I decided to try the task system... finally find a task master for a lvl 65 (cleric) ... discovered i needed the key to howling stones, did the quest right then for key -- once i got in tho i fell into the pit and had 4 or 5 mobs on me, ended up casting divine barrier and gating out..
Was several months before i finally got around to doing the task, but i didn't have a problem soloing through it - worse thing was when i fell through another floor and ended up fighting a guy that had to have about 20k hp... long fight but i killed him, he didn't hit hard.
When I finished I received 13% aa xp - nice, and 73 pp ...
what was strange was that when i tried to get another task, had to go to a different task master in dreadlands, i was told that i couldn't get another task for 12200 minutes... ???? what is up with that ?
