Description

The world is changing as we speak. We've been through so much. But it's like time skips this isle. Everything is exactly as I remembered... is that a good thing, {name}? Is it even possible? Even the ancients grow older. Shen-zin Su must be looking for something more, after all this time. Perhaps the spirits don't want this to just be another year. Anyway, we should head back to Wu-song Village before they start the festival without us. Let's not keep everyone waiting.

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.

  • Of Water and BloodLevel 50-90

    Mr. Crane told me about your success in the other villages. Now that we've found the spirits, we can begin the festivities. But before we go, <name>... will you come with me to the Wood of Staves? I'd love your help gathering flowers while we're there.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • This Was HomeLevel 50-90

    <name>! I cannot believe my eyes--Shen-zin Su, the Wandering Isle? Here? And his return to the shores of his birth coincided with the annual Spirit Festival? This cannot be a coincidence. You must have restored some sense of purpose and peace to him--and within everyone here as well.
