Guild Wars 2 – Help Zippti Study the Hyper-Aggressive Skritt

“Help Zippti's golems with their experiments, fight the skritt, knock over their shinies, and active tracking devices to monitor their response.”

Head North of the Mabon Waypoint into the Ruins of the Unseen. There you will find Researcher Zippti with her numerous golems and contraptions.

Researcher Zippti: Are you here to help me with my research? These skritt are far more aggressive than most, so be careful. It's likely why Dekkti wants us studying them. It's certainly an interesting phenomenon.
Hero: Yes, interesting. Can I help you?
Zippti: If you can't, you're waiting my time. I left out tracking devices for the skritt to find. The skritt take them because they're shiny, but they can get turned off when the skritt tinker with them. See where this is going.
Hero: Anything else?
Zippti: We're monitoring skritt reactions to various stimuli. You can provide that stimuli. Knock over their gears or “shiny things,” or just fight them directly. They're abnormally hostile so we won't miss any casualties.

Head to the North from Zippti to start finding the Shiny Tracking devices and numerous shiny things to interact with. The Gear Piles and the Skritt Shiny Things will cause any of the nearby Skritt to come charging at you.

When it comes to fighting the Skritt try to keep it to one or two tops. They do a fair amount of damage which makes it more difficult to take them down. Still, they are more dangerous than tough. Just throw good attacks at them and they will go down quickly enough.

The remaing one, the golems, is not too frequent. On the off chance you find a golem down you can revive it as you would anything else. It does not happen much short of someone finding the right sequence of a Skritt getting the better of one.

When everything is complete then you will receive the letter, “Research Progressing” with 79 copper.

“Krewe Field Update: Skritt research progressing. Widd and Genna excited and busy. Work done by Hero producing practical applications. Copies sent to Hero and Arcane Council – Researcher Zippti.
