Love Story

[Kimberly]

Had some impressions/corrections when I was doing this quest today for the first time. I don't know if I'm a bit off base, or if there were specific reasons for the various phrasing, but I figured I'd mention the difficulties I had, namely with the required/suggested item list.

 

In the listed required items, it states that you need an Anti-fire shield and an ambiguous number of antifire potions, but strictly speaking you don't need both together to finish the quest. From when I did the quest today, it was frustrating to not know how many anti-fires to bring, especially when I saw the anti-fire shield listed prior to that. I defeated the Iron Dragon with only the Anti-fire shield, and perhaps the mention of antifire potions can be moved to suggested if players wish to completely negate the damage of the Iron Dragon's firebreath.

 

During the fight with Zenevivia, I saw both Range equipment or spear methods for killing her, yet neither of these are mentioned in the Suggested section at the beginning of the guide, nor specifically mentioned in the section title for the final boss (it instead just says a generic, "Food, Weapons, Armor"). I came only with the style I was most comfortable with, but if I had fought with mage instead I don't know if I would've been able to damage her enough when she teleported to her plinths. Two styles seem to be needed (or melee with a spear) to keep the battle progressing, or else she starts to heal with Blood spells on the Wise Old Man. The guide did a great job of mentioning how spears work very well for pure melee'ing, or mage/range, or melee/range. I would've felt better prepared, however, if these combinations were mentioned at the beginning of the guide instead of the generic "Weapons, armor, etc"

 

The suggested items confused me when it mentioned that I can use a house in Rimmington in order to use house tabs to teleport to the "Wise Old Man's house quicker." With no knowledge of the quest, which you wouldn't have when you first read the guide, you could easily confuse his Draynor house with Zenevivia's stolen house (the Wise Old Man's old house) and instead just bring an extra charged amulet of glory (. Changing the wording to "Also note that if your house is in Rimmington, you can cast House Teleport or use the provided House Teletabs to return to the House Portal in Rimmington faster" might prevent this confusion, but it's nothing so drastic. (Only mentioning it because I'm a bit dense and made this mistake myself! :#)

 

Everything else was concise and extremely helpful. Thanks for the guide :thumbup:
