Eating Through the Defenses

Eating Through the Defenses is an Alliance-only quest for level 20-60 in Drustvar. It is step 4 of 10 in the Caring about Corlain storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Drustvar at 27.0, 25.2. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

Description

Not sure why and don't rightly care, but for some reason the coven can't come near my onion field. So long as my crop doesn't give out, I can hole up in here as long as it takes.

Unfortunately, those boars got the same idea and now they're eatin' up my harvest! If they keep that up, soon there'll be nothin' keepin' the coven at bay!

If you can do me a favor and thin them out, I'd be happy to let you take some of these onions with you.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Reeking RefugeDrustvar · Level 20-60

    Oh good, maybe you can make sense of this. I was just carving through a swath of the coven's lackeys when I stumbled across this field. Something here has knocked these guys completely out of commission! I can't seem to find the source, but maybe you'll have better luck.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • An Offensive HarvestDrustvar · Level 20-60

    So you're takin the fight to the coven with the Waycrest girl, eh? Ya might just be able to take advantage of their apparent onion aversion. While you're out rootin' in the field, keep an eye out for any onions bulging out of the ground.
