Today I delivered it when it had still 3 seconds on the track system to finish (when it reached 0 the npc was still there for more few seconds anyway...) and the quest simply failed ... I've killed arround 10 mobs b:cry
Any information about it ?

    Had it moved out of range? With moving NPCs like this, you have to be sure to get in front before trying to deliver the quest, or it will fail (and not tell you it failed.)

    I saw the caravan thingy appear, and tried to defend it, but it died xD, i couldnt aggro the mobs and they were immune to damage o.o

    You have to be in PK mode, and hold down CTRL while attacking, to damage the mobs attacking the caravan.

    Well I was right in the NPC's point when I ended but due to delay or some lag this may be the reason of the failure :c
    Sad because the npc may spawn mobs only on last 3 secs and then you have not enough time to kill it and go back to NPC's front to delivery b:shutup

    Pk mode. But I've not had to hold down CTRL.

    Also quest has 2min timer. So hand it in like with 30 secs left.

    Pretty sure the mobs spawn at specific spots. So dont take the quest as soon as the convoy spawns but when the group of mobs spawn unless you're not alone.

    The exp you get goes up exponentially with mob count. Like top end 20m+ from what I've got from it so far.

    2:30 timer, specific points but random if they will spawn or not

    160k/mob, linear ( reduced for lower levels)

    Yea some days I swear I clicked to finish quest before the timer was done and while in range but somehow didnt get the reward. I do think it might be lag or just the cart getting out of range...but most days i finish it with like 30 secs to go.

    The number of mobs is very variable...one day I had the cart all to myself in the morning and only 4 mobs spawned^^ Walked the whole distance pretty much with the cart and only 4 mobs.

    But most days I get between 12-20 mobs.

    Still wish they would make this quest able to be completed while blue named...i really do hate the idiots who PK me when in white name on a PVE server. Even had some follow me around after the caravan quest killing me repeatedly sigh.
