Quest: Future Perfect

[Blossoming]

Drakes aggro by sight.

No they do not.

You and I have different definitions of fun.

Although to be honest I prefer XI's version of danger. The penalty of losing your levels for messing up made it much more dreadful and exciting. In this you die you run back over and over.

Most definitely we do. I don't find losing levels exciting or the tediousness of wasting tons of time running back over and over. It would be different if it was clear what I was doing wrong, but in this case its not. If I didn't ask on the forums I wouldn't of ever guessed the mobs had different stealth type properties. Its the first time I've ever seen that in a mmo and I've played a lot of them.

Say that to all the drakes I slow walked by and they attacked me when they turned around and saw me.

Edit: For shits and giggles I'm going to take the next 10 mins just to log into the game and go do it again to make sure they did not change it.

Edit 2: You are right. Either I've encountered a "rare" glitch on many occasions or they changed it recently. At the time I first went to Mor Dhona, slow walking by drakes never worked. More recently last year, slow walking to Four Sisters didn't work if the drakes turned around. And, doing a coliseum faction leve, a drake aggro'd me while I was standing still. So, they detect by sound, but it's not guaranteed.

Edit 3: Someone told me that not all drakes aggro just by sound and that they too get aggro'd by sight often, so yeah.

The majority of people on your server have probably already been there. Ask someone to teleport you if you don't want to walk. Otherwise, just keep trying.

[Domira]

Oh, the mob I'm talking about flies. I'm just not sure the name.

I promise you will be ok to walk past drakes. Just make sure to toggle X for walk mode before you sneak past them. If you were on Hyperion I would just tele you to the gate. Some of the mobs that are sight such as the raptors you do need to have some patience to get past them since they are sight. I forget what other mobs are on that path I'll see if i can find you a map with a path laid out on it I believe i used one myself a long time ago for this mission

I'll double check the mobs that pop in that area real quick so I can help you if your still stuck.

I highly suggest going from Camp crimson bark > > Murmur Mills if you have it. If you can reply if you do have them I can lay out a path for you to follow.
