The Reaper of Mortality (South Karana) now fails the event if the character who spawned the Reaper is not alive just at the time of Reaper's death so that the quest starter does not lose a shard and get locked out of the quest. The respawn timer upon failure has been reduced from 20 minutes to 5 minutes.
Exactly how are rangers supposed to complete this quest if they need to be alive to complete it?
