Improve the success rate of the "A thousand snowballs!" and "A thousand pelts" quests

[Solvok]

this has been very hard for me to get through and i still havent finished; i die too many times doing this quest

[Varking]

Is this quest for level 40s and higher only? I just started it on my 41 dex bear but it isn't available to me on my 28 Battle Mage.

[Kalielle]

They call them elite dungeons for a reason. There's plenty of easy content elsewhere in the game.

I think the success rates are fine as they are. These quests give us something to do when we get bored of farming AO3. They're something you come back to and do a bit each day, not something you finish in an evening. Without them I think much fewer people would be playing nightmares.

Incidentally, I find nightmares quite easy to play on a level 50. You just need a team that works together. It's possible to solo (with some classes more so than with others), but not without quite a few deaths.

What level are the rewards?

[Royce]

These are supposed to be elite quests with unique rewards. They should stay hard. I finished both with a level 30 mage. They're not impossible, it just takes patience.

[JonDaDon]

oh look its that guy^^^

[Royce]

What level are the rewards?

30, an they're worth the effort just for the uniqueness factor. Though I wish they'd tack that 1 armor that black ice staff is missing back on, since currently it's slightly inferior to the regular one.

Anyway, apart from the difficulty factor which should stay as hard as it is, i do share the feeling the chance of success rate in these elite maps should increase as much as they did on tomes (MUCH better now)

[Lesrider]

Lol I abandoned the tomes a long time ago. Decided to check it out yesterday with my Mage, and I was getting so many tomes that my screen was never clear. Got up to like 500 in a few minutes.

Frozen longsword, auto crossbow, and staff look AWESOME, other ones are just eh.

It's taken me forever and I'm only about halfway through those quests. :/

The tomes quest was not elite, these are. I really hope they do not increase pelt an snowball drop rates. What's the point of unique black ice if it's easy to get, and then not so unique any more? It's supposed to be elite people, it's supposed to take dedication

I'm confused, though...

What good is a lvl 30 item if you're lvl 40 by the time you finish the quest?

You won't be level 40 since you stop gaining XP in FN before then. Anyway, they are generally the best weapons til AO2, so they are quite useful, but mainly they are for show anyway, since the items that drop in FN have the same stats. I use my black ice on my level 30 FN twink

Hmm..good to know.

[Varking]

Looks like I will be turning off my EXP gain once I hit 30 tonight or tomorrow on my Mage to try and get these over the next few weeks while still getting kills counted.

[Uctiger62]

I keep forgetting that since there is no real end-game content...there's no need to hurry up and grind to 50.

It's called an "elite" quest..and it's supposed to be hard. No only that it would be unfair for people who have already finished the quests.

[Fyrce]

It good to have something that is optional but is also a challenge. There are not that many challenges in this game... And I do NOT even want to think about the number of pelts and snowballs I have yet to get... over all my characters. LOL.

[maneut]

It's fine as it is, it lets you learn how not to relie on pots to stay alive... lots of hit and run if you wanna solo It's a good break from AO3 farming too!
