@ flowerladytoo: Yeah, the sudoku is just a bonus quest for more Spine tokens and a quest satchel. It doesn't prevent you from doing the story quests.

You do have the option to pay Bush Bucks to skip the puzzle, if you want the treasure from completing it 4 times.

The chest had an item in it that Sacagawea put into the word display at the entrance of the city.

It wasn't any treasure for you to actually keep, just a story piece.

It also unlocked the 2nd Challenge trial, so now it will alternate between that and sudoku for you, until you unlock more of the story.

we need a globe icon to get to the rock city.
scenario that happened to me and perhaps everyone else:
whacked in flux, completed some daily quests and some tent quests too, one of which activated expedition 5, go to tent to turn those in, get teleported to rock city by the blackboard guy, BUT I go to commons to turn in those quests first, HAVE to use globe to go to cliffs of korak to get back into rock city (thus destroying my return to last area shortcut arrow).
please do not say 'well don't do your turn in;s in that order' or 'well go back to tent using the globe and walk all the way up to the blackboard and have him teleport you to rock city again'.
know how many more clicks and time those 'options' take? more then 0.
thank you

Magellan doesn't have a offer unless there is an ongoing expedition. Which makes doing the Skerbak trials with no expedition a pain.

@ Chevalis....

Megallan sends us to to City Of Rocksmashers to do all expedition's AND,,OR , he will send us to assist an NPC in the tent to help them out ,,It is an 8 quester and it takes 4 days to get the 8 quester done.(2 quests a day).....then after that 8 quester is done,,(like the tactician one today for Barca), Megellan will inform us of another expedition.(which happened to me today it was the 5th expedition).Also..new items are added in the hub store after every expedition which I like..

Also,,,doing the Skerbak trials puzzles is not a pain at all. It is a bonus thing that will lead us to more happenings in City Of Rocksmashers. It is just a matter of waiting 7 days but, if you use the timey wimey it cuts off 10 % of waiting time for the next one to do AGAIN..SO...I watch the cooldowns to see when I get my next puzzle is ready to do. And when ready, then I go and get the puzzle quest done ASAP.(because of the time factor for the next trial puzzle to do) Then I start my dailies for commons and tent.

Moreover,,,I am enjoying all happenings in the explorer Hub and in the City Of Rocksmashers..I look, I watch, I wait and I read for the right time for all quests...I have been doing all that and having fun and enjoying the new content and story line...just saying what I have been doing since it started......I love this new hub,,, it is the best one yet put out by the dev's....I find this ''ALL''' so easy to comprehend and do.....just sayin....

@Barbara...

I think you missed my point. First, despite my low post content I have been playing this for 4 years, so I understand how the game works.

My point was this. Skerbak trials are on a 6 day 20 hour cooldown. Magellan quests often have a 3 day waiting period. If the trials reset during the wait period... Then you have to manually hike into Skerbak city, especially if you have been doing your normal whacking in the Flux.

Now, there is a graphical bug with the world map where only the top left corner is displayed on some machines and browsers.. This can sometimes be fixed by zooming in and back out, but again this depends on the browser and machine you are on. It's not a guaranteed fix. If this fix doesn't work then you have to hike from basically the furthest teleport point which is the Explorer's Tent to get to Skerbak. If the world map is working, you still have to hike from the beginning of the Cliffs of Korak to Skerbak.

So if you aren't actively whacking in Skerbak, because there isn't an active expedition in Skerbak, the teleport dialog disappears from Magellan. Which gives you no expedient route to Skerbak, via Magellan or the return button. (Since the return button will take you back to the flux or outside the Explorer's tent.)

Hope that explains why we are asking for a teleporter to Skerbak. The teleport dialog is a nice fix when there is an expedition on going but it's flawed by disappearing when there isn't one.

p.s. unless it has been corrected already, the trials, the sudoku's currently are exactly 7 days apart, not 6 days 20 hours.

I have been playing as well for 4 odd years and know the game veryyy well and really no igorance is coming from me towards you.

I did not misunderstand your comment at all.

I ''ALSO'' agree with the icon needed or a TP..,,(I stated as such in my latter comment).

I do not mind having to go to the Cliffs without a TP or icon for now..I am sure the dev's are looking into for us.

Moreover..remember, all people in life do read/interpret things differently.
(which is what happened here) I see.

The City Trials is a 6 day 20 hr wait.

I hope this helps you to understand as well...what was stated.

Happy whacking..Chevalis, (^_^)...from an addicted BW2 player....again love the new hub it is the best yet...and kudos to the dev's........just saying.....
