Description

The irradiated power cores from the Exodar have been wreaking havoc on the environment here. The most obvious effect has been the appearance of the strange creatures that seem to have sprung up near them. There may be something we can do to help them, but now, their sheer numbers are becoming too much for us to handle. I'd like you to go out and cull their numbers somewhat, and perhaps I'll have another idea after giving it some thought.

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.

  • Botanist TaerixAmmen Vale · Level 1-20

    <name>, Botanist Taerix is in need of your assistance. You'll find her with her apprentices to the west, outside the ship.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • What Must Be Done...Ammen Vale · Level 1-20

    The nearby lake has been contaminated by one of the ship's power crystals. Many of the plants and animals of Ammen Vale have been mutated because of this. I have a theory on how to heal the lake, but I must have samples from the mutated lashers for analysis.

The storyline at a glance

Ammen Vale has 22 steps, from You Survived! to Word from Azure Watch.
