Bring back Tankabon

[bois]

I was discussing some of the old days with my clan mates and I realised something. Many of the long time players of Ignis miss Tankabon.

Tankabon to me, was a very iconic MOB to the realm. It is a rite of passage and a graduation from the initiation zone.

Tankabon was the mob that would snap you back to reality. You are a young player in the noob zone killing everything in your wake, you buy into the idea that you are the next hero and legend of the realm then....
You come across good old tanky. You think to yourself , that skele dosen't stand a chance against your might and you rush in solo, ignoring the quest warning. After a short while you resurrect at the altar with your tail between your legs, wondering what went wrong. Then reality kicks in. You realise that you were not as all powerful as you thought you were.
You get some friends or make some new ones and you all march up there and after a battle, sweet success. You are now ready to head outside. If you were lucky you got the mace as well. Nowadays the mace and skull are collectors items.
Tanky was such a legend even lvl 50 players would run back to help kill it off.

Now we have the spider queen and lich Barukahn and sadly both do not live up the legend that is Tankabon.

I say bring Tankabon out of retirement. But, don't put him back in the initiation zone. Place him in that little canyon just below Altaruk Altar, make him a little harder and place him in a level 12 quest.
Every Ignean new and old should be able to experience the Tankabon quest. It is a part of what it is to be a proud Ignean.

The old quest for nostalgia:

"Apprentice Assignment III"

It has been no coincidence that your previous training has been taking place in Tankabon's Domains. Your assignment will teach you the power of friends. You will once again travel into the mountains to the south of Nasraah Tej to Tankabon's Domains, but it is advised that you find 5 others to assist you.

Tankabon was an Elite Guard that was posted in our town to oversee the welcoming and training of those like yourself who want to join the guard to fight for Ignis. But something happened to him. He began to change. The enchanter of our town had never seen anything like it and we sent word back to the homeland to see if the council could give advice but it was too late.

One morning, he was found dead. I am telling you this because you are going to go into Tankabon's Domains once again, but this time to kill him. I know it is hard to understand, and the council has not given us any information on why this has happened, but what is important is Tankabon has risen, and the fury of killing that made him a killing machine against our foes he now turns on his own people.

Go and kill 5 Fragile Skeleton and find and kill Tankabon. Return to me when you have completed the assignment.
