Quest Log

Respect for the Past

Respect for the Past is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 34 of 45 in the Legion Leatherworking storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Highmountain at 45.7, 64.9. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

We record the mistakes of the past so we can learn to avoid them in the present. However, recording history is not just about preventing missteps, but also to celebrate our successes.

Scattered around Highmountain at sacred locations are racks with stamped leather, much like the ones here, with stories to tell.

Go to these locations, pay your respect, and learn their lessons.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Evolution of the PastLevel 10-45

    As we make stronger armor, the creatures we battle adapt and learn to defeat us. We in turn create better armor, and they in turn learn to defeat it yet again. For centuries, my people have battled the basilisks of the mesas below. They have adapted to us as thoroughly as we have to them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Debt PaidLevel 10-45

    Now, I've never heard of a ghost sending a letter before, but I'll be damned if'n I didn't just receive one now. Celea has sent fer ye, lad. I'd best be on me way if I were ye. Might be bad luck to keep a spirit waiting.
