Description

I've seen the ritual. It's... terrifying.

But the altars seem to be the key. If only I had my pyrotechnic powder, I could blast them to bits!

<Primrose is silent for a moment, then takes a deep breath.>

If you could get the powder and guard me, we could blow up those altars.

I stashed as much as I could in our dwellings. They don't seem to care any more.

You don't have wings, but a pinch of faerie dust should work for a short time.

Let's do this before I change my mind!

So right now in the beta the quest text isn't the most helpful thing out there. Here's what you need to do:


  2. You need to fly (either using [item=174042], which is a drop from the enemies in the area, or clicking on [object=349383]. Then just use double jump to enable flying)

  4. Fly up and grab the [item=174078] from the baskets hanging up in the air

  6. Use the [item=174078] on the altars

Hopefully that clears it up!

Edit: added mention of faerie dust source

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out ThereArdenweald · Level 10-57

    They need your help! Not all of the faeries have been turned yet. Some remain prisoner, but they have these masks on their faces.... You've got to help them! I'm not strong enough to pry off the masks, but you could! You could stop the guards from getting us too!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Beneath the MaskArdenweald · Level 10-57

    It's time to end this. When I first hid, I saw a dark shape on the northeast platform. I think that's their leader. Now that they can't perform any more rituals, we should be able to scare them off. <Primrose pauses for a moment.> I... I just wanted to say thank you.
