Taking the suggestion from Amon in General, I started to do the other schools' quests in NT.
The first up was Scout.
I don't know if any of these are working as intended, but they seem... odd.
1). When you start out as a Scout, you get a letter of credit. Seems okay, said letter of credit gives you a Refurbished Cedar Shortbow and a Refurbished Bronze Shortsword, along with a Refurbished Bronze Ringmail Chestguard. However, when you get to the quest where you deliver the crate to the Druid near the Ruined Homestead, both Sadie and Frelic talk about giving you a "New" weapon. The weapon the quest rewards? A Refurbished Cedar Shortbow. The very same Refurbished Cedar Shortbow you were given at Level 1. Shouldn't that have been a Lv5 weapon instead of the Lv1 one you already had?
2). The first several Scout quests award no money whatsoever (kill 3 grouks, kill 4 beetles, kill 5 spiders).
3). The Beetles are stronger than the Spiders and are higher level, but yet they ask you to kill the beetles before they ask you to kill the spiders. Thankfully I had my Cleric on Level 10 before attempting this; I'm not sure I could have killed the beetles otherwise.
