Monstrous Mandrill and the Mischief Monkeys is a quest with a boss called the Monstrous Mandrill. Completing this quest rewards each participant with 31 gold, 200 experience, and 3 Monkey eggs. Additional Monkey eggs also become available in the Market for 3 gems each.
Availability & Cost:
It was released on February 08, 2016, and has been continuously available ever since. The quest scroll can be purchased from the Quest Shop for 4 gems. It is also part of the Jungle Buddies quest bundle, which is only sometimes available but contains three different quests for only 7 gems.
Difficulty & Length:
The Monstrous Mandrill's HP of 400 makes this a short quest, and the strength multiplier of 1.5 gives it a base difficulty of "easy". Without using Warrior or Mage boss damaging skills, a four-person party typically takes less than two weeks to finish this quest. This is a recommended quest for lower level (less than level 25) characters and smaller parties.
Description[]
The Sloensteadi Savannah is being torn apart by the Monstrous Mandrill and his Mischief Monkeys! They shriek loudly enough to drown out the sound of approaching deadlines, encouraging everyone to avoid their duties and keep monkeying around. Alas, plenty of people ape this bad behavior. If no one stops these primates, soon everyone's tasks will be as red as the Monstrous Mandrill's face!
It will take a dedicated adventurer to resist them, says @yamato.
Quick, let's get this monkey off everyone's backs! @Oneironaut yells, and you charge into battle.
Objective(s)[]
Defeat the Monstrous Mandrill.
On Completion[]
You did it! No bananas for those fiends today. Overwhelmed by your diligence, the monkeys flee in panic. "Look," says @Misceo. "They left a few eggs behind."@Leephon grins. "Maybe a well-trained pet monkey can help you as much as the wild ones hinder you!"
