What to do
Description
So you outsiders and Faerin managed to both survive and save the villagers at the beach? <Steelstrike breathes a quick prayer in relief.> We're in trouble, here. The kobyss brought some of their strongest forces to the doorsteps of villagers. We have our hands full just holding the line. If you can take out those monsters, we might be able to turn the tide.
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.
