k thanks, got the quest. I found starstone from bowman defector in shalemont river

i still have nothing, took down 4 defectors and countless captains and nothing!
how can that be? pretty annoyed

Hi there

I asked about this and the items drop from various 4 star enemies in shalement ravine

I'm not sure this is a great idea personally but please let me know what you think of it, and if you have any ideas where you think it would be better to drop if you don't like the current quest.

Thanks!

i think it should have been a moonstone, jet, and (any) spirit star ike everyone thought at first... lol however now that i know where to get the correct drops just leave it how it is, its gonna be much harder for lower levels to get this quest than the crookback one, god forbid anyone would have to GROUP

thanks for being so prompt:) the idea is fine, just the likely hood of getting a drop is pretty awful, maybe up the rate, after all its not like warden gear/cosmic gear quest.
on the other hand maybe a certain 4 star should just drop them, say a vanguard captain, and make it a no trade item, leaving defectors and the like for the actual defector quest.

Admin,

For both of the "broken" quests, the one with the leaves and the Shalemont one, the big problem is that low level toons do not stand a chance right now. I have been camping the spawn position of the Winterleaf ent for 4 straight hours and he has spawned exactly one time. I can pretty much 1 hit him so at this rate it will take weeks for everyone to get this quest. Do you really want a line of level 90+ toons camping all four ents for weeks, not giving anyone lvl appropriate a chance?

The same holds for the Shalemont quest. With a drop rate this rare you are going to have a glut of very high level toons camping everything 4 star and defector and no one of appropriate level is going to be able to accomplish anything meaningful.

A final note on poor quest planning from the Dev's: Why, why why would you need to camp Atrisal, a level 60 boss to get book covers and bindings for a quest where the rest of the drops come from level 80 and 90 mobs? Why do the dev's like to force the high level toons to camp mobs that are not level appropriate? It is frustrating for everyone - the high levels that could be better spending their time elsewhere and the low levels who SHOULD be fighting the mobs but can't because of all the high levels that they cannot compete with!

I said in a separate post that there should be a special, one time, alternate way to award these abilities to the mid to high level characters to help avoid the current situation of high levels and beginners camping for the same low level mobs for hours and hour and hours - this is very much a frustrating lose/lose situation.

Im thinkin in the same way, well written. I have killed 20 4-stars mobs in shalemont atm and not a single stone and I know more ppl who been trying much longer so is this really the right way ?

same. Been camping defectors and placeholders all day. I have one stone- stars.

where should i look in the castle to find the statue? am I the only one having trouble?

bump we have a shale hunting group including spotters and searchers in shale. ppl who would never ks someone are over this silliness.
Update Great Deployment Poor

I imagine the quest is designed for newcomers to the game, and since most of us have been playing for a while, we are feeling the pain of taking time to co plate a quest in an area we haven't had to camp in a long time.

A quest ppl can solve in five minutes isn't really much of a quest, so it is probably pretty good as is... Except, as the previous posters mentioned, you have many, many ppl over lvl 70 hoarding mobs and bosses (and so many more who aren't even focusing on these quests yet) in a way that isn't so good for relations with newcomers. Perhaps upping the spawn/ drop rate for a while would help get some of us out of the way faster.
