Yes, yes...I know the scavenger class is hard, and everyone and their sister is asking to pinpoint Master Toma's location.
But, well, you see, my problem is a bit different. I know Master Toma's location, I am parked at one of his locations for over 5 days now...and he doesn't show up...partying with a friend who parks at another location doesn't help either.
He's just not there where everybody thinks he is...question now is: where is that dwarf?
He lets me hunt some bears to get his honey...and then he dissapears...
Hi Orvieta,
just to let you know, I have seen him 2 days ago inside the mines.. maybe's sick and tired of going up and down always in the same places?
Bit of variety... ? :eek:
Good luck.
Inside the Abandoned Coal Mines.
At least he was there 2 days ago..
And obviously that was the last of the 3 locations i checked..
Murphy's law lives in cyberspace as well..
edit: Ok, found him once, get back from the tarantula's...what do you guess? :) Yep he's gone again. Guess I'll just wait another 5 days before he returns from who knows where :D
When vampy and I have some time to spend with you this weekend, we can stage in places where he pops up at to keep an eye out for him. Maybe Saturday evening?
Don't wait, track the bugger down. You can get to all the spots before he teleports. You'll have to visit each site twice at max, if you keep moving and take appropriate teleports and routes.

I would love too, but I don't know yet if I will be available or not (Work is a bit chaotic right now)

I can do it in your place Orvi...I can log on your scav and try to find that Toma this Week end while I wait for you to return home ^^
Pam, just drop me an IG mesage to let us know when you guys would be able to do so ^^ It's a bout time that we finished that class quest ROFL :D

I should have bet you would have come up with that suggestion :D
Ok, I did the quest and I have a Scavenger now...I always found Toma before the Mithril Mines after long waiting...so he does come there once in a while ;)
I recently made a Dwarf and am now 20.5. I started the Scavenger quest at level 19 with 10% into level. Now I did what others have done in the past. Sit at one spot and wait.
Well, I went to the north coast area and sat at the Island. I sat and sat for several hours. Some people would log on and off seeing if he was up, which he wasn't. I didn't take my eyes off the screen for several realtime hours. Least no more then a few 1 minute periods to use restroom or take a stretch.
After 8 grueling hours, again this is realtime not gametime hours, he never appeared. As I have read in other forums he is suppose to move from place to place every 10 minutes. Which I found out this is correct, under certain circumstances (will explain later). So I opened up the petition option and was going to report it. Low and behold, there was already a premade petition with GM comments already stated. They said that this guy does what he is suppose to do and that a GM is not allowed to disclose his location. They can only confirm that he is indeed somewhere.
So after waiting a long time, soloing in the area and keeping a close eye for him to spawn, I actually read the current task again, paying close attention to everything I could.
I went to the bottom of abandon cave, killed there for at least an hour or so. He never spawned there either. I then ran over to mith mines (north side) and killed a few mobs at the entrance. He never spawned there either. I went back to the Island, he wasn't there either.
Then it dawned on me. Maybe I am doing it wrong or something. I SoE'ed back to town. I opened the quest window and glanced over at the locations where the guy is said be. So I decided to do these in order in which they were listed. I grabbed 3 SoE's and three Run potions and went and talked to the Gate Keeper.
I took the Teleport to North Coast. I ran straight to the Abandon Caves. Got to the caves (north entrance) and went down to the bottom of the spiral ramp. He wasn't there. I immediately used SoE and returned to town. I then immediately used the Gate Keeper and ported back to North Coast. I ran directly to the north entrance of Mith Mines. Guess what? He was right there at the entrance to the Mine.
I got the quest for the bears. I SoE'ed back to town and took the Gate Keeper again to North Coast. Went to where the Marker is on map and killed the Bears.
If you are going to use this as sort of a guide, you will have to kill 25 bears, then a Quest Monster "Honey Bear" will spawn right next to you. It will not attack you until you attack it, so don't worry about that. You have to use Spoil on the bear before you kill it. Regardless if the Spoil was accepted or not, as long as you casted it at least once. So you will have to kill 25 bears for every 1 "honey bear". Essentially 125 bears and then the 5 "honey bears".
Once you kill these and collect all five "Honey Jars", I found it was faster to just SoE back to town. Take the Gate Keeper to North Coast. Then run the 3 locations again, like I stated above.
First, from North Coast port spot, run to the Abandon Caves (north side) and follow the spiral ramp to the bottom. If he is there, great. If not, SoE out immediately. Take the Gate Keeper again and port to North Coast. Run straight to the North Entrance of Mith Mines. If he is there, great. If not, take and SoE again to town. Take the Gate Keeper again to North Coast. Run directly to the Island. I can almost guarantee if you didn't find him at the other 2 locations, he will be there on the Island.
Remember though, that you have to go to each location in rapid succession. Don't stop to kill an mob. Don't kill a mob when you get to the locations. Just immediately SoE to town and go to the next location. Go to the locations in order as they appear on your Quest Window. Abandon Caves followed by Mith Mines followed by the Island.
In my case, after I finished the bears, he was on the Island. Which was very nice for me. Since his next quest was to kill the Hunter and Plunger Tarauntulas' in the area. Collect the Legs and then you have to return to him. Luckily as well, I had killed all the Spiders I needed and made it back to him before he had teleported away.
Needless to say, the above steps that I did, finding him, killing bears, finding him, killing spiders and finding him again using how I mentioned above as a guide only took me about an hour or 2 tops. That includes the killing of the bears and spiders as well.
It sucks that I wasted that 8 hours sitting at the one spot to find out how easy it could have been and was.
I would like someone to try this guide so to speak and see how it works for you. Please post here when you are done on your results so everyone else can benefit from my misfortunes.
(in theory)
Because what I really think is happening is that he is at one location. You have exactly 10 minutes from the time you reach one location to get to the next location before he ports away. It's as if as part of this quest was intended for you to chase him down. I think that as soon as you arrive at the first location (and this may be true for any of the 3 locations) that he immediately posts to a new location for exactly 10 minutes. If you do not get to the new location in that 10 minutes, he ports to another location. However he only moves to a new location if someone is persey chasing him.
Anyways guys, I hope this somehow helps others in that they do not have to sit in 1 location for 8 game hours straight for no reason. At least for me I did solo in the area around the Island and made a level and a half killing in the area. So when I was complete with the quest, I was already 20.5.
