I agree wholeheartedly that something should be done to a few of the quests.

- Machine needs more checkpoints.

- Robes of time should either have the monsters with robes repop or the robes
should be worthless. At least, change the quest so that you can not buy the
robes from shops. Currently the quest is a PITA to do, you have to come in
right after boot to get the 2 easy robes, much easier to cheat and buy them
from shop.

- Holy Grail: can it still be done just by buying the Grail off sales and
handing it to Arthur? I'm not there yet, but if so, this quest would need a
few more checkpoints.

- Statue, lq 8: nothing wrong with the quest per se, but could someone add a
mention about the need to kill all the ochimos in the quest description? Seems
like that is a major showstopper with newbies attempting the quest.

Also, I think the quest difficulty ratings are a bit screwed, but that is not
an serious issue. My pet peeve is of course the lq30, Rescue Dorian, being
rated as "not very hard". One player solves it in 5 years, not very hard my
ass.
