yeah ambush is crap specially in groups. Its way easier to spawn it solo, for unknown reasons (cut farming in groups?) ..
From what i experienced for now the map type has no effect on quests. It only tells you what mobs you are going to encounter. paul calls them Ecosystem if im not mystaken, those groups of mobs ,separated in maps
I was able to do any quest*** on any maptype. its just smart to know what mobs spawn where, some mobs can be quite annoying.You dont want to fight 60+shamans with 2 foglimes (without casters on X map ) for example.
*** exept elemntal education and nom nom. But im working on that
