*weep* I just checked. I'm not "elite"! :'(
Is there any hope for me, Dragon Sakai?

I am disappoint.

sakai has (not) forsaken you.

Oh... Btw should it matter?
I think there was a guy who got abducted despite not being lvl 50.

checked this thread, and the guy doesn't say if he's talking about Koffie message (what most of the others guys posted is about), or about doing the quest itself.

Consider: I fought Fang Banshee and Banther in Forest in a locked MPA (so I was on my own) in Free Forest without completing the quest on my Hunter. At all.

My friend also ran into Hunar without clearing the quest.

Hmm, I guess they either changed it, or that piece of info was wrong. :\

配信時は緊急クエストでしか登場しないボスなので、戦えるチャンスはあまり多くありません。勝利することで 、通常クエストのインタラプトイベントなどでも登場します

From Sakai, which I read as, "When it's released, since [fang banther] will only appear in the emergency quest, there won't be many chances to fight him. By winning, it will also appear in interrupt events of normal quests and such. "

Now for this part しか登場しない from my understanding, SHIKA (which turns out to mean "only") is always followed by a negative verb. "Fang Banther won't show up in anything but the Emergency quest."

Seeing Fang Banther isn't really in question anymore. It was a question of whether it was limited to the EQ when it was -first- introduced.

just to update you guys from some info from bumped:
-http://bumped.org/psublog/

apparently sakai implies that you must do quests that require 'certain skill', to risk a chance of getting kidnapped.

seems like Time Attack Quests are being implied, though there could be other quests in the mix.

I had a dream where I picked dagan extermination, the gate was still closed and i got kidnapped.

I have no idea why.
