The current quest difficulty rankings do not seem to match up at all with my
experiences. I'm going to keep this post spoiler free but I can give specific
examples/reasons if you message me. At a high level though, LQ37 "Save
Princess Daisy" is rated as "Not very hard", but from my
experience it was one of the hardest quests I've done requiring help from
multiple highbies. On the other hand, LQ46: "Victi Vicimus" is rated
as "Challenging" but I was able to solo it without any problems. Long
story short, it would be nice to update the quest rankings so new players can
have an idea about what they might be able to solo and what quests they will
probably require a party.

While I agree that the difficulty ratings are misleading, I think it is not as
simple to update. I did a page for AQs in the batwiki where I added
spoiler-free
re-categorisation to add details such as "easy for a midbie-party" etc.

https://taikajuoma.ovh/wiki/Area_Quests_by_difficulty

Could do the same for LQs.
But as I put in that page.. if the quest creator marked it as a particular
difficulty and we disagree, it might be that they intended the quest to be
done
in a party or soloed or it is easy for certain builds and harder for others..

Not so simple.. but mitigated by sharing info in the community via batwiki
edits.
