- "Now I'm left with a mob that they have tagged, but with enough DoTs on it that I've got aggro. They usually want ME to have to kill the thing so that they can come back and loot it. I don't care how much extra time it takes me; in this scenario I ALWAYS run until I deaggro the the^([sic]) thing."
- "It's probably best to hide a bit and de-aggro him unless you can shoot him through the bars. The gate here can be unlocked if you've invested into lockpicking as it is an [ Advanced ] lock. There are also some Bobby Pins near the gate you should pick up regardless."
