Overview
The Push-and-Pull Peacock is a quest with an eponymous boss. Completing this quest rewards each participant with 25 gold, 125 experience, and 3 Peacock eggs. Additional Peacock eggs also become available in the Market for 3 gems each.
Availability & Cost:
It was released on March 14, 2017, 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 Bird Buddies quest bundle, which is only sometimes available but contains three different quests for only 7 gems.
Difficulty & Length:
The Push-and-Pull Peacock's HP of 300 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 about a week to finish this quest. This is a recommended quest for lower level (less than level 25) characters and smaller parties.
Description
You trek through the Taskwoods, wondering which of the enticing new goals you should pick. As you go deeper into the forest, you realize that you're not alone in your indecision. "I could learn a new language, or go to the gym..." @Cecily Perez mutters. "I could sleep more," muses @Lilith of Alfheim, "or spend time with my friends..." It looks like @PainterProphet, @Pfeffernusse, and @Draayder are equally paralyzed by the overwhelming options.
You realize that these ever-more-demanding feelings aren't really your own... you've stumbled straight into the trap of the pernicious Push-and-Pull Peacock! Before you can run, it leaps from the bushes. With each head pulling you in conflicting directions, you start to feel burnout overcoming you. You can't defeat both foes at once, so you only have one option -- concentrate on the nearest task to fight back!
Objective(s)
Defeat the Push-and-Pull Peacock.
On Completion
The Push-and-Pull Peacock is caught off guard by your sudden conviction. Defeated by your single-minded drive, its heads merge back into one, revealing the most beautiful creature you've ever seen. "Thank you," the peacock says. "I’ve spent so long pulling myself in different directions that I lost sight of what I truly wanted. Please accept these eggs as a token of my gratitude."
