Quest for Remedy

[prestonhunt]

The quest given by Physician Isaac Solomon. (lvl 2-5, party size 1)

This quest needs to be looked at.  Back in EFUA, it was doable with only a very small amount of risk.

Now though, it's ridiculously hard, and broken to boot.

The three ingredients you need to collect.  One is underwater with Shark / Larval spawns near it.  The next is In Withered Lands, with H'balan Undead spawns nearby.  The last is unbelievably waaaaaaaaaay out in the unreachable (for a lvl 5) reaches of the island.  This last ingredient used to be in the area immediately outside of the ruins, the road to the Cliffside Waterfalls, which is no longer there.  It was moved to the aforementioned far reaches for some unfathomable reason.

So, I did the quest.  It took me near to half an hour to do.  Netted me 131 XP at lvl 4.  Cost me 5 invis potions and a death, and the reward was broken.  Isaac looks into his bag, and gives you nothing but 25 gold.  He used to also give you some medical related item.

My Suggestion is this:

Move the Vidician Alge to the Waters of the River Tear area.  Still accessible to nubs, but with a hint of danger from the spawns down there.

Move the Grazen Herb Flower to the "Along the River Tear" area.

Move the Silurian Lycopoda to the Crossroads.

By making these changes, the quest once more becomes doable, and you dont need to change the dialogue on Solomon overly much when he speaks to you of where to find each of these.

As an aside, and on that note, his thoughts on the Lycopoda right now are -waaaaaay- off.

Finally, hook him back up to his loot table.

I've stopped doing this quest for the exact same reason.

This sounds like a hilarious exercise in masochism.  Keep it as is for bragging rights I say.
