Quote:From my expirience, this is not correct - Hephasto will drop the hammer if there is at least one player in the game that can complete the quest, regardless of where he's located. (Not 100% sure, but I think he may be even in different act.)
I tested it out on the realm. In a 2 player game, one character level 66 with the hell forge quest completed, and one level 1 town-sitter:
The results: you are correct, he does indeed drop the hammer in a party or in a party regardless of the presence of the town-sitter. It's odd, because I clearly remember not being able to complete the quest for some reason; probably the town sitter was in another act, or that crack I had smoked made me think that I had the quest open.
Quote:Not correct - "town-sitter" just need to be reasonably close to the act bosses at the moment of their death.
I wasn't 100% on the boss-death bit, but I thought I was right with the hellforge bit, so I bet you you're right again. That's not one I can as easily test, as all my characters are on the realm, and I don't really want to mess around with the tcp/ip stuff. Again, the crack I smoked must have clouded my memories.
Crack, don't smoke it. Trust me.

"Um, uh... just ... a guy." *flee*
