will the BFG return?

[Kileras]

I forget the details, but from my understanding people were exploiting the quest so it was removed? Is there any chance that the quest will be coming back into the game in the near future or has it been removed for good?

[Man0warr]

They said as soon as they can make the plank spawning classic (i.e. super rare) and not exploitable they would return the quest for some amount of time. They will also most likely remove all the planks people have already gathered/corpsed.

plank is spawning

i feel making this item harder to attain takes a lot of potential fun away

would rather see 30% of the population with 1 bfg / account then 0.003%, but thats just me

plank is spawning yes, but our understanding is when they finally fix the spawnrates/locations to the way they intended them that they will:

1. Remove all existing planks
2. Return the quest components (sans the plank) to the people who had BFGs removed
3. Return the quest NPC

So we can access the rare "Doom" zone and obtain the BFG 9000?

I dont know how you misunderstood, but you did.

All existing planks = poof.

No one is going to get a plank returned. The Giant Drake Wing & 100 foot rope will be returned.
