Jim Raynor	Posted - 2005.03.11 04:28:00 - [1] I've been trying to get this tag forever, no one seems to be selling it. I'm willing to pay quite a few hundred million isk for it, I don't feel like hunting for it, though I guess I could but it's easier to buy from a person luckier than myself I imagine. Perhaps this tag is too rare? It seems like the other faction bship offers have easier tags to get. Maybe I'm just a whiner but I've been trying for a while to get this tag and it's just not happening, no one is selling, no one has it, it used to be more common. I feel like after grinding out 500k LP worth of missions I should be able to get my ship. ~_~ ------ ROBBLE ROBBLE
Sorja	Posted - 2005.03.11 04:32:00 - [2] Why don't you post the whole offer text? Since I had to find a hidden complex for a tag, I enjoy tag hunting and would consider getting that one for you if it's not too far from my usual hunting grounds.
Jim Raynor	Posted - 2005.03.11 04:53:00 - [3] Offered Items: These items are being offered to you by your agent: one unit of Raven Navy Issue Blueprint (single run copy, material level: 20, productivity level: 8) Cost: The agent is requesting the following as payment for the item: one unit of Estamel Tharchon's Tag <-impossible to find one unit of Taisu Magdesh's Insignia <-complex npc one unit of Dread Guristas Crystal Tag <-market ten units of Guristas Diamond Tag <-market ten units of Guristas Platinum Tag <-market 500000 Loyalty Points <-2 months of mission running :\ ------ ROBBLE ROBBLE
Eddie Mac	Posted - 2005.03.11 06:56:00 - [4] Had the same problem. If you can face the extra 1-3 weeks of missions, the 600k CN Raven offer is 'easier'. It is.... 1x CN Raven (pre-built, not a BPC) for 1000x Slaves 1000x Quafe Ultra 60x Morphite 1x Caldari AZ-1 Nexus Chip 1x Raven I got the chip with a 80mill buy order in Lonetrek. Had some slaves in system and bought some from other mission runners (loot from 'in same system' rouge-slave-trader missions). The Quafe Ultra.... a total bar-steward. A guy was going to smuggle it into my agent's system for me but his method of smuggling was 'fixed' over a recent downtime. So Im stuck on the Quafe ultra atm. If you can get round the contraband problem and face the extra missions, then this offer isn't as bad as the 500k one. gl with the tag.

