You visit Gudju, where you find Watts hunting for belongings that were left behind by the villagers after the disaster four years ago. He’s afraid that they’ll be lost and forgotten about as the town gets rebuilt and has taken it upon himself to gather what he can and keep the articles safe. Search Gudju and pick up any interesting items you come across.

In your search of the ruins of Gudju you found several items, one of which was a letter written by the daughter of Watts’ friend. She was presumed to have died during the disaster, but the letter suggests she had already left the village by that time. Watts all but jumped for joy at the possibility of her being alive. Perhaps she can still be found…

According to Vaze, the best way to keep warm in the biting cold is by using Red Drop goo as a portable heater. He asks you to give him any spare goo you might find—before he turns into a very realistic ice sculpture.

Vaze slipped the hot goo into a cloth bag with practiced ease, before placing it in a purpose-made pocket inside his clothes. If the look on his face was anything to go off of, the warming effect was both welcome and immediate. Seems like a good life hack to keep in mind in case you ever get caught out in the cold.

Just one taste of the crab meat you brought for Folush last time was enough to turn him into an avid shellfish lover. Now his father has asked you to find some crab meat from the ferocious Clincher Crab…

You handed over the peeled Clincher Crab to Beirke and his son. Folush’s eyes lighting up at the thought of a fresh crab dinner brought a smile to his father’s face. The boy had finally conquered his fear and found a favorite food in the process.

Many years past, Kyuree’s grandfather buried a very important article somewhere in Charred Passage. Perhaps you might be able to find it for her.

The important article buried by Kyuree’s grandfather was a love letter penned to his wife, Kyuree’s grandmother. The young girl vowed to keep the letter as a memento of her grandparents, but not without a little twinkle in her eye as she recognized the unending love they shared.

You run into Oroshi, the master windmill maker, with his two apprentices by the old windmill on Mt. Gala. He’s in need of some crimsonite and azurite in order to fix the all-important spur wheel inside the dilapidated windmill. If you happen upon any such ore on your travels, be sure to hand it over to him.

You managed to find the two rare ores that Oroshi needed to repair the windmill. When you handed them over to him, he revealed that fixing the old building would likely be his last job before retiring for good. The day when the windmill is fully repaired is one that everyone is surely looking forward to.

You find Watts in Gudju, rather preoccupied with the letter written by Higgly. You make an educated guess that she might be at the Log’grattzo Dark Archives, and Watts asks you to go see if you can find her.

Higgly and Joo-ah finally reached Gudju and announced that they came all the way from Log’grattzo to rebuild the village. Watts, perhaps not unexpectedly, was moved to tears by their willingness to help. The day when Gudju is returned to its former glory may not be as far away as one might imagine.

An unprecedented number of monsters have been congregating around Rime Falls. Zeelo says the monsters are far more dangerous than any he’s seen before. Chase them out of the area before they cause widespread harm.

You successfully sent the pack of monsters packing. Just as Zeelo had informed you, they were much stronger than those normally found around Rime Falls. Who knows what sort of damage the monsters could have caused had you not disposed of them when you did?

A horde of Quilted Hoods have taken over an area of Pritta Ridge and are terrorizing innocent passersby and traveling merchants. Their nest should be near the waterside at Pritta Ridge. Head over there and eliminate them.

The merchant looked relieved when you told him that the band of Quilted Hoods was no longer. You wished him the best of luck on his business as you both parted ways.

The Quilted Hoods have reappeared and are harassing travelers and merchants once more. Make your way to the beaches of Pritta Ridge and teach them a lesson. Again.

You reported to Graddey that you successfully drove away the band of Quilted Hoods once more. Merchants and local residents alike will surely be grateful for your continued efforts to ensure their safety on the road to Illystana.

You hear from Cymon that a group of Hobgoblins may well be brewing up a nefarious plot to attack innocent travelers on their way across Charred Passage. Show them who’s boss before they can set their plan in action.

No sooner did you tell Cymon that the Hobgoblin gang was no more, than all his built-up tension left his body. He handed you a small gift as thanks before merrily heading off to attend to his business affairs.

A number of late library books have the librarian ready to pull her hair out. There are three books in total and each is lent out to a different individual. Head over to Ahrvet’s Pasture, the Zawhak Desert, and Charred Passage and remind each person to return their overdue book to the library.

