Syrtis - N help with quest :(

[Foggia]

Well I have sometimes problems with quests like "Get Rune Stone from Goblin Shaman Master"
1st time - getting smth from adult wolfes - I was counting - 1st day I killed 57 Adult wolfes (yes, on Sum eylis) - nothing. 2nd day I started the same - it dropped after 4th killed wolf.

Now I have problems with Goblin Shaman Masters - Im in Myil forest and trying to get Rune Stone - made half lvl 26-27 (120 exp from each shaman) and nothing :(
I was restarting game several times - doesnt help
How does getting these quest items work?
Is it normal to look for them for so long time?

[murkelgnom]

Yep, thats normal.
I had to kill more then 100 of them to get the runestone.

[brammie2118]

yes, it's all random. but it seems more like 10% chance to get it...

but i got that after 4 kills...

Just so you know, restarting the game doesn't help *at all*. You can't restart the server, can you?

I remember this quest.

I made it a few days after the game started officially.

There were nearly no Goblin Shaman Master available, so it took me 2 days to make the quest...

I didnt mean restarting server. I didnt restart game just to help with quest - just when I had no more time to play I started game l8er, or when I was tired of searching.

Btw tested it with 2 charrs - 1st had problems with wolfes, but found runestone after 4 tries. This one found rune from wolfes after 2-3 tries but had big problems with shamans.
What helped?
Restarting quest - after that I found stone after killing 2nd shaman.
I think it should be casual these items drop after few tries and its buggy, or it happens when we do smth wrong that sometimes we need so much time to get it.

It's random man :) I got them relatively quickly, apparently you didn't. Frustrating, but random. Actually, most quests to get items from monsters seem to be random once you get into the level 20s.

Well now I tested it a bit
I had quest to get 3 pelts from Wild Sabertooth.
Went on Emerald hills and during fight accidently I went back to Sum Eylis - didnt get Pelt.
When I came back to Emerald hills I killed 10 Sabertooths - didnt get any pelt
Canceled and took quest again - went to Emerald hills without leaving it - 3 pelts from 3 Sabertooths in a row.

So its not completely random (I dont believe in such coincidences, sry). Seems when u get info u entered "quest area" u cant leave it (inlcuding dying) until u take what u have to get.

No, I'm pretty sure that it's coded into the game to be random.

The random function used in Regnum doesn't seem to have an even distribution, and myself I hate it (like resists in a row on a mob).

maybe they should put 'randomize timer' on the beginning of the program :D
