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.

Description

Since you are heading south, can you try to recover some of the grain that these thieves made off with? We saw birds and sprites running off with entire bags of our best bulk stock into the fields east and south of here.

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.

  • 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.
