have been looking for "Face the Evil" for a while but no success and wondering if community can help me with more info to increase my chances to encounter it....

i know i need 4players minimum to encounter Face the Evil, so been making afk games and getting people afk/skilling in town to help fill. do all players need to meet minimum lvl req for desired objective to be enabled when use map/enter cata? Do they all need to have the prereq objectives done or just myself have them done enough? If they have the req lvl and prereq objectives done will enabled objectives always be the lowest 3, or random selection from what's possible?


objectives already completed on lvl 55 char...
Explore the Maze
A Pinch of Evil
Bits and Pieces
Hack the Horde
Stop the Seven Shamans
Treasure Pest
Soften the Sneaky Shell
Ambush!
Four Corners

objectives enabled when i make solo game...
Face the Evil
Slash the Swarm
Elemental Education


My current chart with my info on objectives atm... any details/hints you can add would be appreciated

Face the Evil is just an uncommon objective.

When doing mirror mazes which will pretty much always have a chance to spawn face, i would say the actual chance of finding it is about 1 in 5, possibly lower. Been a while since i've done MM's so not the best person to ask.
This is from exploring an entire level 70 maze.

Should not need all characters to be of the required level, having the ability to fight 9 mobs is all that's needed i think. Don't need the others in the game to have the quest available.


To clarify the task for NMNM, you will fight a random number of EP waves, where each wave will have 1 more EP than the wave before. So for example you may get it to spawn with just 2 EP's, you kill those 2 and 3 more immediately appear, kill those 3 and then 4 appear. Until at any point the chain stops and the quest completes. So you may just get 1 single EP and kill it and be done also.
Basically its done this way as people were farming the objective.
