Collect Spores

Long ago, we Elves dwelled in a beautiful land east of the Elven Forest, beyond the mountains. But it was scarred by powerful dark magic used during the Human-Elven War. Now it is a poisonous expanse called the Sea of Spores.

Worse, that noxious area is slowly expanding, contaminating our forest and gradually eroding our magical defense field. Unless we can stop it, I fear it is only a matter of time before our village is destroyed. Perhaps when you are more experienced, my young friend, you will help us fight this menace.

(Only characters who are level 8 and higher may undertake this quest.)

Long ago, we Elves dwelled in a beautiful land east of the Elven Forest, beyond the mountains. But it was scarred by powerful dark magic used during the Human-Elven War. Now it is a poisonous expanse called the Sea of Spores.

Worse, that noxious area is slowly expanding, contaminating our forest and gradually eroding our magical defense field. That is why the spirits of the forest are becoming more aggressive, and creatures like the Walking Fungus are increasing in number. We have been researching a way to reverse the curse and restore the Sea of Spores to its original condition, but...

• Ask about his research.

We are attempting to gather information on 2 fronts. The renowned Spellsinger Adria Lumingshine is currently on the shores of the Sea of Spores, while Hierarch Asterios is attempting to neutralize the poisons that have seeped into our forest. I have been assisting the Hierarch's research by collecting and refining the leaves, roots and spores of various plants.

However, he recently asked me to find a specific kind of spore pollen that is carried here by the wind from the Sea of Spores. The pollen is so fine that the only way to collect it is to extract it from Spore Fungus.

I'm needed here to oversee the extraction process, which means I need a volunteer to go to the forest and collect Spore Sacs from Spore Fungi. Will you help me?

• Say yes.

Go to the Elven Forest, slay the Spore Fungi there and return her with 10 Spore Sacs. Keep in mind that the Spore Sacs are very delicate and may tear unless you are extremely careful. May Eva's blessing go with you!

I need at least 10 Spore Sacs in order to extract the amount of pollen needed for the Hierarch's research. Please go and bring back more -- this is important!

Thank you! Now I can extract the pollen the Hierarch needs. With any luck, this will provide the key we need to defeat the Sea of Spores.

You have done a great service today for all Elvenkind. Please accept this as a token of my gratitude.
