Hey guys.

Ok so I am new here and I have this archer on 34 level and I decided to do the quest in which you have to kill this barbarian and report to general summers. My question is - Am I supposed to kill that guy alone ? Because he beats the living hell out of me ... I've read some of posts how to combo and I use aim low ,than atack , knockback arrow but he is fast and manages to get to me pretty fast...

NOT mentioning that I still must kill the big scorpion in the caves near Plume City. I follow pure dex build. I don't know what am I doing wrong ... Any tips guys ?

BTW - I play a female archer ... Yeah ... I know ... I am supposed to play male since I am a guy but hey - I preffer to look at ladies butt than guy's ;)

    The quest asks for you to kill Yansheng right?You're not suppsoed to solo him unless u got charms.That guy is a boss.Nothing wrong with you not being to solo him.I suggest you get a squad to kill him.
    What big scorpions inside.Do u mean the boss at the end or the normal scorpions inside.

    You're not doing anything wrong actually.U just gotta know which monsters are the bosses/mini bosses.Most of them u cannot do alone at your lvl so u ought to find a squad.If u don't have a faction to help,u shld go find one to help with your quest.im sure on any server,there must be some faction that wants to help ppl like you

    Thank you for your reply =] Wow I never got a reply that fast from a player. Thanks a lot =] I appreciate it. The scorpion I am taling about is the cave when you give the guarian Osamus wine or whatever. I think it is Poison Tail occultis.

    most quests that requires you to kill a boss, don't need to be soloed.

    and it's pretty simple to know wich monsters are boss type... they have cute drawings by the side of that little window that open when you click on them :D

    PWI is not designed to be done completely by yourself, OP. :)

    The Poison Tail Occultist quest is best known as "fb19." Just say in a crowded place that you "need to do fb19" and I guarantee you will get help (okay... more likely you'll get a team of relatively high levels who will plow through everything and beat the quest for you, but eh).

    Yansheng is similar, but you may have to wait longer for help. Just watch him for awhile and see who shows up to fight him, then try to join up with those people.

    I completely get the female character thing, btw. :P Never apologize for your choice of character gender. XD

    Unless you're a veno, you won't be able to solo Yansheng at level. Not even venos can solo Rend Razorjaw at level (Rend being the Untamed equivalent to Poison Tail Occultist), and Call to Duty quests are meant to be done by a squad. (You can't activate the quest unless 1) you're the squad leader, 2) you have the Call to Duty tablet in your inventory, and 3) you talk to the pillar ("tab") in either the entrance area or in the boss room inside the appropriate instance.
