Lv50 creature in lower level area?

Heh. This reminds me a story I had a week or two ago.

Was playing FFXI and had to complete a mission for my lvl 50 BLM. I had to go through Ranguemont Pass which had a bunch of lvl 90's dumped in it according to my friend since Abyssea dropped (for leveling)... great, well sneak + prism powder did well for that. Finally get to Fei'yin and slowly battle my way to the location I need to be. One room before I can get to the thing I had to activate, I find a NM. I ask my FC mate on mumble if he heard of it... nope. I look online, lvl 80 NM... ooooooh no. It then moves up to me, aggros, and one shots me as I run for dear life. Had a laugh and tried an alternate route after getting back.

This is a fairly common story from FFXI. Most people I've met have a similar tale. lol

They loved putting quests in zones that were WAY higher level than you were when you got the quests...
