Okay so, basically i'm a LVL40 BLM who has to do this quest for the storyline. Unlike a few difficult storyline quests, however ( looking at you Oh Captain, My Captain !!! ), my gear was up to date and I had the most powerful wand I could have for a level 40. The problem was the NPCs. I genuinely find it kinda silly for the fact that some of these instances have the goal of protecting a NPC, although they remain EXTREMELY incompetent.

I'm not very sure what to do beyond gaining a couple of levels and hoping that it'll be enough to overpower the inquisitor and the damned wyvern, but I feel like if the NPCs weren't so mindboggingly reckless / stupid ( the healer healed me JUST as I died, and the npcs constantly attacked even when they were about to get hit w/ an AoE attack ), it would've been way more easier. Any tips to make things more manageable?
