Description

It seems a lifetime ago that Grandmaster Hight was walking these grounds. While Ban-Lu has served every previous Grandmaster, he and Hight were the greatest of friends. For many years they traveled the land, connecting with its people and maintaining our fragile peace. I cannot imagine how deeply Ban-Lu must have been affected by his passing. There must be some clues to his whereabouts around here. Look sharply.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to the Broken PeakLevel 45

    Of course, this is no mere story. Ban-Lu served as the personal mount of each of the previous Grandmasters, accompanying them through their travels as a faithful and trusted companion. But... he has not revealed himself since you have become Grandmaster. This is troubling.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Smelly's LuckydoLevel 45

    You! Please help! Stupid hozen stole Smelly's luckydo! Now, Smelly always unlucky. Just turned around and look, pack is on fire. Not going to put fire out because then something ELSE unlucky happen. Maybe something worse! You beat up hozen, yes? Get back luckydo?