The librarian thanked you for bringing the overdue books back for her. Keeping track of everything in a library of that size must be challenging—a job that would surely be made easier if people took a little more responsibility.

The food fanatic named Fleyr needs you to gather some ingredients so she can prepare one of her favorite dishes: Ledgas Seafood Stew. She needs piquant parsley from Khawsia Moors, some jumblebeans from Ahrvet’s Pasture, and trisparagus from Pritta Ridge.

Fleyr got to work on making Ledgas Seafood Stew almost as soon as you handed her the remaining ingredients. She even made a portion for you! At least now you have a bite to eat if you ever start feeling peckish on the road.

A sudden surge of Tezla activity has been reported around the beaches in Ahrvet’s Pasture. Their increasing numbers have Fohr concerned that he won’t be able enjoy his favorite ocean views anymore. Go to the beaches and drive out the Tezlas for him.

Fohr was delighted to hear that you eliminated the Tezlas down by the beach. His love for the sea brought back memories of Tianeea’s quaint shoreline. The thought of such a special place becoming overrun by monsters is a sad one indeed.

Strange knights in black armor have appeared near the ruins in Fallow Steppe, attacking innocent passersby with their deadly great swords. Defeat them so that the scholar can proceed with his investigation of the ruins.

When you told Mondolay that the ruins were now clear of the knights in black, his tension seemed to evaporate, and his shoulders eased. Hopefully his investigation can now proceed as envisaged.

A horde of Guardians has assembled in the Lefeya Drifts, seemingly to protect some valuable treasure. See if you can find out what it is they are so intent on guarding.

The Guardians were protecting what appeared to be a lump of stone. You showed it the boy, who was happy to see the “treasure,” even if he couldn’t quite hide his disappointment at what it was. At any rate, the boy seemed pleased that his curiosity, if nothing else, was satisfied.

Nikoko seems to have dropped her hairpin somewhere in Fallow Steppe. It appears to be very important to her. See if you can find it for her.

Once you handed over the hairpin, a wave of relief washed over Nikoko. She explained that the hairpin was a memento of her late mother and something she cherishes deeply and was clearly very grateful to be reunited with it.

Muguet has gone to Pritta Ridge in search of something, but is yet to return home, leaving Cerejera, his girlfriend, very worried. See if you can find Muguet, wherever he may be.

You met up with Cerejera and learned that Muguet had already proposed to her. She was beaming with the happiness of knowing she would spend the rest of her days with the one she loves. You have to admit, they do make a wonderful couple.

Yotsuba is an unashamed meat-lover whose doctor is not too happy at her unhealthy eating habits. In an effort to change her ways, Yotsuba wants to start eating Pricklebeak meat as it is said to taste great despite being very lean. See if you can find some Pricklebeak tenders for her.

You handed the Pricklebeak tenders to Yotsuba and she was unable to hide her delight. If anyone doubted her love for meat before, their minds would surely be changed now. Hopefully it was the start of a healthier diet and a happier doctor.

You pay a visit to Morley’s master, the sword expert Meelpa. He invites the team to partake in some training drills to sharpen up their skills. Defeat the monsters that Meelpa tells you to and take the items they drop back to him as proof of your victory.

After the final request, you returned to Meelpa only to find he had used the items you brought back from your battles to prepare a feast for the team. Afterwards, he and Morley reminisced about the days when they trained together. Although Julei and Careena had Meelpa pinned as manipulating the team for his personal gain, the swordmaster was unfazed when they sheepishly revealed their unfounded suspicions.

Liegard has fond childhood memories of eating Iffish fillets caught by his father. However, since the day his father was appointed an alm and left on his pilgrimage, Liegard hasn’t eaten a single bite of one. As age creeps up on him, he finds himself hankering for Iffish fillet again. See if you can find some for him.

The last memory Liegard has of his father is the beaming smile he sported before departing for the Mana Tree. An alm’s journey brings prosperity to all parts of the land—the true meaning of this duty is not something the people of this world should ever forget.

A swarm of monsters has appeared around Hiryano’s manor, forcing her to flee her own home. Head over to the manor to send those monsters packing but be wary of the Lime Slime among the horde: it’s said to possess tremendous strength.

With the monster horde by the manor now defeated, Hiryano was able to safely return home. She also mentioned that the view of Ahrvet’s Pasture from the cliff was stunningly beautiful. A look around the area might be a nice way to pass time.

