Advice for doing JBoots quest without having to MQ it?
What's the best way to hunt down an Ancient Cyclops without access to Track? I'd really rather get these on my own when I'm strong enough and not have to sink 5kpp into it just because I can't get a Ring of the Ancients.
Looking to do it around 39 or so. | ||

Camp AC in Ocean of Tears. No need for track there, just kill placeholder mob.

Oh wow, that one is supposedly Level 41. I'll have to wait until later for him, maybe 49 or so when new spells come. | |||

Yeah, SRo was ridiculous to try and camp as a monk. Only time I ever even got to run around and see if something was up was at like 2-5am CST and even occasionally
I’d still see someone checking on their Druid.. I decided to farm the plat instead of waiting till I could solo the AC in OoT. Week well spent [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I love my clicky jboots!

Now they have a choice: be a nice person and make 500p while they're already stuck there waiting ... or say no in the hopes that you won't be able to kill it on your own and they'll get their turn faster. If that happens, I'd wait for the next person in line after them to show up, and make the same offer. If you can't get anyone on the island to help you, that plat should be enough to entice someone else in OOT (eg. someone farming Seafuries) to come over and help, and if not then I'd send random tells offering it to people in Butcherblock and Freeport. The point being, AC is not a hard fight for many people: the hard part is getting out to OOT and waiting. I think most people ... who have to sit there waiting for their turn anyway ... will be happy to help you fight, if you sweeten the deal for them ... and even if not there are enough nice people on the server that you should be able to find help somewhere.

I did it last month, showed up just before noon ... and there were six people ahead of me in line at that point.
For reference, I looted my ring at 8:28 PM that night, but this is definitely a YMMV (your mileage may vary) situation, as there is a huge random difference as to how long it will take between each AC. While I was waiting we got a rare "two ACs in a row" case ... but then we also got tons of placeholders in a row. To be safe, I'd recommend getting there earlier than I did, unless you are willing to play late. P.S. It seemed mostly people who want it for themselves, but I'm sure some were re-selling. I don't consider them any "greedier" than anyone doing any other cash camp though.

P.S. I did it on a Thursday: obviously on weekends you can expect much more interest [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I can only imagine there must be a LOT of people trying to sell this thing then. I was thinking OoT activity would be fairly low during the 500 hours.

Even if you somehow could ban resellers, I'm sure there'd still be huge interest in that camp (and long lines). But if you get there early, and are prepared to AFK wait awhile, you'll likely get your ring at some point later that day. Then you just have to murder some shadow men, chase a gnome while carrying a bunch of gold, and you're set [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
