What to do
Description
Behold, Marasmius! This is his home, his heart. Every mushroom in Ardenweald, maybe even all of the Shadowlands, stems from here. And the masked fae want to take him for their own purposes. As chief mushroomancer, I cannot abide this. Our foes may look mindless, but they are clever. They will have tracked my position by now. I shall make my final stand here, and hope that Marasmius is strong enough to lend his aid. Will you stand with me, {class}?
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.
- Ring Repairs
The damage wrought here is severe, but it can be reversed. My master is weakened by all this destruction, but mushrooms are difficult to completely eradicate. By restoring power to the rings throughout the grove, we can strengthen them once again. Take this beacon.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- My Way or the Hyphae
<An old, booming voice fills your mind.> Hmph. More are coming. I would rather not lose more of myself, and I don't want you to think I'm not appreciative of the work you and Cort here have done. How about you take a ride on the rings and give those oafs a good thrashing?