Molebears have invaded Marna’s farm and are blocking off the entrance. Defeat the Molebears before they consume all the farmer’s produce.

You defeated the Molebears and freed the farm from the threat of those pesky peckish monsters. The farmer said he’d treat you to some delicious fruit dishes as thanks. That sounds like an offer well worth taking up!

You hear of a rare variety of mushroom that grows on the beaches of Pritta Ridge. If you spot some, harvest them and bring them back to Nostimo.

The moment you handed the beachside fungi over to Nostimo, he began studying them intensely, muttering to himself all the while. How did he decide to cook them in the end?

Hurrigon is an acupuncturist whose personal philosophy is to only use organic ingredients for his treatments. He kindly asks you to fetch him some Needlion quills for acupunctural use.

You delivered the quills to Hurrigon. After accepting them, he informed you that his specialty was acupuncture for arthritis and also offered to treat you for any other illness you might be experiencing. Perhaps in a few years…

You have been asked to return to the ancient ruins, investigate the monsters that run amok there, and remove the danger. Head to the deepest reaches of the ruins in Charred Passage, Aery Passage, the Lefeya Drifts, Fallow Steppe, Pritta Ridge, Ahrvet’s Pasture, the Khaswia Moors, and the Zawhak Desert, and defeat the Nemeses that lurk there.

You defeated the monsters in each of the ruins and returned to the historian to confer the news. He thanked you profusely and spoke at length of his love for the ancient civilizations of this world. Henceforth, he will surely break new ground with his research, and the lives of the ancients will finally be understood.

Amarr tells of a tale from his childhood that tells of a soul guard who befriended some monsters. Ever since he read that book, it has been his dream make friends with a monster. He claims to have found some approachable Goblins on Charred Passage, and rushes to go meet them… Hopefully nothing goes awry before you can catch him up.

You saved Amarr from the Goblins in the nick of time. Though he thanked you for getting him out of that sticky situation, he didn’t seem to have given up on his dream to befriend a monster. If he succeeds, he’ll fulfill a lifelong dream, but chances are his next attempt won’t end well either…

Ever since he unwisely entered Castle Cresceno on his way back to Gudju, Hoppee has been tortured nightly by visions of the gruesome Beholders he encountered there. Head to the castle, defeat the monsters, and ensure the man may sleep soundly once more.

You informed Hoppee that the Beholders are no more. Though the dark bags under his eyes weigh heavy, he cannot help but crack a little smile at the prospect of a long-awaiting sleep, undisturbed by the nightmares that once haunted him.

When you visit the emporium, you find Niccolo looking quite distraught once again. He needs something that none of his mercantile contacts are able to supply. He’s considering a trip to the Zawhak Desert to obtain it, but the task is far too dangerous for him. Head there on his behalf and bring back some Bulette horns.

You returned to the emporium with the horns, only to find the Three Merchant Sisters and all of Niccolo’s children gathered there. Without a moment’s delay, Niccolo took the Bulette horns and disappeared into a back room with the others… When they returned, Niccolo presented a traditional talisman to each of the alms—necklaces carved of horn, all with a unique engraving. As the alms clutched their protective charms, they swore to treasure them till the very end of their pilgrimage.

You visit Niccolo’s Emporium, only to find the owner with his brows furrowed in concern. He says a shipment of Harpy Down has been canceled by his supplier, meaning a loyal customer is about to be disappointed—unless you can help, that is! Head to Dura Gorge or the Khaswia Moors and gather some Harpy down for Niccolo.

Niccolo was grateful that you brought back the down feathers he requested. Even though you only offered to help as a way to pay him back for all the support he’d given you so far, he offered you a reward all the same. Perhaps you should return to the emporium from time to time, if only to check up on how he’s doing.

Huey is just trying to make his way home after a hard day’s work, but his house has been surrounded with monsters. One of them is particularly large and menacing, and Huey doesn’t dare approach the horde… Drive out the swarm of monsters so that he can return home safely.

Huey thanked you profusely for driving the monsters away from his home. Hopefully future visitors will be of the less monstrous variety from here on out…

Niccolo has been working his tail off ever since the incident surrounding serial thefts was resolved. Check the note that he left with you and help him out with manning the store, delivering orders, and organizing inventory.

