Description

If you're heading down the trench, I'd like you to check in one of our novice members for me. His name is Sam, but he's likely to embellish it a bit. He doesn't really understand how members of the Earthen Ring work, but he tries hard, so we try to give him the benefit of the doubt. Don't get too wrapped up in helping him with his crazy schemes. Just make sure he's still in one piece and let me know so that I can have a little peace of mind.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Silver Tide HollowShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    Most of the other Earthen Ring that escaped the massacre on the boats have taken shelter in a cave a short swim down from the ridge. It's tucked midway up a huge rock formation, west of Nespirah, the gigantic shell on the horizon. I need you to make sure they're okay.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Undersea InflationShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    Fine! Fine. You argued me into it. You can help. I'm leaking air worse than a zeppelin stuffed with quilboar! My air valve must have come loose somewhere in the trench. I brought spare air balloons - make yourself useful and go fill one up, will ya? And find my valve! I'll need that too.
