    i missed it, as usual. and i leveled my templar only to discover she was one of the ones who doesn't have the newsies quest yet.

    I actually check my email even less frequently than I check the forums, so alerts to my email do me no good.

    I tend to get focused on whatever task I've set myself to, and don't even think about chat while I'm doing so, so I also tend to miss when the guides announce themselves.

    I probably would have missed Ferugly yesterday, if it were not for my daughter picking the kids up right when she did. Knowing that Ferugly would be there such a short time after I logged on, I was able to keep myself from becoming absorbed elsewhere, hehe. Otherwise, 99% of the time, I do tend to miss the guides.

    Well, at least your Templar is leveled, so when you do get newsies on her, you can just quickly do it. I have newsies on all my alts, but have yet to level them enough to be able to actually work the quest. I've done it on three of my ten characters, thus far. :)

    yeah, but i had put the newsies quest on about 10 of the alts on that account. i thought she was one of them. instead, she is one of the 4 who doesn't yet have it. hopefully i won't miss it when they give it out again. i camped her in obol just in case. i was wondering though. usually you get more status for doing a quest the higher you are in level. on the wiki, it claims the newsie is exactly opposite. it says that you get more status the lower level you are. is that true or is it a mistake in the wiki?

    Tomorrow (01-10-16) A dragon and perhaps some of her siblings will be at the Lighthouse in Antonica to tell the story of Little Red Riding Gnome and Goldie Locks Gnoll. Drop by and take part in the telling

    i have a question about newsies. i was doing one this morning and got called to the door. the ordeal turned lengthy. when i got back, my bottle was gone. now i am missing a bottle and can't finish. can someone please tell me what to do now? i went to every site and no extra bottle anywhere.

    edit after about an hour, the mob repopped. i was able to send her on her journey again and got my bottle. good to know there is a remedy even though it was frustrating. i wish for two things- that the bottles would not be able to be picked up by other people and that they would stay until you finish the quest so you can come back and get the one you didn't get

    Greetings Maj'Dul!

    Your call has been heard and a spirit will be stopping by on Thursday 1/14/16 around 430pm PT in Obol Plains looking for your assistance in the Ethernere. I hope to see you there!

    Note : All times shown are in PT. Please also remember that the actors for these events are players just like you who volunteer their time in the Guide Program and events may be canceled or delayed without notice.

    thats 1pm NZT Friday... and as usual .. working. Sigh, I have resigned myself to being the only player on Maj'dul who is never going to get the Newsies :(

    yeah i have to admit it is hard to try to accomodate everyone's schedules. it seems that when one person is working, others are off. if they choose a weekend, others work that day. it is hard on the guides because they are volunteers who have families and jobs and other things in real life they are dealing with and then sometimes, they would like to be able to play too. after all, guides are players. you can send the main guides a message via the forum however. i am sure if you contact them they will try to see if they can get someone out during a time you can be on. i am not a guide of course so it is only a suggestion.

    While I cannot promise for certain if you give me a time you will be on (I'm in Central time USA) we may be able to poke the spirits enough to get them on.

    Yeah time conversions are a pita. But they were great when I used to raid lol. Lets see...Friday/Saturday - at 4pm PT would work, (being my Sat/Sun 1pm), otherwise looking at a minimum of 9 pm PT for sun-thurs (that works out to be 6pm here).

    I know I got Newsies once on Zaphaeyl himself from a late night guide, I wish I could remember the name. Its just my other toons id really like to get it for. Once I know a time that works, in advance, I can park all my alts for quick /camping in Obol itself.

    I think Guides are awesome for taking the time to provide such a fun addition to the game, I just wish I could make it to more of the events :)

    Good luck to everyone getting Newsies quest tonight! Even more, I wish the guide an uneventful and happy good time. I know how difficult it must be to get mobbed as they do while giving out this quest, and my heart reaches out to them. I'd come visit even though I don't need the quest, but I don't want to add any stress or duress to their already busy visit to our server. I just want them to know how much they are appreciated. :)

    Is the Newsies quest repeatable?

  18. Fyuri Active Member

    no. the bag is lore and the quest can only be done once per toon
