Glad to see these puzzles back in the game.
Yeah, I'll wait for an addon, I never liked these types of quests.
Although I've never had a problem with the introduction of puzzles as the obstacle in daily quests (didn't even grimace at the repurposing of the wire puzzle from the Legion toy as a daily quest in Naz) but I would have expected something more esoteric for puzzle boxes created by ancients rather than reusing two and the rest are basic switch off and match 3. I mean even the titan golem puzzles from Cata needed some thought even with their simplicity and were unique despite only turning up for a few quests and the mini game puzzles for the Kirin Tor dailies were unique and thematic.
Technically the Nazjatar puzzles were not the originals, but instead ports of the Legion engineering toys. That being said, I kinda like these things.
I'm excited! I really liked doing those puzzles from previous expansions.
Fugueal Protolock1. Each group needs to have at least a single characteristic that matches between all 3 of them2. or have no matches at all between their four characteristics.If this is in fact the rule, How do you solve the following?2C2T 1H3C 2S1S3C1T 2S3T 1S3S1H2T 1C3T 2H3CIf the rule 1 is in fact the rule, any combination in grp 1xxx and 2xxx should be eliminated. 1xxx: 1H3C 1S3S 1H2T 1C3T 2xxx: 2C2T 2S1S 2S3T 2H3C3xxx: 3C1T But I have just confirmed that the grp 1S3S 1H2T 1C3T cannot be eliminated.From the above attempt, I can conclude that either there is at least one additional rule or the stated rules are not in fact the actual rule. The following is a possible 3rd rule:3. A grp can be eliminated only if the remaining runes can form 2nd or 3rd grp that satisfy the first 2 rules. If either of the first 2 rules is wrong, there is not much to be known at this point.
Firim, the quest npc, says "each rune must be either all identical or all different for each property"If two runes are all identical for each property, aren't they supposed to be exactly the same? What is this supposed to mean?
I found this addon on Curse, Zereth Mortis Puzzle Helper before even reading about this (wowhead and their clickbait posts tend to hide these ones, no offense), when I knew about the 3 first ones. Then, on my main I noticed the Untangle one while doing my stuff around (haven't noticed the Bejewelled one yet). The first 3 ones are covered by the addon, at least the Fugueal one might need some help with it (the first part is easy to see (while you check the 4 rules), but the last part... The addon makes it faster.
