Archmage Tarixus..........25-30.........Lore Keeper (not confirmed)......793, 16, 1781 Sharkhead


[/ QUOTE ]

I had Lore Keeper the first few times I spoke with him. That didnt unlock him. Was doing a paper mission and earned both the Soul Binder and Weed Wacker a couple of minutes apart. After that Taraxis would talk to me --- though I had outleveled him.

The others seem to be kicked in by one badge so I can only assume that it is just the Soul Binder or the Weed Wacker.

At this point I am assuming that Weed Wacker is for killing Succubi.

[/ QUOTE ]

In regards to Archmage Tarixus. Previous to last night..he would not offer me anything nor was he onmy contacts list. Last night I did a mission that involved the CoT and gained the Weed Wacker Badge. Today, upon speaking to Archmage Tarixus, he added himself to my contact list and placed himself on my Sharkhead map. It seems the Weed Wacker Badge is the key to unlocking Archmage Tarixus.

It should be nkown however that I also possess the Lorekeeper Badge. So wether ot not you need both badges to unlock him as a contact I cannot tell. But you most certainly need the Weed Wacker Badge.

P.S. My spelling sux.

It has change to Lorekeeper, I've gotten him with it and Posi confirmed it.

There has to be another aspect to this contact. I've had the lorekeeper badge for more then a week now and he would not speak to me. After getting the Weed Wacker badge last night and returning to him today to speak with him...he opened up as a contact.

I've got her down as [693,32,-1342] on here, so looks like the post you quoted just missed the minus sign off the 3rd part of those coordinates.

I did Tarixus' missions and I do not have the Weed Wacker badge.

Are you sure it wasn't that you leveled up into Tarixus level range that enable you to start getting missions from him?

I did the first respec at 24, the second at 33. I got no respec option for the second time around however. Leery won't talk to me. However my partner did the first respec twice, failed it the first time, beat it the second time and got him to talk and give her a mission.

There must be another badge related to it.

::edit::

I compared badges with her. the only ones she has that I don't are Soul Binder (CoT mages) and Finder (Lost). (not including any gladiator badges or souveniers)


[/ QUOTE ]

The one you did at 33, did you go to the proper contaact? If you used the same contact as at 24, you just did the same respec mission which is why you didnt get another respec. However if you went to the contact that is up north then there is a bug. I also believe you need to be 34 for the 2nd respec, not 33.

[/ QUOTE ]

The first contact was the demon. The second contact was the succubus. I thought it was weird that she allowed me to tag along on the respec even though I was 33. But I'm positive it was different contacts. I looked over my friend's badges, and she only has one Thorn Robber badge.

I have gone by the Succubus Respec contact myself at level 28 and she told me to come back at 30. So, for some reason, she is giving the option of the respec trial at 30+, but you cannot claim the respec reward unless you complete it at 34+.

Positive. When I first spoke to him, I was within the level range posted in the forst post here. In fact when I spoke to him again last night after I got the Weed Wacker badge...I was lvl 31...out of the posted lvl range.

Tarxius is definitely Lore Keeper. I did his missions at 25, no Weed Whacker, just Lore Keeper.


 

Posted

I was able to do Archmage Tarixus' missions at 25 with only the lorekeeper badge and I do not have the Weed Whacker badge yet.

Perhaps you have found some sort of strange bug.

This goes for me any my wife as well. Definately no Weed Whacker badge, but we do have Lore Keeper. And we both did his missions without any issues. I think we were level 25-26.

That is just a bug for right now I believe.

As for Leery, I have done both Respecs and have both respec accolades. I have not used my second respec just yet, but right now he will not talk to me, andI am level 35.

Something's up with this Leery. A friend of mine (a level 37 MM) got Leery as a contact, after having done the first (the lower level) respec. We started doing Leery's missions and managed to do three of them. He then got to level 37, used his respec, and all of a sudden, Leery has stopped giving him missions. In fact, Leery now says, what he says to anyone not meeting his requirements, whatever they (now) may be.

