This quest was working the other day, but for some reason now, I've killed 15 [npc=157883] and my quest has not advanced by even one. It still shows 0/8 Possessed slain.

Edit: Well, I killed one [npc=157885] after all that and now my quest log shows 1/8 Possessed slain. Apparently, to day anyway, it takes [npc=157885] for the quest and not [npc=157883]. Come to think of it, the last time I did this quest, it was the [npc=157885] that advanced the quest, not the [npc=157883].

And most, if not all of the [npc=157885] are close to [npc=158155], which is an elite... and acts like it. Took a couple of us to kill him the other day.

To complete this quest you need to slay 8 possessed creatures in Heartwood Grove.
There are lots of [npc=157883] and [npc=157885] across the quest area you need to slay.
Also be sure you have Recovering Wildseeds quest active so you can complete both in the same quest area.

Description

Heartwood Grove was to give up its anima so that other groves could survive. But then... I started seeing these masks on many of the other fae. Soon, everyone was wearing them. I don't know what has come over them, but it's clear they mean us harm. Please... you have to... They aren't the friends I once knew. Not anymore.

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.

  • Ride to Heartwood GroveArdenweald · Level 10-56

    A storm of strife and fear rains down upon Heartwood Grove. Sylvar flee from the flood. Brave the torrent astride a stag. Becalm the deluge and be the salvation of those who would drown. Make haste. Time wanes.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Recovering WildseedsArdenweald · Level 10-56

    One of my tasks in Heartwood Grove was to tend to the wildseeds. Some were chosen to be brought back to Tirna Vaal. But now the masked fae are draining the anima from them! We need to save the ones that remain. I beg of you, recover any surviving wildseeds you can find.
