Ranger Starter Quest (Faelindral)

Overview

New Rangers deliver a Request for Aid to Captain Relgen Greenblade at Ranger’s Rest and are sent scouting three sites around the Weald: the Whispering Pools, Sporehaven Karst, and a ruined archway, to prove they can read the forest. The chain continues with hunts against undead, fae, and orc trackers, eventually tracking down and defeating an orc leader known as Four-Toes, and ends with the Reach of the Ardent Keeper.

Part 1 — Level 1

  1. You start with a Request for Aid directing you to Captain Relgen Greenblade at Rangers Rest on Keepers Terrace in Faelindral.
  2. Hand him the pamphlet. He gives you a Ranger's Logbook and sends you to scout three sites — the Whispering Pools, Sporehaven Karst, and a ruined archway near Keeper's Bight — for evidence, without engaging anything you find.
  3. At the ruined archway, /look, then /inspect footprints on a strange trail, then /look again from the nearby elderspire tree, and /inspect footprints on a second, alien set of prints to identify them as orcish, receiving Evidence of Orcs.
  4. At the Whispering Pools' cave mouth (just past the waterfall, no further), /look then /inspect footprints on wet, childlike tracks to receive Evidence of Nymphs.
  5. At the Sporehaven riverbank, /look, then /inspect foam on strange multicolored foam, then /rub foam against your logbook to receive Evidence of Sporehaven and a Scintillating Page.
  6. Combine all three evidence items and the page into the logbook and return it to Captain Relgen Greenblade. He rewards you with the Initiate Keepers Cloak.

Part 2 — Level 3

  1. Show your cloak to Captain Relgen Greenblade. He hands you a Ranger's Satchel and asks you to gather 2 Shattered Skulls, 2 Dryad Sap, and 2 Fellstone Warrior's Belts as evidence of the threats you scouted.
  2. Combine the items into the satchel to form a Full Ranger's Satchel, then travel south to Keeper's Bight (across the river past the wooden bridge) and give it to Ranger Valegazer at the ranger camp there, wearing your cloak so she recognizes you.
  3. She confirms the threats aren't spreading from the Bight, and directs you to a nearby captain's trunk: pick up the key, /insert key, /inspect paper, /inspect report, and /take report to get the Lone Point Report, then return the key for the Keepers Bight Report.
  4. Bring both reports to Captain Relgen Greenblade. He rewards you with a Verdant Waistguard.

Part 3 — Level 5

  1. Show your progress to Captain Relgen Greenblade. He sends you to senior tracker Gaereth Ashenpath, outside Rangers Rest, to reinforce your cloak.
  2. Hand Gaereth Ashenpath your cloak. He explains it needs exposure to poison to adapt, and asks for 2 Green Drakeling Hides and 4 Green Drakeling Scales from local drakelings.
  3. Return with the drakeling parts and your cloak. He hands you a Cultivating Salve and your cloak back, to be combined at a tanning vat (found at the tannery above the Blacksmith).
  4. Combine the salve and cloak in the tanning vat, then return the cloak to Gaereth Ashenpath. He upgrades it into a Coated Keeper's Cloak and also gives you a Fire Beetle Eye as a gift.

Part 4 — Level 8

  1. Return your upgraded cloak to Captain Relgen Greenblade. Orcs have pushed further into Ardent Keeper territory, and he asks you to hunt Fellstone Trackers for an Unintelligible Report (only one is needed).
  2. Bring the report to Researcher Fairgrove at the Heartwood Archives, above the bank. She partially translates it, identifying an orc leader referred to as "Four Toes," and hands you a Partially Translated Report.
  3. Return the translated report to Captain Relgen Greenblade. He hands you a Pouch of Scintillating Dust (made from the Sporehaven foam sample) and asks you to track down and subdue the four-toed orc leader in their sleep.
  4. Track a distinct four-toed footprint trail up a cliffside ramp to a campsite. Return at night and use the dust on the sleeping orc — this wakes Gorakk Four-Toes (roughly level 11, immune to snare) in a hostile daze rather than subduing him peacefully.
  5. Defeat Gorakk Four-Toes and loot his Orc Commander's Head, then return it to Captain Relgen Greenblade. He formally welcomes you as a full Ardent Keeper and rewards you with the Reach of the Ardent Keeper.
