Annoying Waiting for Golden Scarab Vest

Hi all,

I'm finding this artifact to be one of the most annoying features to ToA. You spends hours sometimes days killing Setian's to gain the faction needed to enter the camp to speak with Tey (Thanks Brighdassa), then you spend even more time killing the Prism Scarabs, being a Bard I need to ask for help which took a couple of days, but finally it worked out (Thanks Gesta, Scotticus).

When you finally get the 50 Magical Scarab Wings you have to hand them in 1 by 1 to Tey to get the Gloves so you can pick up the Golden Scarab Vest. So you sit there in the location of where the Vest appears. 1 hour goes by, then 2 and by the time you now it 8+ hours have gone by. Then after reading VoS it says the Vest can take up to 24 hours to spawn.

WTF THE MYTHIC/GOA

You expect us to go out get all this stuff done only to wait hours apon hours to get the Vest which if your afk just a few minutes and someone comes along and takes it you have to wait yet another up to 24 hours ?!?!?!?!?!

I pray that in NF or 1.71 this quest is sorted out because it's one major pain in the arse.

There I feel better now :)

Thats me :(
Been waiting for 1 week, about 5 to 20 hours some days, it never spawns, and all that i do is see other frustrated players waiting for it. I hope something is done with this soon, cause it has to be bugged when nobody gets it.

Used to be much much worse when ToA first came out. Left ranger there for 3 days with chatlog running, no-one picked it, finally spawned after some stupid amount of time. About 80 odd hours iirc.

As Spudgie said it used to be a lot worse.

Handing in the wings doesnt make the chest pop, they are completely separate afaik. If the chest isnt there, dont wait for it, log an alt there and check the spot every day.

Like I told Lusitana and another Ranger or it could have been within guild chat. When you hand in those 50 Magical Scarab Wings Tey should give you the GSV not a stupid pair of Gloves.

Faction took a couple of hours, oki the wings took a bit longer...maybe 4 hours, and the pop of the vest was 8 or so. I found it awful, and really not worth it...never tried GoV though, I've heard it's worse due to campage. =)

I was with a bunch of guild mates tonight for a couple of hours killing all the Setian's in Land of Atum. We killed all the creatures there and not one of them dropped the Bence's Letter 2 of 3 or 3 of 3.

I would rather spend hours apon hours farming these scrolls instead of paying the overpriced fee's that people are charging for them. It will take a while for the prices to come down, but if these people took the time and understood if they had lower prices they will sell faster and they won't stay in the merchents for months on end just collecting dust because a scroll you need cost 7p+.

The time on artifact mobs is rediculous

every other mmorpg wich comes out (and has come out) tries to eliminate ther fact as much as possible that players never have to wait for mobs, they make private dungeons etc etc.

And what does mythic.. they make a monster that everyone wants to kill just spawn once every 40 hours or so..
Going to be even more fun with gem of the lost memories..

this game is utterly broken atm imo.

Handed in Wings, no vest, returned next morning and it was there... less then 8 hours after completing the encounter. Best thing to do:

Or just check once in a while.

Asq,

Thats what i'm doing now is just checking back and forth. All the time i've spent over the past couple of days I could have made a couple of plat and maybe even got a few moment artifacts to complete my Bard ToA Template.

Emailing Goa doesn't change the spawntimers as we don't have a thing to do with it. Mythic designed the spawn system.

By this statement I take it you are saying the spawn is not bugged, just slow spawning?