The alms took on the tasks that best suited their abilities, and the work at Niccolo’s Emporium was done in no time. Both Niccolo and the staff members were very pleased with your work.

Naaz is a historian who was investigating some ruins until he was forced to stop due to exhaustion and hunger. He seems to be craving a traditional Ledgas Bay meal…

Naaz wolfed down the bowl of Ledgas Seafood Stew you gave to him. The poor historian revealed that he has a terrible habit of forgoing food and rest when he gets too focused on exploring ancient ruins. This is indeed concerning behavior… Let’s hope it doesn’t end up getting him into more trouble than he can get himself out of.

Flotant is in desperate need of some dewy herb for his sick daughter. This mystic plant, purported to have the power to cure any ailment, is found within Mylos Woods. Unlike you, he doesn’t have the privilege of being able to enter the woods, so asks you to gather the herbs for him.

Flotant thanked you as you handed him the dewy herbs, and his eyes went misty with emotion. Hopefully those mysterious herbs will help cure his daughter of her illness.

Palamena has been tasked with delivering a message to Paem, the Chivalrous Thief of Illystana. Many mysteries surround the honorable burglar; however, the true identify of this crime-fighting vigilante is none other than Palamena herself! Her task this time is to retrieve some valuables that were stolen by a monster. Make your way to Pritta Ridge to look for the items and return them to their owners.

After several requests for Paem to recover stolen belongings, you discovered that the perpetrator behind the recurring thefts was a Succube. You swiftly defeated her and put an end to her thieving ways. Inspired, somehow, by words of advice from her friends, Palamena devised a plan to recruit additional people to become keepers of justice. Perhaps soon the day will come when several of these phantom-like thieves will uphold the peace in Illystana by themselves.

A pack of Crawlers have been pillaging Mendelle’s fields and devouring the crops that she planted with great care. Head over to Ahrvet’s Pasture and wipe out those annoying monsters.

You informed Mendelle that the monsters were defeated, and her crops would be safe from now on. The fields will need to be retilled and the crops resown, but that won’t be a problem for Mendelle—she’ll probably enjoy it! Here’s hoping the Crawlers never come back.

Popo bugs, a natural enemy of the sproutlings, are prominent in areas outside of the Sanctuary of Mana. Julei knows of a special salve that can repel these pesky critters and goes to Trent to learn more about it. Pay the tree spirit a visit at the entrance to the sanctuary.

Glicina the perfumer agreed to make the salve for you using the ingredients you gathered. She followed the recipe that the past Alm of Wood imparted to Trent and created the fragrant salve. Julei was able to continue the pilgrimage without fear of parasitic popo bugs.

Puppet Meriska, a vicious insect queen, has reared her head in Fallow Steppe. Qula warned you not to approach her… But when have statements like those ever stopped you?

After defeating the Lady of the Steppe, you returned to Qula to deliver the news. She looked relieved to hear this and revealed to you that she had once attempted to get rid of Puppet Meriska in the past but was no match for her. Now that this is behind her, you hoped this inspired her to move on to bigger and better objectives.

Matheo’s Assassinant quill pen was less than satisfactory…perhaps to nobody’s surprise. For his final attempt at making a quill pen from unusual materials, he asks you to get him some Siren plumes.

You handed Matheo over the Siren plumes and watched as he crafted what he deemed was his magnum opus. He decided to gift it to you as a show of his thanks. The pen might come in handy for something in the future, so you hang on to it for now.

Careena has noticed something unusual in Ramcoh’s mood. She typically remedies this by preparing Ramcoh her favorite dish of wind-steamed sheeproccoli. Head to Mt. Gala and see if you can forage this vegetable for Ramcoh.

Once you arrived at the Wind Sanctum, Ramcoh took you to her favorite spot in the whole area, eager to show it off to everyone. As a gentle, soothing breeze blew by, you enjoyed chatting about the time you first met Careena in the Vale of Wind, and reminisced about the events that took place that day.

Julei wants to ask the people of Tianeea to share their favorite memories of Hinna. Since he never got the chance to meet her, he hopes to learn more about her character from the people who know her best.

You went all over Tianeea, listening to people’s stories and anecdotes about Hinna. Before you left, Hinna’s mother came to find you and handed over a selection of bookmarks that Hinna had lovingly made by hand before she left Tianeea on the pilgrimage. The little bookmarks are supposed to bring happiness to those that carry them and will serve as an ever-present reminder that Hinna is watching over you always.

