Anniversary Task: The Short Circuit  

Went through the text and everything was fine except i was never actually given the task. 2 lvl 97's and a lvl 96 character. EDIT: Tried again. Had no problem requesting it with any of the 3 characters. Maybe it was the patch and it wasn't mentioned or some internal server problem that they fixed without bringing down the servers. In any case. Happy hunting. EDIT: That fair amount of exp sux btw. I got less then 3 aa points even though i had 100% going into AA.. I only had a little over 3k aa to begin with. Probably better off taking the Olive. Maybe they will add a brewing recipee that lets you use the olive to make some nice alcohol some day. EDIT: Oh its a snake house decoration kind of thing. I thought it was something else. Oh well. Take Olive for sure over the weak exp.

I kept trying to turn in my gears with no luck, was I not reading the quest or her text? I missed what 2-4-7 could be. She wouldn't take any of my gears... Just wondering what exactly you mean by this spoiler and how I can get my pet snake.
