Escorts quest again

[DragonMage 0]

Hi All

 

I know the escort quests are a pain, but is there anybody that can help me complete this one, I am tired of trying to keep him alive.

 

The Customer

Act 7, Guy going on a tour of the desert.

Location: Turbak Coast

 

Thanks

Haven't done this quest myself and it isn't also described at the wiki.

Are you sure the questname is the customer? Isn't it Lost, where an orc is lost near East Turbak and wanted to go to the coast to get a boat?

In most cases you can use the resurrection monolith, but unfortunately the nearest one near Turbak is the one at Tharum.

Just use the commands stay near me and attack as group. In that way he stays right behind you. Be sure that you stay before him all the time.

Not quite 100% sure.. BUT.. I think he's possibly refering to Adventure Tours - the one where you meet Capt Jack Karrow on the beach who wants you to take his client on a tour... First you gotta take him to East Turbak, then down to Scorpion Island - where THE most venomous scorpions hang out and dig up some treasure and then back to Capt Jack.

 

If that's the case.. It ain't easy. He's one of those NPCs you have to escort that tend to run like headless chickens and the baddies in the area tend to view as lunch. They go chasing after HIM, instead of having their attention on you. So you'd have to chase after the scorpions, turtles and sand people who are chasing after him - all while making your way to the target areas... Not so easy. It's enough to make you wanna scream!

 

I kinda got lucky in the first part when I ran the quest... He eventually ran right into East Turbak - the first stop so it was a question of taking the initiative and running inside. On the 2nd leg, not so much. He kept going further away and got himself killed.

 

No easy way to go about this one. Ranged weapons are almost mandatory, also combat arts that can do damage at a range. If you've got the Shadow Warrior, reflective emmanation is a must - along with the mod that allows you to pass RE on to your party members. Make sure that one's cranked WAY up to 11...!

 

Edit: Oh.. and actually... The nearest monolith is halfway between Tharum and Badawi.. Not helpful at all...

That is the quest he means. I don't bother trying it any more (too may suicidal escorts, they can do it themselves if they want to go somewhere, don't need more red x's in journal)

Whelp. . .that stupid broad(Auto-start quest between Elf Outpost and Thysilum[sp?]) got killed a second time this week! Just got a horse and thought to myself - "Maybe I'll ride up on the mugger and kill him on horse back.' . . .the plan only half worked. My HE decided to have a bad case of the 'Missing The Target'!

 

Another time I even tried to snipe the mugger with Incendiary Shower since that CA can be activated on a spot regardless of distance to target. . .and YET even before I had the chance to try it as the quest started, the mugger killed the woman. . .talk about a Holy Hannah! moment.

You need to get in as quickly as possible, they will stop attacking her as soon as you attack them.

 

I've only ever failed the quest once when I joined someone else's server in Niob and the bandits were twice my level.
