Description

I have been pondering what Hagar could have meant from the moment Orweyna mentioned an answer to your problems. There are no mystical fountains--no weapons. Everything in the rift is created from the same source: Alndust, the distillation of the influence of the goddess. If we hunt a large manifestation, you will have the power of creation in its purest form. We cannot defeat it without help. Search the rift and look for fungi large enough to cultivate. I can use them to give us an edge.

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 Madness Roots DeepHarandar · Level 83-88

    I found you while I was in the middle of one of my duties. Someone has spent too long within the rift and has fallen prey to the call of the goddess. I must rescue him and send him back to where he belongs. Help me with this task, and I will help you.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Before They GrowHarandar · Level 83-88

    Within every creature that roams the Rift of Aln thrums a gathering of the foundation of the goddess's influence. This Alndust yearns to merge with others of its ilk. Part of my duties as the Shul'ka is to make sure to keep the number of large manifestations low so they do not overwhelm the Den.
