What to do
Description
This guy's the son of the Earthen leader! He almost made it to the temple when he got ambushed by more rock flayers than I can count! We know that the Earthen Stonefather has the middle fragment of the World Pillar. Maybe if we were to heal his son, the Stonefather would give us the fragment? My heals won't work on Flint here. But if we were to get some of the quartzite resin off of these monsters, I think I can make an explosive compound that will bond and cauterize his wounds.
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.
- Where's Goldmine?
My goblin initiate has been gone for quite some time. His name is Goldmine. I sent him out to observe the local rock flayers southwest at the Quartzite Basin. Perhaps you would be willing to find him? When you do, please ask him to come back to the temple.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Something that Burns
Alright, we need something that's going to make the compound go, "Boom"! I'm all out of gun powder, but I think I know what we can use instead... the heart of my fire elemental! Here, take my fire totem east to the Blood Trail.
