Just so ya know, this smuggler was a character that materialized - I think with a blocky head and wearing a trench coat - not just some Glitchen or something I'm joking about... The croc was maybe a roaming beaurocroc?
I got asked to carry a package the other day too, I was in Kalavana and the smuggler just appeared up out of the ground in a bright light! He asked me if I would transport this package and I had the option to say yes or no, of course I said yes. He told me that I couldn't tela-port
or take the subway, I had to carry it about 4 or 5 blocks from where I was and the beaurocroc
keep popping up and trying to get the package, well he finally cornered me and got it, but it was really exciting there for a few minutes! ......I wonder what was in that brown paper package.........
Artilect, that's not quite true. I've successfully completed the Smugger Quest, and all you have to do is jump over the deimaginator. You can't touch them at all, so you have to jump and not graze them -- but they pass under you just fine.
It was pretty awesome. What I did was enter the streets slowly as the deimaginator seemed to appear on each street. Then I just run and jumped over him as he approached. I got a diamond as a reward, sweet:)
I got cornered by a smuggler in West Spice, naturally said yes, and then jumped down onto the deimaginator from a ladder in Guilberto Gamera, I think- I never actually saw him, but he apparently saw me.
I was asked to smuggle, but was quickly caught. I hope I'm asked to smuggle again, it was exciting, new and fun and *so* disappointing when I was caught. :-D
I went to the lands of Spice, but asked someone and was told it was only for the one day. I think I was misinformed; but definitely hope I can attempt to do some smuggling starting tomorrow!
I got to do the quest three times last test - I managed to successfully complete it twice and got caught once. (Got cocky and started harvesting and doing other things while taking the package to its destination. :P ) I'm seriously hoping to get asked to smuggle things next test since it'd be great to get a diamond to help with the early expenses. :D
Screen saves of the smuggler's quest - there is only one shot of one street.. but there were several streets I had to travel to my destination, always with one - sometimes two deimaginators waiting to attack.
ETA - someone asked in another post if you can peek in the package - NO - you never get to "hold" it.
I got to try the quest at the end of my playing this last test...what fun. I failed in getting the package to the destination...jumped a bit soon and just grazed the deimaginatator (or whatever it was called)...but it was fun. Actually for me, the contraband was in my inventory, and I could look at the info page for it, but couldn't do much else with it...I don't think...will be better prepared the next time...it was definitely a fun side trip/game!
I just had the smuggler quest, made it past the crocs and reached my destination. Waited there for a while but no one showed up, so I stupidly dropped the contraband and lost it :( Gutted.
