Description

Some of our trainees have... larger-than normal appetites. We have occasionally had difficulty supplying enough food for all of them. In times like these, we have to ask for help.

A kindly older woman, who lives in a small house to the northwest, has agreed to make some stew for our trainees. All you need to do is go and get it.

Once you gather the Boiling Cauldron, it will follow you like a pet. You CAN mount up to return the cauldron, it will still follow you. Just be sure to not travel too far ahead of it, or it will despawn. I lost it several times because I wasn't giving it time to catch up.

For those of you who returned to quickly and lost your cauldron on the way back, the coordinates of the cauldron are 37,17.

Since the map doesn't show you where the cauldron is after the first part of the quest is complete, I had some trouble remembering where it was when I had to go retrieve it again.

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.

  • A Proper WeaponThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    First things first, though. A proper trainee needs a proper weapon. And a scrupulous trainee builds his own... or at least gathers the materials. The switches which grow nearby should suffice for any respectable weapon. You'll also need to shop for black walnut extract to treat the wood.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Steady HandThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    The black walnut extract you purchased from Miss Whiteblossom is but one of many extracts we keep in stock for various applications. Blushleaf extract can be gathered from the flowers in the Waxwood Forest to the west.
