Outlands - Avoid Planar Effects And The Chest!; Possible Bugs

(Q#1) I was exploring the Outlands when I came across the ritual chamber. At first I wasn't sure what the force field was for, but I noticed that the Khaasta could pass through it unscathed. Just to be safe I memorized the Ranger Spell "Avoid Planar Effects" which is one of their level 2 spells. I walked through the force field into which is apparently a superheated room and started taking fire damage.

Is Avoid Planar Effects supposed to work in this room? I guess it's not technically an overall planar effect, but a superheated room seems well-aligned with the intended use of the spell.

(Q#2) Also, I've visited the Outlands probably about three times trying to do the quest from the librarian. I've been under the assumption that the quest item should spawn in the Smoldering Chest, but the chest has never contained anything at all. Maybe the loot respawn timer on it is broken.

That's all for now.

Thanks

Regarding question number two: The quest item is in that area, but you're looking at the wrong chest. That chest actually shouldn't be selectable at all, but there is another chest in the area that has the said quest item. You don't need to pass the forcefield at all.

And the force field is not a planar effect, its just magic. Resist Planar Effect is mainly for stopping the native effects of planes.

This is for areas like Elemental Fire and Salt so far, although we still need to do Ice plane, and maybe others.

And as i recall, we have a current issue open at the moment because its not working properly yet either.

I believe that I know the chest you're talking about. I only checked it out once and it was empty, I guess another party found it before me. I guess the Smoldering Chest needs to be fixed then, so that it's not selectable.

That's how I figured it was supposed to be, but I thought it would still be useful to bring to your attention just in case.

Thanks guys!
