Horrible. Unrealistic. Impossible.
1st task: Moving crates
Speed while moving crates cannot be increased any how, so without a "hack" it's not possible to do. I needed like 4 attempts until I was told there is a hack how to do it.
Hack: Move the first crate on the bridge, run back to Rubin, start timer, run to bridge, pick up crate and go to first NPC. This will save you maybe around 1 minute of time.
2nd task: Scarecrows
It was not that bad. I needed like 3 attempts to figure out you don't have to run around, just stand in the middle and look around. I used Artisan Matchlock, so no idea if Beginner level players are able to one-shot it with lower matchlocks. Probably not.
3rd task: Taming a horse
Very bad joke. The mini-game for horse taming has been broken for years and no one did anything about it. Whenever you need to press space, you either break your keyboard or just give up. Why is no one doing anything about this? No wonder people don't tame horses.
4th task: Riddles
9 minutes to run from Rubin to Contaminated Farm, Glish, Velia and back to Rubin.
PA clearly wants players with worse PCs to suffer and not enjoy things. You shouldn't expect that everyone has uber powerful PC. Some people have potato PCs just like me. It's not very pleasant when you go too fast that textures around aren't loading fast enough and you are stuck at invisible wall. If your PC is a worse one, horse Tier and speed doesn't matter. I used t8 courser with 154% speed and got stuck at invisible walls. If I used t8 with 168% speed, the loading would be even worse.
So due to worse PC I am not able to finish this. I played literally on the lowest graphic settings for this task and did not help.
Argument "Buy a better PC" should not even be valid here. Why do I have to buy better PC just because you expect all players to have decent PC to play your game?
5th task: ???
I can't comment on this since I will never be able to pass through 4th task.
Suggestion: Increase the time limit on all tasks with 1 more minute , so that it's fair for every player. And fix the damn horse taming mini game after years.
Don't use words, that you don't even know what they mean...
part 1-4 is very simple, part 5 - well, high ground i guess.

I did it yesterday.
1st, as you said, move the crate to the bridge before you launch the timer.
2nd, scarecrows, 4 positions for the scarecrow around you, easy.
3rd, taming mini games works, and you don't have to slaughter your keyboard.
4th, traveler's map to reduce the time needed to go to Velia, Glish, or Calpheon, your choice.
5th, open your mind, don't follow the path one has created for you XD. That is, if you really can't remember the obstacles...
... Seriously, can't players complain about real problems, at least ?
Putting AIDS minigames inside a timed quest for log is pretty bad game design that's true, but they are doable.
It would be better if PA would not waste their time on stuff like this tho. It's not fun, and ain't add anything to the game really, just more annoyance.
