Hi.
I like hunting mobsters for Dr. Livingstone, but, being a really low level
player I'm often unable to do much, because quite often he has only really big
stuff to hunt. What I had in mind, was maybe tuning the hunting so that the
targets are somehow leveled - for example low level anything up to 25 minutes
hunt time, midlevel around 25-60 min, high level anything with 60+ minutes to
hunt.
He should then only want one being of each level at a time.

The very least that I'd like to see tuned with Livingstone, is removing the
possibility for him to announce the same target that he already has on the
list. At this very moment there are 2 LARGE blue whales and a small one, so
2*125 minuter + a 85'er. Takes forever to get a new target when you're the
only one doing the hunting and a newbie like myself.

Perhaps one solution for this could be a system where you have to tell
Livingstone that you're looking for an announced target, and if no-one does,
he could just announce a new one in, say, 10-15 minutes? (If that makes the
hunting quest "too easy", just up the hunt point requirement. The actual
difficulty with the quest is really low whatever the requirement. It just asks
for some - or a bit more - sitting muscles. :)

Sorry if this sounds like crying for nothing, but from my point of view
there's a problem. I'm not sure there would be a problem if I were somewhat
bigger a player. But I'm not.

Regards,
Turms

??? livingstone targets are already leveled, big mobs have more time etc. It's
not an instant quest, you need to spend time on it.

Seeing as he is level 48 and the quest is level 47, he's probably not doing
the Master Hunter quest.

That said, he's asking that there always be one of each level available.. if
you're a newbie you can do the 25 minute ones and not be blocked by the fact
that there are 2x giant whales and 1x young whale for 2+ hours.
