A lawless cadre of goblins has seized the Matron's Lethe, preventing passage to and from the upper reaches of the Twelveswood. Now, all those who approach are greeted with a shower of time-activated bombs tossed from behind makeshift barricades.

Slay the goblins, defeat their leader, and reclaim the area, so that travel through the forest will be safe once again.

— In-game description

Flicking Sticks and Taking Names is a level 25 guildhest introduced in patch 2.0. It intends to teach bomb or area of effect (aoe) marker dodging mechanics.

Guide

This guildhest features a mini-dungeon filled with goblins.

When fighting goblins, they will periodically drop bombs on the ground. Be sure to get out of the bomb's red circle before it explodes.

As you progress through the dungeon, you will encounter barricades of boxes that need to be destroyed. While you're damaging the barricades, the goblins behind them will throw bombs at you. Avoid the bombs when possible.

In many cases, once a barricade is destroyed, the goblins will automatically aggro the player at the front of the group. If a dps or healer is ahead, they will automatically pick up aggro. Due to this, try to stay behind the tank, so they take the aggro instead. This is a similar mechanic to The Vault dungeon in Heavensward.

Tanks should generally pull all adds into the barricades, so they can all be defeated together. DPS should make sure to kill all enemies, not just the barricades, as the guildhest will not complete unless all enemies are defeated.

Stikflix Grumblytoss is the boss of this guildhest.

He is able to throw multiple bombs at a time. At the start of the fight, he will throw 3 to 4 bombs at once, with each wave steadily increasing, until he throws 12 bombs near the end. At the very end of the fight, he throws a large bomb with very large radius.
