I finally polished off all of the 'Major' missions in Blue Mountain last night. Or at least, I thought I had, as I had done all the quests from every NPC marked on my map. Until, as I finished my last quest in the zone, I noticed a computer inside of a black van in the Orochi compound. It had two quests for me. Both were marked devastating.
Being a fearless sort, I picked up The Filth Amendment and tried it anyway. This was not a good idea. The mobs in the quarry tore me apart, and in short order, disabused of any notions of completion, I moved on to Egypt.
What I want to know though, is when should I return to Blue Mountain to take care of these quests? They were marked as devastating when I was in full QL6 gear with a QL8 weapon. At what point do these quests transition to Hard or Normal?

As Shinrai has stated, The Filth Amendment is a QL10 mission if done solo, but can be done by a full group in QL6 gear. So either find some friends or come back when you've reached Transylvania (at which point you should be in QL10 gear).
The second quest is an investigation mission and involves no combat. It can be done at any level (although as usual the puzzles are pleasantly challenging in other ways).
