Bug [TEI] Quest: Wasting Time

The quest, as it reads when you select it says to complete in order, collect (4800) Prometium from either the 2-4 or 3-4 maps, then collect (4800) Prometium from the 2-3 or 3-3 maps.

In the 6 years I have played the game, Prometium has not appeared on the x-3 or x-4 maps, only Endurium and Terbium. So it appears the quest is living up to it's name. LOL

Also, while checking the FAQ on this specific quest, there is a second issue.
The FAQ entry talks of the 4800 Prometium rocks required, but only one x-4 map is to be visited; then the other half of the quest talks about collecting Endurium on a single x-3 map.
Was this a typo?

 

I just did that quest by collecting cargo mate...

 

The quest requirements are to collect the resources this can be from rock collection or from cargo boxes. The quest set up this way to keep you on the enemy maps to PvE and PvP instead of playing it safe and using a cloak just collecting rocks. It is know in the trade as a cannon fodder mission.

 

Okay, I understand the cannon fodder concept. It is just usually that when the rock icon is used, only the rocks themselves are counted and the cargo resource drops would not count to the goal.
Feel free to close when you can.

 

Closing as answered/requested.

Take Care.
