Tips and Misc
- Note: This quest has a "Gather party" point right at the start. Make sure that any party member is aware of this.
- Soarsleds
- Gnolls on soarsleds always drop them when they die; however, they frequently get tossed over the edge if you're fighting near it. There are also several sitting around various points.
- To mount a soarsled, simply 'interact' with it by clicking on it. Maneuvering on one is similar to swimming.
- Soarsleds last 4 minutes so be sure to keep an eye on your timer. The timer resets if you pick up another sled.
- It's possible to do the entire quest without touching a soarsled... though getting back up to the path can be difficult.
- If you fall over the edge, there are generally ladders to get back up to the walkways.
- Enemy mobs are shown on the map as red dots, while Casper appears as a gold star.
- The window of the Bookstore can be shattered, and counts as a breakable.
- There are shrines, a chest, and a note explaining the lack of any City Watchmen inside their station.
- Gish can be very difficult for melees to deal with. He has a tumbling Dire Charge, uses Whirlwind Attack a great deal, and loves to flip back and forth around the battlefield. If whoever has his aggro puts their own back against a wall, it will at least stop the Dire Charge attack and keep Gish somewhat controlled.
- For fighting Irk, especially on high skulls, your best bet is to try to lure him to the west of the construction site to avoid summoned mobs. Several times during the fight he'll run away – do not chase him! He's dropping mines.
- Old Scrappy can be found in a storeroom west of Tully Tower; defeating him will spawn a shrine. There are also several soarsleds in the room.
- Be careful leaving the room if not on a soarsled. The left hand door leads to a walkway, but the right hand doors open over a long drop!
Bonus XP
- Aggression bonus: 93 or more monsters killed +10% Bonus.( ♣337 ♦586 ♥610 ♠634 )

- Neutralization bonus: 6 or more traps disarmed +20% Bonus.( ♣674 ♦1,172 ♥1,220 ♠1,268 )
- Ingenious Debilitation bonus: 7 or more traps disarmed +30% Bonus.( ♣1,012 ♦1,758 ♥1,830 ♠1,902 )
- Mischief bonus: 36 or more breakables smashed +8% Bonus.( ♣270 ♦469 ♥488 ♠507 )
- Vandal bonus: 47 or more breakables smashed +10% Bonus.( ♣337 ♦586 ♥610 ♠634 )
- Ransack bonus: 57 or more breakables smashed +15% Bonus.( ♣506 ♦879 ♥915 ♠951 )
- Notes: In order to get Ransack, be sure to run around the Construction Site. You'll have time to do this after defeating Irk.
- Given 'disable' values are the quest's base numbers. Unfortunately they are screwed by Irk dropping mines.
