Second Serpent Lieutenant Requirements

[EldarFrostwyght]

I am trying to get promoted to Second Serpent Lieutenant in the Twin Adder GC and I don't know what to do. I have completed my hunting log through rank 3. Says I need to complete a trial but does not specify as to which one. Please help.

Most likely you have to do Aurum Vale

You need the Gilding the Bilious quest from your GC. (The linked page shows Twin Adder, but they each have a version of that same quest.) It in turn requires running Arum Vale, so I think you also have to have done the Going for Gold quest that unlocks Arum Vale itself. Pick up Going for Gold in Western Thanalan (in the area near Walking Sands), and pick up Gilding the Bilious at your GC headquarters.

Despite what I've seen on a few other discussions, it's not necessary to reach level 50 or to have completed the main scenario. You just have to be level 47 or above, as that's the quest level for Guilding the Bilious, have completed its pre-requisite Shadows Uncast (which you had to anyway to get the previous GC promotion), and be at Chief Sergeant rank.

I've done Aurum Vale, thank you though.

Thank you very much. I will try that.

I have completed the following: A pup no longer/ Shadows Uncast/ Guilding the Bilious/ Like Civilized Men and Women. Vorsaile Heuloix has no quests for me.

Ok, that's weird. You've done one more than I have and I was able to get that final promotion. It's Gilding the Bilious along with the second rank of the GC hunting log that's supposed to unlock it (and did for me). Maybe it's bugged.

This is a long shot, but do you have enough GC seals to make the promotion? It requires about 40k worth if I remember rightly to get the final promotion, assuming you've satisfied the other requirements.

I have no other option than to consider it a bug.

Yes, I currently have over 11,000 seals and it requires 8,000. When I request the promotion, it states that I need to complete a trial and complete rank 2 in my hunting log. Then it states that I still need to fulfill the ladder.
