Buffer Zone

Buffer Zone is a quest for level 83-88 in Harandar. It is step 2 of 5 in the Cultivating Hope storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Harandar at 42.3, 34.2. It rewards 12,150 experience and money.

Description

At this shrine, I have worked to gather roots that seem to still have the possibility of life within them. They are each greatly damaged, some more than others. My hope is some might recover, with enough time and enough care. In that way, I honor the great tree's memory.

For that to be possible, though, we have to keep them safe from the hazards of Harandar.

Please be sure that nothing nearby threatens them.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Former RootwardenHarandar · Level 83-88

    <name>, I was the Rootwarden of Teldrassil. For years, I watched the roots here below the surface, but I was not aware of what was threatening the tree outside of Harandar. For just as long, I have regretted that failure, but we cannot change the past.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Natural RemedyHarandar · Level 83-88

    If we ever hope to see new growth, Teldrassil's roots needs a great deal of special attention. The source of this stream is one of the great roots. The water carries ash, which I believe still contains the tree's essence.

The storyline at a glance

Cultivating Hope has 5 steps, from The Former Rootwarden to Tending Hope.
