    I got the pendant from the coldain mob, then the quest said to return it to Ada and that was it.  Maybe they removed step 6?

    Why can't this be distilled into a "Correct version"???? This is why people complain about the task system in EQ.



    Re: The Way Back Home By: Bartleby On: December 27, 2019, 09:49:03 AM

    I can't find this Kodiak to save my life. Any suggestions?



    Re: The Way Back Home By: mordsith On: December 22, 2019, 12:09:30 PM

    The second point the point you had was:
    P 0, -1547, -31, 0, 0, 240, 3, 2_ADA_MOM

    I believe you want this:
    P 0, 1547, -31, 0, 0, 240, 3, 2_ADA_MOM

    There is a third mob that I have found, other than the two that have been mentioned, it is found near the 4 location.



    Re: The Way Back Home By: sarrgonn On: December 21, 2019, 09:24:44 PM

    perfect, thank you. just to add a note, there is no update until the mob dies. think that was my mistake. once mob died, got update



    Re: The Way Back Home By: Elrondh On: December 21, 2019, 05:20:24 PM

    This is the corrected locs for the map file eastwastestwo_3

    Re: The Way Back Home By: Riou On: December 19, 2019, 12:25:07 AM

    Point 5 is pretty far off on current map. Is further south than west from point 4, more like halfway between point 4 and sleeper's tomb area.

    /loc -869, -529 to get update and mob spawn. Mob did not see double invis, and did not auto agro for me.

    Did it mention a south trail instead? Because I think there might be 2 potential update spots for this step based on if it wants North (Mapped) and South (the one that you are suggesting), I've updated the map with the Southern spot

    Re: The Way Back Home By: Riou On: December 18, 2019, 06:37:54 PM

    Yea, the mob to kill is a random mob, afaik, but it should always spawn around that spot



    Re: The Way Back Home By: conq On: December 18, 2019, 05:36:55 PM

    The mob that spawns is called, "A restless aged Coldain" and drops the "Simple Velium Pendant"



    Re: The Way Back Home By: Fian On: December 18, 2019, 04:02:01 PM

    Mob to kill is rabid tundra kodiak.
