Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

I've always suspected that the pillars have been the main reason for our weather and seclusion from the undead... this confirms it a bit. Not terribly long ago, there was a sound of a great explosion when the Lifeblood Pillar fell. The weather changed for the mosswalkers almost immediately... it began to snow, something we never see. They were able to stop the snow by bringing more lifeblood crystals to the Great Moss Stone. Perhaps if we can do the same, it will help ward off the undead as well.

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.

    There's some small chance that the Mosswalkers are not all dead yet... and at the very least, they deserve to not be butchered like this. Let's find some revenge for this slaughter and see if there are any to be saved in the process.
