for me the problem isn't necessarily how hard they are to find or the level req, it's that face the evil and shamans and the rest take up slots even though they can't spawn solo. I understand the game was designed for group play, but then groups aren't doing objectives either nowadays.
I know where you are coming from, and I relate. Now, during my time playing LS, the objective "Face the Evil" was and still is a FUCKING BITCH to spawn, even after all the updates from 2010 (12 fucking years later it is still a fucking Bitch Objective!) Note: don't get me wrong, I used to play SC in the day, and I have only seen it appear like 3-5 times... don't know how fast it spawns with all the groups that "Whistle" dixie all day long and their encounters for this objective (FtE), but I doubt they complete this one faster then completing Sneaky or Shamans or Swarm etc.
Anyway, I did a suggestion a YEAR or (s) ago that the OBJECTIVE list should be increased from the maximum of three(3) to five(5) [as long as they have met the prerequisite(s)] and of course, the community thought my suggestion was a pile of Dung and did not realise the implications or impact it makes to this game, and with the updates, it is more prominent that it SHOULD be adjusted.

yeah I meant if you're non-dc in town, thanks.
I might try this map tactic with pest and sneaky though, finally I understand why level cap is useful on maps
I like this idea, but for me personally, I don't want Treasure Pest objective to appear unless my character level is 30+, this way, if by a miracle chance it drops a great item, at least the tier level is not going to be Tier V, and hopefully it will be a Tier VIII+.

the maze ONLY increases if you REMAKE the game. and remake the MAZE.
and if you do that. you now have to RE STEP.
Again, 100% correct, as a solo'er or BUFCORE character, you MAY encounter certain monsters like Slugslider / Gigabee that fill up 9 squares fast and your killing speed can NOT clear them fast enough, or getting that TYPE of monster when you drop a White item into a Well that is 5 levels below your character level and you have to work crazy hard to clear all monsters that were "call for help" ability of Slug / Giga.
So, if it is too tough because of crap / mediocre gear or a welling monster (Slug/Giga) filling up 9 monster squares... you either stick around and spend an hour or more trying to kill them, or you REMAKE (create a new game) and subjected to the X# of steps you take &/or encounters being set back to a zero(0) count... start again from scratch to spawn the objective previously.
