Means to an End

Means to an End is an Alliance-only quest for level 30-60 in Stormsong Valley. It is step 13 of 43 in the A House in Peril storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Stormsong Valley at 66.3, 56.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

Description

In our haste to journey here I did not think to bring my ritual implements we tidesages use to augment our power.

To be honest, I had never expected them necessary on what should have been a peaceful sojourn.

Addington does not have his, either. I am sure the militia took him from his home before he had the chance to react.

That means his implements should still be in the yard somewhere. We must find them before my power is of much real use.

If you've completed this quest and met Brother Pike and are wondering why you can't continue the quest line, it's because you also need to finish the quests starting with Forced Labor from [npc=130904] nearby.

Wish I'd realized that and grabbed them both because you're running around that same area killing the mobs that are in the way anyway.

Your coordinates show all 3 items at the same location...NOT I found the beacon at 65 58 and the mantle at 67 60. I know these aren't exact but that will get you close and you should see the yellow dot on your map.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Lost, Not ForgottenStormsong Valley · Level 30-60

    I know not what madness has overtaken my people, but we must stop it together. Take this bell. It calls the souls of the recently deceased to it for later release. We Stormsong do not bury our dead in the earth. The tides claim all.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Rising TideStormsong Valley · Level 30-60

    This mainspring wasn't altered by an engineer. These runes on the surface can only have come from a tidesage. Their aquatic magic is unmistakable. I'd bet whoever did this is also responsible for Addington's death. Whoever they are, they're likely still nearby. Keep an eye out...
