However, if you are forced to play off-hours, there are times where the Sylphlands are completely deserted, and you have 400 mobs between you and your destination that all used ranged attacks. To make matters worse, the drop point in the Goldleaf Dais has 3-4 sylphs sitting RIGHT on top of it. They aggro you almost instantly as you get close and you get nailed by 4+ thunders in under a second (thus dropping your package and having to start over). If there isn't anyone around to kill the mobs for you, it turns an otherwise straightforward, easy quest into a huge pain in the ass.
