Description

You came down the Coreway, right? From up top? <Toki chuckles.> They have it easy, those city earthen. Down here, death comes for you from all around. From below. From above. You look like you've killed a fair few beasts in your time. Care to add another to the list?

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.

  • Bless These HomesThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    Divine presence acknowledged. Every day for as long as my memory serves me, I have walked the routes and lit the incense around our homes. It has ground my joints to dust, but is it an important task. A sacred task.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Brax's Brass KnucklesThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    I have a proposition for you. We get some rowdy patrons here from time to time. Nothing sinister, but our folk work hard and things can get out of hand faster than a dropped hammer.
