It was a bit challenging to get the hq. I struggled for a while since so few people were doing it and almost all of them were mithras or girls, but then I discovered that I could do the event on my mule (only guy character) and then get the other parts on my other mules and main to send to him. I think it took me about 22 hours total to get the apron +1 but I only thought to use all my mules for the last 5 hours of that. It would be nice if they got rid of the gender requirement imo.
