Quest Log

Sharp Thinking

Sharp Thinking is an Alliance-only quest for level 20-60 in Drustvar. It is step 3 of 7 in the Arom's Stand storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Drustvar at 36.9, 50.1. It rewards 1 reward item, 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

Description

I have reason to believe that the coven has already infiltrated Arom's Stand. There are many unfamiliar faces here, with the refugees from Corlain, and we know they can use their magic to appear like one of us.

This needle is fashioned of solid silver. If the witches are indeed vulnerable to silver, then a prick from this may be enough to break their spell.

The refugees may not be keen on being prodded, but they must understand that this is for the good of the town... and perhaps all of Drustvar.

I noticed that when you first click on a villager, they will say "Keep your distance mainlander." the first time you poke them, they are almost always witches.
This may or may not be an actual thing.. But it was for me every time!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Lesson in Witch HuntingDrustvar · Level 20-60

    While I appreciate the dedication that went into compiling this tome, this thing reads like engineering instructions for a siege engine! I'll need some time to comb through this information for anything that might be useful to us. I wouldn't mind some assistance, if you have a moment.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Changing of the GuardDrustvar · Level 20-60

    I have no doubt that you're a quite capable <class>, mainlander, but we will need some help if we want to make it to Waycrest Manor in one piece. A small group would be ideal; strong enough to face the coven's threats, but small enough to remain largely unnoticed.

The storyline at a glance