No more missions.. no more.. :( I have 1,000 slaves but theyre 11 jumps away, rogue trade slaver mission is NEVER in same system as me, ever. ugh!!!! ------ ROBBLE ROBBLE
Randay	Posted - 2005.03.11 08:51:00 - [6] quafe ultra is contraband? i dont remember seeing that in the info.
Mallik Hendrake	Posted - 2005.03.11 08:54:00 - [7] Solution to the quafe ultra thing: Buy 100,000 units of quafe ultra. Make an alt and get him amarr indy 1. Keep flying until you make it. Also consider scouting as it seems if there are no customs dudes on the gate you are safe. And I believe there's a raw 50% chance you make it through unmolested.
Randay	Posted - 2005.03.11 09:20:00 - [8] i just checked and theres nothing in the show info that says quafe ultra is contraband, even if it is it only weighs .1 m3 so you could transport it in a inty :)
Haceldema	Posted - 2005.03.11 09:50:00 - [9] I believe it's possible to make an alt with the smuggling skill at char creation now, despite it not being on the market. At least a corp mate claimed he had it on an alt he created recently.
Jim Steele	Posted - 2005.03.11 10:46:00 - [10] er quaffe ultra isnt contraband, its the slaves that are, even so i believe you only get fined in caldari space not killed so if you can find some a reasonable distance away you should be able to get it to your agent. Death to the Galante
Eddie Mac	Posted - 2005.03.11 11:43:00 - [11] Hmmm, I seem to have hijacked this thread. Thnx for the info/advice all. I'll try the alt-thing when I get back from work. Back on topic; I agree, that this particular tag is far too rare to make the 500k offer any good. The offer is called "once in a lifetime(?) hunt" (or something similar, I forget). But the idea that you can go to 0.0 and hunt a particular officer is stupid. A complex based NPC rat (maybe that drop no loot other than the tag) would make more sense. At least then you could actually have a location where you would get the tag. Not several 0.0 regions where you might be astronomically lucky and get a particular officer spawn.
spikie1	Posted - 2005.03.11 11:46:00 - [12] You can get nexus chip for this offer by doing missions for any of the caldari construction corps ie wycormi corp and kiallotta excuse the spelling for 8-20k lps dont pay the extreme prices people are asking for ive stopped accepting these offers now cause 2 people have abused the system asking me for chips and then reselling them so if i tell you all how to get em if you want em its easy now
Faster ThanJesus	Posted - 2005.03.11 12:41:00 - [13] I've got to agree, this is insane. /me starts working up to 600k (and hoping to get that offer) and adds a new agent to get that chip
Marcus Aurelius	Posted - 2005.03.11 12:59:00 - [14] there are more people working on the caldari navy raven offer then on any other faction BS offer. The tags in other missions are just as rare, just alot less in demand. I've got two gurista officer tags in my hangar (no not estamel sadly enough or Jim woulda gotten one by now), and the reason I'm not selling is because there's agent runners in my corp working on caldari offers too. So, demand for estamels tag is highest, supply should be average since the north has grown stable and quiet lately.
Commander Flopsy	Posted - 2005.03.11 13:01:00 - [15] I can't try it now, but is it possible to get one of the NPC locating services to help find Estamel Tharchon for you? -- There is no SoonÖ
Marcus Aurelius	Posted - 2005.03.11 13:06:00 - [16] Originally by: Commander Flopsy I can't try it now, but is it possible to get one of the NPC locating services to help find Estamel Tharchon for you? No, Anyway, that would be an exploit if you could btw, but you cant. Estamel is a 10 million isk npc gurista officer that spawns about as often as a 87 year old la-tourette patient can expect to get one-night stands. Thats the whole reason for it being rare and expensive: agent running bonanza + rare officer spawn with noone looking for it = no tag = whining.
WhiteTiger	Posted - 2005.03.11 13:31:00 - [17] Isn't this amazing. If you believe all the whiners on the 'nerf the agents' threads getting a faction BS is just about the easiest thing in the game to do...instant win or so they say. Looks like there is still some need to hunt in 0.0 after all. Good luck on finding the tag, I doubt they will get easier to find as more and more people reach the 500k level and want to cash in.
Sorja	Posted - 2005.03.11 14:26:00 - [18] Jim, it's the first part of the offer that gives the tag's location
Jim Raynor	Posted - 2005.03.11 18:07:00 - [19] Originally by: Sorja Jim, it's the first part of the offer that gives the tag's location dont have the mission yet, just enough LP to get it at some point looks like im chugging away for the 600k lp offer :\ Taisu is in a hidden complex in thelan i do believe ------ ROBBLE ROBBLE
Droidster	Posted - 2005.03.11 18:35:00 - [20] TAISU MAGDESH I thought Taisu was a Mordu mission rat. Above it says he is in a complex. Which is it? _____________________________________________ I am motivated by various things, mostly ISK.
Jim Raynor	Posted - 2005.03.11 18:37:00 - [21] Originally by: Droidster TAISU MAGDESH I thought Taisu was a Mordu mission rat. Above it says he is in a complex. Which is it? from what i understand he's in thelan, in a complex, and he's a mordu npc, but has stats closer to an angel battleship. ------ ROBBLE ROBBLE
Uggster	Posted - 2005.03.11 21:49:00 - [22] I got the Caldari version of the required BS chip for 10k LP's from an agent in Nonni. No sodding about with bottles of saints sweat, eyes of newt, or teeth of elder dragons just 10k LP's and a handshake. Never relised it was worth so much but now i do. Sweeeet.
Faster ThanJesus	Posted - 2005.03.11 23:24:00 - [23] Taisu is a mordus rat in a complex at thelan. Supposedly it is a mercenary outpost. Yes, it's weird, Taisu even he/she is in a raven shows up on the overview as a cruiser
TomPeK	Posted - 2005.03.14 14:42:00 - [24] Well ive had estamel's tag now for 3weeks, waiting for 500k Navy Raven offer, but since the devs tinkered with offering system, all ive been offered is smartbomb's/rail/cloaking diveces. Up to nearly 800,000 lp and getting well ****ed.

Up to nearly 800,000 lp and getting well ****ed. Heh, i got the offer at 506k LP. I've now got 1 day to get the tag, or my 500k offer expires. Can't get the tag for love nor money, so i'm now gunning for 600k (almost there now).

Maybe you'll be the first person to get the 5 run BS BPC that everyone has forgot about :) Then you can retire, or buy a Cap Recharger 2 BPO or summat :)
boubou bzh	Posted - 2005.03.16 10:36:00 - [27] Tompek, if u don't need anymore your estamel tag, i would like it
