Description

I'm sure I can find this Bovan Windtotem--but I will need a few items from you. First, I need a selection of flowers that grow at the base of the springs. They have the specific properties we are looking for. Next, I require the heart of a salamanther. A stronger heart will better our chances--look for the strongest you can find! I can gather the rest of the materials on my own.

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.

  • Bovan's Last HopeOhn'ahran Plains · Level 70

    If Bovan is not here, the Nokhud could have taken him anywhere. We might have one last chance to find him, but it's a long shot. We still have Bovan's necklace. One of the Ohn'ir mystics might be able to use it to help divine his location.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • What Words Are WorthOhn'ahran Plains · Level 70

    Let me just grind these flowers and... there we are, all ready! Take these items and place them in the incense burner. Together with Bovan's necklace, I can entreat Ohn'ahra to help us find him. With luck, she will give us a vision.
