Monkey Island -- exp quest
Tusker Honeycomb
 | 1.4S, 87.0E |
 | 80+ level restriction |
getting there
 | run from town. run is moderately dangerous, but not overly difficult |
 | you can run directly there -- you will run across a decently large body of
water. despite its size and color, it shallow enough to travel |
while inside
 | nothing but tusker assailers
 | suggest buff and bane for bludg |
 | as with other high-level tuskers, don't forget the noggin |
 | black, 700 health |
 | decently high magicD ... 390-400 i would estimate |
 | based on my longs strings of resists (a couple strings of 10+ resists
to my 402 life), i think they are able to spend exp |
 | decently high armor. vs +138% CS bow and DAP
 | 110 crits when unvulned |
 | 288 crits with pierce (archer's gift) |
 | 590 crits with imp and pierce |
|
|
 | lots of traps that cast tusker's gift (bludg vuln 7)
 | learn to stay alive with it ... or bring a pack of gems with ya |
|
 | drop is hot
 | you're placed at the end of a corridor, no exit portal |
 | narrow -- room for at most 2 abreast |
 | i had 5-6 lined up to kill me as i portalled in |
|
 | basically go WEST and UP
 | one spot you head WEST, but go DOWN and then UP, much like an inner
city freeway underpass |
 | when W is a dead end, head NORTH |
|
 | at the end is a small unremarkable chamber with ~10 assailers on a medium
spawn
 | these drop the prize - a tusk |
 | drop rate is high - not 100%, but it seemed to be at least 25% or more |
|
 | exit portal is near the final chamber |
departure
 | exit portal is hot! monkeys, many new reeds, minions (who will debuff)
 | if you're so inclined, you might want to buff your feet/legs for
pierce -- the new reeds have a decent punch, just like the new carenzi
in North ML |
|
 | turn the tusk into brighteyes in town
 | 5% of exp to next level, just like G's sword |
 | one use portal gem to new isle
 | lore say that the recall scroll you get from bobo ... brighteyes
tells you that he requires a tusker HUSK (not tusk) for it |
|
 | optional token -- bestows "Master of Slaughter" title |
|
 | 3 week timer on turning in tusk
 | seems as if you can pickup more then one .. but turn in is 3 weeks. |