A spate of cargo thefts around Illystana has put many businesses on edge. A merchant named Haldam has even gone so far as to accuse Niccolo of planning these heists. Go to Ahrvet’s Pasture, find the real ringleader, retrieve the stolen cargo, and clear Niccolo’s name.

Haldam apologized to Niccolo once you brought back his stolen merchandise. He said that he’d been ripped off by felapine merchants like Niccolo in the past, hence his suspicion. In reality, Niccolo used to be one such crafty merchant—until a kind, elderly trader took him in, and he saw the error of his ways. That’s when he turned over a new leaf and sought to become a trusted business owner.

Vatrio tells you about a flock of Harpies that, without warning, swooped and swiped his food as he was enjoying a lovely picnic by himself over on the Khaswia Moors. Hunt down the Harpies and seek revenge for the hungry Vatrio.

You informed Vatrio that you defeated the flock of Harpies, and he flashed a knowing smile in return. Was he ravenous for revenge this whole time, or just plain hangry? Either way, if there’s one thing to be learned from this experience, it’s never to get in the way of a hungry person and their food.

A group of Guardians has congregated in the heart of Dorpher Volcano. They appear to be huddled around an object, as if trying to protect it… At Berzer’s request, see if you can find out what that something is.

You presented Berzer with the rock that the Guardians were huddled around. After removing the surface layer, he showed you that it was a chunk of rare crimsonite. He didn’t go into what was so special about it, but it seemed like it might come in useful at some point. Better take good care of it just in case.

Donoban is making preparations to rebuild Gudju, and wants to furnish the volunteers with the proper protective equipment. He tells you that Mad Mallard helmets are especially tough—perfect for ensuring safety. See if you can find some for him.

You brought the helmets to Donoban, who seemed delighted that the Gudju returnees would be able to rebuild the village under improved safety standards. Anything’s better than pots and pans, that’s for sure!

Froide has only just bought a new coat for her son, but it’s already too short on him. She wants to alter it so there’s a little growing room, but all the stores are fresh out of the Jackal pelts she needs. If you can find some, be sure to give it to her.

You handed over the pelts to the young mother. It seemed you brought her more than she needed, because she claimed to have enough now to make coats for both her husband and her. An unexpected outcome, but not an unwelcome one.

Marko, Ruka’s younger brother, is at the Temple of Wendel to gather some Seaserpent scales to fix his sister’s broken earring. Defeat some Seaserpents, gather any scales they drop, and bring them back to little Marko.

Marko got to work on fixing up the earring as soon as you handed him the scales. After thanking you, he darted off excitedly to find his sister and surprise her with the newly repaired earring. You could only imagine the look on her face when she sees the lovingly repaired accessory.

Maik’s good friend Lilytea is feeling rather embarrassed about her tail, so Maik has asked you to see if any other people with tails can help her overcome the issue. Perhaps the beastfolk at the Deade Cliffs and the dragonfolk in Longren will have some words of advice.

A scholar named Rhigo has come to investigate Tatoh Temple, but his progress is hindered by a group of Tomatomen that seem to be protecting the site. He asks you to remove the monsters so his investigation can go ahead.

You vanquished the Tomatomen and returned to inform Rhigo, who was delighted to be able to safely investigate the temple. But the question remains: what is it that the Tomatomen were trying to protect?

Warver has entrusted you to deliver a message to the lighthouse attendant at Pritta Ridge. Head to the lighthouse and inform the attendant that his replacement will be late due to some nasty stomach pain.

You delivered both the message and the medicine to Warver, who decided to heed Niel’s advice and take a sick day. Perhaps there’s a lesson to be learned in the camaraderie that Niel and Warver have, with both colleagues willing to lend the other a hand whenever they can.

The old windmill at the top of Mt. Gala is a historic building that has fallen into disuse and disrepair. It’s your job to defeat the monsters that have overrun the mill so that work can begin on restoring pride to a local landmark.

You informed Oroshi that the monsters at the old windmill had been taken care of. He looked relieved that he would finally be able to repair the famous landmark together with his two apprentices. If you’re ever back in the area, be sure to check how they’re getting along.

