Elemental Exercise Gives Wrong Information?

Simply put, in the quest the player is told that Earth is weak to Fire. But this is wrong. The Great Wheel of Elements is:
Fire > Air > Earth > Thunder > Water > Fire.
With Weakness being the other direction.

Now Plant based mobs are often categorized as Earth, and are often weak to Fire, as an (common) exception. But the mobs in the quest look like zombies to me.
And if you say they are Plant based mobs, I repeat, They Look Like Zombies.

If the point of the quest is to introduce and explain elements to new players, why on earth give confusing and misleading information to them?

Also, the relationship of the elements is ordered correctly in the "Defense Info" in the player's compass. It is not ordered correctly on armor or anywhere else I can think of. The game has enough moving parts already, why not make it easier on new players by making the correct order part of what they see every time they look at their armor? Wynncraft needs new players all the time, it is the nature of the business model. Make basic information clearer and easier to access.

 

I really have no answer to this, but fire is normally offence and earth defence sooooooo....

 

uhh.. I thought Fire was defence and Earth offence?

 

This.

Exactly. It's usually not that way, but Wynn just had to be special
