But you need to look at the hp on it. I can't think of many neck items with 75 hp on them. At this point a character would probably have max wis or close to it. So its not a question of the amount of wis on it but the hp. Atleast thats the way I look at it as a 64 shaman. I would rather have more hp in the end anyways.
Prolly RL hours. 1 game hour is 3 RL minutes. So that'd be 9 min total if you were counter them as game hours. Not a realistic ammount of time for this quest.
