A tip for the Help Aislin Quest:

You will enter the quest in an alternate map of Tir Chonail. You cannot summon pets.


You will be located in the Graveyard.


Tombstones:
The objective of the quest is to dig upon the tombstones around you which comes in 2 flavors:


There are 17 tombstones to interact with but each has a surprise.


You may encounter:
My advice is to distinguish each tombstone for the likely hood of what can be expected.

The red arrows point to a 50% to 90% of encountering a Peeved Mummy Servant; the green arrows point to a 50% to 90% of the Halloween Coffin Mimic. Results may vary, however, this is what my experience have lead me to my results. (To remove the grass click open the Options menu; the grass will disappear.)

Peeved Mummy Servants:
On dealing with the Peeved Mummy Servants, summon a Marionette next to the ruins on the northwest:


Also on the southeast ruin:



Place the marionette where the Mummy Servants will not push them away or reach them. You can guide the Mummy servants to the marionette which distracts their aggro away from yours. Continue weaving back to each tombstone then back around to your marionette for each Mummy servant encounter.

Off-topic:
Apart from the event this map of Tir Chonail is quite useful for production. Tools the like loom and spinning wheel can be used; gather firewood; harvest grain, but you are unable to use the mill. You can gather water and even fish. The greatest thing about this place is that there is always a storm and it's raining which increases the lucky bonus and success of production/life skills.

There is a Giant Vampire Bat outside - north of Bangor, Reignhalt/Gairech Hill.

There is an announcement-crawler that says the Giant Vampire Bat has appeared; it appears around 12 am in-game and disappears around 3:30 am in-game. It flies around the rock just before the moon gate and the entrance to Bangor.

When you hit it, you acquire Giant Vampire Bat's Blood that seems to relate to Bran. It must be part of a quest later on.

I started on Tarlach and got curious on what other servers were like. My actual goal was to have the Friend of Malcolm title and have my character name be repeated on each server. However, for every attempt I made, just one my characters failed to getting the title. I eventually deleted the failures but also failed to repeat the process since before I could use that name again, someone else has taken the name.
I went to Ruairi next, then Mari after. I stayed in Ruairi the longest. Tarlach is the the friendliest; a peaceful server, Ruairi is the hang-out spot/PvP server, Mari is the fashionogi server, Alexina is the market server.
When the hacker-scare was happening - spreading from Ruairi and Tarlach; I decided to make one more back up character in Alexina, which became my main server. I forgot my login name, password, e-mail to my other accounts.
My oldest account was also affected by Google/Gmail deleting email accounts. I have no way of permanently fixing and transferring my Nexon account to another for that character.

Why isn't there a bridge in Dunbarton in-game; this event should be dedicated to these dogs...

When mining in Hillwen Mine, try to kill only those in the very area (in the immediate area) you are working at; the rest will despawn and disappear over time. Some may get the Ancient title in a much extended period.
In Shyllien Reserve the same can be said however, over time the horde will eventually respawn on the spaces that are not occupied where you are not gathering or where no one else is around.

• Monsters will appear slowly if they are killed one at a time and they will appear in hordes if they are killed at the same time together.
• Some monsters will respawn with the effects animation from the last skill used on them like Chain Crush's stun effect will cause a monster to appear with the spinning stars if they suffered from it previously.
• Killing mobs and hordes of monsters will have them spawn in 2 manners: they will respawn more frequently in the area you killed them; they will respawn far away from where you killed them.
  • The first instance of respawn is to make you the player move around to prevent camping penalty while the second instance is by triggering the camping penalty which has the horde respawn far away to benefit only those that need to gather or harvest materials and ingredients such as herbs and ores.
  • The respawn may cause more to appear to challenge the player to either make them leave if the horde becomes too difficult to defeat while also decreasing the odds to make the drop rate of items since more and more monsters appear. When camping penalty is triggered the drop rate also decrease since hardly any monster appear if not they are not where the player is hunting; the player either waits or finds another horde.
• Hunting a particular item from a specific monster is not random, this applies to the Huge Lucky from monsters and deposits, veins, and herb patches too. Each monster, herb patch, ore vein, and deposit will drop that item and result in a Huge Lucky infrequently but will have the highest rate of getting the drop or Huge Lucky. This resets after each maintenance and is shifted to another monster, ore vein, deposit, etc.. I found out about this after hunting for dorcha crystals, ores and gathering herbs for a whole week. It shifted after each maintenance.
• Each channel has their own respawn area for each monster.
• Monsters will always walk or run back to where they originally spawn from if they move far away; this happens if they chased the player or are lured away. Some will stay put if their AI doesn't allow them to return to a specific place (like Golems or mimics).

I am talking about field monsters here. Bandits in disguise and bandit hunting is part of a dungeon or shadow mission and have a different way of working I noticed.

This is just my experience after harvesting at Hillwen Mine and Shyllien Reserve, and at other places where you can gather; others may see it differently.
