The Leveling Compendium

If you have to do the quest, do it before lv 70 so the game will not spawn merman and kapha against you. At around lv 50, the game will only use raggler and obeaune against you, which with some item spamming it's not hard to bash/mammonite your way through.

Regarding this from the merch/swordie/thief/TK part of the guide, when I was lev. 41 when I did the quest, it spawned Mermen and Kapha on me. Twice.
