I didn't beat any record on Orna but since I was a little careful and expecting it to be much harder I poped my NPC and I was 55 BLU/RDM. We had just finished G2 for my NPC and since I was closeby I decided to give this a try. Ended up chasing NMs for an hour in the tower so I wouldn't waste my NPC-call totally. Could have done it much earlier and without NPC since the "Spears" didn't hit me at all.
And soon I am off for Tonberry-fishing to finish next quest in this serie of quests. :)
