All that Sunshine collectin' makes fer thirsty work.
Steps
- Bring Zach 2 bottles of his Great Pappy's Legendary Liquor.
- Legendary Liquor drops from high-level CL66 bogeril near The Roost.
- You need 2x Legendary Liquor to advance to the next step (he takes the liquor).
- Unless you are a multi-box 6-account army with dps/healing/debuffing, bring friends.
- Do not shoot the Scuttle-Bug Cow or the game will attempt to kill you even harder.
- Build 3 Sturdy Solar Cells and talk to Zach. IMPORTANT: These can be traded and are NOT lost when completing this step.
- If you are doing this mission on several characters at the same time, transfer the Cells to the alternate characters before you build the Panel from them.
- Show your Sturdy Solar Panel to Zachariah Garrett. IMPORTANT: This can be traded and is NOT lost when completing this step.
- 2500 Trade XP, 2500 Explore XP
- Find Kernel Smithson and acquire Zach's recipe book. Y'all mebbe wanna bring some buds along on dis' one.
- On arriving at the nav, 2500 Combat XP, 2500 Trade XP
- The Kernel can be found at "Da Hind End a' Nowhere" in der Todesengel. This nav is SW of Shootin' Range at -120x, -120y.
- Tan Kernel Smithson's hide fer takin' Zach's book
- Recommend two healers for support, a TE for hacking and good debuffers, a JD to summon (these mobs like to kite you)
- Loot L1 Handy Solar Projects Manual
- This fight is 1x CL66 + 2x CL65 escorts.
- They have high plasma resist.
- They are invulnerable until the mission taker shoots them (often even after mission taker has shot them).
Notes
- Step 4 and 5 are the same step really. You only have to kill Smithson and get away. IMPORTANT: the group hits VERY HARD and often becomes immune once Smithson is dead, even if the toon with the quest has attacked all three ships.
- This mission disappears from your log once you loot the Handy Solar Projects Manual (this happens for all toons that have the mission, its very confusing).
- CRITICAL: If multiple toons are ALL on step 4/5, in your group, you will NOT be able to progress the mission. In order to get the recipes missions, all toons must get the manual. As such you can only kill/loot the Smithson with 1 toon that has the mission. The other(s) MUST drop group before the Kernal is killed or they will be stuck and NOT be able to summon Smithson again.
- Visit Zachariah (with 3 Legendary Liquor in cargo) to get the recipe missions.
