And, anyway, it's much harder for priest than you are letting on, Dark. They would run out of divine trying to kill the magic resistant ones, no doubt, not even talking about the styx itself (which if it doesn't bug is supposed to summon like thousand of mobs and the priest can't just run around them hitting from range). Staff doesn't do that much and they'd have to hit each at least 6 or 7 times, maybe more. They'd also easily get surrounded. It might not be impossible, but I wouldn't even risk doing it on a priest.


You would need to be D2+ priest to do the quest. Why? Because it takes so damn long to go from portal to portal. On an archer it takes me about 5 minutes to kill 40 hellhounds then about 3-4 minutes to run to the portal. That's taking into account tat I'm someone who's done the quest dozens of times and memorized the layout of the dungeon. Say on a priest it still takes you 5 minutes to kill. Without wings, (using d1 shoes or lower) it would take 2x-3x as long to run to the portal. Then if you get lost once or twice add another 5 minutes to the count. That's barely finishing 1 floor within 20 minutes. Same thing applies to warriors just they'll kill much slower. I did the SC quest on NR with my max tt warrior using 167movp shoes and it still took me almost 15 minutes per floor.


My bro killed 40 hellhounds and moved on to next room with D1 priest easily, but then he didnt get the message to continue quest and wuala. That was his 3rd time attemtping that quest(hes new to SC) so he quit.

because of various reasons ppl either cannotkill the required monster, or new ppl like me tried to find the portal thru the maze with a slow worrior is just impossible, and then the whole ordeal of running from northern wanen to east entrance?

yeah it's okay for you to say it's easy no problem, cos you know the map by heart, you know where to go, cos u did it so many times, but this server is trying to be new player friendly, and spending 10 mins running from point a to point b before the quest even starts is not fun, and trying to find the next portal is just as frustrating.


All i am asking for is don't teleport us all the way back, just outside of east seremy's dung, it's not hard is it? atleast i lost my motivation with my worrior after the third time around.

Its easy to try and fail 3 times on beta when it doesnt matter. But in live when you work 2 days for the bones its not as easy to risk it. And what good does it do a d1 or d2 warrior/priest in live? You need that SC around lvl 90-100 so you pretty much cant get your own till after you need it.

seriously this is a hard quest... I can kill the monsters in like 5-10 minutes but to find the portal is impossible...especially for a newbie. I have a bad sense of direction...so i spend most of my 20 mins running around getting lost. its really annoying and frustrating. no to mention the quest itself has many complication such as not getting the pop up timer if u forgot to type in "quest on".

im not gonna lie 15 mins each floor is pretty garbage on a max tts warrior, taking to acc that you hit max tts while having the king rares, and you were on the throne till NR ended, and had d2 roadkight full set

and that you were a fencer
