elder reindeer quest

I leveled my second character and when i got to the elder reindeer quest in ystra highlands I was immediately killed and pushed around the server by a pker until the server could be reset. When the server reset all the elder reindeer disappeared as to before there were plenty, and now i have to farm like i did for my first character to complete this. Why do evil pk toons get the upper hand in pve segmentd parts of the game. Is that why this quest is so difficult to complete?

...and pushed around the server by a pker...

I'd say this behaviour could be considered as bullying and something that you shouyld report to Support for their investigation.

NOpe. You just need to kill the red-named reindeer until and Elder spawns.

Wait a minute. I thought a pk'er couldnt attack you unless you had the pk status turned on as well.

Depends if you play on a PvP server or not...

It seems there's much that Marborz doesn't understand.

If he's playing on either Grimdal or Indigo...there are *no* "pve segmented" parts of the game after a toon reaches level 15. That's the "beauty" of a PvP server--if you want to call it that.

my point isn't whether or not it is a pk server my point is this: why where there plenty and i mean plenty of elder reindeer roaming around until i got tired of getting pked by someone and logged off. When i logged back in the following day all the elder reindeer were gone! Someone is assuming that you must kill many and many of the reindeer for the elder reindeer to spawn otherwise why would they disappear? We are not talking about the joblod the giant flower here, that is a totally different quest.

Yes, Joblid is a different quest, but the procedure to spawn an Elder Reindeer is the same as that for Joblid - you must kill many of the red-named reindeer to spawn Elders.
If someone goes around killing all the Elders that are there after a server maintenance, it can take a while to spawn enough to complete the quest.

I have seen myself grind whole levels trying to spawn 8 of those fricking Elder's and felt inclined to punch the screen when I later found out that you need another one for a later quest and that the Elder might drop an item that starts a quest chain too.

Having killed Reindeer for hours to complete this quest I can assure you that you are mistaken - or there was some really weird glitch that meant lots of Elder spawned at the same time. And if there was a glitch then you can't really blame a player from PKing to make sure that they benefited from it.

This is one of the Vahtos 'grind' quests, if I am not mistaken. Such as Excellent Boar Meat (my record I think is 149 boars for the three quest items, that is the lowest), Elder Reindeer and Tree Roots of Power from the Ents in Jade Valley. I didn't check my kill meter when I was doing the Ents quest but I remember on my main giving away more that 200 daily quest items when I completed it on my main.

Elder Reindeer are rare. You will have to farm the hostile deer a lot. If you are in a guild or have in-game friends I would recommend making a party and killing together (particularly for protection from PK) as the it will go quicker and it will seem quicker as you will have more fun.

And if you think Elder Reindeer are rare, there is someone even rarer that spawns on the same points - Akeli the Sage. I can guarantee you that only a handful of people have ever even seen Akeli, yet I have seen his card on sale on my server for 500kk.

And PS, I wouldn't tell the likes of Inferiority that he is assuming stuff. Not that I want to say that he knows too much about the game to be actually healthy, but...

Edit: lol, that was a mild response, Inf :D

I thought that might be the case but these quests are so closely connected in my mind, I decided to ignore such doubts.

Always a successful strategy, I find.

Oh the good old days of killing people.

You need to kill Reindeers to spawn them. As someone who use to kill them to spawn the World Boss, trust me, it takes a lot of patience.
