can't hit Horntail
I was so excited to hit 130 on my Aran today so I could Horntail.
I took the portal to Leafre, took the quest from Tatamo, got into the Horntail cave...and couldn't hit him.
Why?

Normal Horntail is level 160.
If you are level 130, you get not only a 30% damage penalty (1% per level under the mob), you also lose 30 x 2% = 60% accuracy, leaving you with only a 40% hit rate and 70% of your normal damage (minus however much PDR he has, I believe it's around ~50%).
Level 130 is for entrance, but that's way too low to solo unless you're outfitted with end-game gear. I think easy horntail is only level 135 though.
