Description

Do not worry about me. We have a bigger problem. I heard their leader around here somewhere during the attack. I have been keeping watch from here but I have not been able to see them. They must be using some sort of glamour to hide themselves. I have yet to meet a spriggan who can resist a game. If you find one eager to play and can win, then perhaps you can learn something about their leader.

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.

  • Spirit-Gathering LaborArdenweald · Level 10-56

    You are not like the others. The waters here carry deep power. Power most have forgotten. But the tirnenn forget very little. Power flows through the earth just as water flows with power. Flows can be trapped for a time, dripping. Drop by drop they drip into vessels.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • OutplayedArdenweald · Level 10-56

    Now we can strike down their leader, friend. It just so happens that I have a large pouch of puffpetal powder right here. Why don't you take it and toss a few handfuls around the workshop floor at the top of the falls? If they are still there, I imagine they will have an... unfortunate reaction.
