yes it is still active. go talk to Siige in nexus. gives you a list of people/places to kill. Be wary, they are tough and have a large amount of hp. For example, it takes me longer to kill Grubin's guards, than hard trash in t6. a team of t4/4/0's should be able to handle it. it takes 512 times through to get the final version. with all the zoning ( and stupid 5 min recast on the porta-telporter) takes me close to an hour to finish a round.

How it goes: kill a round, get a Scepter 1. Kill another round for a second SoT1. Combine the 2 in a magic box to get SoT2. Complete 2 more rounds to get ANOTHER SoT2, and combine the 2 of them to make an SoT3. And so on.....2 3's to make a 4, 2 4's to make a 5, etc.

There has been talk on and off about updating this quest, any thoughts on when we might see some changes?

It really is painful, mostly with the need to constantly zone.

Doesn't seem even remotely worth it for only 80k hp.

I hate this quest. I have at least a sceptre I on every character in my guild and a rank IV on my main 6 and thats about all I could stand to do. I would love to see this quest redone and as much as I HATE that everything uses SLS and essences I think it would be the best way.

My Idea is this: Rank I, kill the 10 guys, get the rank I sceptre. Rank II Kill the 10 guys, get a rank I scepter, combine that with a SLS, original rank I and Essence of Qvic and you get rank II. Rank III, kill the 10 guys, get a rank I sceptre, combine that with SLS, Essence of Tacvi and Rank II scepter and you get rank III, and so on and so forth.

This way you are still killing each mob 10 times, which for me with zoning and dealing with guards and whatnot is an hour per run, so 10 hours, plus the time for SLS and Essences and you need up to a Loping Plains essence to get the final rank X Sceptre.

I think thats fair and would encourage more people to do the quest without totally losing the original intent which was to kill the 10 guys over and over again. Anything more than 1 essence or 1 SLS per rank would be too much and make the quest even less desirable.

Please, no more essence/SLS sinks!  Something to get rid of the crazy amounts of plat would be better-this way maybe people will start selling stuff again

Maybe a Plat Sink ranked item, 100 million per rank.

Honestly, just update the script to reward a sceptre rank 1 per kill to all in killing group (like it used to do with the components before tasks).

Then add in a 25% chance to drop from sceptre rank 1 on kill as well.

This way it would take plenty of time to get it, but not an ungodly amount of time. It's 512 or 1024 kills to get, but could be slightly faster if good luck with drops.

Just had a thought.....is there a way to open PoTimeB here? Perhaps an item or items that drop from the gods (Scepter of TIME Cheesy). Or perhaps one of the SoD zones that correspond to PoP.

Then again....probably too much work for Hunter just for an upgrade to how SoT works. Silly idea, sorry.

 It still takes less time to get ucv2 for the damage modifier, and even less time to grab some ess and play to make a UW for the hp the rank 10 gives. Unless it's changed to what Hate said or possibly works the way T7 leaves work plus a shit-ton of plat (thus 10 times thru kill quest plus 10mil per rank equals SoT10), this quest is best left for Halloween grind.
