"Unfortunately, you'll have to kill the others" is no longer true: the Mutated Owlkin are now neutral, making this quest a trivial matter of hunting for enough Nestlewoods.

Description
Zhanaa needs our help to salvage parts from the Exodar. Taerix prepared an inoculum that can be given to the Nestlewood owlkin that live in the area of a lot of the salvage. Just get close to the unaffected ones and use the crystal on them. Unfortunately, you'll have to kill the others. You'll find the owlkin at Nestlewood Thicket and Nestlewood Hills to the southeast.

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.
- Vindicator Aldar
With your help, we were able to find a solution to our problems faster than I could have hoped. I don't have any other work for you to do. My apprentices and I can handle the rest. You should go speak with Vindicator Aldar on the other side of the ship.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Missing Scout
We now have several separate confirmations of unusual activity up on the Shadow Ridge. This is disturbing; we thought that the scouting missions already undertaken had been thorough. One of my scouts hasn't reported back yet.
The storyline at a glance
Ammen Vale has 22 steps, from You Survived! to Word from Azure Watch.
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Ammen Vale (18), Azuremyst Isle (4).
