A Bittersweet Prize is a quest for level 60 in Bastion. It is step 11 of 13 in the A Vessel of Ardenweald storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Bastion at 66.4, 16.4. It rewards 1,000 experience and money.
I... I don't know what to say.
All that is left is to return Willo... the vessel... to Polemarch Adrestes in Bastion. This sacrifice must not be in vain.

I didn't know you long, but you will be missed, Willowblossom. :'(
I thought these quests were stupid and I thought Willow was pulling a joke.
But I felt bad when I found out this was her last day and she just wanted to enjoy it!
I really didn't expect the outcome and I already miss Willowblossom.
I hope there is a future quest where we can bring her back, perhaps as pet?
That would be awesome.

This is quite a ceremony, everyone is here. This ritual is essential to the recreation of the Crest of Ascension and the preservation of Bastion. We owe the Winter Queen and Willowblossom a great debt. Someday, I hope we can repay them.

With this greatest of gifts from Ardenweald, we have the final piece to rebuild the Crest of Ascension. Let us make certain Willowblossom's sacrifice is not in vain.
