This is insulting to DoL.

Checked with the devs about there being NMs and other high-level enemies near gathering points for certain levequests such as those found in "Mining Treespeak." Gathering point, and monster placement adjustments will both take place soon. We will also be making adjustments to some of the Halatali and Camp Iron Lake levequests where there exist similar problems.

Nanawa Mines DOW/DOM leves are troublesome too, similar scenario.

Nophica's Wells - Daddy Longlegs spawns right next to a mining leve point. Not done mining leves there since I found that out.

maybe they though DoLs should have a challenge than just travel the map, hit, and click >.>?

they wanted DoL to throw rocks at the active mobs then run like hell and get back to gathering spots while the mob is away.

Bayohne! And I thought this thread had died. Thank you for the information.

I'm still curious as to the status of the stealth skills that were alluded to though. Some challenge is always nice of course.

while that seems ridiculous, it IS a tactic and a very old one at that, that many instances and parties use =O
i wouldnt be surprised if thats really the case. Or else DoL would be too easy. Just travel and click.

Does 'soon' mean 1.18a? I know some high-rank Disciples of the Land will be happier when this is fixed.

I wish they would but pretty sure they said they won't be adding it.
