Seems like the recent patches have left a lot of water based quests very buggy, and this one is no exception. The divers are underground, so the lake seems to be abandoned except for the odd single diver walking the shore but not targetable, or you can but they magically teleport to the water for no particular reason.

What to do

StorylineBorean Tundra, step 68 of 182
Rewards4,100 XP

Description

To the west of us you will find Lake Kum'uya. It is, as far as we know, the only freshwater giant clam habitat in the world. Of course Nesingwary's lackeys are now using the lake as a giant pearl farm. They must be stopped! A lesson must be taught to those that would think to endanger an entire species. Go to Lake Kum'uya and locate the loot crazed divers. Slay them until the water runs red! Return to me when a proper example has been made!

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.

  • Nedar, Lord of Rhinos...Borean Tundra · Level 10-30

    West of here, on the high bluffs above Lake Kum'uya, roams a despicable being known as Nedar. The self proclaimed "Lord of Rhinos" hunts the wastes for the injured or young - rhinos unable to defend themselves against his cowardly attacks.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Abandoned ReachBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    We have just gotten word from Liandra that mercenaries hired by Nesingwary are moving goods off the beach and onto the main Nesingwary shipping vessel. No doubt they plan on making a fortune from their murderous trade!
