You can cancel and restart the quest.

Or better yet, you can kill that N.28 golem that gives you -1 log.
Im confused

haha thats what i figure ))) u really must be a genius to figure out how that quest works )))))))))
It took me 2 tries and a post on the forum to understand it. As usuall NCSoft don't use english english in the description so it is PITA to understand it. Plus you have to write donw the number coz it is not shown in the quest tab.
What is this quest?

Revamped pavel ruins quest called "I Must Be a Genius."
its not that hard once you get the hang of it.. so OP fails...

Also the rewards are not that good at all...
yes, there is a mob which does -1 all the time.
and occasionally, at least on the pts, there is a mob which is -2...
i think the -2 only occured if you canceled and restarted quest.

on pts i was Aoeing the mobs so i suddenly had well over the number needed... so, i was then forced to only kill the non agro -1 mobs for an extended period of time.

just keep track of the numbers..
try not to go too far over.
I found it was not worth the time that it takes you to run back to the NPC to turn in for "Reward" XP + SP

lol yea I poled it with my WL sub, have over 37k of the quest item :O
Hi. the quest is easy!!! In the start just kill the alarm device which spawn the mobs that gives1-100 quest item... Then when you are about 500-550 quest items, try to kill the mobs that add you 1-2 quest item ..When you go 568 you are ok. If you pass the 568 just kill the mobs that give -1 ,-3 !!! So all are ok!

if you have 586 quest items:

kill the mob that takes away 1 quest item, in this case it's the N28 golem, all golems you kill for this quest say in white chat how much they add or take away from your total quest items.

So after you kill the N28 golem, your total quest items should be 585.

i'm not absolutly sure, but it isn't always the same amount of qi those mobs give or take. that changes every times u turn in or cancel the quest.
but i'll have to test that again to be sure about it :rolleyes:
It's all written in the NPC quest dialog (in case someone bothers to read them). Every mob type gives you its own fixed +M or -N. Except that every time you take the quest one mob type starts to give random +1 to +100 logs, instead of what it normally gives.
This quest gives around 200k xp and a little sp I think so hardly worth sweating over it :) Another Ncsoft joke :p

Reward is variable - from 100k - 1m EXP in 10 steps.
Thanks for the guide! :D Guess I'll keep the dern quest running and worry about it when it gets close :o

ps: Spoils and drops suk there :( at least for me so far..
Well direct drop of Enria, Asofe, Mold Lubricants isn't that bad in my case, have been in spots with worse drops. But that may be a point of view.
I get very few of those :( Turned in the Genius quest again today and got 300k xp tho :)
:D crazy to see people don't read general chan

are not mobs speaking to the one how get logs to say +XX and -XX ...

we just need to "think" a bit to see wich mobs drops what and how much ...

sometimes they change :p


now we know ...

Dwarves are genious in doing maths ....

The problem is you usually get less then 300k XP which is about 30 golems killed. The time lost to look which golem drops which number, trying to choose the correct golems, getting the quest and turning it to the NPC takes much more time then killing those 30 golems. That's why most ppl (me included) think it is worthless.

Element stones drop also. Got 2 or 3 there so far.

same.. but at what rate.... got 1 in 4 hours...

Not saying that the place is bad to level for toons in the range, but the quest is a huge pain the butt even if you get the hang of it... but again.. it is something different than just mind numbing grinding.

Ya I'd say I got them like 1 every couple of hours. It's just a nice bonus while leveling a sub or new player (if there are any of those now lol).
I've gotten a total of 1 stone in many hours there, hours enough to finish the genius quest around 4 times, 2x without the 100 quest item mobs :p Haven't finished the 500 item quest yet... about half way lol ><