I tried to get him myself, but having gotten the first respec and having also used it before I tried to get Leery, he gave me his 'speech' right away.

Another guy I know (a level 40 Brute) got Leery once he got to 40 *and* had the first respec active. He still hasn't used this respec and he can do Leery's missions just fine.

Perhaps having a respec and not using them is the key here? Cause we did another respec, just to make sure we each had an active (useable) one too, and Leery still doesn't want to give me missions, or continue the arc for the MM (whose contact bar is halfway).

There's definatly something wrong with this contact, and my best quess is either they changed the requirements for Leery *during* the time my MM pal was doing his missions *or* he's plain &amp; simply bugged.

I believe it's a bug to get the 'Thorn Robber' badge as soon as you finish the respec trial, as the badge description says it's given after RESPECing, also i was awarded the badge again after i actually respeced gloomy).

Thorn Robber description:
[ QUOTE ]
You have stolen the power of the Nexus of Thorns for the first time, and have used the character respec it granted you.

[/ QUOTE ]Something not right with getting the badge awarded message twice (once when i completed the trial, and then again when i actually used the respec).

[/ QUOTE ]
That, at least, is not a bug - the badge has a different description prior to respeccing, and tells you who to go see and where to redeem it.

Did first respec awhile back, did 2nd last night. Took respec as reward for both, haven't used either. I am level 35. Went to Leery tonight, he has mishes available, haven't done any yet.

I've done both Respec missions, used both, and he will not speak with me. I am level 35.


Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

Yes the description 4 the badge after u finish the respec
mission is different to the description after you talk to Lupin.

Description after you talk to Arbiteer Lupin:
[ QUOTE ]
You have stolen the power of the Nexus of Thorns for the first time, and have used the character respec it granted you.

[/ QUOTE ]
My point was that "have used the character respec" is incorrect, as i had talked to Lupin, but NOT respec'd my character. A minor point, but one that is wrong neverless.

As 2 getting the badge awarded twice, i noted i got it awarded when the Thorn Tree was defeated and then again after i actually respec'd gloomy. I didn't notice if it gives u one after you talk 2 Lupin (but not actually respec).

And off on a tangent, the award selection screen when you defeat the 'Thorn Tree' has a title of "In recognition of of your tremendous deed in save the Terra Volta reactor" ...

Hoping i'll get round to the 2nd respec this weeked, see if i can finally talk to Leery.

New theory:

Leery requires you to have both un-respecked badges.


Missing one badge or trading in the un-respecked badge for the respecked badge will turn off Leery.


Yes, this doesn't make sense, but that may mean that Leery is slightly bugged. Still needs confirmation.

[/ QUOTE ]

This sounds about right, it does indicate a massive bug though, I'm PM Positron as we speak to see if that's the case.

Not how it worked for this friend of mine (the 37 MM). He had only one unused respec (not having done the second one yet) and he could get Arbiter Leery's missions. In fact, he now (after using his respec) has a mission from Arbiter Leery stuck in his missionlog. We finished the mission, but he cannot clear it out of his log, since Leery won't talk to him anymore.

Edit: in fact, I'm quite certain that this can't be true. This level 40 Brute, who has only done the first respec too (but not used it) could do all Leery's missions (we did them last night).

So basicly, you need to have a respec left to work with Leary, interesting.

Well, yes &amp; no. At first, the MM had only done one respec (the first one) and hadn't used it. We started doing his Leery missions and they worked just fine. Now, when he turned 37, he decided to use his respec, so he could sell his enhancements. After he used his respec, Leery stopped giving him missions. We then did the second respec trial, to see if an open respec was the thing that unlocked Leery, but this didn't work.

So, from what I gather, only having an open, unused respec can unlock Leery (at this moment). The minute you use a respec, no matter if you have another open one left, he stops giving missions. So I think he's bugged atm.
