How to complete the "Stolen Goods" timed quest? Read complete post inside!

[Gears]

Apparently I was never able to complete this particular 'Timed Quest' so I tried to give it a another go but I noticed something interesting.

Stolen Goods
Our enemies are a good source of trade goods. Loot 120 trade goods from multiplayer battles. Ends in 3d.

Rewards: 5 crowns

Many would think this is easy but this quest comes with a caveat.

For those who don't know: Suppose you were to obtain 2 Fur and 2 Leather trade goods from a single battle then after returning from that multiplayer battle, the quest would get updated as 2 trade goods obtained. Like me when I first noticed this, probably many of you are confused by now and think that it might be a bug. After asking the customer service whether this is a bug, I came to know that there is no bug except the quest takes into account the amount of unique trade goods you collect in a single battle, i.e., multiple trade goods of same kind are still counted as 1.

Example: 3 Fur, 2 Leather, 3 Diamond, 4 Cider, 2 Metal trade goods, will be counted as 5 Trade goods for this particular timed quest instead of 14 trade goods.

So I'd like to ask players who were able to complete this particular timed quest involving 120 Trade goods, how did you complete this particular event?

I don't think I've ever completed this one, and I raid a lot.

 

[LordJestix]

I have never been able to complete it.

I mentioned this in the bugs forums. BHG responded that they know of the issue, but have bigger things to fix first. I think the quick, easy fix is to just adjust the number required down by at least half until the fix can be vetted. That's an easy solution. Or just remove the from the valid list of goals. It does suck to have a nearly impossible goal on your list, taking up space.

I havent finished a troop training one either, i think its almost 4k troops in 2 days or something like that.

 

[Quovatis]

I've completed it a few times. Sometimes my raiding army consists of 100+ german foot soldiers, and the quick retrain time gets the count up quickly.

 

[yemen]

I've never done this one. Troop training I hit occasionally if purely raiding with foot troops and playing A LOT. But 120 trade goods in three days I just ignore, largely thanks to the bug that only counts one of each trade good taken. 60 would be a bit of a stretch, but at least possible. 120 is just silly.

 

[Motaz Tarek]

talking about nearly impossible goals, what about the 285 medal, the 60 tactic, the 13 mercs, all type of animal hunt quests
almost all goals become impossible at GA AA and not worth the crowns

 

[Thud_]

I finish this, and other timed goals, routinely at AA.

raiding a lot helps collect trade goods. Many players don't but their store house behind walls. 5 star victories helps also, it's common to collect 4 or 5 types of goods from an active player.

 

[Bigbrother]

Keep nexting drop 2-4 soliders on the store house. It's not hard but a bit of dizziness

Easy like the previous comment said have 2 pikes to drop medals, 1 on each base then u've still got full strength army when bases can be substantially profited from

The resolution of the pic you shared is way too low for me to make out the text in it.

So were you able to loot 120 trade goods from multiplayer battles since there is another smaller version of this particular quest which requires you to collect 10 trade goods?

 

[Tsamu]

I ignore this quest. I have completed it a few times, but it is not worth it. If you really want to complete it, town centers are a better source of goods than storehouses. Look for bases with the TC outside, and snipe them by dropping a shooter next to the TC to draw out the defenders, drop another shooter on the other side of the base to distract them, then drop 4 or 5 infantry on the TC

 

[Bosten89]

hers a better pic i hope 118 done with 2 days 3 hrs left

 

[LordJestix]

Mind sharing those oil shipments with me?

 

[LordAnubis]

i've completed it a few times. the only way you can do it is keep buying blessings and burning mercs in attacks. but i dont really about timed quests anyways seeing that im sitting on 18,000 from double offers......

 

[packlad]

It is even more silly considering there is another quest to loot just 10 trade goods in 24 hours for the same reward
