View Full Version : Scared Stiff - Repeatable Quest?

So over the weekend the quest 'Scated Stiff' in Canada was repeatable.

Today however it appears to not be repeatable... had a friend turn it in and they weren't given the option to take it again. Even had them change instances to see if maybe that was the issue.

So does anyone know if the repeatable quests have a limit or was this just a stealth change?

Edit: Nvm, I didn't check the patch notes. Didn't realized they patched this quest the day of official launch.

Though I'm honestly curious why they put a timer on the quest... and length of the timer.

Seems silly to put a timer on a repeatable quest....

The quest was granting too much XP too quickly. So it's still repeatable, there's just a timer on it to prevent you from doing it over and over again.

I totally understand as I was one of the people who was lucky enough take advantage of it over the Early Release weekend.

But instead of implementing a timer which can be circumvented by just alternating the 2 repeatable quests.

Why not just lower the xp reward to make it useful to repeat a few times but not better than following higher level quest lines.

Mainly people were using it to bridge the gap that existed in the late 20's - early 30's anyhow.

I used it earlier to bridge the mid level 20's so that quests would take me through that 'rough spot'

Putting a timer on it didn't really change anything except make the 2 repeatables alternate for farming xp as opposed to deterring it as a fast farming tool period.
