Could this be given a quest NPC, or some other hint like a dropped journal by the quest placeable about what lies in there? It's a cool quest but it will steamroll a party who aren't aware that they need specific buffs to defeat the things in there. Also the environmental effect will absolutely murder someone who is lagging out, as there is no way to deactivate it.

For a 2-6, the monsters in there are surprisingly tough and dangerous, and I feel it could do with being telegraphed a bit more than "well, it's misty and mysterious, there is Stuff"
This is Egon.  He's been away so long he forgot both his normal account name AND the email account he used to register it. So now he's on an alt account until he fixes this :P

You could always run when you are faced with something dangerous. Chug that invisibility and flee?

Or you could ask fellow adventurers, who have risked these farms what to expect. Because the mist in general like most great foes, has a skill set it utilizes often, which includes A, B, and, C. And thus you can easily work out that if its in the path of Rabanatha it may well be in this mist covered farm as well.

I actually like the challenge.

Few quests give PCs so many opportunities to stop and think about what they've faced so far and whether they're sufficiently equipped to press on. It's like climbing Everest. It's also very different from the other 2-6 kill everything red quests.

This quest is nice, i dont think so, would be remake.

I have never had any problems with this. And I never knew there was a buff that would help you. Sorry for being a noob :)

I like the challenge level presented by this quest. Its a great quest overall, however unless I've just been lucky while doing it I would buff the end boss some as I've never thought the end of the quest was sufficiently difficult compared to the quest itself.

When the quest was originally implemented, the final boss was incredibly difficult to beat. I admittedly haven't had a chance to do the quest for a long time, but any lack of difficulty at the end is probably from a nerf the quest received prior.

Remember that the original suggestion revolved around giving some sort of IC warning about the difficulty of the quest, though, not changing the quest itself.
