Description

You know, it's amazing what you can find in that old lighthouse. After I lit the lamp, I noticed this book in one of the old trunks up there. <Babs holds up the book and reads the title dramatically.> "Dastardly Denizens of the Deep!" Why, I think I might swoon if I ever saw one of these! I'm sure it's good for a laugh or two, but I simply don't have time for reading right now. You know who might enjoy it, though... that fishmonger on the docks, "Dirty" Michael Crowe. He collects old books.

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.

  • Thresher OilDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    The old log in the lighthouse indicates that the lamp was fueled with oil from the threshers that live along the coast here. <Babs wrinkles her nose at the mention of such outdated technology.> I suppose it's a practical, if inelegant solution.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Is it Real?Dustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    Oh, I'm sure you and Babs had a good laugh over the outlandish descriptions and sketches in the book, but have you stopped to consider there might be some truth to the legends?
