Overview
The Dinosaur Unearthed is a quest with a boss called the Skeletal Tyrannosaur. Completing this quest rewards each participant with 55 gold, 500 experience, and 3 Tyrannosaur eggs. Additional Tyrannosaur eggs also become available in the Market for 3 gems each.
Availability & Cost:
It was released on January 15, 2015, and it is not yet known what annual re-release group it will be in. When available, the quest scroll can be purchased from the Quest Shop for 4 gems. It is also part of the Delightful Dinos quest bundle, which is only sometimes available but contains three different quests for only 7 gems.
Difficulty & Length:
The Skeletal Tyrannosaur's HP of 500 makes this a medium length quest, the strength multiplier of 2 gives it a base difficulty of "medium", but its rage value of 50 may increase that. Without using Warrior or Mage boss damaging skills, a four-person party typically takes less than two weeks to finish this quest, but if the rage bar fills (especially repeatedly) it may take considerably longer.
Description
As the ancient dinosaurs from the Stoïkalm Steppes roam through Habit City, a cry of terror emanates from the Grand Museum. @Baconsaur shouts,The Tyrannosaur skeleton in the museum is stirring! It must have sensed its kin!The bony beast bares its teeth and clatters towards you. How can you defeat a creature that is already dead? You'll have to strike fast before it heals itself!
Objective(s)
Defeat the Skeletal Tyrannosaur.
On Completion
The Tyrannosaur's glowing eyes grow dark, and it settles back onto its familiar pedestal. Everyone sighs with relief. "Look!" @Baconsaur says. "Some of the fossilized eggs are shiny and new! Maybe they'll hatch for you."
