Overview
The Nefarious Ferret is a quest with an eponymous boss. Completing this quest rewards each participant with 31 gold, 200 experience, and 3 Ferret eggs. Additional Ferret eggs also become available in the Market for 3 gems each.
Availability & Cost:
It was released on November 15, 2016, 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 Cuddle Buddies quest bundle, which is only sometimes available but contains three different quests for only 7 gems.
Difficulty & Length:
The Nefarious Ferret'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
Walking through Habit City, you see an unhappy crowd surrounding a red-robed Ferret.
That productivity potion you sold me is useless! @Beffymaroo complains. "I watched three hours of TV last night instead of doing my chores!"
Yeah! shouts @Pandah. "And today I spent an hour rearranging my books instead of reading them!"
The Nefarious Ferret spreads his hands innocently. "That's more TV watching and book organizing than you'd normally get done, isnt it?"
The crowd erupts in anger.
No refunds! crows the Nefarious Ferret. He fires a bolt of magic into the crowd, preparing to escape in the smoke.
Please, Habitican! @Faye says, grabbing your arm. "Defeat the ferret and make him refund his dishonest earnings!"
Objective(s)
Defeat the Nefarious Ferret.
On Completion
You defeat the soft-furred swindler and @UncommonCriminal gives the crowd their refunds. There's even a little gold left over for you. Plus, it looks like the Nefarious Ferret dropped some eggs in his hurry to get away!
