A Mage's Knowledge

A Mage's Knowledge is a quest for level 1-10 in Exile's Reach. It is step 30 of 68 in The Missing Expedition storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Exile's Reach at 52.1, 55.5. It rewards 1,750 experience and money.

Description

You've got some good spells for a novice mage. There are a few things holding you back, though.

For instance, it's absolutely clear to me you don't know Polymorph.

If you did, you would've been using it on the harpies that were attacking us!

Let's fix that. My spellbook has details on how to cast it... but my captors threw it into the nearby lake.

Grab it for me, would you? Oh, and don't look through the book beforehand.

You will almost certainly regret it if you do.

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.

  • Hunting the StalkerExile's Reach · Level 1-10

    Now that you have your trap, we can move onto the true problem at hand. A strange creature not native to this island has been stalking our camp. I think we should capture it and see how it can help us. Set the freezing trap within these ruins to lure it out. We'll see just what we are dealing with.

After this quest

  • The Best Way to Use SheepExile's Reach · Level 1-10

    I can't send you off without making sure you can cast Polymorph correctly. Why, if you messed it up you may transform someone into something completely different! I want to make sure I'm around to take notes if that happens. Let's see... ah, Throg will do nicely!
