Description

Forge is cold, yes? Need LOTS of anima to light. <Sika references her scroll.> Times before now, anima is everywhere, yes? Now it hides. Small bits, weird places. We know that etherwyrms -- flappy scale-things that are blue -- eat anima. They are not dead, so they are finding anima to eat still, yes? Maybe if we take what they have eaten, we can use it to light the forge. This will probably kill them. Sad, yes. But! We will not take too much. Just a little.

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.

  • A Forge Gone ColdBastion · Level 10-51

    I have seen firsthand that you are a most capable soul. Kleia has told me of your purpose here. She has spoken of the hopes she places in you. I am not yet certain if I am ready to do the same. There is one small task that I would set before you, however.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Cycle of Anima: Flower PowerBastion · Level 10-51

    For forge to light, need more anima. Always more. Never too much, for forge! <Sika consults her scroll and nods vigorously as she reads.> Out in fields, there is a glowy flower. The round thing inside. Bulb? It glows. So, has anima. From the ground, we think.
