There's a nice symbiosis between these three quests (which you'll get together).

Use the fake carrots on the Twitchheel Hoarders to make your way inside their burrow, thus completing Crouching Carrot, Hidden Turnip.

Once inside, grab all the sacks of stolen hops to complete Thieves to the Core. If you're a stealther, avoid the stinky turnips, as they'll expose you. Twitchheel Sleepyheads will not fight you if you avoid them, so watch out you don't step on them. If you aggro Hoarders, don't despair: throw at them another fake carrot and wait for them to despawn (in the meantime they'll keep attacking you).

Make your way into the deepest part of the burrow and fight Chufa. You'll be alone for a little while, and after she drops to 75% or so, Chen will appear to aid you. Finish her and make your way to the surface to complete your quests.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Yellow and Red Make OrangeValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    Uncle Chen says we're going to help this guy out with his virmen problem. Fine by me! I LOVE messing with virmen. Here's the plan: we're going to paint some turnips orange, and then we'll try to convince the virmen that they're carrots. This can only end in comedy. I'll gather turnips.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Crouching Carrot, Hidden TurnipValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    Uncle Chen's still got his eye on me, which means I won't be wandering off any time soon. I guess it's up to you to take these turnips... I mean, "carrots"... into the Twisted Warren and deliver them for me. It should be pretty simple.
