Putting Roots Down

Putting Roots Down is a quest for level 10-80 in Emerald Dream. It is step 7 of 12 in the Eye of Ysera storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Emerald Dream at 53.1, 28.2. It rewards 9,500 experience and money.

Description

Our trap is many-layered.

Plant these seeds around town. Our gardeners have already prepared the soil. These plants will be effective tools to poisoning our enemy. Handle them carefully, for some may sprout sooner than later.

Also, Kiya Featherpaw, our umbraclaw keeper, has an idea to mobilize the very strong creatures. Go speak with her.

Finally, meet with Somnikus to give everyone the signal that battle is imminent.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Good CounselEmerald Dream · Level 10-80

    Galok is a coward. He refuses to engage us directly until he is sure of success. We do not have the resources to attack his base. But if we cannot go to him, maybe we can entangle him in our own territory. I am confident we can prepare a trap here for Galok and his forces.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Merithra's GambitEmerald Dream · Level 10-80

    We are ready as we can be. Our guard is in place, and our trap ripe to spring. The emerald preservers' magic is linked to Ysera's. Upon your signal, they will simultaneously drop the magical defense. This is what Galok's been waiting for. His forces will swoop in like carrion birds.
