Just spent the past two and a half hours trying to get one of my final pieces of newbie armor. Unfortunately, it is considered a 'group' task - and since most people are uber high level, there was no one to group with.

I gave it a shot anyway and went into Kurn's tower instance. I was doing ok most of the time, but every once in a while I'd encounter a healer mob who would just never die, and occasional I'd die, losing tons of experience.

In the end, I lost my corpse deep in the mines at the bottom of Kurns tower and if it hadn't been for a kind soul who gave me 90 plat to go summon my corpse in the guild hall, I would never have seen that corpse again.

Newbie armor! What the hell are you thinking Sony! Shiva H. Vishu! You need to fire whoever thought of that one.

Needless to say, I spent 2 and a half hours of my life and in the end didn't finish the quest and even ended up with less experience than I started with!

-sometimes I wonder why I play this game.
