The Canyon Guides Is The Worst

This quest had to be made by someone who detests the whole human race. The AI for the escort is more busted than fuck and the rockslides are the most degenerate thing invented. I hate myself for even attempting this quest.


but seriously this quest is busted

 

well, if you have a weak weapon, you can hit the guy across (or at least i think so, don't remember details) with spells (oof mage)

but anyway, usually just remember where the rockslides are and wait them out, even the last big one doesn't actually block you from going through (just climb over)

 

Seluc has a short sight range, so just walk slowly. He's good at keeping up with you, really; just take your time. It takes me...maybe five to seven minutes? Not even?

 

Seven minutes is too long ree
/s

 

He aggros minions whenever he sees them and gets himself killed easily. and then you get avalanched and have to try again

________________________________

Its not the seven minutes thats annoying, its that the quest feels like a chore, why do i need to do chores in a game, quests should be fun and not mind-numbingly boring. If i want to do escort quests ill go play the new fuckoff edition of assassins creed

 

He can only see enemies if they're a couple of blocks away(literally 2-3), and he has a grand total 16000 health, AND you can't damage him with your attacks. Unless you're trying to lead him into hordes, he should never die. The lowest I've ever seen him go is 14000 or so. Plus, he deals a respectable amount of damage to them, about 800 a second, so he can kill an enemy in about five-six seconds along that path while only taking about 1000 damage, provided you give no assistance.

 

that’s kinda the point of the avalanches... they’re a hurdle of the quest.. they aren’t hard to just wait out either.

 

He's died for me multiple times because he aggros through walls and goes into water and whatnot.
Anyway the point is this quest isn't fun, and I don't know if you made this quest or not but I'll assume you did since you are defending it quite adamantly. That's my opinion, and it's what i'll continue thinking because I didn't find this quest fun. Why do I have to restart the 7 minute segment every time that idiot dies or gets caught in an avalanche. It's a CHORE. I don't play wynncraft to do chores. Challenges are fine, thats not what i'm complaining about. I'm complaining about the challenge not being fun. There's plenty of ways this quest could be made less of a chore such as making him not aggro at all, or making him more farsighted, just small things that don't make this quest a complete fuck.

Edit: Please don't take this as a personal attack, I'm sure that you've made great content and amazing creations during your time in the CT. This just wasn't one of them (imo)

 

*took 30 mins for me*

 

Well, I don't expect much reaction from the CMD who made this quest other than you calling his work trash, they got lives man, they got lives, not to mention they voluntarily work on Wynncraft D:

 

Idk I found this quest to be pretty easy... you basically just lead him straight south in a very simple path anyway.

 

If you’re assassin, just multihit him to the end. Otherwise, use crowd control spells to keep mobs away from him and aggroed on you, and walk slowly.

 

I didn't make this, another CT member, Tantibus, did. I'm defending it cause everyone finds it so awful and horrible but it's extremely easy...

Again, due to his vision being so short, unless you're walking directly into groups of mobs he should never die. He tends to follow behind and to the left or right by a couple of blocks, so you do need to account for that, but the avalanches can just be waited out for a couple of seconds, and then walked over. It only kills him if he gets caught in the rockslide, rather than if he is in that area at all.

We can't make him not aggro, cause of our limited AIs. The only way to make him follow you is to give him an AI that makes him follow you and also attack enemies if one is in his sight range. There's no just "follow" AI.

We also can't feasibly make his sight range shorter; as stated, and you can test this for yourself, he can only see three blocks away at best. If we make it any shorter, he'll fail to follow you.

 

Just be careful when multihitting near the end.

*Insert lots of "This is madness! No, this is Bantishu temple!" flashbacks*

 

I don’t know how to help you but try to kill every mob that approach you, always stay close to the NPC and using f5 can help you.

a quest being easy doesnt make good. old star thief was easy. old maltics well was easy. etc. this quest is so fucking useless and unnecesary, it just adds to the insanely over-filled 69-89 quest range serving no purpose other than "hey, take a clump of xp from an unnecesary quest with no lore or anything of importance.
