Dialogue during the quest:

Tharessa Sunstrand says: Professionals, huh?
Rannan Korren says: Shh! Patience!
Rannan Korren says: It's moving!
Tuberros says: Ooh!
Rannan Korren says: It's alive! It's aliiiiive!
Tuberros says: I'm a rich niffen!
Titan Orb says: Scanning life forms.
Tharessa Sunstrand says: Um, what is it doing?
Titan Orb says: Danger. Unidentified life form. Scanning for active defense grid. Alpha site uplink acquired. Repositioning.
Rannan Korren says: Uh oh. An active defense grid?
Tharessa Sunstrand says: What does that mean?

Dialogue after quest completion:
Tharessa Sunstrand says: Hey, if I am risking my life adventuring with you two, I want a share of Tuberros's profits.
Tuberros says: Smart lady. I'll give ya twenty percent! Now, come on. I smell more shinies this-a-way.
Tharessa Sunstrand says: Deal!
Rannan Korren says: What? No, no, no. We're not pirates! We're researchers! Tharessa! Wait!
Rannan Korren says: Tubes? I thought you couldn't swim?
Tuberros says: Niffen can swim like fish. It's just like digging!

Quest text before turning in quest:
Alpha site? Defense grid?

I don't like the sound of that.

We should get going. I don't want to be here if its friends come back with it.

That's not a reunion party I want to be a part of.

Hopefully it won't hone in on Tharessa...
Nah, prob not. Anyway, we should get going. Like now.

Catch you later, <player character>. Thanks for your... um, help? I guess?

Description

You found a buzz orb! ...Er, that's what the niffen call it. I just kind of went with it. It's still in a good condition. Still buzzing, humming, and warm to the touch! I haven't seen one since we were in Zaralek Cavern! {name}, you should see if we can get it to work. I will stand back here, just in case it is, um, not friendly. Nothing to worry about, I'm sure.

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Because It's ShinyIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    While these two were ordering you around, I thought I would do something useful and make sure the gorlocs were not going to surprise us here on the beach. None of them seemed interested in us, but then I saw one huge gorloc. It killed off some smaller gorlocs then took off.
