A very fun new area. Heard nothing but good things from it so far. Thank you, Gorboth. A great idea.

Based on observation, I've altered the quest requirements for arm-wrestling slightly:

Quest #3 - now requires 15 wins rather than 10.

Quest #4 - now requires 5 underdog wins rather than 10.

I believe this will fit better with the way people have been competing. Too many people would complete all 10 wins just trying to get a single underdog win. And, getting 10 underdog wins was taking some people 4+ hours - which is too hard.

I suspect this will work better now.

It took Macabresque and Tulasi a LOT more than 4 hours.
But they were two trying to get it at the same time.
But yes, very limited amount of people can do the underdog victories per day.
It is doable though if people co-operate.
