I've just tried the new heat mechanic changes to Nasdara after reading the release notes.
I was expecting not being able to run from an eastern spawn straight to Qatat-e Lut
To my disappointment I made it with the single drink and fig you get, and if I didn't get lost for a sec I would have both to spare.
As full of loot QEL is, I think this should not be possible. You go from fresh to geared so fast, and it provides you with food and drink to prevent you from dying.
