Description

I would love to teach you, but it's so hard for me to concentrate right now. I haven't eaten anything all day, so it's all I can think about. However, if a helpful adventurer were to fish up some lane snapper from the ocean just behind me, I would owe them a something in return. Perhaps something valuable, such as advice in regards to effectively picking the notorious winter's kiss. If you don't feel like fishing, you could just buy some on the auction house, I don't mind.

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.
