The Bi-Weekly quest, Patterns within Patterns

I says it will reset in 16 hours. How is this Bi-Weekly? I on;y got it yesterday. I’m at 29% just now and not sure I cba to do 71% in one day.
I’m not sure where their thinking is at regarding this Bi-Weekly quest. The Korthia one worked fine, why are they re-inventing the wheel?

It’s bi-weekly because it resets every 3 days.
From tomorrow however, it is going to be a weekly quest

So… it wasn’t bi-weekly, it was once every 3 days.
We had 1 day on first day of patch, 3 days 2nd one and 3rd one last 3 days, today last day you can do it.

Starting with the reset this week it’ll be a weekly.
So once per week and that’s it, it will have increased rewards to cover for it, so same rewards but only have to do it once.

Which means you can pick it up twice in a week, tho as stated

Nope. It means you could pick it up every 3 days, which would be 3 times a week every once in a while. Twice a week most weeks, but some weeks, three times.

Kinda sucked, thankfully it’s going weekly.

Yes there are 7 days in a week, which means it will reset once a week!

Therefore it is bi-weekly, in that in one whole week it will be reset once, so you have two opportunities to pick it up.

That will be better. Guess I’ll just throw away the 29% and whatever % I get today and start again tormorrow with a more reasonable pace.

You forget that the quest does not necessarily reset during maintenance, so there could be weeks where it would reset twice. Thus, not bi-weekly.

Eg, this very week, we were able to complete it 3 times: could pick it up on the first day, the second, and fifth (yesterday).

But it’s moot, because its going weekly with the maintenance. \o/

i dont know man, its so fast to do oO

Right now, when it’s still on a 3 day rotation, it fills up super fast.

3 WQs give 36%, the 2 broker guy give 10% each, so that’s already 56%, some rares give 8%, some 11 % (group finder is filled with rares, that are just everywhere), and chests give 4% I believe. All in all, right now it’s a 30 - 40 min work tops to get the 100%.

Yesterday when I doing it I was getting 3% for things like rares. Thought the WQs were 10%. Dunno, 29% seemed like a reasonable days work to me at the time.

I started today on my paladin, and got 72% done.

EDIT: Bam just finished - took like an hour.

I noticed that this 3 day one filled a lot quicker than the previous 2 did.
I don’t know if they buffed it slightly as it’s the last 3 day one before it goes weekly.

The daily quests gives 10% each, and every treasure yields 3%

You should get that done today. I did my 2nd one yesterday and thought it would takes but it didn’t and I was pleasantly surprised. Went round killing rares.

A week has 7 days, a 3 day quest means that it can be 3 times inside a week…

3 + 3 + 3 = 9.

Nah.

3+3 = 6 days with 2 and then we have 1 leftover day for the third. So it could be max 3, like we had this week.

It is 8% per rare. I did the whole bar on 3 chars on sunday :sweat_smile:

It’s 3 + 3 + 1
You only need 1 day to do it, don’t be silly.
So you have it 3 times in 1 week and sometimes you can get only 2 in another.
By-weekly would have been if it was 3.5 days, like the covenant assaults.

The quest doesn’t have to fit entirely into a week. Like, this week, we had the quest up 3 times: Wednesday, Thursday, and Monday.
