 * Staying out of the center of the room while fighting is advised to avoid being thrown up into the ceiling spikes when the Stormreaver uses his anti-gravity effect.


 * The blue barrier which appears just within the entrance after initiating the quest will cast an AOE spell point drain (Have seen ticks ranging from 163-276 Spell Points (normal) 483-1083 Spell Points (elite) every 4 seconds (on normal) to characters standing too close to it.


 * Do not kill the Stormreaver until all the spinning skulls ("orbs") are lit and the switch for the western puzzle area blue barrier has been pulled. The Stormreaver gives out a spell called "Fly" for the purpose of pulling a switch (located in a spike-lined tunnel in the ceiling, to the West) after all the orbs are lit. The resurrection switch is also found through the spiked tunnel and to the east. It is usually good for someone to hit both switches (although the fly spell may not last this long, just in case someone dies they can rejoin the fight and help once again.


 * Arcanes, Do not use dimension door in the quest. It will take you to the start, behind a blue barrier which will keep you from being able to get the end-reward chests.


 * Air Elementals have extremely high saving throws to discourage players from making the raid too trivial by insta killing them, although Implosion, Finger of Death, Power Word: Kill and Phantasmal Killer are the choices to kill them outright.


 * For the puzzle part, it is a straight implementation of "Master Mind" game (Wikipedia article). With a small adjustment with numbers instead of colors to help with colorblind people. Although using solver programs is very popular among players, it is not too difficult to learn the mathematical basics of the game. Try these links if you are interested.
