How the black Sacraments works?

ClockworkCityBugs · January 2018

hey guys i have a question

for example i need to kill two targets with woe and also leave before overseers arrive
first attempt i see im running out of time and i abandoned the quest

at second attempt 2nd optional objective was already failed i see? because i killed targets just fine but timer about overseers arrived didnt appear
and i failed this optional quest? because if you abandoned it, timer didnt reset?
smthing like that?

I, dont know. Since its a daily quest maybe it doesnt allow you to keep abandoning until you get it perfect for the best reward.

Thing about sacraments, the timer doesnt start until after the primary is done. So always do the secondary first so you have more time at the end to leave.

Do secondary, then primary and finally escape before time elapses.
Instance resets after 15 minutes. Abandon and go in after it resets.

PE_Bagatur is right. The instance does reset but you have to wait a little while rather than jumping right back in. The timer doesn't start until the primary objective is killed so start with the optional one (and murder any and everyone in between if you'd like) and save the primary target for last and then haul butt to the door.

It may help to get some optional gear for these. I use 5 piece Night's Silence (craftable, 2 traits) and 3 piece Night Terror (found in Stormhaven). They will lower your detection radius and negate the sneak speed penalty so you can still move quickly when crouched. Just gotta be careful not to run too fast right into the blue lantern circle. And since you'll only be using it for these (and maybe heists if you have Thieves Guild) it doesn't matter if it's below your level so you can craft first level gear rather than using your good mats.

Now if only the DB motif drop was better for perfect sacraments, but that's a discussion for a different topic.
