Story

The offer

This is so frustrating. Brusthonin was a veritable breadbasket before the Cataclysm--you practically just had to drop a seed on the ground for it to take root. Now, though, the soil is practically ruined.

Pandaemonium tried many times to purify the contaminated region, but up until now we've always failed. We learned a lot, and I have every reason to believe this effort will succeed, but that doesn't mean I'm not irritated by the senseless waste of it all.

With Lumiel's guidance, I know we'll succeed this time!

  • "Is there anything I could do?"

Hmm. That's a good question. Probably--there's almost always something to be done.

As for me, I've been studying the contamination in the Polluted Waste, just north of here. I tested the soil, and I think there's hope, Lumiel be praised! The contamination levels aren't nearly as high as they were.

The next thing to do is study the effects of contamination of living creatures. That's easier said than done, though--Hey. That's a thought. Still want something to do, Daeva?.

  • "My claws are yours."

Glad to hear it--they look a lot stronger than mine, for sure. I'm not really a warrior, after all. This Legion prefers studies to fights.

Most of the time that's all well and good, but this time...well, the creatures I need samples from, Rotten Frightcorns and Poison Wing Vespines, are both very violent. That's where you come in, naturally. A Daeva like yourself shouldn't have much trouble collecting them, though, right?

  • Accept.
  • Decline.

Rotten Frightcorns wander the abandoned field in the Polluted Waste.

I only need the Frightcorn Leaf, not the Frightcorn Fruit.

Poison Wing Vespines are often seen there, as well. Please gather some Poison Vespine Powder.

  • "On my way."

Journal

Collect the Frightcorn Leaf and Vespine's Poison Powder for Vitda's research.

Along the way

Were it not for Lady Lumiel, I'd never have come here. Do you know how hard it is to keep my hair looking this good?

Hah! Er, never mind. Of course you don't. So...what did you find? Did you get the samples?

  • "I've got them right here."

You didn't get near the Polluted Waste, did you? The stench alone keeps me away.

Well, there's no need to rush. Rotten Frightcorns and Poison Wing Vespines aren't going anywhere.

Still, I'd like to get back to Pandaemonium. Please get those samples for me, Daeva.

  • "I'll think about it."

Reward

What is that blasted stench? Ah, you're back.

Did you crawl through the contamination? Shards! Ah well, at least you found the samples.

Here's a token of gratitude from the Wisdom Orb Legion. Please, take it...and a bath, just as soon as you can manage it!

Completion

Vitda said she'd studied the soil in the area but needed to research the effects of contamination on living creatures. She asked you to find Frightcorn Leaf and Vespine's Poison Powder for her.

You retrieved the samples and were insulted and rewarded in the same breath.
