Mark's BBQ is Mark's summer barbecue: a first quest that asks for three ingredients, followed by three bigger quests that ask for 30 of one of them. It was reported as "the ingredients don't drop". They do now, but only once you have accepted the quest, and each quest uses its own copy of the item.
Summer Break: Mark's BBQ
| Quest | Level | Bring | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer Break: Mark's BBQ - Start | 8 | 10 Charcoal, 10 BBQ Sauce, 10 Maple Raw Meat | 800 EXP, a Maple BBQ and The Stars and Stripes (a weapon, +30 Weapon Attack and +10 STR) |
| Summer Break: Mark's BBQ. | 8 | 30 BBQ Sauce | 800 EXP, a Maple BBQ |
| Summer Break: Mark's BBQ.. | 30 | 30 Charcoal | 25,000 EXP, a Maple BBQ |
| Summer Break: Mark's BBQ... | 70 | 30 Maple Raw Meat | 160,000 EXP, a Maple BBQ |
The three follow-ups (with one, two and three dots in the title) are unlocked by finishing the Start quest. The Maple BBQ is a food item: Weapon Attack +13 and Magic Attack +13 for 20 minutes.
How to do it
- Accept the Start quest from Mark and kill monsters anywhere. Charcoal, BBQ Sauce and Maple Raw Meat drop from any monster at 5% per kill each while the quest is open (about 200 kills for 10 of each). See Event Quest Item Drops.
- Hand in the Start quest.
- Accept the follow-up for your level range. The follow-ups need 30 of one ingredient, and that ingredient drops at 15% per kill while the quest is open (about 200 kills for 30).
Independence Day: Mark's Barbecue Party
A separate quest from the same Mark, with no level requirement and no prerequisite. Bring 50 Pig's Head, 50 Tree Branch and 50 Leather. These are ordinary monster drops and drop without accepting the quest: Pig's Head from Pig, Tree Branch from Stump on every kill, Leather from Pigs, Ribbon Pigs and many others. The reward is 430,000 EXP, an Independence Day Hat and 10 Barbecue.
Common problems
- "Charcoal, BBQ Sauce and Maple Raw Meat will not drop."
- Fixed for the Start quest and all three follow-ups. Accept the quest first.
- "I handed in the Start quest and the follow-up wants the same items again."
- See the warning above: they are separate items.
- "Mark does not offer the quest in my town."
- He is in the 11 towns listed above only.
