Description

The combat power requirements for Shadow Marshes quests appear to be using K (thousands) values where they should be using M (millions), making them roughly 1000x too low compared to the scaling of surrounding zones.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Progress through Frozen Peaks (requirements: ~100K, 400K, 1.50M)
  2. Unlock Shadow Marshes
  3. Observe the first Shadow Marshes quest requirement is only ~5K

Expected Behaviour

Requirements should scale upward from Frozen Peaks. Based on the pattern, the values should likely be in the millions (e.g. 5M, 20M, 80M+) rather than thousands (5K, 20K, 80K).

Actual Behaviour

Requirements drop dramatically from ~1.50M in Frozen Peaks to ~5K in Shadow Marshes, making the zone trivially easy and breaking the progression curve.

Notes

  • Volcanic Depths first quest starts at 2M, so Shadow Marshes needs to bridge ~1.5M → ~2M range
  • Each requirement appears to be off by a factor of ~1000 (M suffix instead of K)
