Talk:Bonetti

Is this guy connected to some quest? I've never seen him, and as you can probably tell from some of my edits, I've spent a lot of time in Old Ascalon recently. --Rainith 14:15, 7 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * When I ran into him and took the screenshot I had no quests active on my log for the Ascalon area. But I was wondering the same. He seems kinda missplaced in Old Ascalon, as there are no other human foes around, especially no other renegades/bandits. His odd location, the fact that he is human, and the fact that even a skill is named after him, all these imply to me that there is more to this guy than just a "normal" boss. There must be a story. Which I havn't found out about yet. --Tetris L 16:12, 7 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * I can verify that I have never met him in that area with my Warrior/Mo nor E/Me.. My W/Mo even went back and did all the tiny quests for the secondary professions and still did not meet him. I have killed that load of Gargoyles and Grawls outside Sardelac at least a dozen times. Maybe he's in Regent Valley? Still, part of what? --Karlos 16:23, 7 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * Killed him yesterday. He was right near Thaddiel. -- Serps 16:31, 7 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Great! The question is WHEN does he show and when does he not show. What prof were you?? What quests were on your log? What time of day was it? :) --Karlos 16:38, 7 Oct 2005 (EST)
 * N/Me, doing Scavengers in Old Ascalon. Other notable quests I had open were The Ambassador's Quandary. As an aside, I've been seeing a few strange things with Old Ascalon lately. I was doing Family Ties and suddenly there were roving bands of 3 Charr all over the place (not that I minded). -- Serps 17:35, 7 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * I'd guess he's just random, like so many bosses. One time he's there, another time he isn't. --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 18:21, 7 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Yes. Like I said, when I ran into Bonetti yesterday I had no Ascalon quests active on my log. (I've completed all of them long time ago.) I was just exploring the area. Bonetti is definetly not tied to any quest. The only other reason I could think of is that I was a warrior, like him. But since Serps is not a warrior, we can rule that out too. The location that Bonetti spawns seems to be fixed, but he doesn't always spawn. I guess it's random, like most bosses, but with a rather low chance. --Tetris L 18:45, 7 Oct 2005 (EST)

I finally ran into him today, as I'm running around taking pictures of the collectors. --Rainith 11:36, 10 Oct 2005 (EST)

It's funny. I've encountered Bonetti several times, knew of Bonetti's Defense, know he possesses the skill but I've never actually seen him use it. --Havral Glommon 09:28, 3 February 2006 (UTC)


 * He doesn't use it often (if at all), but if you check with SoC you can see that he has it. -- 10:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Capturing this skill
"Bonetti is the earliest place in the game you can obtain Bonetti's Defense. If you are a Warrior and have access to Signets of Capture via runs, it is highly recommended you take one and use it on him." Note added by Slade xTekno <- I am removing that note. Bonettis Defense is available as a quest reward in Beacon's Perch. That's earlier than anyone can get access to an SoC, even with runs. So anybody using an SoC for this skill is wasting a skill point. For sure that is not "highly recommended". --Tetris L 15:15, 17 October 2005 (EST)
 * You can get a SoC as soon as you get out of Pre-Searing if your guild hall has a skill trainer.--Coloneh 19:03, 24 September 2006 (CDT)

Still a waste of a skillpoint, and don't you have to complete the SoC quest to actualy be able to buy them anyway?
 * No you don't. I think it's worth mentioning as Bonneti's Defense is a pretty cool stance. One of the only ones a Warrior can use for a permanent evasion stance. Too bad about the pesky drawback. 58.110.136.169 17:12, 3 August 2007 (CDT)

appearence
maybe, like the flame spiiter collector, he only appears when u are alone, if alternatively if you are in a party?  :: Soqed Hozi :: 

I don't know, he wasn't there for 3 times that I went. 83.153.196.66 12:13, 24 June 2007 (CDT)


 * I saw him for the first time the other day when I was vanquishing and I have been playing since 2005. I think he might be a random spawn? Otherwise I probably just didn't go to that part of the map before. It IS a way out of the way from my usual route. Another possibility is maybe he patrols? 58.110.136.169 17:14, 3 August 2007 (CDT)
