What to do

StorylineWe Need An Outpost, step 5 of 8

Description

One moment we see a great metal beast rolling into our camp, the next a genesaur follows it and sends a wave of pure chaotic life at us. The manifestations left behind by the genesaur must be culled so we have time to salvage what we can before leaving. If you are here to help, then start killing as many of the violent plants that are assailing us as possible.

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.

  • He Drew Aggro...cultureGorgrond · Level 15-40

    What you saw was the wake of the genesaur, Iyu. It was chasing this mechanical monstrosity and the person who drove it. I believe the pilot of this vessel is still alive and trapped within the ruins of the camp. If you wish them to be recovered, I recommend doing so now.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rescue RangariGorgrond · Level 15-40

    Many of our rangari have not been accounted for. It would seem the followers of Iyu have taken captives. We will continue to search the area for survivors. In the meantime, follow the Wildwood Wash west toward Highpass and look for any signs of our rangari comrades.
