SERVICE AT EIGHT is an errand CHEF ANATOLE hands out on THE BUNKER, and it wants THE PERMAFROST SAINT put down.
It is not offered cold: THE PANTRY has to be handed in first, on this same map and to this same person.
Something cold walks the service corridor and the staff will not pass it, which leaves five courses to be plated out of a kitchen nobody will walk out of. Clearing the corridor puts service back at eight. Nobody comes to that either, and the chef cooks it regardless.
What it asks
| SHAPE | WHAT | HOW MANY |
|---|---|---|
| HUNT | THE PERMAFROST SAINT | — |
- ONE BODYTHE PERMAFROST SAINT is a set piece rather than a breed, so the tracker reads a name instead of a tally — there is exactly one of them to find.
What it pays
Handing it in pays experience, 240 coins and 1 rolled piece.
The experience is authored as a SHARE of your own level bar — 0.85 of one — rather than as a figure, so the same errand is worth the same fraction of a level on the first map and the last. The table below is what that comes to for a hero at the level this venue is tuned for; take it later and it pays more.
The rolled piece goes through the ordinary drop pipeline at your own level, with 2 tiers of skew on the rarity roll — the same skew the merchant's stall takes. A quest is a second CALLER of the loot system, never a second loot system, so what it hands over is the same kind of thing a monster drops.
| WHAT | HOW MUCH |
|---|---|
| COINS | 240 |
| ROLLED LOOT | 1 (+2 tier skew) |
| DIFFICULTY | HERO LEVEL | XP |
|---|---|---|
| EASY | 28 | 30791 |
| MEDIUM | 28 | 30791 |
| HARD | 31 | 45314 |
| NIGHTMARE | 55 | 2174462 |
The chain
Comes after THE PANTRY.
A chain never crosses a map or a run: the quest log belongs to the run you are in rather than to the hero, so every link of one is taken, done and handed in on a single visit, from the same person.
