Harvesting a Peat Bog sucks

The quest where you need to get a Peat Bog harvested in under 9 seconds with other people is so hard.  If I manage to even get 3 people to help me (which believe me is SO hard), they either start digging before I can start the quest, it isn't a full bog, or they get peeved having to wait around and take off.

I'm just venting my frustration over a quest that is still incomplete after a week of begging, giving gifts/currants to people and just general whinging!!!

  • I never even bothered trying that quest during beta. But I know lots of people have done it, so maybe they will have some good advice.

  • The trick is to have friends. Friends that also have the same quest.

  • Thanks all - I have friends, but they are mostly levels above me and have the quest completed.  I may just wait until I find others in the same boat as me!

  • @BlueZombie:  I am also wating for people with this quest.  I am not in the world but I have this topic on screen.   Last I asked, the minimum was 5 people.  Let us wait for more than that.

  • You need 4 people. Go to your quest log, click " try it!" or whatever it says. You and your friends need to wait til the bog says, " empty me out!" then start digging.

  • You should really get 5 people, and the best way to do it is to ask for help in Global Chat, there are a lot of higher level players who have completed the quest who are very willing to help.  I've jumped into groups working on the quest before to help when they seem confused/disorganized.

  • I have this quest! This is one of those quests that I've just been postponing because it seems like an annoying hassle to try and get it done.

  • I actually did this last night. It was very frustrating. I suggest that you scope out a place with multiple full peat bogs so you can try multiple times. Get about 4 people who need to fill the quest and one person who already finished. The trick of it is that you have to do it one by one. If you need to finish the quest, you have to start digging first then everyone joins in. It doesn't take very long to empty the peat bog so you'll end up finishing the quest since you started it. Then you have to move to another peat bog for the next person to start and so on. It's a pain in the butt!

  • What's the point of the peat anyways?

  • The trick is to come on an Official Larky Peat Tour, hosted by yours truly :)

    edit: testing

  • +1 to a Larky Peat Tour, she has a whole system. And as Laurali said, it's a great idea to ask in Global Chat as there are plenty of old-timers who know how to coordinate a successful peat excursion. Leading peat digs is fun for a lot of us, so don't hesitate to ask!
