Just got back from vacation and wanted to get helmet trophy for my shaman and did the mission...but apparently in the patch notes it says: - Liquid Courage - A Flask of Fire Water no longer incorrectly sends messages regarding a bonus objective. The real method to obtain the objective does not involve this item." Anyone know how to get the item now? Tried the old way and clicked the Fire Water but nadda...Any info would be great. Thanks!
Lol, thanks for the reply Durz. I ran it again and still didn't get it for my shaman. Tried about everything I could think of. Weird!
First time I tried I fought a couple on the bridge over the trench but was trying to avoid the ogres so moved to the gate. Got the red text *ERROR* on 2 characters. Tried a bunch of things, still tried clicking fire water. Tried Drinking the crafted ale, handing one in etc. Nothing. After reading Durz's post and seeing the name of the bonus "Rivers Run Red" and how he got the update on the bridge, I tried again fighting on the bridge and in 2 missions got 2 helms (one each that is). I'm thinking the bonus is for slaying mobs over or maybe even in the trench.
Did the mission twice yesterday for my alt shaman and a guildie. We were killing pigs since they die faster due to not using that defensive buff that the ogres use. We were only looting the armor pieces on one toon that didn't have the helmet. About 35 minutes in to the mission whoever was looting the armors got the helmet. Still not quite sure what actually gives the bonus seeing Horgh and Durz's posts up above. Thanks for the input Horgh and Durz!
Can consistently repeat getting a trophy by killing a mob at the 45 minute mark, while in the ravine.
Tried slaughtering mobs in the trench and on the bridge for several missions, while I did randomly get awarded twice out of 6 missions ran, this doesn't seem to be the 100% sure way of doing the bonus to get the helm as one of those missions I got the helm by killing at zone in. I'm starting to lean towards you have to kill 30ish or so mobs to unlock the bonus and only 1 person gets awarded the helm for that mission. Although I'm only 20% sure this is the method to unlock the bonus, unless someone else has some ideas?
We got it.... not. Bonus Objective: 'Rivers Run Red' Complete. Golden Helm of Rallos Zek Awarded to ###ERROR
Tried Qbert's idea, twice. Killed pigs in the trench both times. At 5:17 and 5:16 remaining in our quest, the red text appeared and random person got the trophy. The first pass we killed pigs steady. The second time, we just slowly root-rotted them one at a time. The kill count didn't seem to matter, just the mission time. Around 40-45 minutes into the mission. If I'm bored later, one of my boxes doesn't have it yet. I'll go in and just camp the trench for 45 minutes and see what happens.
Did it just recently, and we received the message while out of combat at the center gate (we were just inside the field of strife). This was during the escort phase. Not sure who it tried to award it to, but they already had it, and so we got the *ERROR* message. Others in group still needed it.
Sorry, I guess I should have added the fact that every time we ran g he mission with any mercenaries, it would error out....likely attempting to give the reward to a merc. Every time we got it to award the trophy to someone that needed it we ran the mission without any mercenaries.
So it sounds like either 40 minutes into the mission or some time after you give the minotaur his armor, are either of those the trigger that starts the script that awards the trophy? And the script can award it to *ERROR*, which I assume means the script is trying to give it to a merc. That should probably be fixed so that it rewards it only to players. And preferably ones that don't already have the trophy, too.
They fixed the script being on an easy to get item, you also expect them to fix it so it works correctly? This isn't an easy-mode wow game with i-win buttons, mister.
As far as my group can tell, it seems to now award it randomly to someone in the task after a matter of time.
Yes. Two players, one with the trophy one without. No mercs. Started the mission, talked to the guy in the castle, sat afk in a trench for 45 minutes. One without the trophy got it.
That's kind of an odd way to give out a bonus. You'd think doing the task in under 45 minutes would reward it, not zoning in, afk for 45, getting your trophy.
What about players who have the trophy but have placed it and it's no longer in their inventory or bank? I have my trophy but the checkmark is not checked because the trophy is not in my possession.
