my first attempt:

okay first it says go to the centre of the city of raging tides, a 30 sec timer appears and the quest description says that Duke Blacke will give you a perfect token of luck for 1k coins. i went to archo to look for duke, found him, and he said something about i shouldnt believe and this bla bla bla. went back to raging tides and spoke to elder. quest failed of course.

my second attempt:

went to centre of city (again) 30 sec timer appears, and runs out. and i'm still standing here and the quest isnt progressing. how long do i have to wait? :3

    Just stand there. Three times it will say that Duke has something that's rare but you have to resist and just stay there. It doesn't take long, so you could get a drink while you wait. Just keep looking at your quest log every 30 seconds until it says "Return to elder" or something similar to that.

    stay close to the teleporter not somewhere in the new city
    best is just to keep standing at the place you were send to by the quest
    its impossible to always do the right thing we all make mistakes i am not different from that
    just try to be a good person

    The entire thing should take no longer then three minutes.

    Once the quest says to visit the Elder, you are done, as long as you go to the cords the Elder gives you and YOU DO NOT MOVE....until (once again) it says to talk to the Elder.

    Sorry to have caused barely a printout .. is because I am sad to not be able to do the quest!

    So the question asked me to go up to the local''667 125''.. appears after a time of 10 seconds .. appears after another time of 22 seconds!




    After these 22 seconds nothing happens! and also do not know what must do!

    What you must do is just stand there.

    If I remember right it goes through 3 timers then it tells you to talk ot the Elder. Once you reach that point then you can move.

    I am not sure if you are having some type of lag delay with the timer tbh b:surrender

    Some people, after all the timers have run out, didn't get the Elder quest. Relogging fixed it.

    Hence the lag comment on the bottom.....same thing happens in the Cube of Fate sometimes.

    And it was already mentioned for him/her to relog.

    This quest is evil. Saitada actually almost made it to Duke Blacke. Missed him by about a wing stroke on the timer each time.

    Really torked me lol till I went looking for info on the quest and saw this. Bloody evil evil quest. I love it!

    Am I really the only one reading what the NPC has to say?

    It's clearly 'And not move nomather what'. Why do you teleport halfway acros the world than?

    I've had a major problem with this quest....

    I waited and waited and waited (at the EXACT coordinates too), but it would never go on to the second and third Duke Blacke quest-things....the timer would run out on the first one, but wouldn't go on...and I waited for an hour before I gave up. (And I kept my quest log opened to keep an eye on it and it never once told me to return to the Elder.)

    This was when I was playing as my SailorRocket character (Venomancer; dunno if the class has anything to do with it or not...figured it might be a glitch or something....)

    If your timer sticks, log out and back in and it usually fixes it. I had to do that twice yesterday but was able to finish the quest.

    @sirrobert I stopped reading all the garbage from the quest dispatchers a long time ago, and took to only reading the last part of the quest description. It eliminated a huge amount of un-needed BS information.

    This is the only quest I have ran into that actually reading the info was helpful lol.

    I tried and tried with no luck. Finally decided to TRASH the quest , LOG OFF and request the Quest from the Elder again. I went to the exact location 667. 125 and just waited. There is a 30 sec wait, then another 30 sec wait and finnally a 1.0 minute wait. You then get called back to the Elder and get the final award

    Thanks for all the help guys and galsb:surrender

    When getting the quest, the elder clearly tells you "do not leave, no matter the circumstance". Why is that so hard for people to understand?

    Same thing for me. I can't finish it now, and I had thought I had to find Mr. Blacke.

    In case you're wondering, the items he has are 5 mirage celestones.

    ......You DO NOT LEAVE NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The moment you get to the tele area JUST SIT YOUR **** DOWN AND WAIT FOR THE TIMER TO RUN OUT. If the timer doesn't go to the second timer then just go to the character screen and log back in, and it'll show the second timer. then JUST WAIT IN MEDITATION UNTIL ALL THE TIMERS RUN OUT!


    After that it'll tell you to report back to the elder. Then Wa-la! Quest done!

    OMG this is the FUNNIEST thread I've ever seen!

    It is so funny when people who refuse to read get stumped & don't have a clue why they are failing in the game.

    READ!

    Reading is what RPG games are all about. It's a STORY & you are playing a ROLE. You are required to read what the characters in the story say to you. If you don't then you won't know what is going on.

    It's hilarious they are failing the test of willpower for lack of it.

    I say just let them. b:laugh


    They should really rename the quest to the Test of Laziness.

    The worst part is, the first time I did this quest I actually found Duke Blacke...and he had nothing for me. b:laugh

    Then I actually read what I'm supposed to do, and finished it the second time I did the quest.

    Geez... when I got the quest I was like "oh well, it's nice in theory, but who's going to fail THAT?". They even had to bring in "Ms Stupid" Dizzy failing the willpower test, since no real player would possibly fail it. I mean, it's still a game, so "willpower" doesn't really exist --- the character does NOTHING without the person in front of the screen hitting buttons. And if the quest says to not hit buttons, then you don't hit buttons. If the quest says to exit the airplane at 10000ft without a parachute, then you exit the airplane at 10000ft without a parachute. No problem.

    So I was indeed curious as to what they would present to the player. Invincible monsters coming at you, moving slowly, hitting slowly, but taking more than half your HP with the first hit, letting you wonder whether you should try and escape? Putting you into a poisonous cloud draining your HP, with the spot next to you obviously safe? Stuff like that, stuff that might make a player move around to avoid getting killed, under the assumption that he missed doing something terribly smart in advance and that staying there would fail the quest too since there's always the implication that you must survive to complete a quest.

    Apparently, it's not just "in theory". People never cease to amaze :-)
    Slow progress, game is getting way too grindy :-( Quests I still hope to be able to do some day: FB39, General Feng
