Same. I've done the quest repeated times, with the same faction party, that I can trust, and we've only ever seen a Duergar Heaing Rune, which is Cure *Serious*, once. If there is a Cure crit, it's rare.

Did this quest myself about 10 times.

Only seen this Rune drop once.

Instead of straying off to Cruzel's superior looting techniques, I will stick with the OP.

It could use a second part, which could be insanely awesome and fun [Not that it NEEDS it, just, the more the better!].

Instead of lowering level range, I think it should stay the same [Depending on the level range! Personally, I've never done it, I'm just trying to appeal to the majority, for you all say it's awesome. Is it a level 3-9 quest? If not, I think it should be.], though for the second part, I could see it being a 4-10 quest [Just in anticipation, you know?].

If a second part was added to the quest, the only reason for raising the max level would be to cover for anyone on the original quest who leveled.  Raising the minimum level would exclude some who did the first part and wouldn't really make much sense.

This quest has a good level range already, I think. I would love to see it expanded, though!

This quest is perfectly done, TBH. Though I would not mind a second part to it, but then again that part could just be another new quest instead.

It's good to see quests for a high level range that does not take hours to do.

*chuckles* Ummm...

Has this just turned into a competition about how many times everyone has spammed this quest?

And I did it. It was shockingly easy, but largely due to the people I was with... *cough* crazy Stygians *cough*

But yes, a second part would be interesting.

OK how about this. Leave the quest as completable in its present form for the reasons Mort outlined as a quick, fun quest to replenish supplies for tougher quests that higher level people want to do...

But add an optional extra bit which is hard, in line with other Level 5-9 quests. That way we get an extra quest, but still the first bit. Have Drow, more Duergar, whatever. Best of both worlds that way.

I recently did this quest with a party of level 9s and 8s mostly and the spawns were a lot more numerous. There was a definite challenge feel there, much like for when I've been in larger groups. I do like how this can scale as a simple run or something more difficult depending on the group. I'm tempted to say "Make the drops on the enemies slightly better" to reward players running larger groups.
