Botanical Legwork

Botanical Legwork is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-20 in Ammen Vale. It is step 9 of 22 in the Ammen Vale storyline. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 2,750 experience and money.

Description

The Ammen Fields to the west are the primary breeding ground of the local lasher population. With the corruption of the water table from the nearby lake, Botanist Taerix is worried that the lashers will not be able to repopulate themselves once we've cleansed the lake.

Go to the Ammen Fields and pick some of the corrupted flowers for me so that I might take a look at them and see what can be done. You should be able to identify them by their uncharacteristic red petals.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • What Must Be Done...Ammen Vale · Level 1-20

    The nearby lake has been contaminated by one of the ship's power crystals. Many of the plants and animals of Ammen Vale have been mutated because of this. I have a theory on how to heal the lake, but I must have samples from the mutated lashers for analysis.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Healing the LakeAmmen Vale · Level 1-20

    Thank goodness, I think it'll work! I have an agent for you to spread at Silverline Lake to the south. It will neutralize the effects of the irradiated ship's power crystal that fell there. Swim out and scatter the neutralizing agent near it.
