Monster birds, again
No Expiration
Athens Adventurer's Guild
Hey, it was you who investigated for me about a "tall bird", right? That Scholar has another request to find out about a bird. This request apparently involves a bird bigger than any seen until now...

A flight-less bird that lives in the forest of Aotearoa. At first glance it looks like an ostrich, but there are no wings. It can grow to be a giant of over 4 meters tall. Reports indicate a sizable population at one time, but as people began to live on the island, its numbers have dramatically reduced.

Am i right in saying that you can discover this with r9 eco?
ReaD12-22-2012
r11 eco..

Maria

Why would you think you don't need the full r13 Eco? This is an adventure guild quest, not an archive map. You need the full requirements, period.
It's only archive maps that you can go 2 ranks over actual for Eco, Search, Recognition and Unlock.

Carla

not necessarily have to r13, quests can be done with eco/search/recog -2 from the reqs, though it will make the discovering harder

JR

Maria is wrong, period.
ReaD and Carla are right.

Junchul

Maria is right. Its just that they took off -2 from the quest requirements for discovery skills already.

no, MARIA IS WRONG

Search, Recognition, Ecological Research can all be done with -2 skill, But it will take many tries to complete the quest.

George

Yes but not on the spot, its when your pulling out the quest.
As you can see all quests have a requirement in which the "discovery" skills are lower by -2 than the "research" skills.
It won't work if you're trying to discover it when you have -2 rank skills as it was already nerfed when you got the quest.

I have over 900 discos now this what i have found out. For maps you can be 2 under for search,rec,unlock, and eco. For quests you need exactly what says. Only time you do not is you can complete a quest if grouped with someone who has the skill ranks needed as long as you are 2 away from what is needed if they do not have the quest themselves. If they have the quest they complete it and you get credit and if you are within 2 levels of required skills you still get skill xp. If not you get no skill xp for them completing it.

A load of bullshit...
You can complete any quest with a rank of -2 at search, recogn and eco, not unlock (but -2 unlock work with maps).

Io

Polt is exactly right. I can't believe there is any debate on this.

Maria
01-10-2013
@Io
If you mean that is right that is not possible to complete a quest that for example requires r10 search if your search rank is 8... you are totally wrong as Polt was wrong, you can absolutely complete any quest with a -2 at search, eco and recognition.
please don't share incorrect informations.

Emma

-2 only for maps, to quests need of full reqs of skills.

Steward

-2 also for quests (excluded unlock), stop giving incorrect informations. Try it in game, then come back here and type: "sorry I'm a noob and didn't know -2 works also for quests"

Miyo
