Great guide as for where everyone is. I just did it on a ranger with no extra movement speed, in the Tuvala gear. Not even on a horse. Just sprinted through town manually, dodging NPCs so as not to get slowed down. I definitely like the order you listed them in, as well, and for the 5th guy, I just jumped off the bridge to him and then ran under the bridge, up the stairs to the right and right at Rubin for the finish. Had about 20 seconds to spare.
Hello 🙂 Great job on finishing the quest!
I have the impression that this quest is bugged I finish it in 1 minute 29 seconds & it keep telling me that I’m out of time…
It might be, but this is the first I’ve heard about it. You’ve already abandoned the quest to retry and it keeps doing the same thing?
I am also having this issue, I grabbed the quest like a year ago and dropped it now I’m trying to do it again and no beans
Edit; Seems to start with 0:00 and immediately goes to Exceeded Time Limit, you must chat with the NPC and select [Timed Quest] I’m Ready to start if you have given up and are trying again.
Same here.
You have to chat with the NPC after accepting the quest.
It will show the option to start the timer.
This is bugged and you won’t be able to progress. Time exceeds upon accepting the quest.
Hopefully you figured it out by now, but once you accept, you talk to Rubin about and tell him you’re ready.
