Okay I have finished some of this, and here are some bugs and thoughts:
1) Froglok Blood - Ok
2) Sarnak Blood - when you loot it, the quest doesn't update
3) Jack O'Lantern - there doesn't appear to be one. There is a Jack O'Lantern fungus, but the quest doesn't update when you get one
4) Essence of Moonlight - Ok
5) Goblin Sparring Gloves - Ok
6) Dark Gold Senior Apprentice Robe - Only one mob drops this in Najena, Akksstaff. According to MQEmulator.net, he has a 12.5% chance to drop this, and he is a 20 minute or so spawn. You could have to camp him for a whole day to get this thing to drop if you are unlucky. I didn't get one.
7) Collector's Grimling Blood - Ok
8) Hearty Goblin Blood - Ok
9) The Crusade of 1812 - only one mob drops this, the Iksar Tomb Raider. He is a 30 minute or so spawn, and he has a 25% chance to drop this particular book. You could be here quite a while. I didn't finish this one.

I didn't finish this one. steps 6 and 9 are examples of throwing in a step or 2 that is somewhat more difficult than some of the others; conversely, some of steps are absolute softballs(by design). 2) has been resolved - tested/confirmed 3) has been resolved - tested/confirmed 6,9) I will consider changing some parameter to make the drop possibly more frequent. Unless there are suggestions for other drops that are compareable (not easy, but not uber hard - to offset the softball steps in the task.) |

REVISION:
Did you try #6 and #9 or did you just read about the spawn times and didn't even try?
I TP'd into Najena, Akksstaff was up, I whacked him and looted robe. 25mins later he was back up.(2nd time, no robe)
Ditto for Iksar Tomb Raider. Tp'd in he was up, whacked him, looted book and was done. came back 30mins later, another iksar tomb raider was up.
Only change I have made with any of the steps above(6, 9) was now the task will accept any of the 4 books that the Iksar Tomb Raider drops.
I did re-org the task so now only one 'Loot / deliver step' shows at a time.

I camped Tomb Raider for two spawns, so I actually killed him three times.
I killed Akksstaff once. I have had bad experiences with these low percentage drops in the past. For example the griffin enforcer in Blacfeather Roost, I killed him like 20 or 30 times (he is a 10 min or so spawn, at least he was blue to me and I got xp). 12.5% is a lot better than 5% (item I wanted on griffin). But it wouldn't surprise me at all if I had to go through 10 or 20 Akksstaff's to get the robe. Let's say it is 10. That is 300 mins, or 6 hours. Could be a lot longer.
Camping is part of this game though. If you want to do it this way, it isn't a problem. Will say only one person at a time can reasonably do this step of the quest. But since it is very difficult for an EMU to get more than 15 or 20 long term players (that was what Vengful had when I played) that shouldn't be a problem. Of course it might be really popular and get more. I could see it being more of an issue if we had 30 or 40 players trying to get this step done.
We'll have to wait and see, but leave it like it is now.
