f:beg While JOJ does in fact help everyone with their supplies, am I the only one who is tired of killing Serpents? I know the token quests are random and there are times where 5/7 tokens are nothing but serpents. While easy to kill and plentiful to boot, can we possibly get different ones to kill? There are plenty of other type of mobs to murder that are the serpent levels. I mean if they gave us different type of mobs each time, again all random, that would keep the JOJ less tiresome to travel to and from them. Make Jones scared of something else rather than just snakes lol!

Yes, its easy coin, don't complain, I'm just saying the serpents are getting way annoying to see non-stop after a while and someone had to ask. *shrug*

    I agree D: I always skip the serpent quest because its too far away to fly and teleporting would cost around 22k there and back, making the effort not really worth it. I'd love to kill lvl 70ish mobs a bit closer to City of the Lost, not at the other end of the bloody map xD

    So I usually port to Raging Tides --> Nightfire Altar, then fly to DW reading WC drama on my way to the spot. But I had to buy a faster flyer for my 70s char, which is ironic, because I did a bunch of Jolly Jones quests, so I could buy a flyer, so I could do Jolly Jones quests faster, lol. And to be honest, Advanced Grinding Machine annoys me so much more .

    I didn't mind that Grinding Machine before, but now it is overcrowded and looks like some people like to hog it for ages (sometimes it's just a visual glitch though...) But getting to dig your fair 3 pieces seems to be a problem nowadays. Yes, I know you can do it in the end by spam clicking the machine, but I don't like being obnoxious and my wrist hurts b:sweat

    I agree, something else would be nice. As it is now I started trashing the serpent quest and doing the others.

    But then, I also think we need more quest options in Morai. They need to realize that if we are going to do quests day after day they need to put more options in them to keep them from getting too boring.

    Perhaps a JoJ Boss Bounty Hunt would be good. It wouldnt be thrown in with the random quests, but be available to take from him once a day, consuming X amount of Bounty Orders, but paying Y amount of coins depending on the level/amount of orders consumed for that quest.

    It could even have a selection of bosses with varying difficulty and order consumption to payout ratio.

    There always seems to be a crowd around it, otherwise it is a good solution of course. Some people who spam it would kindly let you dig it when you need (and even more than 3 pieces), some would abuse it in front of 5-6 people who simultaneously spam click it interrupting each other to no end... That's why I find it a bit stressful :)

    They need put more advance grinding machines out. There are 3x Jolly Jones giving out this quest, but there is only one machine. Why can't there be at least 3 as well?

    No good idea, sry. Imo they limit the coin-output on server this way. Ppl which really need the coins (and have no other method to farm) do it atm, for all others it's too annoying. It has to be like this. Or many ppl would just hyper bunches of lvl 70s within a week on serveral accounts and spam JoJ.


    More coins on server = higher gold price btw.. It's already hard enough for the F2P community (not for myself, because I have already bunches of 100+, full r999 main and several 5aps farmer toons; but for others it is). Not everything that F2Pers want is good for them (e.g. way too long periods of 2x drop like this year = everything which is farm-able has become worthless, you have to be even lucky if you can sell an EoD for 1.5m now).

    I just do the snake quest & grinding. Killing mobs takes too much time up. I had the serpents quest 6 times, just pure luck really but at least each day it's free coins ( nice to get something free that is actually USEFUL in the game for a change )

    It's like ( with me anyway ) getting 1M coins free per day so atm, it's like being given 2 x MoG's for free a month, just for taking half hour out to do a few quests

    I have NO issues with that b:chuckle

    I like that idea very much. o.o I know some people accumulate the joj tabs by the hundreds cause of lack of time (or laziness xD), so turning them in for a bounty boss would be a good idea. I would suggest 7 orders for 1 bounty, so that way if you skip doing the joj for a day you can easily catch up.

    @ Walpurga:

    Rofl ikr? I'll never forget the day where I decided to do all my 28 joj quests... and got the serpents 24 times in a row.

    The serpents are the mobs for the last stage of joj quests (71-79). If you lvl past 79 you can't do joj quests anymore. Or at least that's what I've been told. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    71-80 but yes, you are correct.

    BTW if you guys don't want to spend coin going to the serpents, you can use the pup to get to archosaur. Then the boat outside archo to get to DW port. I personally am willing to pay the coin cuz its faster, but the other method beats flying over from tides. xD

    Not from Tides, just from Nightfire altar, lol. I used this method (flying from Netherspring camp) for lvl 60s JOJ mobs, which are west from DW, and to me it seemed to be a "lazier" way than flying from DW over the uneven area with higher level mobs. But now, with lvl 70s mobs.. lol, either just the old habit, or because flying over Archosaur is the least favorite part of my journey, where I always get stuck in the Chrono wheel or something other. So I would rather mindlessly autopath over the sea. But nevermind, I think it's not the only weird preference of mine that can't be explained with laws of logic.
