New Bounties

I use texmod all the time.

I do my own custom skins and colors on things to make it more suitable to my liking

The Inquistor quests are still up today. I'm guessing these are permanent available, one-shot deals. (I.E., like every other quest, not zquests.) The daily bounty is a suitably crappy 4 supplies.

I suspect they will throw others like the inquisitors in every now and then to advance the story line ...

...and just what info was bauer trying to get out of mergoyles, anyway?

I kept getting 2 jade cloaks in Bauer's group lol. I didn't know you could get him without any.

Tom I think you're right, because both of these new bounties weren't for killing a boss that was already always there, they're story related events, which imo is pretty cool, the bounties help point us in the direction of where to go for these dialogs/story events, which was one thing I didn't like about WIK, no direction, you had to wiki everything or be really anal retentive about exploring every nook and cranny in kryta multiple times a day, after every patch.

yep and killing the normal bosses for 4 supplies isn't worth the time or effort at all. Fail on A-nets part. They need to boost the reward for these to 15 (10+5)

After yesterday's update, I think a many of us were thrown for a loop.

The Courier escort DwG quest was nerfed way back, then the two Inquisitor bounties were added with pretty nice rewards (20nm +10hm). Speaking at least for myself, I took this as meaning that repeatable escort quests were meant not to be worth much, while the SB bounties were meant to be worth more. But it looks like the two Inquisitor bounties were pre-planned and are part of the WiK progression (since they haven't been replaced nor removed the next day), and since they are Inquisitors and are important, their rewards were strengthened to coax people into participating in the WiK storyline.

As it seems to me now, they really just wanted to scale the War Supply farmers back so that they don't cheapen whatever the Medals of Honor are supposed to be traded in for. So, if you farmed those suckers because you knew they were going to get nerfed soon (as I am happy to say I did), you are sitting pretty.

I don't understand why bounties in serpent twin lakes are always worth only 3+1. Don't know if it's just me, but they are the only ones, really, the only ones I can't manage to do in hm. They seem to have abnormal healing/ressing capabilities, and that is for all the groups in that map.

Probably because that zone is smaller than most and can be easily accessed via Riverside Province.

Bauer is in a zone smaller than TSL, easily accessed via Gates of Kryta, easier to get to (than Selenas the Blunt is) and not altogether harder to kill in HM... the 3+1 bounties should be raised to 10+5 (?) imo.

El P, as I mentioned above, it is likely that the Inquisitor bounties are 'special', in the ways I outlined

there's a decent trend now that the daily bounties are worth very little, esp the ones that are quick to get to

I, too, was hoping for an adjustment of the bounties on a consistent basis. We'll see what happens today, but I'd be okay with the occasional 5 minute run for 3+1 if the regular ones are boosted to 15+10 or so. Also, Black is right in that the Inquisitors should be worth more.

Still, I've been doing these every day and have about half a stack, far behind those who have been doing Falken farm. If they want to catch folks up for doing the quests, then they're going to have to try harder to give good bounties. I don't care if they're harder bounties, just offer more so my way (questing )is competitive. If that is indeed what they're after.

OK, I can go along with that. I guess I misunderstood the latest update with, "Rebalanced the rewards for completing Wanted by the Shining Blade quests" to mean they'd all be in line; reward(s) given to be about equal.

I was also kind of expecting some more of those (Inquisitor ones) last night, as Salma said she was stepping up her bounties, but I guess all in due time....

IDK if the zb changes and these don't then we will know for sure.

EDIT: Looks like they took them out its just Justiciar Amilym today. Unless I can't see the Inquisitor because I did them with all already?

Yes, I don't think they're repeatable, other way it would give crazy amounts of rewards.

They're starting to give low rewards again -.- 3+1 today

ok but this was a 5 minute walk in the park, HM or NM didn't even make a difference. In fact I got way less enemies in HM because of a lucky spawn of some other inquisitor

Bauer was a 3 min walk too, with the right build.

Inquisitors and Justiciars give higher reward because they are a bit more important in the War than all those random Peacekeeper bosses and lowly White Mantle bosses.

I have all 10 classes rdy to get the bounties.

And in my personal exp.

With some classes the bounties are easy dont mather the spawn of foes.

Ele, Rit e Paragorn

But with some classes the things go hard and i die sometimes or need to rezone to chance the spawn.

Monk, Der e Sin

But in my personal opinion the worst not the low rewards or hard foes the pain is Alesia. My 3 heros have Resurrection Chant to avoid monks go for resing... but the @#$% stop everything, stop healing and runs forward the combat and start resing... WTF Alesiaaaaaaaa the @#$%¨die with 1 strike and the heros stop doing their job to rez this @#$%¨...
