There should not be substantial guards at Katie's location except for the magic stones that make up her cage, but as she has a huge aggro range, it may be worthwhile to kill any Red Cap groups within a reasonable range to prevent Katie from immediately engaging in combat upon rescue.

			* In earlier [[Issues]] of the game, players were able to finish this Task Force in a very short time (less than half an hour) by [[Mission#Dropping Missions\|dropping the first mission]]. The long fights could be skipped and the task force would continue, leading to unfairly quick recipe rewards. This has since been changed in [[Issue 10]] by requiring players to defeat [[Mary MacComber]] all 10 times to proceed.

	~~; Time restriction on recipe rewards~~
	~~: A few issues ago and prior to~~ [[~~Issue 13~~]]~~, all~~ [[~~Task Forces~~]] ~~had a timer in place to prevent players from claiming a rare recipe from a given Task Force less than 4 hours after claiming a rare recipe from the same Task Force.~~

	{{bug\|From [[Issue 15]] onwards, [[Mary MacComber]] spawns at her initial level according to [[notoriety]] and remains at that level (along with her waves of [[Cabal]]) for her subsequent nine respawns without gradually increasing in level. It is unknown if this is intentional or if this is a bug.}}
