Not to mention once *Surprise* starts it will be over within 30 seconds if someone isn't there already handling the issue. Sure, you could camp looking for the caravan to be making its way but if your mining for electrum on the other side of the map there is no way to see the fate is about to pop.

But add in some of these fates take 2-3 hours to spawn along with some very hard to solo for many class's along with being one needs to be done very quick or failure results. Really poor design especially given that the atma books only give a few more stats and no ilvl raise. That entire step could/should be eliminated completely given the easy it is to get an ilvl 100 and ilvl 110 weapon now even for new 50's on first toon.
