Unless someone is interfering with it.

The Gromagh side takes 3x as long, and 1/3 of the time and effort to actually interfere with it for this reason. Kill Gromagh every 2-3 hours and you reset how many heads she's lost.

It's intentionally designed to be easier to do the Centaur side than the Spawn side, which was fine up until they made the things epic quests that people would feel like griefing for a weekend straight. tongue.gif


I'll keep this in mind next time Marani is raised.

There's a reason I don't go near Marani any more. tongue.gif

That's basically an elevation of the same issue, yes.

Good point. Why the hell is Marani part of Magnagora's epic quest? Did someone drop the ball? Marani's whole goal is turning Nil into Shallamar. Why would we ever want to raise her?

They wanted to use existing quests, and she's powerful so we eat her power (and her face).

This. You'd think it would be Presidium or Asylum or Aestra or Malacoda. Though, I think your epic quest is more about bringing her to heel, than raising her? Not sure. Still, there are many better options.

You'd think she'd learn to just say "no" and squish the quester after the first time.

To be exact, the Necromentate taints the pentagram you use to raise her, she goes mad with power, tries to assault Magnagora with the tainted pentagram, and the Necromentate goes "omnomnomnomnomnom". And we get 15k power.

Sounds like a yummy meal for it.
