Rewards525 XP

Description

We have just gotten word from Liandra that mercenaries hired by Nesingwary are moving goods off the beach and onto the main Nesingwary shipping vessel. No doubt they plan on making a fortune from their murderous trade! She has asked that we send assistance to the Abandoned Reach, directly south of here on the beachfront of the Borean Tundra. Make haste, Liandra awaits you there!

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.

  • Happy as a ClamBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    To the west of us you will find Lake Kum'uya. It is, as far as we know, the only freshwater giant clam habitat in the world. Of course Nesingwary's lackeys are now using the lake as a giant pearl farm. They must be stopped!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Not On Our WatchBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Strewn across this beach, amidst the flotsam and jetsam, are crates and sacks of animal parts. It would seem that Nesingwary is in cahoots with the Northsea Freebooters. Those dirty pirates are transporting the goods that Nesingwary's murderous lackeys gather offshore.
