Enter the mine of Farshire, and at the quite beginning you'll find some green stuff at the floor. You can't miss it when entering the mine. If you don't know where Farshire is, check the first comment on the first quest in this serie.

Description

There's Scourge everywhere, {class}. We've organized the farmers and miners into a militia, but this just won't cut it. The one detachment of troops that Valiance Keep sent is defending the mine. We haven't heard from them in days! If you really wish to help us, why don't you go to the mine and see what's going on? Maybe we can get them to send us some reinforcements.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Hunt is OnBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    I've made it my business to learn as much as possible about the vile death cult, including their secret language. Vurenn was right. The cultists mention disguised operatives in various locations in Valiance Keep: the lower docks, the jail inside the inner hold and in the inn's kitchen.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Pernicious EvidenceBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    The sacks of grain emanate the foul stench you've come to associate with the Plague. This probably explains what happened to the footmen defending the mine. You'd best bring word back to Gerald Green.