Dwioh’s son, Anthon, has not returned from a trip to the docks in the Zawhak Desert. In such an unforgiving place, fatigue and even minor injuries can sound a death knell… See if you can find him before it’s too late.

You found Anthon in the desert, and he was able to return home safely. Dwioh, his elderly father, was relieved to have his son back in the family home. Age, it seems, is no barrier when a child’s welfare is concerned.

Kevi, an ambitious young man, told you of a possible groundwater reserve somewhere in the Zawhak Desert. The location, according to his research, is right below a nest of Grumpkins. Defeat the monstrous fruits so that their explosions reveal the underground lake and create an oasis.

The Grumpkins’ explosions weren’t enough to blast through to the underground lake, and Kevi’s plan was a bust. Though the young man’s dream of making an oasis had hit a snag, the way he laughed it off suggested he wasn’t about to give up. Something about his go-getter attitude let you know that his dream would become a reality someday.

The scholar Diem wishes to see the mythic weapons with his own eyes. No one alive today knows by whose hand they were forged, nor by what means, but the first step to revealing their secrets lies in finding them. Once you have collected all the mythic weapons, return to show them to Diem.

Diem was overjoyed to see all the mythic weapons laid out before him. His dream may have come true, but the whole experience taught him something much more valuable indeed.

The robberies at the hands of the Quilted Hood gang continue to give Niccolo and the other merchants more headaches than they need. With another shipment running late, Niccolo’s deliveryman, Seida, shows up with news that he was ambushed at Ahrvet’s Pasture, and robbed of his cargo. Head over there and see if you can retrieve the stolen goods.

You retrieved the stolen package but were nowhere closer to stopping the thefts. All of a sudden, a young boy burst into the store, claiming to be the leader of the Quilted Hood gang responsible for the robberies. In an unexpected turn of events, Niccolo decided to take him in and teach him how to be a successful merchant. Under Niccolo’s tutelage, the boy will surely have a brighter future ahead of him.

You meet Zoen, a quiet boy who moved to Tianeea from Log’grattzo. He wants you to go look for his friend over at the Passagean Tomespire, believing that this friend might be searching for him… Head for the tomespire to look for the boy’s mysterious companion.

You brought the strange doll back to Zoen. He held it close to his chest, giggling as he claimed he could feel his friend nearby, watching him, but there was no one else around… Just who—or what—was this friend of his? Perhaps some questions are better left unanswered.

Droaht has run out of the fabric she needs to weave her garments, but she could make more with some Silkspitter thread. See if you can find some for her.

The relief on Droaht’s face when you handed her the Silkspitter thread was clear for all to see. Perhaps you could drop by at a later date to see what beautiful garments she will use it to make.

Amarr rushes off to make friends with a pack of Rabites, thinking they’d reciprocate. You watch as he scurries off in the direction of Charred Passage… See if you can catch up with him before something goes awry again. Déjà vu much?

You swooped in and saved Amarr from the Rabites. He expressed his thanks but didn’t look any less eager to make friends with a monster. Hopefully he succeeds one day soon, if only for the sake of his own safety, or better yet, abandons the idea entirely.

A historian named Fuyeu tells you of eight ruins that are purported to exist. The ruins are dangerous and inhabited by fearsome monsters. Not being much of a fighter himself, he asks you to find them in his stead. See if you can locate all eight ruins.

The historian was extremely surprised to hear that you were able to locate all eight ruins, and thankful that you enabled him to continue his research.

The sea has grown quite rough of late, and rumor has it that a demonic fish, found at the beach of the Khaswia Moors, may be the cause. It seems like a tall tale, but surely one worth investigating.

The “demonic fish,” as it turns out, was nothing but an Iffish and an Imp causing trouble, and Fahler’s mentor merely misremembered the tale. But demonic fish or no demonic fish, the sea is calm—for now, at least.

Aesh and some scribes at the dark archives have found a mysterious grimoire that requires three keys to unlock. Strangely, the tome speaks in hushed, anguished tones, repeating the incomplete names of three places, as well as the word “keys”… After some debate, Aesh and the scholars decide to open the curious book. Head to the locations the book is muttering about—Dura Gorge, Rime Falls, and the Temple of Wendel—to find the keys that will open its lock. Just don’t forget the soil samples!

