    To fight air mobs you need to be able to fly, so if you haven't any fly mount ( you can get a free one at lv30) try to press 'Tab key' until you find the mob you are looking for, try to hit it with a ranged magical skill so that will agro the mob and will go down to attack you.

    Not a free one it is lv30 req. But if you wanna acquire one from boutique you can get the lv10 req. ones, called Glaced Celestial & Soaring Centipede.

    at level 15, the supply stash will give you a free, time-limited (3 days) flyer. this can help a seeker's culti quest a lot. if you already wore out the timer on that one... staggering strike to aggro a low-flying one, run away to pull it down toward you, turn to attack.

    that's why you need to save items which has a time limit
    not to use them all at once
    i got that quest on my early lv19
    and i still have my flyer right there

    trash that quest

    that's a cultivation quest, it cannot be trashed or ignored.

    there are low-flying ones of this mob, look around. or get a friend to lure one down for you.

    There are pillars around one of the areas that are fairly tall, and the dragonflies fly close to it. I've found it easy to just jump up there and attack them with ranged attacks when the fly close enough.

    +1 That's exactly how I did it. Zeal genie helps to aggro them too, has a little more range than your ranged attacks.

    Alternatively, level to 30 and get the free permanent kite, then do the quest. Only takes about 6 hours or so to get to 30.

    ...waiting to level 30 to finish your level 19 culti, though... eesh, do people actually do such things?

    I got to level 30 on the EG starter area, realizing the quests seemed never-ending, before I was able to start the chain before 29 culti b:shocked. This was during the 2x exp event when EG were released.

    I did that quest when I didn't have any kite, and I managed to finish it by luring them down using my zeal's venom strike, then using staggering strike to finsh them off.

    the OP is a seeker, and so cannot wield a bow. (yes, this sucks. way they made the class, though.)

    For real? I thought bows were all class weapons, they don't have any restrictions on them other than dex which if he is using HA armor he should already have. Lvl 1 bow for the win :P damage is irreleavant would have just been for pulling.

    I tried it on cleric on frost heads but attack rate was too low so made more sense to use mag aoe and genie aoe.

    Sucks to be a seeker I guess then XD having a debuff bow at end game would have been epic.

    bows WERE all class weapons, until they decided to make seekers sword-only (and some middle manager went "and i meant swords ONLY dammit!" at the devs, i bet).

    it doesn't harm seekers too very much, they've got plenty of ranged attacks later on... but at level 19 before their culti they still only have a single one, and it's short-ish ranged. (staggering strike.) it's pretty much just this one quest that gets tricky; later on there's battousai and heartseeker to make up the shortfall.

    I had the same problem with my seeker. I teached my genie to tangling mire (aoe attk) and used that for luring. Then straggering strike and straggering strike. Or if you lucky you got zeal genie from Watcher of the Earth. b:chuckle
