Description

<name>... a favor.

My research partner Matrean and I are studying the local wildlife and their relationship to the Void.

I've concluded my findings, but Matrean--reckless and obsessive as ever--insists there is more to discover.

Can you help convince him to return here?

I can't seem to find this quest. Oddly, it leads to "A Bigger Beast" which also had an ! on the map. I went to bigger beast first, and it wasn't there, and in the process of looking it up, the questgiver appeared. I thought it just took some RP that I missed while minimized, but there was no follow up to the bigger beast quest. Then I could not "scholarly pursuit" either (maybe bc I somehow did step first?).. I will update if I figure it out.

This quest is highlighted on the map and given by Kelia Everglow at the The Ingress. One of the follow ups, Sampling the Local Fare, is also highlighted on the map and given by [npc=236930] in the Bladeburrows.
As this is only a breadcrumb quest, if you take 'Sampling the Local Fare' first, you will not be able to pick up this quest.

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.
