    Duties, Tasks, and Deeds

    Because I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere, I thought I'd try posting here.

    I got my hands on a Sturdy axe while farming floor 100 on someone elses disc (and the mages staff lol), and I would like to take on the challenge of doing these quests to get the Conquerer out of it. I'll have my runic key in a few weeks after some more floor 100 farming and I shouldn't have too much trouble with the NM's situation for that first quest, hopefully.

    Anyways, for this second quest, Duties, tasks, and deeds, I was curious if one has to complete all four of the requirements? or just any specific combination of them? Or do we even know yet? I do einherjar regularily, after my disc is wiped i'll still be doing nyzul to help my friends get their own discs for runic keys so i'll have a source of token income, the redoing all the assaults doesn't seem terrible, moreso tedious, and could be a serious conflict with the nyzul thing, and yeah i know we have to wait to find out about the alexandrite thing (i have 1 so far...go me -_-).

    Thanks in advance.

    I think you need to do all 4, but that's just a good guess. The update is right behind the corner though, so the quests might change too, along with reduced # of alexandrites you'll need.

    Might want to check out http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59881 It has some of the info you want as well as Almalexia's experience with obtaining Alexandrites.

    a related question: can 6 people all get the clear for the logbooks (thingies you trade to the rune for the assault re-clear portion of the quest) in 1 run by each trading the logbook to the rune, or does the act of trading a logbook count as checking the rune and exiting, thus allowing only 1 person per run to clear it? i'm inclined to think the former (all 6 can) but a friend of mine made the latter claim. i think he's speaking from speculation, but if anyone knows for a fact either way, it would be nice to hear confirmation so i can more accurately calculate the numbers needed to discern how long it would take for a group of 6 people working together (since nyzul takes a huge chunk of time and 6 people are required, plus clearing all assaults w/ a guarantee of success is more likely with 6) to build 6 mythics, up to the point of the alexandrites, ofc.

    assume no failures and we'll add a correction % at the end. assuming that 1 clear on an assault is good for everyone, the time to get 6 runic keys starting from scratch is 100/5*6=120 days to get 6 keys. tack on another 15 runs at 100 or so to get all 6 weapons targeted by the players. all those runs will surely be enough to generate enough tokens to buy the book since you have to climb to 100 6 times, only once on your own disk, so that's a 0 cost. 50 assault clears means 50 days, so we're up to 185 days. titles can be earned while climbing to 100, and the eyepatch should be cake for anyone doing einherjar 2x a week (figure about 2100 amps per run, 100000/2100=48 runs or 24 weeks.) providing they're not buying scads of rubber harnesses for their creepy backroom activities. alexandrites are buyable, so i'm assuming you can get those on your own dime w/o calculating in a time for that. assume a 5% failure rate on assaults/nyzul and you're looking at only about 195 days. somewhere between half and 2/3 of a year to build 6 mythics. not great, but not alltogether that bad. this ofc assumes that there's not some additional huge requirement added in the next update.
