It took me 4 and a half hours to get a carapace =\
Everything else was not much of a problem (still have yet to loot my own
lambent stone ).

As far as Genni, she is also broken on Veeshan. Someone trained her to zone
or something and she got stuck and poofed or something. She is supposedly
going to be restored on Tuesday (hopefully).

Good luck getting the rest of the armor =)

On a side note, my friend says there seem to be slightly less wandering mobs
in PoF, but since they are still new at hunting their they get their butts
kicked regularly. He's to perseverance!
