I need to roam this area and if I see dust kick up set a decoy. then the ermite is supposed to appear, after 45 minutes the message always saying a shy ermite has popped up, and I see nothing, I deleted the mission. in tha time I could have leveled up just grinding mobs somewhere.
So I wanna know are all daily missions that boring ? no action, just running around like a chicken with it's head cut off
Are the time consuming part just running around, has nothing to do with difficulty ?
I gotta say, my first impression, they were not worth the time.
Now if what I got was a fluke and just got a bad one for being my first time doing dailies, I may give this a try again.
I just want to make sure before I try this again, it's not going to me just running around for hours doing nothing
You did it all wrong. Eremites from DM description are shy and they live underground - you can't see them with any level of perception.
Before this mission it is good to be prepared with knowledge:
1. TAB button selects next monster(even eremites) in vicinity
2. /follow command follows selected player and also monster. Make a macro of it.
When you drop the mission item in proper place, shown in vicinity, press the tab and next on follow and starting attack would be fine, too.
DM are not boring - they are great addition to make great amount xp in short time - they can be routine if all you do is DM, but have you really tried playing game, by just non-stop boringly whacking monsters. DM is basically an XP gift - you gave up very fast...
There is another relatively easy DM, called Interception(for both sides), but some players initially are trying to kill the whole base...
The only missions I delete, are:
1. Spaced Out - my enfo can't survive at that high level. At low levels there is no point of trying, either, as you probaly already have received more AXP, than you need for your level.
2. Gathering items missions.
Like - recycling parts or cyborg parts(especially, that these items are UNIQUE and in case of cyborgs do notdrop that often and you need three of them or more, so this is challenge of boredomness comparable only to shoulderpad quest). If I have these items in my bank, then I give them, but killing cyborgs(boring brown) or low level wildlife is boring.
I do not like Gem mission - they are usually at low levels(I can level faster, than hunt for gems, that I could use, making profit). I think this mission allows high level players to hand in jewelry in low QL. Stock some low QL ones for future
I assume, that to do these missions you have to be generally prepared beforehead. Keep 5 gems from Subway and that's all.
I had once mission to hand in carbonrich rocks - I have them couple of bags, so no problem.
3. Hunt, unless I have a higher level alt, as this mission really requires some help - either in proper equipment or from side. I remember killing Dyna mobs by myself sometimes even higher level until lvl100(sometimes it took 10 minutes of running, avoiding, constant surviving of keeping safe range and hitting from safe distance), then stopped. Very annoying is that Dynabosses are accompanied by minions and to kill dynaboss, you have to kill minions first. And if you happen to be low level, there is always chance, that there are other mobs of your level, who will join The Hunt on you...
4. Clear Graffiti missions - suicide mission, running among high level sided mobs, especially in 4 Holes. And it is hard to get to Bliss. And you will be PVP flagged, too. This actually is doable, if you can get on yalm, but without yalm, I just delete it.
