What to do
Description
Your next steps are clear, your feet know the way. Follow them to Haustvald and meet your fate! It is the tree you seek, the heart of the mystic Runewood. He will offer guidance, and probably leaves.

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.
