Description

We are protected from the mantid. Such was the agreement made so many millennia ago.

There are forces from which we are not safe, however. The kyparites beneath the ground to the west will haunt us, chase us... even eat us. The mistlurkers eat our kind by the handful.

Help our people, outsider. Defeat our enemies.

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.

  • Sunset KingsDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    Olon had a clever idea. He thinks that we should visit the sprites to the west, and ask them if they have any of these ingredients. Some of the elements to this recipe are seeming... strange. The Rikkitun sprites have a village to the west of Kor'vess. I hope to see you there, <name>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fiery WingsDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    I think that old paper said something about "fiery wings." Those little dragons around here have wings. They're kind of fiery, in a way. You're quicker than me. Try catching some of those dragons... or at least slapping the powder off of them.
