This quest needs some fixing. As is, it’s possibly one of the most tedious and frustrating world/daily quests devised in the game’s history.
- The run is long and slow. 650-700 yards strait line to the first npc (Requisitioner Kem), but with turns and running around NPCs is probably closer to 850-900 yards.
- Requisitioner Kem has a patrol that potentially (but not always) makes him extremely difficult to loot. I have failed on him probably 6-10 times more than the other two NPCs combined.
- The density of the stealth detecting npcs combined with their patrol routs through narrow corridors or right past other npcs makes trying to get to the mission npcs even more tedious and annoying.
- The worst part is if the player gets thrown from stealth -either by messing up or just dumb luck - I’ve gotten thrown into combat a couple of times because of other players getting into combat. Losing stealth makes the player start over at the start point. This is incredibly frustrating.
Fixes that should be considered to make this wq less painful:
- Fewer pats, especially right at the quest npcs.
- Give players a speed buff so the long run isn’t as painful
- Lower density of stealth detecting mobs
- Allow players to restealth if they get thrown into combat, instead of making them start completely over.
They give you a temp power that stuns the target so if said NPC is patroling hit him with that then loot him. That same thing has a range that’s just outside the range of the ones that see through stealth. Hit them with that and you can get by them without being unstealthed.
I am aware of this. I have done this wq several time. It’s still annoying and tedious to the point of being one of the worst ever. And bad luck (like someone else getting into combat and dragging it over you and pulling you in) can really screw this quest up.
This is quite possibly the easiest WQ, my frustration comes from those who attack the lootable target. So I just sit and wait. Here is how to do the quest…
- Do not touch anything.
- Do not let anything touch you.
- …
- Profit.
Simple as.

That’s the only issue I have with that WQ as well. Though I wonder if the dudes with lanterns are a hazard as well as the dudes that can see through stealth. Though really anything’s a hazard if it gets close enough.
Here just to bump this, as there are those that don’t have intellect on their gear. You can complete this quest by not being an idiot.
Wow. F- for trolling and thread necroing. I didn’t say I couldn’t complete it. I’ve completed it many times on many characters. I said it was tedious and frustrating and could use some fixing.
Try reading the original post next time before you call someone an idiot.
I have read the thread, and it isn’t as necroe’d as you think it is. My alt pointed out the same thing days ago. You wish to attack me personal, that is fine. You made the thread, just don’t attack those that respond.
