Description

I'm impressed. Elder Honeypelt speaks highly of you--and that's rare!

Your friends Ebyssian and Emberthal admittedly made similar impressions with us after we caught their scent. They told me of your hunt for the fiery monster that's invaded Zaralek from the uplands. A worthy reason to become allies.

But we'll need a bit more time to discuss it. Why not take a short break to meet with my people. Trade, leisure, travel--there's no shortage of ways to spend your time here in Loamm!

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.

  • Welcome to the City of SmellsZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    Ain't it incredible, uplander! Now for the backbreaking labor. We've got to deliver this deepflayer meat to all my customers and collect their pay. I'd carry it all myself, but I'm just a poor, old, frail, gorgeous woman in need now, aren't I?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Six Hundred Feet UnderZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    That was just a taste of the niffen lifestyle. There's still far more to Loamm and even more from Zaralek Cavern. Continue exploring while you pursue the fiery monster, and let its scents continue to amaze you! For now, Ebyssian asked that I send you his way.
