Description

Some say the great trees grow, and Harandar will remain even if we do not tend them. Our traditions say, it does not matter. We remain here to protect, tend and serve. We do this with dedication and humility. Keeping the environment around the roots clean and free of pests reflects upon this duty. Return to me once you are done. You will represent our ways well, {name}.

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.

  • Initiation DayLevel 10-90

    <name>, today is when you find your proper place among the haranir. Root Tender Dalnir will guide you. His path is one of tradition and humility, so don't expect excitement. By the end of the day, you will make your mark in the Den of Remembrance.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Traditional DutiesLevel 10-90

    Dalnir has a point about the ceremony, but we should not focus too narrowly. I still hold the values of our people, but sometimes we must look beyond. Do not worry. You should be focusing on the ceremony. I will search for the outsiders later.

Rooted In Traditions has 5 steps, from Initiation Day to Stranger in a New Land.
