Prepare to be annoyed by other people. You can attack hawks and sprites that are carrying bags of grain, and they will drop them on the floor. Since you get interrupted when they hit you, usually some other guy comes along and "steals" your quest item.

I recommend you use an aoe stun for the sprites as they usually come in packs of 4-5 and loot the item while they are stunned or otherwise CC'd. The hawks are always alone unless you accidentally pull multiple so a single target stun / CC will likely suffice.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Quest for Better BarleyValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    Looking for sweet grain? My father once mentioned a malted cave barley that sounds about right. If you are willing to brave the peril, there is an ancient cave at the base of the Winds' Edge south of here. There is even an old lift my father made when he would travel into the jungle.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Chen Taste TestValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    Uncle Chen is going to love this. Or... he might tell us to find something sweeter. He's kind of dumb like that. Let's get this grain back to him at Halfhill.
