Hey guys! Me and my friends have been trying this Prison Island quest and Im sure we will be able to finnish it in the near future. The thing is that it is really hard, understand me right here I like hard stuff, but it hinders our progression in the Sarlin Society. It really bugs me when I see lvl 80s and 110s with Hunter rank cause that just shows how big that change in the taskline was, in my and others opinion too big. I know the benefits of getting to the hunter rank as I have talked to others and its a HUGE deal for me as a paladin.
I also think about the other players who will face the same difficulties as us. This dungeon is really hard when you know nothing about the surroundings and monsters behaviour, especially when you HAVE to do it to progress in SS.
I would like you to take a look into this. And please dont missunderstand me you should NOT do anything about the dungeon, its great. But it hinders progression as you most likely wont be able to do it in lvl 120.
Kind regards Bicepspump

Honestly, you don't even have to change task specifically for Biceps, I, Saber, and Cruiv. We will be able to finish it (I hope lol) sometime this week. We aren't saying it's too difficult for US, mainly because we have been leveling our butt off/preparing so much. BUT for future adventure rank sarlin society RPGers it is WAY to steep of a difficulty spike from ghastly dragons. It cost a lot of money too ^^ I've probably wasted around 700k in supplies/blessings just attempting it, which may cause some prison island contestants to stay away.

Another thing I might add here aswell is the dragon task before you enter the Sarlin Society. I've seen and heard alot of people complain about it taking too much time and I also did it myself this night. They say its time consuming and I sure agree with that but most of those guys probably dont know what the big reward is. Oh well, I think this task can take the air out of people in the start so my suggestion is to count in the hatchlings in the task-count. Would make it less time consuming.

The idea of making Prison Island a requirement for the Hunter rank is exactly as you say, to hinder the progression of players to that rank. Same goes for the last mission of every rank advancement. So if Prison Island is hindering your progression, it's fulfilling its purpose.
For some reason, players understood that the only way to progress on this server is by advancing ranks in the Society, and were thus 1) advancing ranks too fast, and 2) skipping a lot of fun content all over the server.
That's why we introduced these "difficulty spikes".

I see your point. But then if you need a certain level to do this Prison Island task make it possible to buy prismatic bolts somewhere else. It is killing me as I still run around with lvl 70 bolts when I know how hard I hit with prismatics. That hinders my own progress in killing monsters and doing quests as I know how much differance it makes.

Prismatic bolts were never designed to be usable at level 90. Just the same way that a level 75 knight doesn't have an avenger, even though that's the required level to use it.

But is impossible to do solo, you need a strong team to do it. so we have a few players, even fewer that can do the quest and for some reason I do not have availability to join them in the quest, and then I will not have to wait another team appear? are you kidding me. I will get no progress in the game because of it.

This server is supposed to be team based in my opinion, so not being able to solo it is a good thing. If it is true you can't join us for some reason, it should be fixed, but they should keep the island as it is now.

Well... I guess we can do that Island few times... so you don't have to worry...

the quest is okay but should be a sidequest and not part of our progression
