This felt slightly vague in the description. I was trying to use the Hides next to the vents/geysers which had steam shooting out of them -Its not them though. Look around and you will see small vents which have red plants surrounding them.

Start off by killing the Marsh Caribou's Located right outside of the Village to get the Uncured Caribou Hide. Drop rate sucks (20.0%).

Once you get 5 take them to the Geyser Fields (66.28). Approach any pillar (Geyser) that has steam coming & red plants near it, and stand next to it, right click your Uncured Caribou Hide stack and it will turn them into Steam Cured Hide

Combine with:
Cleaning up the Pools
Souls of the Decursed

*Just Grab your Uncursed Caribou Hides first!

What to do

StorylineBorean Tundra, step 159 of 182

Description

Remember all that gnomish duct tape you brought me? Well, I've found a use for it. The body of this flying machine is so banged up in places, that I'm going to need to reinforce it if I ever hope to fly. Dorain over there has been telling me that the taunka use steam cured caribou leather for making watertight containers. Marsh caribou live all around the village and in the Flood Plains to the south. Get the best hides you can find and cure them over the steam vents in the Geyser Fields.

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 Power of the ElementsBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    I kept trying to tell that silly goblin his machines are unreliable. But the power of the elements; that is deep and abiding. When my apprenticeship is over, I will wield their full power. What I know now should be sufficient to help out our friend Fezzix, though.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Scouting the SinkholesBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Can you feel the tremors in the earth? The Scourge's nerubians are on the move deep beneath the ground. They've emerged to the southwest in the Geyser Fields, and are harassing the patrols Chieftain Wintergale sent out.
