Fools bow arti fubared?

[Skaven]

Just been down there for the last 3 hours looking for the argo. Not one ran from me, and ive been litreally through the whole lot of them inches away from em and they aint flinched. Someone chased the one carrying the bow to some abscure location or something?

 

[Red HATred]

it's the only octopussy that will swim away from you when you swimm between fishes stealthed, mate

some location where he has been killed are; Bottom of the pit near the pile of stones. He will be swimming near the wall leading up to desmonia's island.
Also been killed at sea level near the harpies hoovering above the water...

all i can say. Hope it helps a bit.

cheers

i tried for hours looking for a one that swam away

in the end i got a tip from a fellow scout

its one of the ones swimming right at the surface

so i just started pulling the very top ones and bingo, 5 pulls later the bow dropped. This argo didnt run when I pulled it and only ran after getting it down to about 20% in melee.

the drop is slightly bugged as well as it doent stay near the dead mob. you should be able to face it and swim towards it till you can stick to the arti.

in the end my bow dissappeared and i ended up raising a right now with a few screeenies. next night the bow was in my inv

Cheers for the input chaps.
Spent another few hours today trying both techniques, and others but to no avail. few other scouts around there now after mentioning it on here so i'll leave em to it I think.
Can see exactly why its called fools bow :/

well.. personally I waited two weeks for pop and eventually when it happened, someone else tried to compete for it, so I whined on guild chat and got about 6 people to help out, got it in 5 mins.

Did this quest last week or so, the argo that dropped it was at the bottom of the pit, none of them acted strangely or ran when i got near - only during combat did some run, even ones without the bow.

From what i've read about this quest and my own experiance, it would appear the bow could be picked up by any of the argos, top, middle, or bottom, and none of them will act strangely while holding it.

Best thing to do is get in some pbaoe and kill them all that way, rather then trying to solo 100 argos

I´ve been there for quite a while as well today (sorry again for that one leech-kill woodspice, really didn´t see you ) and swam around stealthed. Noone ran away, noone was flickering. I even had a Necro guildie there and we masskilled them... no drop. :/
Either the encounter is bugged, or the Octo can stealth now.

My guild has done the arti 4 times, the only way to be sure is too kill them all
starting at the top. Then just work your way down, don't kill respawns, they do all look and act the same. Just kill them all 4 peeps should do it easy.
