Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Rough RideSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    Zepik is best hunter of the Frenzyheart. Zepik hunts big-tongues... ugly things near swamps that try to steal all stuff they can find. Zepik going on long trek to break big-tongue shrine and try to scare them away. We no want big-tongues in this land anymore.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Mist Isn't ListeningSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    Gorillas and wasps are boring! Big-tongues the only thing fun to hunt. While we mess up rain shrine, we kill lots of mist big-tongues. That sure to make them not want to come back to village thing. <Zepik nods to himself confidently.>
