I really hope that the echo buff is left off by default, and only appears once you respawn at the entrance (Meaning you at least try to do it without once.). It's been a long time, but when I used the buff (instead of dispelling it) I was doing one of the scholar job quests (I was tired and couldn't be arsed lol) it made a rediculous difference. As in, instead of the NPCs dying and failing, I was destroying everything.

I can guarantee insta-kicks for anyone removing it, easy way or no way is what this place is all about.
