Charting the Forests

Objectives

 * Explore Ferndale. You have [5...0] places left to visit.
 * Explore Melandru's Hope. You have [5...0] places left to visit.

Reward

 * 5,000 Experience
 * 500 Kurzick Faction
 * 200 Gold
 * Imperial Commendation

Walkthrough

 * While the explorable areas can be visited in any order you choose, the map locations within each area are easiest to be visited in the order the quest directs. Just follow the green arrows and stars.
 * For Arborstone start from Altrumm Ruins (see map to the right)
 * For Ferndale start from House zu Heltzer
 * For Melandru's Hope start from Lutgardis Conservatory
 * In this area, there are groups of 2 or 3 Mantid that have wide ranging "patrol" areas, many overlapping another group(s)' path. Excercise caution because they can quickly overwhelm you if you are not prepared.  The best idea is to stand back, and see where their travel takes them, and plan out how to take out the groups seperately.
 * For Drazach Thicket start from Brauer Academy Northern Exit

Initial dialogue

 * Sekai the Mapmaker
 * "Word has it that you have explored the forests and met with the Kuzicks there. I have a proposition for you. Since the Jade Wind changed the landscape, no one has gone through and drafted new maps. One could make a fortune selling updated charts to willing adventurers! If you consider yourself up to the challenge, go scout Echovald Forest and give me the information I need for my maps. I shall make it worth your while."


 * "What do you say?"

Reward dialogue

 * Sekai the Mapmaker
 * "Thank you very much. This information will make for a wonderful map."
