Went to do quest worked fine until I got to the big gathering of bandits, then it said disconnect. I refreshed- went back, there were no bandits there, but it kept saying i had to fight them. I refreshed again-same thing- I had to go back to town. I also had some problems logging in here to report this.

This quest automatically takes you to the River Crossing between the Burning Farmhouse and the Bandit Camp. There are several things that need addressing while doing this quest.

1) Although the by the time this quest appears, the mission to put out the fires should have already been completed, the farmer NPC is still located at the bridge, ready to prompt you to take on that mission again. You have to tell her no in order to move on, otherwise you are putting out fires and the quest ends and you have to head back to town.

2) When you decline the farmer's mission and cross the bridge, there are only 2 sets of bandits that appear before the bandit camp that actually drop masks. You must either head back to town and repeat mission two more times @20 stam each. The only other option is to head into the Bandit Camp AGAIN-which drops NO bandit masks.

3) In order to finish this mission, 60 stamina must be spent to acquire 5 masks..unless there is a way to go up to the farm and fight bandits without the Farmer NPC triggering the other mission.

Okay, thanks. I passed up the farmer's quest because I had already finished it.
