Quest Log

An Expert Opinion

An Expert Opinion is a quest for level 1-90. It is step 2 of 8 in the Born to Be Wilder storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Azure Span at 13.9, 49.8.

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!

  • 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?
