If you are a fire or frost mage expect one of them to be immune to your magic. Go with some spells from the arcane tree or use the opposite form of magic. Use frost on Simmer and fire on Churn. If you are deep speced in one as I was expect it to suck.

Hunters be careful with misdirect. I had to kill Simmer twice and Churn three times, because when I misdirected onto my pet (and they died basically before misdirect was over), it didn't give me credit.

Description

Ah, it is information that you crave: the whereabouts and condition of your 'farseer'. He did not see so far as to avoid the trouble which befell him. Nevertheless, I will give you the means to acquire the knowledge. But first, you will do some things for me. No doubt you have seen the war between fire and water to the south. Simmer keeps boiling Churn's pool, and the two have been battling for ages. Go to the Charred Rise and Blistering Pool, and convince each of them to stop their bickering.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Sky Will KnowBorean Tundra · Level 10-30
I must find out what happened to my master, Farseer Grimwalker! Earlier, he was observing the magnataur at nearby Magmoth. But one of his grunts just returned, saying that the group had been crushed, and that the farseer was dragged into the depths of the place.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Motes of the EnragedBorean Tundra · Level 10-30
Now that their little squabble is dealt with, there is still the matter of helping you and your spirit talker. As you can see, my vassals have been enraged by the ongoing war between fire and water. This will not change anytime soon, but it will serve to your advantage.
