Harpies

Post by Twirlip »

Something feels wrong with the difficulty level of the Waste harpies. I've tested with a couple of build types and in both cases they seem much harder than the formians a couple of areas away which were rewarding 4 times as much experience. As another measure, there is a quest in that area. I was able to relatively easily complete the objectives of the following two quests in that chain without problems, but couldn't actually progress to obtaining them because I was having so much trouble completing the quest in the harpies area. Maybe take a look at the challenge rating?

They have been adjusted, they had the wrong hide on them. Please let me know.

Hard to tell now because I've out levelled that zone. Just testing now however, I did notice that whilst they were giving just 4 xp, the Azur next door are still giving 100+ and are much, much easier.

The experience reward for those Harpies has gone down. They were better than the Azul now they are less, 300 vs 450+! FYI

Well, easy to kill = less xp/harder to kill = more xp. Of the two, which one do you want?

Works for me ... more an FYI than a complaint! A Dungeon Masters work is never done!
