Description

<The discarded paper contains a list of the items the Adventurer's Society has found during the course of their 'excavation' here at the Northern Caverns. It is unlikely they actually found relics, but there's no harm in recovering the items the kids found. At the least they're souvenirs of the adventure.>

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.

  • Mistakes Were MadeDrustvar · Level 20-60

    My friends and I wanna be explorers so we made the Society. There are troggs here, right? So that means there's probably ancient stuff nearby! The books say troggs like shiny things so we pooled some of our allowance and gave them gold so we could dig. It didn't work out like we expected.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Terminal DegreeDrustvar · Level 20-60

    That's everyone but Nigel. He's in the big cave! I bet he went in there to look for relics, but now he's tied up! Would you save him too?
