Description

Good to meet you, <class>. We have traps all along the pass to help us catch mantid that might be sneaking through, but their numbers have been so great that most of the traps have already been triggered.

Taoshi said you might be able to reset some of them while you're out there. Can you help?

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Breach in the DefensesTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    Normally, it only takes a few scouts to hold this pass. Most of this territory is in sight of the wall, so archers would devastate any mantid force attempting to push through here. The problem is, most of the archers are occupied with the onslaught at the gate.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Returning from the PassTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    I still have some cleanup to do here in the pass - there are some mantid still making it through. You're a valuable person to have at hand though, and I know Taran wouldn't appreciate me keeping you longer for such basic work. Taran should still be in the main camp with Gao-Ran. Report back in.
