I was stuck on using Wrath of Qarn in all my searching, after correcting that I see that yes it does mean the Normal mode. The confusion was that I had another person who had just run this quest who had Hardmode unlocked. Add to the fact that having a Level 50 quest for a Level 30something dungeon makes ZERO SENSE and yeah-
I would like to take this opportunity to underscore how ridiculously confusing this is since you pick it up in a room full of quests to unlock Hard modes.
Clarification for the easily confused would be appreciated here S.E.
