Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cleaning UpLevel 45

    When the Nightmare spreads, it consumes the life force of all that it touches. The more it spreads, the weaker our magic becomes. In its early stages, before the taint has taken hold, we can still cleanse the affected areas. I will bless you with Elune's grace.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Communing With MalorneLevel 45

    Our work here is done, <name>. We have successfully defended the Dreamway. It will be only a matter of time before it is restored to its former state. But we have more important matters at hand. Take the Idol of the Wilds and go onward to Nordrassil. With any luck, they have already gathered.
