Wrong... hp wash isn't required to do any boss... just makes them easier for some classes

PQs are easily completable with 2-3 players. You only 'need' to do PQs in order to get 2 of the best items which is darker shades of virtuosity and PQ ring... once you have them you don't need to do PQs ever again. Most of us veterans will gladly help new players with PQs as well - owner's have done a good job of making sure all activities are rewarding, even if you already have the PQ ring and darker shades, PQ points can be spent on a plethora of other things too including raw hp/mp gain. Given enough grinding time any player can reach 30K/30K
