Andorhal Watch (5)

Description

I need you to reach into the world beyond this room, <name>. Allow me to explain.

You see the difference in this room compared to the rest of Andorhal. My dragonflight works in many different ways and in many different timelines. To mend Andorhal's damage, I now act from a different timeline as not to overly contaminate it. To continue this though I need time trinkets, ones trapped from when the plague hit. Find them in lockboxes found in the ruined buildings that make up this once proud city.

Found at:

38,68
38,69
40,67
40,66
40,68

These may be random spawns, so these coordinates may not do much good. For comparison, the quest-giver is at 39,66, so it's very easy to complete this quest without going too far from the giver.

(Patch 2.1) The quest is repeatable, but after the first time, you don't get anymore experience.

Found mine in 5 broken down houses just around the house you find Chromie in, i did most of them by looting through the wall so i didn't get any aggro.

And since it was that close i didn't even have to clear the house to get to chromie again.

There appears to be a box in every building. Takes 5 mins as long as you can kill the undead roaming around.

when you've finished the quest, you can just do it another time.
but you get a lot less xp but still get the reward.
Dont know how many times you can do it, but at least 3 times.

The boxes arent hard to find, just look in the houses without roofs.
When you're rogue watch out for the searing ghouls because if you get to close you'll get damage and go out of stealth

To be honest the quest is pretty easy apart from the fact that most boxes are very close to a ghoul or skelly........and they arn't very happy when they see you opening the box

This does NOT work like you think it does.

The first time you do it, you get 5800 exp. Every time after, you get 575, and of course, the item.

When I completed this quest, Chomie showed the yellow exclamation point, and the same quest again - however even though the boxes were in the same spaces, I received only the Dampener again. So it would appear that if you loose it for some reason, you can get another one easily before facing Araj.

when you leave the inn where the quest giver is, head to your left, pretty much every house will have a watch, didnt have 2 kill many npcs, but its more then likely you will get ganked by 2 or more npcs in some houses so just be prepared

I found some boxes at the following:

39,68
38,70
40,68
41,67
40,66

Basically, all outside of the Inn. I didn't have to wander far.

At level 60, I received 3gp 48sp and it's repeatable.

I got 5800 EXP @ 56.

By far the hardest part are the Searing Gouls. Try and stay away from them iff possable, as they hit like crazy. The watches are in small lock boxes, dotted aroud the ruins.

Look in the corners of the ruined buildings. The boxes are small but not so hard to find once you notice where they are usually hidden.
