Due to the collection mechanic in this quest (each person needs to collect 15 [[Delicate Desert Flower]]s), this quest is not recommended for large groups. An ideal group is probably 3-5 people. When doing this quest with more than a single fellow, you can easily spend 45 minutes or more in the flower collection portion alone. All the bulb quests share this type of mechanic.

This quest can be done solo, with an increasing amount of difficulty based on if you are a mage, missile, or melee character. Very high melee defense is recommended.

			This quest can be done solo, most easily by a mage. Missile toons can also solo, but with slightly higher difficulty. For a melee character, doing this quest solo is very difficult.

			Due to the collection mechanic in this quest (each person needs to collect 15 [[Delicate Desert Flower]]s), this quest is not recommended for large groups. An ideal group is probably 3-5 people. When doing this quest with more than a single fellow, you can easily spend 45 minutes or more in the flower collection portion alone. All the bulb quests share this type of mechanic.
