so, this is not a cry thread about Maguen.
although i personally have a hard time with him, it's not why i'm posting.
as an Enchanter.
i get 30 minute buffs.
i buff other people before they enter.
but the buffs Always run out before the instance ends.
as an Enchanter, i Buff myself when i go in.
and the buffs still Always run out before the instance ends.
I have started buffing now after i talk to tie and spawn the mobs.
buffs still end with over a minute remaining.
has anyone else noticed this?
and if so, has anyone noticed what causes it?
i have a theory that maybe received energy increases your timer.
but i have not noticed yet if this is so.
and tend to forget to watch my timer more closely.
The buffs seem to run out 2 minutes before the instance ends. As for that muegen guy, there is just a split second you can target him right before he burrows into the ground. If you hit him fast enough, you can get about 150% of what he stole.
yeah, why is that though?
is there an error in the timer?
the buffs are 30 minutes, the timer is 30 minutes.
so what happens to cause the timer to go an extra 2 minutes?
Maguen lmao got so mad at him first few times.. but now i own him everytime he has no chance. Just target him click spam with mouse and skill spam.. I hit him everytime.
I also noticed this happen a few times i pop my juice right after i talk to the gaurd and spawn mobs.. And around 3-4 mins left buffs start to fade.
Hey another thing i want to add about this instance. I got 800 once 60 item reward i got 1500 another time still 60 item reward. And my record 1600 still 60 item reward ; ;
The rewards are as follows:
1 to 800 residues = 10 tissue
801 to 1600 = 60 tissue
1601 to 2000 = 160 tissue
2001 to 2400 = 200 tissue
next is 240 (that's what I normally get, from 160 to 240)
and the maximum reward is 400 tissues.
A couple of tips:
if you are interested in collecting the quest items in the safest way and don't care much about xp, just stay near the npc (Tie) and use every opportunity to give him the "bonus energy" (you score from 40 to 80 items each time); also don't miss any chance to rob Maguen (the more he steals the more he returns, just hit him in time).
If you want to maximize xp, just run in circles pulling trains of mobs and AoE them. Ignore Maguen and bonus energy both, as you farm more than enough items anyway.
Powerplayers normally get 3000-4000 residues in average, which results in scoring 400 tissues each time.
A few words about Maguen:
when he approaches, I start spamming the macro -
/target Maguen
/attack
- but sometimes nothing happens at all, and sometimes there is a hit but he just buries into the ground without giving back anything. I guess it might be related to internet latency or something. In most cases though, it works ok and I get more items from him than he's stolen.
To the OP:
yes, the 30 minutes-long buffs always expire before the timer ends.
By the way, people from Ru.off report of the opposite issue: for them, the dungeon timer often expired much earlier, e.g. at 20th minute or so. :p
