Please fix the 'Quick as the wind' quest as no one can hand in their tokens as no NPC appears afterwards

If he's gonna be late, tell him to bring a note from his mother will ya!!

    Yes, if you are slow as a tortoise (or even more laggy than me during event...), NPC in north-west archo will be gone. He disappears when 99 characters got their reward.

    Btw. I joined just 5x and I was always very laggy (mobile connection), couldn't click on teleporters for a minute or longer and so on. But I always managed it to get rewards on two characters, 8x ecstasy card, 2x 50 event gold. I suppose we get event cards instead of 10m notes? Because I didn't see anyone winning them yet.

    Even after Quick as Thunder Npc disappear Quick as Wind npc invite players to participate in this event.

    And remember there are 99 winners only, so if someone win, then other one no, it is dependent from number of participants in contest, their initial speed (barbarians are fastest), used pills, skills (stealth is one of the best), equipment , speeding - up character.

    I myself not participate in contest since 2 empty runs.

    Also exist possibility (exploit) to clear fb19 instances up to the bosses beforehand and then teleport there, but again - it is exploit.

    Ironic as it is, it's a feature where an instance can be kept open for 4 hours unless you reset it, not much of an exploit... Just, creative usage of a feature... or something

    Well, maybe later, semi-retired.

    Same I can say about fc feature, which gave level 105 players to our game.

    It is removed though (like exploit).

    The goonz thing? That actually is a glitch/exploit that still exists, they didn't remove it, they just nerfed the xp the goonz give and thus rendering it useless to abuse.

    In bh instances if someone run using stealth to boss (skipping mobs), then boss do more damage to player. It is designed to prevent such "features".

    That's just the 69, 79, TT and LG instances though... the event needs the level 19 instances.
    Even if that was the case, nothing that 2 bottles of wine can't fix for the first 2.

    And even IF the bosses in all other fb instances, 19 to 99, are frenzied, simple fact is that in the 19 cave most people can just pull all mobs around, throw a few AOE's and then kill boss, it'll just take... 1~5 seconds more. And the fact that one could wine it if they really wanted to.

    You can just keep an alt in the instance to keep it opened, it's as simple as that, it's a feature that has been in there since I don't know when. It's how they designed to work.
    That they decide to make an event based on the instances is their decision, maybe a poor one because they could've seen this coming from miles away.

    Instances are good place for events.

    I had proposed it myself.

    Give us Wraith Attack Tickets for those accounts, which were not in NW.

    All problems can be solved in such way.

    Level range must be same as for NW.

    Awards must be calculated according earned points for Ticket owners.
    Edit:
    As I know Cube is PvP instance. Let PvE players to play in PvE instances.

    But it must be corrected according gathered information about pluses and minuses of current event (s).

    I never had the issue that I can't enter an FB19 instance (or any other one). Even when I repeated the event with alts just for title. I read in forum that some get pk'ed at entrance of FB19s while they try to enter.

    Are some people really THAT stupid and DON'T use the illusion stones to enter the instances??? Comon..., imo those ppl don't deserve any reward. Everyone gets even tele stones to be faster, just use them.

    Tele to illusion stone with tele stones,
    enter instance,
    run to boss and kill it,
    stealth,
    townport to NPCs in cities to get title item + teleportation items,
    tele to west archo with tele stone,
    run to NPC to get final reward.

    And nowadays you even can stealth with ANY class (to avoid slow-down debuffs and be able to tele out faster after boss kill) with stealth pills. This stealth mode is infinite (till mana burns out/you attack something/you dc/log out...).

    The only problem with this event is the huge lag.

    talk to NPC->Teleport stone to west arch->port into instance->magic shadow pill->holy path+charger orb to Boss->AOE kill boss->town portal->teleport stone to Arch (Collect prize first!!!) -> tele to NPC to get stones+title items, 1min 30secs :P

    Magic shadow pill is a 5 min stealth pill free from Mulberry daily quest, can be used by lvl 95 and above.
