Koozat and Keem too difficult? I know I'm not an amazing player, but I should be able to solo a campaign quest. These two fold me up like I'm nothing.

So all these merchants sold grey-quality items for 1,000 gold. If those turn out to be needed for some sort of secret or achievement, are they available elsewhere upon completion of this quest?

As Hunter i froze kozzat first. Then fought keem.when fighting kiz i had to interrupt as much as possible and stay out of way of blast. I died twice before I figured this out. Hope it helps.

Description

Powdercap said that the visiting travelers were the first to show signs of the Lightbloom infection--right after you questioned them! Sadly, it seems Koozat has also fallen to the sickness. Take out the merchants and see to Koozat as well. He's far too dangerous a creature to be trampling around here.

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.

Halting Harm in Har'maraHarandar · Level 83-88
Lightbloom-infected rutaani are attacking the village! Rizam and Teetem both succumbed to the infection. It looks like Eonka hasn't been affected, but we must handle the others. I will stay here and keep an eye on her. I need you to do what you can to protect Har'mara.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Seeds of the RiftHarandar · Level 83-88
The situation is stabilizing, but let's make sure we're in the clear. I will see how Hagar is faring. Check on Eonka again and be sure that she's not showing any signs of Lightbloom. She is on an upper level in Hagar's Hut.
