I recently did this on my main to get the books for my alts, only to discover that if you want to do SW on a char that char has to do the quest. So apart from that slight anoyance, the last part of the quest asks you to kill 2 exodus minions and 5 exodus overseers. Now the minions spawn at a good rate, but the overseers seem to take ages to respawn and only spawn in 3 locations in the exodus dng.
So I ask could the number and spawn time of the spawners be tweeked so I and those who have yet to do the SW spellbook quest have less time to sit and wait in this dng.
Its not as if there is something good in there to kill in the meantime, to fill your time while the next overseer spawns. Well the last 2 I need should have poped by now :D :D
There is always another version of the quest that you can do where you have to kill rats in Sanctuary. Only thing is you also need severed human ears to do it. Hope this helps.
Ive read on some of the older threads of problems getting the ears.
Done the heartwood version of the quest twice this afternoon, its easy n simple enough, just half the time it takes is sat waiting for the next overseer to spawn.
The problem with getting the ears is that the only place you can find them is in Ilshenar, and then they do not always drop. I think it may be a luck thing.
