Description

Lubbins' wounds may have healed, but I am afraid his confidence may still be injured. I believe it is time to call on others for help. Far to the southwest in a remote section of the Azure Span there is a pet trainer named Patchu. She is one of the world's foremost experts on these matters. Please visit her, I am sure she can help Lubbins!

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Oh Where, Oh Where Can He Be?Level 1-90

    <name>, I am glad to see you! I am worried sick and could use your help. Recently, I rescued an abandoned proto-drake whelp. I named him Lubbins because he is so lovely! I brought him here to care for him and hopefully find him a good home as someone's pet.

After this quest

    I think that I know what we gotta do, <name>. But first, let's talk about it! I even have a gift to give you after we're done! Fun, right?
