Katie Hannon Express Task Force in Croatoa

Hey guys, something to think about for our higher level characters is the Katie Hannon "Express" Task Force in Croatoa.

It takes about 20 minutes to run and you get a random Rare recipe at the end (provided you pick it over an SO). The neat part about it is that if you are a higher level than the mission and auto-exemplar down to the L34 max, the recipe reward at the end is the same level as your character before the exemplar kicks in. Flambeau ran a KHEX last night and one of the guys on my team got Miracle: +Recovery. Supposedly that's a 50M recipe, but I haven't checked the boards. Also, I *think* that the recipes for Task Force completion are pulled from a separate table than regular drops. All the more reason, as combined we can really make out here. For example, Melee recipes would go to Mantlet/Orleans, Ranged to Orleans/Cacaphony, and buffs to Cacaphony. Across the board we could really make out...

Food for thought.

Banchmarked it this morning. From the time I started the task force to the completion with Rare Recipe reward was 24 minutes. I've done it quicker, as the team I was on had some issues...

Just for the record, ran 2 of these today, 2cd took 22 minutes. Reward from the first was Mako's Bite: Chance for Lethal Damage and the second was Unbounded Step: +Stealth

Good drops, considering I'm putting together a Mako set for Flambeau.

Would love to do this with you guys, drops or no drops. How many team members needed?

6 person team minimum. Flambeau has run the contact missions to launch the Task Force anytime we want. Otherwise, you can join a team there. Seems like there is always one forming.

By the way, if we do this, I suggest we do the "complete" task force. Fighting Mary Macomber 10 times in a row is a real "experience". The last couple spawns are like a horde of witches descending on a kegger whose beer supply is running out. They're frantic, beligerent, and looking to take it out on any cowens who happen to be nearby...
