Couldn't really be bothered to search for the other one, but this remains a big issue. The supplies given would hardly refill a single character on this quest, let alone a group of people. The XP is fairly decent, but the supplies are absolutely off balance!
Any means of fixing it would be great!
Edit: Refill is probably a bad term to use, but it remains very unrewarding overall!
Last time I did this quest it seemed to be fairly rewarding- though its quite difficult compared to the reward but you can't always have your cakewalk and awesome loot combined.
Didn't you do it to help the stargazers?
Not every quest needs to be most rewarding. There can be potentially good rewards that can be well worth it. Just my personal opinion.
I did this quest for the first time earlier this week, and it was a blast. A lot more intense than what it used to be, very atmospheric. I think the OP already listed the trade-off: high XP reward for a dangerous quest in dangerous lands. And the loot I did saw coming from this seemed tied to this quest, though I could be wrong.
All I saw drop for this quest was first circle potions and several cure serious. It's one of those quests where you need to take a wizard if you want to break to perhaps break even.
Concur. I thought the loot drop was a little weak, especially given the large number of dead bodies to be looted. In fact, as I recall it from previous runs, there should have been some more flavored items in there; I surmised someone skimmed the loot when I saw how little was laid out.
The XP was decent but not what I would call spectacular. Bringing in bounties pays way more dividend than we got there. But, ultimately it's about fun and it is a fun quest.
I suspect that some of the OP's complaining about the reward on this may have suffered some ooc loot holdback, because I've done this quest multiple times in the past few weeks, and the loot is always great.
Maybe it could still be tweaked, but what you guys don't seem to understand about EFU is just how RANDOM things are. Sometimes you get a good drop, sometimes you don't.
