

The supply column quest goe much easier if you "pave the road" first before you talk to the boys and have them tag along. Once all monsters on your chosen route are dead, go back and talk to the boys to get them to follow you to Piken Square. With no monsters in your path, the boys live to see the end.

As far as Hammar/Anvil,.... go back to old ascalon area and approach it from the Breach entrance. Once you get down the stairs in there, turn right and head down the tar river. (reason being for this approach is that you have to be at a point in the quest where you are in the river and under a bridge..(that lil green quest star)... if timed right,..you should see the Ascalon boys trudging down stream in front of you. Follow them in and let them lead off. Don't worry....your target will be there. Then all you have to do is kill him and the 15 other Charr protecting him.

This backdoor approach may be a bit easier for the 8-11 character range who have adequate gear on. Smaller enemy groups on way there and a little more manageable for anybody still finding there proverbial footing.

I did the hammer/anvil with my first character easily, just the instruction was a little confusing, it says they will push them blah blah, ask me to go to that way point, actually it's just north of there, with some henchman and a lv7 w/Me(useless), I finish that part really easily. now I will finish it soon with my new lv8 Mo/Ne, it should just be a piece of cake.

I'm not positive but the I think that you have to let the supply runners enter Piken Square BEFORE you enter. If you go in with them following it just resets.

Hmm. I went to the Supply Column "green spot", and no one was there. Is this a bug, or do I need to look around a little more?

I caught the charr having a field day with the supply train on my first try at the mission (it was very long to hack just to where they were) so only one dude was left.

Another approach is to hack your way to Pikman's Square and then trek to the supply convoy - if charr are a problem for you.. the quest is designed for a frontal attack and not a rear ward attack. A fun thing to do is to chop the 3 charr patrols up for bait and simply have no red dots on the trek back to pickman's square.

And yes, the first time I got the whole group to the square I went in first

hence no reward. I had fun reverse tracking the mission so I can't say it wasn't fun.

TalonSlayer · May 10, 2005, 03:50 PM // 15:50

So I have to go through the mission quickly, because if not, the supply train could be dead by the time I get there?

jeffy · May 11, 2005, 01:46 AM // 01:46

I doubt it.. The supply colomn doesn't even get attacked, its not near any monsters.