Sealed within the grimoire was a Shadow Zero, a monster that was the manifestation of Borne the Mystic’s feelings of hatred. You defeated the Shadow Zero, but Borne’s malevolent psyche still lingered within the book… However, by using the soil samples that Aesh requested you collect, you were able to cleanse Borne’s spirit of its malice, allowing the troubled mystic to finally pass on.

Khoda wishes to know how his former homeland, the modern-day Tianeea, has been faring, centuries after he left it. Go to the Village of Fire and find some typical Tianeean food, everyday items, and artisanry to take back to Khoda and show how much life has changed.

You presented Khoda with the gifts you brought back from Tianeea and described each one to him. This helped Khoda to recall memories from his youth and he compared his ancient experiences to the modern Tianeean lifestyle. The gentle smile on Khoda’s face as he learned more of the current culture in his homeland will not soon be forgotten.

For some reason, Marmpotos have begun straying from their usual haunts in Wendel. See what you can do to keep them away from Terratio.

You returned to inform the woman that the Marmpotos have been dealt with. She was hopeful that the townsfolk and Marmpotos can develop a mutual understanding and live together in harmony from here on out.

Bluster Gasses have been floating into town, freezing the ground and causing no end of slippery problems for people. Venture to Wendel, vanquish the troublesome Bluster Gasses, and make the paths safe once more.

You defeated the Bluster Gasses and returned to town with the good news. The people can now walk without fear of slipping on any ice—something best avoided in this town of all places!

Lolo has read in a book that strange fish soar through the skies over the Khaswia Moors. Head there and find out for him if these fish really do exist.

Lolo’s eyes light up as you inform him that the flying fish from his book are real and not just make-believe. Perhaps it would be best to keep this little fact secret from the other children—those fish aren’t exactly friendly.

Careena, a wind oracle, asks you to look for Shiriu. She has already searched the vale to no avail, so the next place to start looking is Aery Passage. Head there with Hinna and see if you can find him.

Despite your best efforts, you couldn’t convince Careena to perform the wind dyeing ceremony. Her hopes of becoming an alm being dashed by her ineligibility might explain her reluctance. In an unexpected turn of events, you are asked to try your hand at the ritual. You headed to the dyeing stall to attempt to harness the power of wind.

Matheo’s Needlebeak quill pen didn’t turn out as he envisioned, so he decides to change tack and make another, this time using Assassinant forewings. If you find some, be sure to take them to him.

You handed over the Assassinant forewings to Matheo, just as he requested. A quill pen made from an insect’s wing certainly sounded like a novel idea, but would it work in practice, or would it be a write-off?

Packs of wild Cerberuses from Dorpher Volcano have begun descending on the Fire Village at night, eating food that was meant for the locals’ pet dogs. Teach those hot-headed canines a lesson before they develop a taste for something more than just dog food…

You informed Bastor that the Cerberuses have been successfully dealt with. A visible wave of relief washed over him as he realized his beloved Perro can run and play outside in peace once more.

Treen’s husband, Biju, has gone to defeat the Basilisk. She fears he may have been petrified and asks you to go to the Gamurda Mines and check on him.

Treen welcomed you with a smiling face now free from the contortions of worry. For the first time in perhaps a while, husband and wife appear to be understanding of each other’s perspectives. What a beautiful thing to behold!

Although he has recovered his love letter, Keshi has been too scared to deliver it to the girl he likes and asks you to give it to her in his stead. Head to Rhata Harbor and look for a girl named Cheeka.

Cheeka refused to accept Keshi’s letter, stating that she felt words from the heart should be expressed by the one whose feelings they are. However, she was willing to wait as long as it takes for Keshi to muster up the courage to come see her in person. When you relayed this message to Keshi, it seemed to give him the final push he needed, and you left him to sort through his emotions. Perhaps he’ll give Cheeka the letter tomorrow, or perhaps he’ll finally go speak to her in person. For their sake, here’s hoping that tomorrow comes sooner rather than later.

One moment the letter was in Keshi’s hands, the next it was lost to the wind. To make matters worse, it was a love letter he had penned for his beloved. The airborne missive seems to have been blown in the direction of Aery Passage. Perhaps that would be a good place to start your search.

When you returned the love letter to Keshi, he let out a nervous sigh of relief and thanked you profusely. His words “peace rests on a knife edge” will serve as a reminder of the enormous weight of responsibility that the alm convoy bears.
