    This one is simple...
    In the Auburn Forest, there is a "cave" called the Auburn Lumbermill. The premise is simple: there are three mill wardens that always spawn in the same location. Killing one unlocks a nearby T3 with some loot. They also drop a Lumbermill key upon death. If you obtain three (0ne from each), then you can use them to access a t4 chest (locked behind a Lumbermill Mechanism kill req.). What is the point of the Lumber Mill keys? Wynn has the tech to just make a kill req, as shown with the Lumbermill Mech. kill req. It would be easier (and take less inventory space) to just count kills instead!
    tl;dr replace the Lumbermill Keys in the cave with a Warden kill req.

    I wondered that myself. It's vaguely thematic, but it doesn't seem high-tech enough for Wynn. Finding a specific dropped item to pick up is a hassle, especially if you walk into the cave not knowing that you have to pick these up, or not realising when you've killed a warden. I have a few guesses as to why it was implemented this way:
    • Theme.
    • There's a range limit on enemy kill detection, and the Lumbermill is a large enough map that the saw wouldn't be able to reach some of the wardens (the one underground?).
    • An enemy's death being checked by multiple locations causes problems (the Wardens iirc also unlock local chests in addition to dropping keys for the big one).
    • An enemy's death being checked by both a chest and a world element causes problems.
    • The creator of this cave was a newbie (I once had an elaborate complaint about The Scarred Spring which received the response of "it's my first quest") and nobody picked up on this in QA.

    Fix this for Krisa Manor as well. It is abysmal to have to re-teleport spam into the room because you forgot an eye. (And worse than Lumber mill bc it's different items
