- Protect the Coin Lords' crate until Tambor finishes setting his traps (5 minutes)
- Slay at least 10 kobolds
What to Expect
- Timed quest (5 minutes)
- Protect a quest item (crate), but it's no longer possible to fail the quest
- Spawning/respawning monsters
Tips and Misc
- After speaking to Baudry to get the quest, make sure to speak to Tambor Smythe outside the warehouse before you go in.
- Before speaking to Tambor inside the warehouse (which must be done to start the combat), destroy every destructible on the map like crates and barrels. Not only do you get the possible random loot, having all of the destructibles out of the way can help prevent your auto-targeting from selecting them instead of enemies to fire at.
- Although protecting the crate is an objective, the quest has been revamped and the box cannot be destroyed. The party can just AFK until the timer runs out, kill the ten required kobolds, and then complete.
- Kobold Shamans start to appear with about 1:30 left; they can do a *lot* of damage to the box, especially on Elite, in a very short time.
- Kobold shamans spawn in the South-west corner. Kobold Sneaks tend to spawn in the north corners, especially the North-west. Fighters tend to spawn in the East corners, especially the South-east.
- The timer doesn't start until you speak with Tambor Smythe, giving you plenty of time to buff, summon pets and smash crates beforehand.
- Tambor scurries around the box, setting traps for the duration. You can ignore him, as the kobolds will. At the end, any remaining kobolds will be caught under nets, and Tambor will give you the option to slay or release them.
- A chest spawns on the floor after you complete the quest.
