So ya, has anyone managed to complete this after this patch lol. Currently on an hour of attempting to get past all the aggro mobs and it's quite furstrating. It wouldn't be so bad if the eluder skills were actually useful then I'd only have to worry about raptors for the most part but since I can only use it on one seedkin it's like, ok I evade this seedkin oh hi 4 more seedkin.
It doesn't even help I"m trying to check out the other path and now the diremite is deciding to go up the path in which I need to go. So ya I'm just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this frustration of it no one else has dealt with the class 36 quest for botanist since VU lol.
-Edit-
So ya, somehow managed to run past the 1 anole and 5 birds without them picking up on me. At that point it was basically a gauntlet, an anole snuck up behind me so I had to make a move and through all the aggro only the weaker roesling aggroed so I didn't take to much dmg even though I think 2-3 were on me. Though I was on my 31 Marauder so that prolly helped, I had 300 more HP to work with and better defensive armor, had I tried doing it on botanist I prolly would've died lol.
But ya every single route is just filled with aggro mobs there really is no good way to good and with the changes made to how mobs aggro you outright now it juts makes it hard to sneak by. Once you see that red bar light up you are automatically aggroed. It was nice when they staggered a bit and waiting to see if they could see their prey before engaging or at least give you a warning that they were aware of your presense. Though I'll just say this for any other botanist attempting this quest goodluck I would recommend trying to get 1 or 2 rank 50 friends to help out if you know any, they should at least be able to aggro the mobs in your place so you can run by safely. While I think they could kill them if they are in the wrong spot they may easily get overwhelmed by the vast amount of aggro mobs.
